just took a break from playing GOW III to see this latest news pop up

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40901746

President Donald Trump says the US military is "locked and loaded" to deal with North Korea, ramping up the rhetorical brinkmanship.
"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong-un will find another path!" he tweeted.
He spoke as Pyongyang accused him of "driving" the Korean peninsula to the "brink of a nuclear war".

I'm not going to take that risk, to be honest, I just hope whoever decided to have that fee gets karma, and karma as we all know, is a bitch. Penalizing people who can't afford insurance as a motivation is not motivation, it only unmotivates people from wanting to get it. Universal healthcare is only good in practice, for a country with a big of an infrastructure as the US, it's a bloody mess and poorly executed. There has to be a better way to go about it.
I don't blame you. I do it partly out of principal. It's not a "free" country if your required by law to pay either a corporation or the government just because you're alive. I can see taxes, as I "choose" to work and taxes aren't required if your income is low enough.

I dont worry about it. North Korea's armament is weak. It wont reach México.

The US can't bomb North Korea because by doing so the blast will reach south korea, china, and the sea of japan.

Its doubtful that they will nuke them, its probable that they will invade.

Nukes are a deterrent, not an attack measure. Of course it would be an invasion. The fear isn't from Korea fighting back, the fear is China or Russia getting involved.

Because we all know that those two are NK's personal sycophants. I don't see how or why anyone can defend that hellhole of a regime.

Pfff, come on, Pudding and Cheeto are fucking lovers at this point. China wouldnt bother because it knows that if it fucks with the US, they'll fuck up with their market.

Well, that was before. When the truth about the US wasn't mainstream. Now, I dont think people would listen to Trump if he says ''Dont buy from China''

Yeah, something will happen.

What exactly do you think that word means?

Sycophant - butt kisser, one who always agrees with what the other says no matter what. Russian and China defend North Korea because they defend them and agree with everything they do. Why would you think I don't know the definition? :rolleyes: They like that little fat despot and want him to stay in power with NK, so if NK gets attacked, they'll give in like sheep. Sounds to me you're upset I called them sycophants.

nothing will happen, North Korea will make more threats and missile testing and the U.S. will respond with more threats, rinse an repeat until infinity, that's because the window of opportunity where U.S could have overthrown the NK government without a great amount of human loses have already passed, they now have nukes, conventional missiles targeting south korea, ICBMs etc. the only path forward would be to double down on the economic sabotage, nuclear programs and armies need a lot of money.

Because that isn't what it means.

How do you know nothing will happen? Based off of what do you make that assumption?

why don't they like k-pop?, lol
Heh, they also broadcasted propaganda to the North Koreans, telling them their country is lying to them, and that everyone in South Korea aren't starving, and such. Here is some of the Kpop they broadcasted. The funny thing is, some of the soldiers didn't mind the kpop, and liked it. I remember hearing reports of a few solders dancing a little, lols.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
