It's honestly kinda crazy how long some games spend in development. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is a perfect example of something that should've been quick but ended up being so bloated and took forever to make. ...
This looks way better. The other game doesn't look like a Castlevania game. Could just be the art direction isn't for me but I prefer the HD-pixel art and detailed backgrounds here.
Telemundo and Univision stats are interesting. Hispanic population is not far off from white as far as number of college graduates showing that educated hispanic populations go to other news sources.
Does that mean Telemundo and Univision are poor quality?
This all sounds fantastic, but over the past few years, there’s been some environmental concern about this sugar beet brine as well. Some research has indicated that beet juice deicer can be harmful to insects including the mayfly, which are important prey species in their aquatic larval stage. Beet deicer has also been linked to a high biochemical oxygen demand: When microorganisms break down the beet juice sugars, they dramatically reduce the amount of oxygen in a waterway, which can essentially suffocate aquatic animals like fish and amphibians. Michigan’s Department of Environmental Quality notes that in topographically flatter places like Michigan, the slow movement of waterways makes them especially susceptible to this kind of event.
Then this was an interesting comment:
Most sugar beets grown in the US are GMO engineered to be Roundup Ready. So advocating for more sugar beets leads to more glyphosate use. As happened with corn and soybeans, Roundup use drives weed resistance. So resistance to older herbicides like Dicamba and 2,4-D are built into sugar beets seed, leading to more herbicide use. There is no free lunch.
Still on a 1080p plasma tv. Those old charts showing if you can tell the difference in quality shows at my distance I'd be fine with 720p. Do people sit inches from their 80 inch TV?

I owned a Dreamcast 20 some years ago. It was one of the funnest systems ive had. It sadly got destroyed in a flood. Ever since then ive been on the fence about getting another one; well I figured, theyre getting old and its gonna be impossible to find one soon, so I bought 2 (kind of on accident, I won a bid i didnt intend to)! ...
Man I'm really dreading buying a new TV. Been going strong with my plasma for years. I don't need any "smart" features in a tv. From what I understand you either get a good TV or a "dumb" TV, pick one.
So annoying this is hardware tied to the monitors. This is the new gsync premium tax. The vast number of features monitors can have these days make it a proposition of Goldilocks proportions.
I used to like Alamo but after getting hearing damage from how loud a film I watched was, and the constant back and forth of the staff bringing concessions, I feel like getting rid of pen and paper to have everyone using their cell phones would make that experience even worse. I'll just watch at home, thanks.
There's a lot of blame going towards gas stove users but there is also a concerted effort from the gas industry with propaganda and fighting off these regulations.
Discord didn't play nice with Linux for me. It wouldn't update and then discord wouldn't let me sign in. Had to go thru a multi step process each update to fix it. Only discord did this.

I do wonder what the point of this is? It says visa free visits to parts of Europe. How long can those visits be? You couldn't easily relocate anywhere outside the islands on a permanent basis?
Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.
So are all these people who say they are buying from Amazon actually buying from 3rd party sellers on Amazon? I'm always confused by these stories with used items being delivered.
You can see on the right side of the screen who the seller is though? It is annoying there isn't a proper filter but you can kind of use the qualified for free shipping filter to filter out third parties.
