I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted

If you use Firefox, you can go to the about:config page, search for "media.mediasource.enabled" and double click on it to set it to false. After you restart Firefox, all youtube videos will load entirely even when paused! This also affects other streaming websites :)

[nyxgoddessofcandles]

There's more to do actually, now

go to About:config find media.mediasource.enabled and toggle it to false find media.cache_readahead_limit and change it to 9999 find media.cache_resume_threshold and change it to 9999

additionally if you'd prefer mp4 to webm

also in about:config, find: media.encoder.webm.enabled media.mediasource.webm.audio.enabled media.mediasource.webm.enabled media.webm.enabled and toggle them all to false

note! this will limit video to 1080p

"Vanderhorst had been under the influence of MDMA and three litres of vodka she had consumed on the night of the offence last September, her lawyer Michael Hill told the court."

So. For those of you who didn't pay attention to the details of the legal spat between Krafton and Unknown Worlds, allow me to give you some details of the finest legal comedy of a generation.

Krafton CEO looks at the hype surrounding Subnautica 2, goes over the contract between Krafton and Unknown Worlds, realizes he'll have to pay out bonuses and freaks out because shelling out those bonuses will make him look like a pushover.

CEO goes to his legal department, asks them to come up with a plan to weasel out of paying bonuses. Legal tells him the contract is iron-clad and to accept the loss.

CEO refuses to take the loss, asks ChatGPT for a plan. ChatGPT says the exact same thing the legal department did.

CEO demands a plan from ChatGPT, which dutifully spits out a plan at this point because clearly the CEO is a goddamn idiot.

CEO deletes the chat logs, failing to understand that 'delete' doesn't permanently remove things.

CEO follows plan, and is surprised when Unknown Worlds sues for breach of contract despite being told by both humans and an LLM that is exactly what would happen.

Court does not go well for Krafton's legal department. It comes out that after ignoring the sound legal advice of human beings, the CEO went to ChatGPT and asked for a plan. When asked for the logs by the court, Krafton's legal team states they were deleted, thus that it's simply herersay. Judge goes "Oh, that's okay, we'll have our IT folks recover them." Krafton's legal team is astounded that's even possible.

The chat logs are recovered. It comes out that even ChatGPT was in agreement with Krafton's legal department, and only spat out a plan after being asked a second time.

The judge, now thoroughly done with the stupidity of Krafton's CEO at this point, rules in favor of Unknown Worlds. Her ruling doesn't simply undo the scheme, but effectively leaves all control over Subnautica 2's development in the hands of Unknown Worlds, including the early access release date, reducing Krafton to just publishing out of contractual obligation. Krafton must also return all social media platforms for Unknown Worlds and Subnautica 2 to Unknown Worlds' control. Financial damages will be determined at a later date.

Krafton proceeds to violate the court order in less than 72 hours by trying to set an early access release date before returning Unknown Worlds' social media platforms.

Summary: In trying not to look like a pushover, Krafton's CEO now looks like a complete idiot who's going to have to fork over bonuses, plus court-mandated damages, plus whatever comes out of violating the court's orders. Krafton's legal department may as well come to court dressed as clowns after this. I suspect Unknown Worlds might buy the rights to Subnautica back after all this and either relegate Krafton to just publishing or find a different publisher for future games altogether.

btw, Steam is currently having an "ocean fest" where they showcase all the ocean themed games on the store

which they obviously decided to do by complete coincidence and didn't mean to say anything by this or anything 🙂

Lessons from the 90s that children today need

[parkayquarts]

dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.

Kamen Rider Zeztz + out of context quotes from my DND campaign, part 2 [part 1]

[009isdrawing]

Uuuuh here's Kamen Rider Zeztz putting Freddy Krueger in a wrestlestyle sleeper hold for the title idk.

[bluvioletbird]

One running theme in zeztz that feels important to me is the internal emphasis on, not kayfabe exactly, but that's the closest word I can think of for it. Things like Baku being called Seven in his dream form, then taking the Seven name entirely when he's overcome by Catastrom. Then when he betrays CODE, he can't just be Baku in dreams, he has to be called Zeztz. Same thing with Nox. I think of the conversation Baku had with him two episodes ago about picking his name, which while funny, does sort of stand out doesn't it? Baku talks about it like it's a fact of nature. He was no longer Four, but couldn't just call himself Odaka again, so he had to pick a new name. And we see the same exact thing with The Lady after dropping the Two title!

There's this pervasive idea of what you do is who you are. Seven is "the invincible agent", Nox is "an agent who wanders in dreams". We hear these repeated over and over again. Baku picking up the English dictionary because his missions have to be in English, and in a handler's absence, he can't just do what he wants, he has to assign himself missions. It's like CODE is this self-justifying structural parasite leaving scars on the characters on a meta level- everyone who comes into contact with it is changed, so dramatically so that they don't know how to find their way back to the person they were before, or even how to build a new person to be without the framework CODE provided them.

trans women's breasts are real breasts by the way

[mousidy]

breast development seems to be the only thing that anyone even knows our HRT does, and even then they don't seem to process that they are... you know, breasts?

[mousidy]

I'm reminded of the trans woman who protested the state's refusal to change her gender marker by taking off her top and being arrested for it. our breasts are as real or as fake as they need them to be to harm us. whichever is most rhetorically convenient in the given moment
