Wym "just as", those sponsored links for Firefox have been around for a while, haven't they? I definitely remember turning that setting off a while ago.

Same account options as yours here on mobile, marketing is also off for me.

Thanks for comparing notes!

2nd panel made me realize that I would LOVE a Buffy the Vampire-like show with the DS9 cast.

...anyways completely unrelated question: do Star Trek fanfiction circles still exist or...?

I have no doubt there is at least one small, enthusiastic group in Tokyo dedicated to building/promoting miniPCs lol. That city has a niche for EVERYTHING that has penetrated Japanese social consciousness.

I don't even see this option on my account. Old Canadian account, but my phone/Paypal app is EU.

...well that's just great, I wish someone had told me this before my eyesight was at -6.00

Net cafes are already a thing there, but personal gaming at home has always been dominated by the portable market or consoles, partially because Japanese companies are the ones making 2/3 of them, but also because the majority of the "gaming" demographic are younger people who live in small studio apartments in Tokyo, and would opt to have a TV with cable television and consoles in their living rooms.

With streaming becoming a big thing, at home media centres are slowly shifting to personal laptops (especially during the pandemic). I have maybe seen two actual gaming PC towers when I lived there (because again, you can go to a net cafe/PC bang for that), but a lot of the gamers I knew were slowly shifting to modest gaming laptops for their at home setups.

I think my eyesight getting progressively worse every year is a bigger contributor to the glasses industry than planned obsolescence 😭

Yeah, honestly I tuned it for a bit and was shocked at how shocked I was about the debate being just a normal(ish) political debate.

It's bothering me how desensitized I've become to Trumpian rhetoric in politics, not only in the USA, but globally. Almost a decade of this shit in the public, and a whole new generation of voters who think it's normal, too. It's pissing me off.

I should have guessed you'd be a gaming connoisseur and already had played AW1 just based on your daily posts (which I enjoy daily too btw).

But playing Alan Wake 1+DLCs more than twice? Damn, you're not a lake, you're an ocean 😭

Nooooo this is so sad! Shutaro Ida has been a big part of the "modern" Castlevania games (post-2000) and Bloodstained. I really hope he can beat this.

Fuck cancer.

Gorgeous screenshots though, I don't remember this game looking so good
