Exactly the issue I had on my laptop. Plug in an external display to extend the desktop and the laptop screen turns off. Wasted 6 hours of my life trying to get the damn thing to work properly until I gave up.

It comes from the publishers in the 90s. They needed an easy way to tell stores/distributors how popular they thought each of their games would be, to help them decide how many of a certain title the distributor should order. The games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for “this is a starshot, we’re hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs”. That then lead to more and more games being marked as AAA due to budgets getting increased, and the whole system became a bit redundant.

Until we:

  • Ban buy-to-let mortgages.
  • Ban landlords from owning multiple houses.
  • Invest into social housing and ban so-called “affordable housing” lettings.

We’ll continue to be stuck in this downward spiral.

The problem is, everyone in power is a landlord or otherwise benefits from the current system, so nothing changes and we continue circling the drain as a society.

A Razer product that doesn’t work as advertised? Consider me shocked.

Looks like Palia with hobbits. Personally I’m not too impressed, but maybe it’ll find its niche.

Nah, the site you’re referring to still works from the UK.

I’m looking forward to seeing this, the one-shot was a fantastic read. I hope they manage to nail the effect of seeing Kyomoto’s artwork as well as the manga did.

I thought this was some humanoid donkey before I read the prose. After reading, I guess I was still right in a way.

I felt a little let down when I saw Angel Beats, to be honest. I really enjoyed the ending, and a few plot points here and there, but it felt like they had too much content for a 1-cour show and not enough for a 2-cour, so it ended up feeling a bit rushed, jerking between comedy and tragedy.

Though I think my issue was expecting it to live up to the heights set by Clannad, the eternal final boss of cry-porn. Clannad drained me in a way I didn’t think was possible, and rewatches of key scenes STILL destroy me years later. I can’t go near wheat fields anymore. 11/10, would have multiple breakdowns while contemplating the value of family, again.
