A good video on how movies pretend to criticize Capitalism, but really only criticize individuals and not the system. Also contains analysis of a film that does look at systems and labor relations.

Yes. There are a number of short stories included in the leaks. Most of them are in the style of Japanese folklore. For example, there is a story where a female Rapidash becomes a human woman and marries a human hunter and teaches him to only hunt adult, male Rapidash. This one is more modern in tone.

 

In places where there are rules and order, and these things are valued, only important people are allowed to capture Sharpedo.

Even when captured, Sharpedo are treated with care, brought back to land, their fins cut and sold at a high price, and every part of the fish is eaten.

Even the bones are treated carefully, respectfully, and with love.

In such places, the lives of many Sharpedo are not lost unnecessarily, and valuable things are treated as valuable.

In the current capitalist world, which lacks rules and order, people on massive ships capture more Sharpedo than needed, cutting off their fins and throwing them back into the sea while still alive.

This way, they procure them in large quantities and sell them cheaply.

This is meritocracy.

What's wrong with the strong killing the weak?

The former represents many places and values in the Pokémon world.

This time, however, Team Galactic holds the latter worldview.

In other words, they represent the excessive and extreme aspects of the real world.

More like: I don't understand quantum physics => I think I sort of understand this one thing => wait, I was wrong => I don't understand quantum physics

I'm also so thankful for the hard work of emulator developers!

One thing to consider is that the far right actively recruits in gamer circles. They are very good at slowly exposing angry guys to more and more extreme views. There is very little comparable on the left.

Every country in the world is squaring off with alliances. Starting to feel very World War I.

I emulate a lot of old games on my Steam Deck. It's not too hard, but requires some work. I will do the work for non-Steam stores if/when there is something I want to play from one. However, I suspect not releasing your games on Steam will really limit your reach. My guess is that most people won't go through the effort to get itch.io games work on thier Deck.

 

rustc will use rust-lld by default on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu on nightly to significantly reduce linking times.

She has since asked for the image to no longer be used, "I retired from modeling a long time ago. It's time I retired from tech, too. We can make a simple change today that creates a lasting change for tomorrow. Let's commit to losing me."
