I am Zach, AKA AceFuzzLord, AKA Dizzy Devil Ducky!
End of the year in December, a digital comic for Brok the Investigator is going to be released and I helped back it on Kickstarter, so I am at least getting a digital copy of it. Can’t remember if I sprung for the physical release or not.
Also, I’m hoping the DLC they have planned, the Brawl Bar, comes out because I’m definitely purchasing it ASAP.
Software that is both ridiculously easy to use and able to bypass any and all DRM schemes past, present, and future. As a firm believer that any form of computer (not including game consoles because I don’t care about them) software that severely limits when, where, and how you can use your legally purchased games, movies, e-books, etcetera, should be outright illegal, this is my answer.
The first ever concert I ever went to November of last year I got super lucky. Headliner band, a local hometown Rock group, had a few different CDs for merch sales. All the other acts had vinyl if they were selling their music on physical media, which was a real bummer because I would have totally gotten a CD from one of the other acts I really liked.
I’ve also been seeing vinyl at walmart any time I am unfortunate enough to have to go there. It doesn’t feel right. Totally agree on the space thing since I can currently fit all my CDs (for now) in a small drawer in my desk but would absolutely struggle to fit vinyl just about anywhere on/in my desk without it sticking out like a sore thumb.
Hopefully it’ll come sometime this year, but definitely looking forward to the first ever DLC for Brok the Investigator (Brawl Bar) to release. Same with the comic they’re working on that I helped fund that is coming at the end of the year in December.
I’d probably say something like my Sony Discman or any other CD player, if we’re talking the general public. CDs aren’t anywhere near as popular as they used to be thanks to streaming, but if you’re collecting like I am, a dedicated CD player is a necessity.
Congratulate him on being bad and ask for advice on how not to be nervous when talking to strangers because clearly he’s got to have gotten over that if he’s an evil counterpart to me.
In order of hopeful least hopeful:
At least with Vocaloid, all the voice actors(?)/singers(?)/providers(?) consent* to having their voices used for these voicebanks and aren’t being duped into making a VB. At least I hope they aren’t.
Also, there is a lot of human work put into making a vocaloid song, which will be something AI pop slop on the radio will have done everything they can to try to cut out to save money.
I think the only apps I have currently giving me notifications that aren’t permanent or semi-permanent notifications (netguard, browser, and my local music player app) are my calendar, messaging app, and a single game. I refuse to let either the number of open apps and notifications on my device pile up to more than maybe 5 each, max.
Either schway from Batman Beyond or schkinky (however it’s spelt, too lazy to find the episode it’s used in and look at the subtitles) from Ahhhhh! Real Monsters!
Both basically mean the same thing. Only difference is how schminky is used in ARM to describe a person/monster as cool rather than an idea or object.
Most of the time I know exactly what I’m getting if I see more than maybe 3+ comments. Usually it’s me saying something anti-communist, something on brand enough for me.
Fair enough, but I’d at least end a good amount of family trees if I’m lucky.
If I ever got sick from something like COVID, I’d just go back to medieval Europe and let it spread like wildfire. I guarantee this modern disease would absolutely wipe out a large majority of Europe and everywhere else it spreads in the world. And little to no effort besides waiting for if I ever get it (which I thankfully never have had and hope I never will).
Definitely take a boat ride to visit Taiwan at least once before any shit potentially goes down in Asia and war breaks out.
Hell, if it broke out while I was over there, it’d make things easier for me in a way, since I’d be more than willing to help Taiwan in the event of a war by doing whatever the hell they need me to as a civilian who couldn’t join the army due to my health. Wouldn’t have to be working on helping them from far away, but rather on ground.
That’s what I used. My usual SearX instance I really like has been failing recently, so I switched to another reliable one, both German hosted instances.
Edit:
I have also noticed other strange things, like how I’ll have an instance set to English but sometimes find miscellaneous posts in other non-Latin alphabet using languages. I presume that’s just because it’s a generic thing I’m searching, like a game or some common software. But I still find it weird.
That’s history that, at least in my region, we learn about in school. For the most part, we let them do their thing nowadays and aren’t actively commiting genocide on them. Police brutality on them may speak differently, but the majority of people who aren’t racist and/or rich already want the police gone because of their brutality.
As for the rest of the states, it’s a mixed bag due to bad eggs, but I’m fairly certain the official government stance is accepting of the fact we’ve treated both natives and African Americans bad. It’s why we learn about it. Tried looking it up, but was suspiciously finding a lot of content from Chinese embassies in America about how we need to come to terms with the Native American genocides and atrocities, from around the same time as the tribunal, maybe a month or two after people started reporting on it. Very suspicious timing on their part. Couldn’t find what I was looking for because I kept getting Chinese (.gov.cn) links over any official US links, which is very suspicious to me because it looks a lot like search result rigging in my eyes.
Edit:
Search result rigging, not search engine rigging.
Only other alternatives I know are either Safari if you’re on an apple device or something like Links/Links2/Lynx if you don’t mind text based browsers. Neither are convenient for their own reasons, but it’s not like we have any other choices. At least not that I’m aware of.
Whelp, I know who to call traitors.tl the free world: anyone who takes the bait here. Not saying America is the better option currently, but definitely a lot better than the “There’s No Genocide In Xinjiang Despite An Independent Tribunal Saying There Is!” China team.
Easy Mode:
Definitely 2 of my favorite Weird Al songs that I don’t really hear people ever talk about:
Don’t Download This Song, and Virus Alert.
Hard Mode:
I don’t listen to non-Weird Al parody songs anymore and haven’t since late middle school to early highschool, so I got none in my head anymore.
The way I see it, if your personal vehicle that you own or rent is tall enough that you need some sort of step type thing just to be able to get in or need to lift your legs more than a couple feet in the air to get in, you are a small child masquerading as an adult. Same thing applies if a 5 year old can stand directly in front of your vehicle and you cannot see them.
Only exceptions are disabled people (you should probably get a lower to the ground vehicle if you’re disabled in a way that makes it hard to climb into a vehicle), and people who are genuinely short (like dwarfism type stuff, in which I question why you have such a tall vehicle in the first place).
