haven't seen it yet. I have mixed feelings anytime a remake is made, though considering it was never finished, because kitty went bellyup it could be a good thing., but I'm hoping "localizers" didn't assrape the translation...
indeed. I feel like it's one of those manga that's character of the week. the plot is there, but it's more of a backdrop than the main focus. Takahashi's characters are probably her greatest strength. she's brilliant at making quirky, interesting characters that you can't help but fall in love with, even when they're unrepentent perverts, lmao.
I think takahashi likes open endings, where things aren't entirely resolved, but the characters move forward into the future regardless.
you might like maison ikkoku better, though, lol
almost like the fans didn't give a rat's brown asshole, they liked his voice or something, lol
...prepare to rip into me, but I think my personal favorite has to be Ranma 1/2 by Rumiko Takahashi, who is also my favorite author.
I will now accept whatever deserved hate comes my way, lmao.
Don't spoil itfor me, lol, I've only seen up to the first part of dark tournament
I should have added tea leaves are not tea, coffee beans are not coffee, and water is neither.
I was more looking at it that ideology is molded by people and people are molded by ideology. symbiosis is probably the wrong word, but it's the best word I can think of (synergy maybe? no, that sounds worse...)
The analogy that's been running through my head is tea and coffee. In both cases, you steep water (the people) with ground plant material (ideology, values, culture, what have you). They're made the same way, but if you can't tell the difference, I'm not coming over to your house for dinner, lmao.
if you mix a small amount of one into the other, the whole isn't drastically changed, though there may be a subtle difference in flavor, color, aroma, etc, but the fundamental whole is maintained.
the more you add of one to the other, though, the more drastic the change becomes, until you're left with something unrecognizable as what you started with. if you continue pouring long enough, the original drink becomes unrecognizable to what it once was, diluted in what was added to it.
fair enough. I don't really follow the guy.
I still think he makes the classic left-right mistake of saying it's a dichotomy of people or ideas (it's both), but he hit the nail on the head otherwise.
the troll who does anything and everything for attention, the guy whose claim to fame is being blamed for every mass shooting of the last ten, fifteen years, has one of the most well-thought takes on the issue I've heard so far.
I use fedora with KDE desktop, and most of what I want to play runs fine, though admittedly, I've probably been relatively lucky.
...I've also heard of one game(ark: survival evolved) that runs better under linux through an emulator than it does in either windows or the native linux version, which is weird, to say the least.😅
...at the risk of setting you off again(sorry😣), this is actually one of the reasons I like linux so much...
in the linux world, there's a tool called WINE, that's basically an application layer between 'nix and the software. been around for a decade or so. while it has a lot of trouble with newer stuff, because it's been around so long people have been bashing their heads against older games long enough to get them to work pretty robustly in most cases. There's always exceptions of course, and very little can be done about games that depend on external servers, but it gives me hope that olders games can stay alive a hell of a lot longer.
I'll give an example. there's a couple of RTS games, star trek armada i & II, that I haven't been able to play on modern windows since XP (and even then the first game only with sound acceleration turned off), but a few tweaks, and they both play fine.
but it would definitely be a shame for GOG to go belly up, i'd rather buy from them from steam, and that's with steam having better linux support.
still, no hard feelings if you don't wanna join the cult of the penguin, lol.
oh, another idea, almost forgot. Call it "DNDQ" for short.
full disclosure: I probably know less about DND than the people currently working on the franchise right now...
...Never had enough friends to learn. 🥴
fair enough.
It doesn't help that a fair bit of leftism runs through linux communities and I'm sure we both know what insufferable twats those cultists can be...
For me, it's more about longstanding issues with windows that never seem to be addressed, forced updates, forced upgrades, the fact that every version seems to double in resource usage for the sake of "features" that I'd just assume turn off, a UI that seems to change the location of settings drastically with every major version, and the fact that, unless you go to outstanding lengths to block its bullshit, at this point it's basically worse spyware than the stuff that we used to be warned away from "free" software for fear of it being bundled with the crap...
for what it's worth, though. I'm sorry I set you off. it wasn't my intent. Peace?
They're racists with guilty consciences, yes, but it goes beyond that.
The whole idea is to soften language, make it impossible to have a serious discussion about serious issues without boring everyone to tears as you try to explain complex concepts without stepping on a societal landmine.
...anyone wanna help me make a parody game?
working title: Dollhouses and Drag-Queens
The goal is to make the game as offensive as possible, but basically steal the rules from the DND rulebook of your choice.
this is something only *nix fanboys say. Ever.
Being something only linux users say and being an offhand comment are not mutually exclusive.
And maybe there's a reason we say things like that. You have to go out of your way to get put linux on a machine, dude. Means you have plenty of time to look at windows before you put what you want on there. Hell, I still have to do help people with windows on their computer all the time. I'm not the one trapped in Plato's Cave by any means.
Besides, based on your logic, are you saying you're a windows fanboy? You seemed to get pretty aggressive when someone dared insult the Holy Code of Gates.
oh, I meant the soldering iron thing. painful. had well done skin on my fingers a few weeks.
thankfully, my reflexes kicked in before my higher brain functions could short-circuit them and lead me to far worse burns, lol.
clippers aren't so bad, if the blades are rusty, it can pull the hair or even pinch a bit, but honestly a disposable razor is more dangerous.
...but using them way the woman in the above image is isn't very effective. I don't shave as often as I should, so I usually end up using my fiance's clippers to cut the hair short before shaving to make it a little bit easier.
As opposed to what? MS-DOS?
why do you think I stuck with windows so long in spite of it's flaws? lol
Get the fuck out of here you blind zealot.
lol, dude, chill. for me being the blind zealot, you're the one angrily attacking somebody for an offhand comment.
lol, even before I got into linux, I hated windows...resource hog and a glitchy mess.
...sadly I've actually done that by mistake...
I don't recommend it...
Implying windows wasn't always shit? lol
...you know the sad part is Anne McCaffrey did a series of books that fit this idea a lot better...
fair. honestly, I miss Kitty in general, they adapted most of takahashi's work up until that point, and while they used an older style of animation (less digital touchup), it's one I happened to enjoy.
...plus they didn't butcher kagome higurashi's bangs in the promos for their version, lol.
