Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't This channel is just so fun to watch during some downtime. He's basically shooting the shits while talking about plants and whatever shit comes to mind. He got lots of videos but I guess this is good as any as an introduction...

Probably should cremate David Koch in that fire since his money (along with his brother) helped create this mess.

Mood.

New chapter of Berserk is out.

And a third pair. This is getting out of hand! There's probably two more pairs (need Eiko, Quina, Aramant and Kuja... At least).

Because of the announcement of Matrix 4. Oh why not:

IT'S NOT OVER TILL IT IS OVER March 2020

While the original had rubber banding (I played it A LOT), that is some grade S bullshit right there. Tops a lot of my memories.

Sony's WH-1000XM3 active noise cancellation headphones. Got this for working at home or wherever that is noisy. It works really, really well. There would be silence if I didn't have tinnitus (really prominent in my right ear, playing something soft sounds like I am only having mono sound coming from the left can).

Gonna make CS3 release into a drinking game.

I mean, marketing is what NISA excels at. They can probably successfully market shit but you still get a turd.

Kind of neat.

There is a lot to unpack about the protesters. It's kind of horrifyingly breathtaking. I mean, can you imagine being someone from Hong Kong? You are working your asses off to afford to live in one of the most expensive and crowded places on Earth. You have a tiny ass apartment that makes a rundown house in bumfuck nowhere seems like a mansion. Through really no fault of your own, got returned (without a fight) to China on some fucked temporary two system, one country bullshit. Your living situation made increasingly worse by a government (they never really tried to modernize the city in a meaningful way which allowed China to build up a competing city just across the border. Hell, it's almost like they're in cahoots!) that is increasingly and now blatantly pro-Beijing which represents almost the polar opposite to your ideals. And there is nowhere to run. Through legal, emotional and financial reasons, they are stuck in Hong Kong. I think I am only scratching the surface. I mean, there's little sympathy from the older folks in my family (who actually lived in Hong Kong) but I stand kind of differently. Like sure, there could be Western (CIA and MI6) influences but you bet your asses there is Chinese influences. "But they (Hong Kongers) are Chinese!". I mean, sure, on paper as much as Chinese-Taiwanese (Taiwanese has native folks) are Chinese. There is a very obvious divide between all three (HK, Taiwan and China) and I am far from sure that HK and China are compatible (like how Taiwan and China are... because holy hell, they are different). What is best for China might not be good for Hong Kong. Man... what a shit show. Note, I do not condone violence. I also wish that the killer (who sparked this whole mess) is brought to justice. Again, what a shit show. Communication blackout incoming. Then you kind of know what is going to happen. If China does it... it has shown that they have not changed AT ALL, in 30 years. They are the same demons from back then... and probably further in the past (Mao Zedong era).

Hong Kong is not going to end nicely. At all.

@deanbOops. I had the wrong name. JOHN Oliver. Not Jamie Oliver. This guy.

Yeah, I'll go with that too. It's just really unfortunate that he was able to do it. Also, something something prison reform.

Nah. Probably someone greased the hands of the guards to look the other way. Maybe even give threats along the lines of "Off yourself now or else.". I mean, there is worse fate than offing yourself. Of course, there is the real possibility that the feds actually fucked up that badly. The government, despite what conspiracy theorists like to tell you, are human and have real human faults. Being Big Brother doesn't give them absolute mastery in everything. But then again, this is Epstein we are talking about... who the fuck knows? Man... if the likes of the Panama Papers (and other related stuff) doesn't phase the rich and powerful, I actually don't think being outed as pedo shit would do anything. "Rule for thee, not for me" sort of thing.

To the absolute surprise of no one, Epstein was found dead in his jail cell. Or maybe we are surprised since it is so obvious. I think people should keep digging...

Nice to see it all fixed up.

Valkyrie Profile also has the exploration of dungeons and enemy interaction outside of combat. From what I can tell, Indivisible refined it some more to kind of look like a metroidvania. Hmm... I guess at their cores, both games is kind of a mishmash of traditional JRPGs and metroidvanias.

This game was more like Valkyrie Profile than a metroidvania. And... ????????????????????
