Every photocopy machine I’ve come across that accept USB sticks do not support exFAT, so what I would do with my USB stick is to split it into two partitions, one FAT32 and the rest exFAT.

Megumin from KonoSuba. It’s a hilarious show, I’d recommend giving it a watch.

“It has been our territory since Ancient Times™”

In Taiwan we just call it 總統府, which translates to “the presidential office”. It’s true that it is a Japanese-colonial-era building, but I only ever heard it referenced in historical context, like in a tour or a textbook.
Fun fact: there are also some Spanish and Dutch buildings remaining in Taiwan. They were the first official colonizers before the Ming-dynasty took over.

Isn’t that just called “being polite”?

Rather Chinese nationalism is still very much alive and well in Taiwan

Only a small minority identify themselves as “Chinese not Taiwanese” nowadays. According to the latest public surveys (News article, Survey source, has English in the graphs), only 2.4% think that way (declining), 61% identify as Taiwanese (rising), and 32% as both (declining). And then you compare it to the unify-indipendence survey and see that a combined 60% still prefer the status quo, with independence behind at 25%, and unify at 10%. KMT may still have a large voter base in TW, but Chinese nationalism isn’t the only reason people vote for them. You would want to look at 中華統一促進黨 for true Chinese nationalism and PRC sympathisers.

Me with raspberry pis. Also complain when digital notice boards don’t use low power systems like the pi and use windows PCs instead when all they do is show picture slideshows.

I didn’t grow up with Dragon ball, frankly not a big fan of the art style either, but I recognize the importance he and his work brought to the manga and anime industry. Rest in peace, legend.

I’m fully aware of other options like the ROG Ally, I’m just talking specifically about the Steam Deck :)

If you run SteamOS I don’t think you can, can you? But other than that, yeah I get the point.

I don’t know if Steam counts as an “open” ecosystem though. You still kinda need to be online to play Steam games, and you can only launch said game with Steam. DRM free option would be GOG games, which doesn’t require online and the GOG launcher to play games afaik.

Second half of the fight is so good! Love the special ED as well.

From my understanding, you don’t “own” a game you bought on Steam, you just own the license to play it. The game file without modifications is protected by DRM, and only works when it’s launched from Steam with a valid license. Notice when using the same account on two different PCs, Steam would force quit the game when you try to launch the same game from the other PC.

In a closed system like Steam, sure, it would be relatively easy to regulate the buying and selling of game licenses since you’re doing it all under Steam’s system. When Steam detects a license transfer or however they want to implement it, they can easily disable access for the seller and enable it for the buyer.

But if the game file is DRM free, then it’s the same as downloading pirated movies, there would be no guarantee that the seller has no access to the game after selling it. No way to regulate it either. Hence, endless copies.

Physical media doesn’t have the luxury of endlessly replicating itself via a simple copy and paste.

NOOOO! Cliffhager again!

KonoSuba is worth mentioning. The “KonoSuba” voice line always has something to do with what the characters were doing/feeling right before the break. Like if Aqua did something cheeky the story, she would say “KonoSuba” in a cheeky voice.

Yeah for sure. I was looking at the Goodyear, Audi, etc. banners and thinking if they actually sponsered this anime lol. Usually they change irl brand names to something like Goodtire, Aubi or something.

Pretty interesting to me that they chose to tell the story through a cameraman’s eye. Curious to see what’s next.

Having read the manga, I think this is one of the best examples of the anime adaptation enhancing the original work. I really enjoy the story pacing so far, the anime doesn’t hesitate to slow down on some story bits to let us soak in the world and character’s emotions. It’s a very comfy pacing. Then on top of that, the beautiful animation and OST just takes this to another level. I can’t commend the OST enough, it is SO good.

Another fantasy series I was excited for this season was S-rank daughter. I enjoyed the LN story, but the Frieren anime adaptation just blows it out of the water in terms of animation quality and makes it look like an amateur production.

And then factor in that it needs a team to maintain it, to prevent future compatibility issues or vulnerabilities, which is also expensive.
