EDF!!!!!

Ditto. Got to see if I can juggle this and Zero.

I'm in firm agreement. Without Dark Souls taking that leap, we would never have seen this day or a lot of other days such as: Sure two out of the eight (then out of nine then ten...) are fan translations but they would never had gotten off the ground without the other games coming in. Now if only all ports can have dedicated teams and individuals behind them. And hey hey hey, Durante's port report: https://www.ign.com/articles/persona-4-golden-pc-port-analysis

You know, I can't believe I never really gave System of the Down a chance when I was younger. I think what would've turned me off would be Serj Tankian's vocal style but for present day me, I love it. It sells their songs well. I can't complain about how he sometimes goes total Valley Girl accent too.

Looks like we're starting to get rumblings against HCW and health experts. This will be fun.

Yeah, I think at this point there needs to be a leader to all this so that the movement can consolidate around firm ideals. What is obvious is what we have now cannot stay else it'll fester like it did since the original BLM movement in 2016, Rodney King in 1991/1992, the Civil Rights Movement in the 60's and beyond to Jim Crow and slavery. Give black people equality, lest they seek vengeance.

The PC version from China can be made safe. There is already one prepatch (with Flame edit) and ready to go. From reading the blog post, they will be using the original Guren translation, which is the same thing they did with Zero. The biggest thing though is that they found a way(s) to legally buy the PC version. That was THE hold up a few months back. I can't believe they found a way but I guess the main issue was that going through Chinese sites is a whole other ballgame than going through Japanese sites which all the translators could do. Localization wise, the playbook is in place so things can go faster. Hard part will be probably the coding backend. While people have played around with it, who knows how the port was put together. Ribose got her (I think I got Ribose gender right) work cut out for her.

You've probably seen something like the following: I'm supportive of firing everyone of them then hiring back a reduced group. Perhaps as sheriff departments, all municipal police departments are axed. I want a greater community involvement in at least who leads the law enforcement agency (which sheriff kind of do though they can easily be worse than city cops [e.g., SFPD versus SF Sheriff Dept). The reduced (defunded) police force will then have a reduced but focused purpose. Basically where deadly force can be warranted which would be few. Gone are police in traffic stops, wellness checks, domestic violence cases among other things. Those activities are taken up by newer, purposed built, unarmed (I'm thinking more mostly unarmed, no firearms) agencies, funded by the funds from the defunded police. Not saying the police cannot be there but they are for sure not the first people that comes knocking and if they do come, they are for sure not the lead agency. In effect, it will rip out the foundations of law enforcement as we know it. In essence, they are abolished. In its place is some form of the above. In many ways I can see why some are clamoring for a total abolition of the police. Its current form is nothing more than a militant gang. They are rarely every held accountable which is only half the problem. Their racial bias is clear. Sure not all cops and not all agencies are bad but the foundations' rotten. Time to abandon it all... then make something better in its place. It is madness to not have anything to fill the void. Edit: Should also mention that the prison system will get nuked. Perhaps even more severely than the police. There might be a few more systems and industries too.

I'm telling you, Persona is like the only big JRPG fish left for PC. That and the related Shin Megami Tensei series. If they are going to do this, they will mention that it's for P4G, P5R and future titles. This handily covers the ~3 years time frame Durante mentioned. Similar deal with SMT if that's coming over as well. Might make it more crowded so I'm going with a no here but if Persona comes over, it seems to be only a matter of time for SMT.

Does John Dolmayan support the police now, especially after the clearing of Lafayette Square and Trump's photo op at St. John's Episcopal Church? If so, it'd be jarring considering Deer Dance.

Cataloging and protecting (significant) paleontological resources is literally the purpose of my job. Seems like you got a really good site which would require monitors like me to watch excavations. With that said, while it would delay the project with say a 50 foot buffer, work can go on elsewhere outside the buffer. If the call is made to extract, then a team (not me unless I get asked) will be there to extract (depending how complicated, we can probably be out in a week or two) while others monitor earthmoving elsewhere. If the fossils are really shitty, we just document it then work can resume. It's ain't hard! In the end, you could have the fossils displayed at the airport or say a museum in say Mexico City to show off the rich pre-history of Mexico or the state/city the fossils were found. They're basically cool ass trophies that you don't have to rob indigenous people to get.

But the way he worded it seem to imply the federal armed forces. The national guard in each state is the states to command. In order for Trump to deploy the national guard, it'd need to be federalized, as according to a NPR commentator. So the ones in DC is the army (or other branch) and any one he sends to an uncompliant state or city will be as well. Anyway, he is really pushing it.

It was bound to be with us during the summer but, yeah, I'm dreading seeing the numbers starting in about a week or two. Sadly, it will hit the marginalized communities the hardest. Should the protesters be protesting? Coming from a place of safety... I argue, absolutely, if they are able and willing. Be safe as best you can. All others (like myself) got their own ways of helping. Though to be fair, I'm tempted to round up and zip tie the taggers and more serious vandals, if asked to. Seems obvious that some are there for their own selfish reasons.

Yeah, apparently all this is far easier than arresting and charging all four cops in George Floyd murder, the three in the fucked up raid that killed Breonna Taylor and many MANY past others. There are cases where the police have stand with protesters and for that I'm hopeful but all else is fucked. All this during a pandemic too.

So... it has been a month since the last post here. After a rope-less lynching, a no-knock plain-clothed police raid, and another (!) "I can't breath" murder caught on camera... shit's on fire. I suspect we haven't even reached the peak. Lord help us if the three in Georgia, three cops in Louisville and/or the four cops in Minneapolis are let go. It'd be Rodney King/LA Riots level again. In times like these where anti-Chinese sentiment is growing, mainly due to perceived notions of COVID-19 for everyday America, I'm actually concerned that a LA Riots situation where rioters not only turn on police but other minorities they view as causing them grief. While one of the cops in the George Floyd killing is Hmong, blind hatred see no distinction between Hmong, Chinese, Korean, Japanese or whatever else. The above is for sure self-interested/selfish. Fact is, the lived reality of Black America is something I can only imagine. Perhaps someday I'll write how it feels to be Asian in America. How I view the Asian American experience. Civil rights and all that.There's a lot to unpack, explore and research on. What a fucking year this has been...

Helltaker has the right idea of gathering a harem of demon. He's also my spirit animal with making pancakes.

So far for old school metal bands, I'm partial to Black Sabbath (Ozzy Osborne is great as well) and Anthrax right off the bat. The others like Megadeath, Judas Priest, Dio and Motörhead might take a bit for me.

That hand up there is unstable with the mic like that else I would use it.

Probably us in the future, with the drug clutch saving us from death (for now). I wonder if there's a part two where we mutate.
