Besides being slow I think the issues with darkweb can be overcome simply through general interest growing. Currently I personally have no real motivation to use such technologies beyond the decentralized fediverse on clearnet. But if things keep going the way they are, then I'll have motivation. I'm into digital media archiving so if that gets pushed further underground then I will have reason to bother.
I am paying attention of course, Canada is likely to copy cat EU/UK/AUS. Just as a general rule of thumb, but this stuff is in the works here too specifically.
I played the fan translation of Seiken Densetsu 3 co-op with 2 ROM forum friends I made online via ZSNES netplay. 1.36 didn't desync as often as other versions.
Ugly Mug Epicfighter - Watched up to episode 3 now. It's budget anime, but the humor and gags have been creative enough to enjoy so far. Unlikely to breach 6/10 territory but I'll finish it unless the quality quickly nosedives like that trash 2025 water mage anime.
Gachiakuta - First two episodes out have me hooked. Love a good revenge power fantasy, and this one looks well done/stylish. Overconsumption in your Bioshock Infinite floating city is based and recycling is a social and literal death sentence. Very subtle.
BULLET BULLET - This I went into blind. It's too loud and crazy. The lack of grounding really lost me by episode 2. I don't care about what's happening at all. I think I wanted a Mad Max anime, but it's far sillier than even Studio Trigger works. Honestly it's well made and I bet most people will like it. I'm not target audience.
CITY - Fantastic. Art style translated well I assume from manga. Great humor and a happy show to watch.
I've been using it differently than the article suggests I guess. So far I've only called people who blatantly use LLM instead of their own words on debate forums "clankers."
Once as a teen I forgot I had an extra Sunday opening shift I had volunteered for at a pizza shop I worked part time at. I was passed out at a LAN party after playing Quake 3/SWAT 4 into the early AM hours with the boys when I got an upset voice mail from my boss who said not to show up if i was more than 2 hours late. I asked my dad what to do, and he just told me to show up anyways and try to apologize. tbf I hadn't no-showed before and I guess boss felt like he had over reacted. I got a 25 cents per hour raise that day.
Other time was layoffs at my 11 year long career now, I had been there for 4 years at the time. Union dictated layoffs went by seniority. I was above 1 other person before the hire date cut off. Phew. We're doing better these days and a lot of people got hired back eventually.
Shit. I really should've taken photos of the weird rooms in my late Grandparents house. It was a Duplex and they bought the other half of at one point to house their 8 kids. Haphazardly stitched together into one house with three door rooms or extra staircases all over the place thanks to being 3 stories tall with a basement too. Quite small sqft per floor however.
I possibly had a close call with the Grim Reaper after patching a garbage truck flat many years ago. Caged, but 110PSI still made me fly across the shop after a damaged band let go, and the air alone peeled the skin off one of my palms. More to that story, but suffice to say that was traumatizing. Now I have a phobia of compressed air and shit like this is why.
Before I could afford a new compressor, I left the garage every time I ran my Grandpa's old one I had first time after months sitting. Drained after every single use and again check for water after sitting unused a long time. Still get really nervous even just filling a car tire to 32PSI.
My co-workers will cut any corner they can get away with. Then after awhile management will send an email telling everyone to knock it off. Closing hopper car ports on empty cars most recently. Then nobody does it anyways and there's no consequences. No follow up. Every single time. After awhile you figure out caring about the slide is a waste of calories and you should just chill and collect the pay until they shutdown one day from pure apathetic incompetent mismanagement.
