Visited Japan recently and was surprised at the lack of fucked up chip flavors. Sure, they were somewhat different, but still clearly chip-appropriate food flavors. My friend there tells me stuff like this tends to be sold at very limited times and also varies by region. So weird flavors are more like rare special editions than the norm.
uBlock Origin is always the obvious answer.
SponsorBlock for YouTube.
FastForward to skip the delay on link shorteners.
Reverse Image Search does what it says.
Imagus enlarges any image you hover over with your mouse and saves you clicks, but can get in the way sometimes.
Flag Cookies has a lot of uses, but it's mostly there to just grab my Google Drive cookies so I can download things a lot more efficiently with jdownloader2.
Recipe Filter if you're trying to cook something but don't want the writer's autobiography.
ColorZilla if for whatever reason you want to steal the exact color code of a thing in your browser.
Agreed on the general principle, but I'm kind of glad a company that everyone already thinks of as shit will hold the patent on this. It's absolutely not an idea that I'd want to spread throughout the industry and at least now it's limited to use in games I'll never play.
Are you just looking for any big packs of free, miscellaneous sound effects? Sonniss has given away huge SFX packs for game design for several years. Thousands of files. I think they're all still available on their site. Just feed it a throwaway email for the links.
Woah! I can't believe some of the titles they have on there. 3D Dinosaur Adventure? Ruff's Bone?! How did they get they get the licenses for this stuff?
The whole Investigation Team from Persona 4. The way the game is framed does an excellent job of making you feel like you've met all your best friends over the course of one school year and then you have to say goodbye to all of them. The multitude of spinoff sequels takes away a lot of the impact of the final scene and credits sequence, but I've never been more attached to a cast of characters in a game.
I am actually curious. We like to laugh at the obviously anti-consumer practices these streaming services are pushing, saying they'll end up losing their customers to piracy, but the point of the article is to illustrate that just isn't happening and most people will suck it up and pay more for less. Look at how much Netflix gained by killing off password sharing.
I kind of wish all forms of popular media could just, like, agree to defund a bit. Just step things down a few notches. There's just too much money involved for anything truly unexpected to happen in these industries.
100%. I'm very happy for the people in the Linux community who have collectively supported a free and open source operating system that is effectively as good or better than the two leading OSs with massive billion dollar corporations behind them. That's unfathomably impressive, deserving of all this praise and, of course, should have wider adoption.
However
I've spent my entire life on Windows, my professional career on Mac OS, and the last dozen or so years with my phones running Android. I absolutely do not have the patience and free time to become fluent in another fucking operating system. And I've tried. On at least two occasions, I've attempted to run a media server on Linux. The experience was utterly fucking miserable and made me want to give up on technology and live in the woods. I have no doubt that I'd have a different outcome with better resources or more time to learn properly, but I'm done. Hopefully the successes of Linux drive change for the better in the other two. Linux doesn't need 100% adoption to make an impact on the way Microsoft and Apple develop their own systems.
Can you import and legally drive those on US roads? I really don't want to buy a fucking SUV for my next car, but that's basically the entire electric car market in this country.
Most emulators rely more on CPU power over GPU though, right?
