I have discovered that the lag you get in Paulownia Mall/Iwatodai Strip Mall in P3R if you're playing on Steamdeck is just the reflections. Turn those off and you can leave all other graphics settings on high.

Because I have had to freshly inform some folks of this fact recently, here is your reminder that Hobby Lobby should never be supported.

Also: Chik-fil-a and Nestle are particularly bad as well. (Anti-gay; water hoarding and child slavery)
while we're on the topic of hobby lobby i dont think its brought up often enough that they spent millions to purchase illegally looted ancient artifacts from the middle east, in particular iraq, including the fucking GILGAMESH DREAM TABLET
Ps the foot-washing ad from the He Gets Us campaign is funded in part by Hobby Lobby. Yes the craft store chain that fought against insurance coverage of birth control

P3R is out today, & Im v excited to play the remastered version of it, as the remastered version of myself.

I played the original in 2008, when I was 17 & didn't know I was trans yet. I planned to end my life that year.

Here's what happened after I played it (w/ protag ref.):

I've started buying DVDs and Bluerays again. No, really. Bought 3 last week. Happily, I've hung onto most of my box sets from before this streaming scam.

Same with music. Physical media is the way to go. We've all been suckered.

Layoffs cost exponentially more than they "save" on paper (they've done studies!). The brain drain and loss of morale cause even more people to leave, until all the creativity and expertise you actually built your business on is gone, and you start again from scratch. The people ARE the business
What a novel idea—not laying off your staff as soon as a project's over, and letting them cook the next game with all that hard-earned experience, chemistry, and pride.

Something I love about the main feed here not being algorithmic and instead being chronological is when i need a short brain break, I can very reliably locate a picture of a cat without having to read 5000 bad takes to get there.

I took a break from the post-surgery compression vest for a bit and wore one of my squarish tanks bare chested, and it's the smuggest form of gender euphoria, I love it.

10/10 would recommend top surgery

Free game idea: A fighter that pits the capitalists villains are always based on, like Walt Disney and Howard Hughes, against each other. Winner gets to own every company in the world.

So if you read through this, what it basically amounts to is Scholastic stating they fuctionally can't sell books depicting queer folk or discussing racism in schools in certain states, and are using an optional rack of just those books as a means of making it possible to sell at all.
