- Comment on [Episode] DAN DA DAN Season 2 • Dandadan 2nd Season - Episode 6 discussion 3 weeks ago:
I was getting extremely strong X Japan Kurenai vibes from HAYASii to the point that you can actually play both tracks side by side and they almost line up. So good!
- Comment on What to watch next after ST: Voyager? 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t sleep on Enterprise. Sure it starts off a bit lousy, but by the end you’ll be upset that it was cancelled.

- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 3 weeks ago:
When stores started marking up the “regular” price to hit bigger percentages is about when I started price tracking things I knew I’d buy later down the road. Looking at you, Best Buy!

- Comment on Best New Anime to Watch (Summer Season 2025) - IGN 1 month ago:
I think you’re confusing “new” with “original”. I think we can agree that new episodes = new anime.
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 1 month ago:
This one seems different in that the barrier for entry is pretty high, plus the actual finished mod is not intended to be played very heavily.
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 1 month ago:
Per their project page in 2024 they were taking orders to create the shells. Maybe there’s a loophole that exists where the housing is exempt because the internals are DIY.
In any case, money was involved.

I just can’t believe that the retro community has not latched onto some trademark moniker at this point to avoid any kind of legal trouble. Tendo? NTDO? I dunno, anything! lol

Printing “Nintendo” on the device has got to be a bad idea, right?

At the very least it’ll help with your spelling and grammar.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 2 months ago:
Depends on the complexity of the route. When I visit my parents in another city (5-6 hour drive) I write down the intersections/exit numbers to look out for on a sticky note I leave on the dashboard.
I guess if you wanted to get detailed you could include the distance then as you drive do the mental math as an activity for yourself.

I do something similar except I’ll stop using my GPS if I’ve driven the route multiple times.

- Comment on Grave of the Fireflies 2 months ago:
If you’ve got it in you, you could head on out to your nearest Asian supermarket and there’s a chance they carry the same, if not similar, tin of hard candies you can buy and cry eating.

That’s so cool, thank you. I never delved into Asimov before, but it’s sounds like I really should.
- Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews 3 months ago:

- Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews 3 months ago:
Never thought about it before, but is there science fiction with a premise where humans might someday forget how to cook because it’s no longer a part of the culture?
