The fuck you mean, mossy?

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. That said, it's vanishingly rare that I've regretted designing something for long term use rather than just hacking it together.

Taking the extra time to document stuff, to add guard rails/error handling, to make a piece of script easier to re-use, to actually plan something rather than building it as you go... almost always a good use of time.

Oh buddy... that's the new, less horrifying shock content.

Lets just say that glass jars are not appropriate anal toys, there's a reason why glass sex toys are solid, and that some people have terrifying amounts of pain tolerance.

And this poster is an incredibly un-subtle recreation of the first frames of that horror. At least they added pants. And a lid.

she actually likes him, money was the main reason but it wasn’t the only reason

You kind of buried the lede here by not including this info in the main post.

Sounds like your daughter is just being honest. Honest, open communication is important for a successful relationship. There's all sorts of reasons for sparking the initial interest/attraction, but what is important is that the relationship has more bones than the initial spark, which it sounds like it probably does.

My wife caught my eye because she literally caught my eye. That doesn't mean I'm only with her for her looks just because that was the initial reason for my interest.


As others have said, the main concern here is that she needs to ensure that she has her own financial security separate from him so she is not trapped or up shit creek if his finances go away for any reason.

Beyond that, the age difference can affect power dynamics and expectations within the relationship. That's less your business, more between her and him. It takes a lot of open discussion and willingness to compromise and work with each other.

My wife is somewhere around 15 years older than me. We started dating when I was past college but younger than 25. Just barely within the half plus seven window. We have differing opinions on acceptable levels of cleanliness/organization, and how household chores are to be split up. It also doesn't help that I didn't have nearly as long of a time living on my own before moving in with her. But with a lot of discussion and patience on both sides we make it work.

Apparently the match was also delayed due to some medical issue Tyson had recently where he was seen coughing up blood during a plane flight.

And I've heard that his knee was in a brace pre-fight.

That's effectively why Microsoft's plan to restart Three Mile Island is stalled out. They want it to be paid by taxpayer dollars despite (as far as I know) having no plans to provide the generated electricity to taxpayers.

I think this may have leaked online at some point (at least one of the cancelled 3D remakes did), and if I recall right it was just an incomplete attempt to remake a few of the game's most iconic battles in 3D.

Might be lurking on an old PC backup on one of my hard drives. I'll have to take a look.

At least we have the Chrono Trigger Plus romhack now, even if I'm disappointed that they haven't implemented the DS version's extra content that linked things better to Cross. And we have a translation of Radical Dreamers (short text adventure game for the SNES that was a pseudo demo/preview of part of Cross's story).

Outside of the original Metal Gear 1 and 2, I'm not sure what other notable games are on the MSX. That said, more cores are never a bad thing. I just wish the price for the Analogue Pocket would come down.

Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.

There are plenty of worse ways for people in good health to make money, and I understand the desire to improve one's personal health and prolong life (assuming you have one you enjoy), but there's just something I find deeply unsettling and intensely objectionable about it all.

Especially when there's all these "adrenochrome" and "vampire" crazy conspiracies giving them air cover so to speak.

Edit: I think what bothers me is that if it does work, it's restricted to the elite, and if it doesn't then we're negatively impacting the donor's health for no reason.

What frustrates me is that it's not 100% insane, just 95%. There are Silicon Valley CEOs and others that regularly get transfusions of blood from younger, healthier people as a means of improving their own health. The New Yorker wrote about this and some other crazy life extension stuff happening in the Silicon Valley in 2017.

So no tortured babies or adrenochrome, but we do quite literally have people taking blood from the young in an attempt to extend their own lives.

Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

Yoko Taro is the creative director behind the Nier and Drakengard series, and he has released a lot of supplemental material across a variety of mediums over the years in Japan. Accord's Library is a site that is dedicated to finding this material, archiving it, and translating it.

Today, in Accord's Library Discord, they announced that they received a Cease and Desist from Square-Enix, and on Oct 31, the Library and Gallery sections of the site will be closed and taken offline.

Announcement Screenshot

Announcement TextDearest Recorders and Observers of Accord's Library.

These past few years have been a pleasure, but we regret to inform you all that we've been contacted by the Square Enix Legal Team. And after some private communications, based on the outlined requirements we have come to the conclusion that Accord's Library must close its doors by the end of the month. While we are sad to have to go, we also must respect the wishes of the Legal Team.

The Library and Gallery will remain opened for the next 2 weeks and will be officially closed on Oct 31.

We hope to continue spending time with you all, and other fans in the future through our Discord Server, which we plan to keep opened.

On behalf of the entire Council for Accord's Library, we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship over the years. We hope that you will continue to use the discord, though we understand if this is where we part ways.

From the very bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful to everyone who's volunteered their time to help build Accord's Library into what it was. Thank you to all of our Transcribers, Translators, and most of all, all of you for sticking with us.

Take care of yourselves out there. Glory to Mankind.

  • The Accord's Library Council

If anyone is skilled with backing up sites, any assistance would be appreciated. Even if it's just to point at the right tool for the job (been almost a decade since I've backed up part of a site).

Shoutout to !helloharu@lemmy.world making the original post.

Now that romhacking.net is (effectively) dead, what sites are everyone using to keep up with new releases?

Have any of the fan continuation projects really risen beyond simply rehosting the DB that was put up on archive.org?
