Why did Crunchyroll’s subtitles just get worse?
A small change to operations may undermine a key differentiator for the anime streamer.

Is it paranoid of me to log back in to my Best Buy account 3-4 times a day just to confirm that my Switch 2 preorder hasn’t been cancelled?
Maybe…but stories like this make that feel justified 😅

Costco is cancelling (all?) of their Switch 2 pre-orders
Cancellation reason "The item ordered is Out of Stock."

So… Genshin 5.3 gacha results…
Won 50/50 on both Mavuika AND Citlali in 120 pulls 🫶
Decided to use my remaining 60 fates on the weapon banner (really needed a good option for Citlali). While I didn’t get both signatures, Wolf’s Gravestone is still incredible.
Now to stockpile for Skirk 😅

Since I finally got a much needed holiday from work, I decided to start Persona 3 Reload.
I don’t know if it’s a different mindset now but man I’m enjoying this so much more than I did playing the original back in the day.
SEES feels less like a task force, more like kindred spirits now.

So I didn’t understand the appeal of 4k for gaming. I thought that 1080p is just fine so I didn’t bother with getting a 4k TV for my PS5.
Well, I got a good deal for both a living room and bedroom 4k TV.

Side note: it’s a little goofy to hear the not-clean version of Brave New World. You’d think marketing wouldn’t want profanity in a trailer like this 😅

People who are like “I don’t mind our current clusterfuck of a health care system because people with socialized medicine have to wait six months for an appt” have obviously never had to see a specialist for anything ever

So I totally forgot PS Remote Play was a thing.
Flawless stream quality with minimal input lag on my home setup, plus not having to run it natively saves SO much battery 😅
I’ll try testing it out at work tomorrow on their WiFi and see how it performs

I was recently gifted a food processor. I’ve never owned one this complicated with cups, bowls and slicing options before, and I have learned two things:
1. I get why people say to pulse food instead of leaving it on.
2. I know how purées are made.
3. I will not be eating a chicken salad tonight.

this is genuinely the only effective moderation strategy
hard and fast rules mean that the worst actors will quickly test exactly what the lines are and live right on them, and they are very good at this
"nah, man, you're bad news, goodbye" is the only way to deal with them

For the record: I think the best thing Something Awful did on the internet was implement a "We can just ban you if your vibes are off" policy, and I hope that's what we're seeing here.

Probably need a couple more years of data to solidify this but I’m pretty sure that the more that pro players and streamers hate a particular release of Call of Duty, the better the game actually is.
