  • Apparently the UN is now demanding Japan censor its manga, anime, and games to "reduce gender-based violence against women".
    ...What? How does that make sense?

    Ah the UN, the most useless and ignored organization in the world

    Barring the security council, they have as much authority to ban things as an undertale discord server

    They might want to consider creating a separate division for media-related issues such as these.

    I created a blog entry detailing some of the things I did in Japan.
    @Nikokaro I went for a holiday, to get my mind off regular life for a bit after how unhappy this year's been for me so far.

    I did bring home plenty of souvenirs - plenty of photos, yes, but also physical ones too! From the various Nintendo and Pokémon Stores and the Pokémon Cafe, such as a Snorlax plush, three new amiibo (I'm not really a collector, just characters from games I like), and some Zelda pins, and two glasses from the Cafe (including a cup styled after Gengar).

    Going to the airport for a flight to Japan soon!
    Playing through Spyro 3: Reignited, and up to the Fireworks Factory level - HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL THE TWIN DRAGONS? God I hate this so much.

    These are the absolute worst bosses in the trilogy, by far - they're quick and constantly moving targets, which get smaller as they get hurt (they lose body segments), and worst of all, they regenerate health. WHY. What goddamn bozo thought this was a good combination?!

    This, along with the incredibly ill-fitting skateboarding (really, Insomniac? Trying to cram Tony Hawk into a quadruped-purple-dragon game?), is why I consider Spyro 3 the worst game of the trilogy. The first two games are way more fun and replayable as they don't have stupid crap like these.
    My head's killing me right now - ugh, have such a bad headache, even after taking Nurofen Zavance.
    Goddamn do I hate life at times...

    Make sure to drink plenty and take a nice bath. It'll help you to cool off.

    I also suffer from periodic headaches. Check your blood pressure. It may also depend on possible myopia, or contracted cervical. Finally, it can have psychological origins; Are you used to brooding, often lost in thought? Massage and relax the temples, jaw and neck. 😉
    I'm replaying Persona 4 Golden again, after not touching it in ages, and...hoo boy, do I love Adachi. He's such a loveable goofball - until he isn't.

    Constantly acting like an idiot, slipping information to the player's Investigation Team at the cost of being repeatedly scolded by his boss Dojima (your uncle) - which is actually to misdirect your investigation, as it turns out. Such a great character, Adachi is.
    It's the 28th of August here in Sydney - almost the end of winter. Yet it's currently 29°C - what the fuck.
    We humans have seriously fucked up the climate; I really don't want to see what December, January, and February (our summer)'s going to be like...

    Project 2025, a proposed change to American laws, could negatively affect almost every American if it gets passed - along with abolishing the Dept of Education, and providing more kickbacks to already-wealthy private schools at the severe cost of taxpayers and public schools,

    Also almost certain to restrict abortions due to the general "pro-life" agenda many Christians have (which'd just lead to more struggling families, more unhappy parents, more orphans, more homeless, etc.).

    Even if Trump wins you don't have to worry about this BS, Congress is looking to go Democrat so he would be lame duck - AND - despite the recent biases of the courts you can't just walk back the bill of rights

    It's loony stuff to draw in loony voters

    Fear not: Trump will dispel these and other unfounded fears. With him; joy, wealth and prosperity for all, especially minorities, outcasts and oppressed. Who wouldn't want him at the head of their country? 🤣 ... 😐 ... 😥
    Haven't posted in a while; haven't had anything to say.
    Let's see...oh, my old employer disabled all browser extensions as a security measure, and intranet firewalls blocked online ads.

    Which meant there was no Adblock for if we worked at home...greeeat. How's that "secure", considering some ads don't need to be clicked to deliver malware?

    Not to mention the loss of productivity caused by employees being deluged with intrusive ads when using the browser.
    All in all, coming from a not-at-all security expert...rather stupid. Just allow uBlock Origin, honestly! You've whitelisted other extensions, so why not add that one, huh?
    AkiraKurusu

    Or, like, sometimes we had to watch YouTube vids in training and stuff - and without adblock, YT is almost literally AdTube. How are we supposed to learn from a video, if the video's being constantly interrupted by ads?
    Ridiculous. Great job, workplace I shall not mention.

    Of course, the firewalls weren't perfect either, and some distracting ads slipped through.

    Yeah, hopefully they've whitelisted uBlock by now.
    One thing I do like about Metroid is how the "Varia Suit" has become practically integral to the series, despite the name originally being a mistranslation. It was meant to be "Barrier Suit", but someone screwed up...and it's become a mainstay ever since.

    Funny how things turn out, eh?
    Nuclear power is WAY more "green" than fossil fuels, and far safer as well.
    "Safer", I say? Yes indeed - proper handling doesn't result in air pollution, and waste can be safely disposed of.
    Nuclear should be our main form of energy, alongside sun/wind/water. It does not deserve the bad rap it's gotten.

    This is one of the instances where I can't resist answering on a profile post, while simultaneously suffering from the tight 420char limit. So I'll cheat by inserting an image (and still haven't covered a minimum).
