All glory to the Nerd, death to the Walkerite heretics

 

Half the game had bouncy upbeat pop songs with cheesy lyrics on a permanent loop while you were exploring the game's mostly barren levels and doing basic fetch quests, making you feel like you were trapped in a 12-year-old girl's iPod

It would've been a perfect thematic fit for FFX-2 where you were playing as a girl idol group but in FFXIII-2 it was just one of the many puzzling things about that trilogy cat-confused

spoilerYes I have had the OST on my phone since 2011

Protestant work ethic is a hell of a thing

I looked up that thread, and most of it was just working class people being angry... at the possibility of someone somewhere faking being mentally ill so they can live a meager life on disability benefits while they themselves have to work shit jobs

earlier this year a Healthcare ceo was murdered and the entire country celebrated it and called the shooter a hero

It's worth noting this was in Scotland. Also this kid had apparently fallen into the fascist online content pipeline when he was 13. There is no "murder a CEO" pipeline for angsty young men

Square couldn't even bother to draw new art for her? brow

That 1999 CGI render isn't exactly fitting in

 

"THERE ARE NO BLACK PEOPLE IN RIVENDELL, IT'S UNREALISTIC"

To be honest, I absolutely would expect the cast to be way more diverse if the movies were shot today. It's shocking how white those movies are- I'm pretty sure the haradrim are the only on-screen POC in the entire trilogy. The Hobbit movies tried to correct for this by having POC extras in the crowd scenes in Laketown, and some of them may have even had a few lines. Still no actual characters though

It's kinda funny that the terrible Dungeons and Dragons movie with Jeremy Irons that came out a year before Fellowship had an elf portrayed by a black actor as one of the main characters

Going from all that QAnon & Save the Children hysteria to defending pedophilia as a critical load-bearing structure of the US michael-laugh

I want the QAA boys to react to this development, they're gonna lose their minds

There will be an alternative view and there will be an alternative put there, which is about the society that deals with poverty, inequality and a foreign policy that’s based on peace rather than war.

I'm sure he will get called a traitorous Putler stooge for that as the entirety of Europe's liberal establishment is currently horny for war

That was about a month ago when the feeds went down the first time. They came back on after that. They went down again briefly last week, and now they've been down for about a day

I hope this newest Musk arc keeps going, it has the potential to be really funny

 

I have made a terrible mistake

A while back I made a post about a pair of nice cheap Chinese IEMs I got from AliExpress, and to continue in the same vein, here's another post about a cheap AE find.

I got these Xiaomi Mijia Bluetooth bone conduction earphones because I wanted something I could easily wear with a bicycle helmet. They cost about 12 dollars depending on the seller, but if you're familiar with AliExpress' coin system, you can easily find them at 60% off, at which price they're a steal. They don't look or feel too cheap either- you could tell me these were 30 bucks and I'd believe you.

I found my previously existing wireless earbuds to be a pretty bad fit for cycling: not only are the touch controls fiddly to operate while riding (or even when you're just standing still, touch controls suck), but they also block too much outside noise which isn't great for safety.

These fix both of those issues- they have nice definite physical buttons, and since they don't block your ear canals, you stay much more aware of your surroundings. When they're off or not playing anything, they don't affect your hearing at all, so you can just leave them on and forget they're there entirely, especially since they only weigh about 26 grams

These are my first bone conduction earphones and some of the customer reviews question if they use true bone conduction, but they sound fine to me. The sound quality is perfectly adequate- certainly for the price, especially at the previously mentioned -60%. They're not as loud or as bassy as other headphones and you will struggle to hear anything if you're next to busy traffic or a construction zone, but I'll take that tradeoff for safety

They seem to leak a lot at high volumes though so if you're sitting in a quiet room listening to TrueAnon at full blast, everyone in the vicinity will probably hear what brace-dark-cowboy is saying, which may or may not be something you want

The promised battery life is 11 hours and this seems to be true from my experiences. I've yet to even hear a low battery beep even after 8+ hours of use

"Buddha-type valve???" monke-beepboop

(These are the three types of valves you find on bicycle tires: Presta, Dunlop and Schrader, often also called French, English and American valves, respectively)

I somehow didn't know this before and I find it really funny

 

Just a bunch of crap about how Russia is going to invade the EU or collapse imminently and also videos of random American military youtubers jerking off over how AWESOME and BADASS the Finnish military is

 

I did not expect to run into Bored Ape t-shirts in a Finnish dollar store in the year 2025

 

Thank you Mr. Altman, spending five minutes to check the reviews on whatever doodad I was considering to buy was way too much effort

Why would I want to read the actual reviews posted by the actual humans who actually bought and used the thing over an incredibly generic one paragraph summary that always skews positive

 

I'm calling for a total ban on glass containers until people learn to clean up after themselves angery

 

First one was another cyclist, the other some dude who stopped his car when he saw me crouched next to my bike on the side of the road. The dude with the car offered to give me a ride home but my bike wouldn't fit in his car 07

Neither one could help me and in the end I had to walk the bike home, but both strangers' willingness to help made my night much less shitty
