  • I was already bitter about patrasche being translated/localized(?) as patlash in re:zero but things are getting even shittier I guess. For those not in the know Dog of Flanders is a story nearly every japanese person will know at least to some degree, and has been referenced infinitely in anime and manga.

    And similarly so many weird fucking names you could search the katakana online and find 30 different game wikis that reveal it was just akward katakana for a common non-japanese name, but no it has to to be different in this anime or that manga and we are going to make up some aneurysm romanization for it.

    or incorrect subject assumtion because japanese is vague on that and if it’s ai translated it actually makes sense with the lack of context awareness, and the list could go on for days









  • I try once each year for about a month but so far I just can’t and I’m the opposite. Before the total style change it was also opposite and early kde was just kinda gross. Old gnome was my entry point with desktop environments and linux in general. When the change happened I tried literally everything else before kde because I didn’t like the older versions but eventually it came standard on a lot of distros and I just got used to it.









  • everything up to 2006 was roughly 70K cad including stuff I never used, duplicates only counted if they were either games for different system/movies from different phys. media/given to friends. value of dollar was roughly accounted for as if it was bought when new.

    A bunch of friends and I stopped pirating stuff when we started working and had no time for entertainment and we tallied everything up and checked each other’s calculations and voted on if certain items could be included, etc., as a closure/end of an era thing. I was second place and top of our group was like 130K

    current bounty is probably just whatever mcu films are on bluray and maybe 6 bluray volumes of whatever anime weren’t on the netflix or amazon I’m mooching. Maybe like 8 switch games but I only played 2 and wiped it when I sold the switch, and 3 pc games but I only played 1 but I’ll probably just go through my steam backlog if I ever have gaming time again in my life.

    edit: I guess also some netflix shows while I wasn’t mooching an account and some apple shows but no idea how to account for that.


  • Some unlimited plans ban for account sharing so if the vpn changes your IP more frequently than an internet provider changes your IP maybe it could get flagged. It doesn’t specifically break the rules in the ones I read though. Also on some usenet guides I’ve looked at it is recommended not to use vpn, but if it works and you live somewhere with shittier piracy laws why not.

    Where I live if you get the letter you can ignore it and they can pound sand, but with vpn on torrents but not usenet I haven’t had the letter in years.
