  As a fighting game fan, this one shows promise. The devs are the Cannon brothers. They are the guys that founded Evo, the biggest fighting game event. They also created and freely licensed rollback netcode, the gold standard for fighting game netcode. the core of the game will likely be excellent. The f2p model hasn’t really been done at this level in fighting games. Most games are sold at full price and they sell costumes and characters as dlc. I’m hoping this game will get more people to try fighting games and hopefully it doesn’t become a loot box simulator.

  I was an expat living in Japan during the pandemic. I actually think they have great cost of living. My apartment in Osaka was like $575/month for a very modern place. Food is more expensive in the states but you really don’t need a car.

  “The South will rise again” folks were right. They just had a much longer timeline than we imagined.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study shows a link between obesity and what’s on local restaurant menus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My follow up questions:

  1. Do unhealthy food options lead to obesity, or do lifestyles drive demand for food options (or some mix of the two)?
  2. Regarding the income relationship: does income drive lifestyle or are unhealthy foods cheaper to offer?

  I personally believe the first option in both of these questions, though I’d love to see some formal research on it.

  I have a special syringe for this. I had impacted ear wax a few years ago and I went to urgent care to get it rinsed. Turns out my other ear was also impacted, just not as bad. After the rinse, I could hear in 3D. I felt like I shouldn’t have been allowed to drive home because it felt like I was on acid it was so overwhelming. On the drive home I heard a crappy Honda with a bad exhaust drive by and I was scream-laughing at how visceral it was.

  Now I rinse regularly in the shower and don’t get to have free acid trips :(

  Plank length: usually 10ft for 2x4s. Though, you can get them cut to length.

  The people going to a store usually aren’t only buying one thing and people probably wouldn’t buy as much garbage if it weren’t easy to buy from the Internet so I’m not sure this is an apples to apples comparison. Also not everyone going to a store are driving.

  Maybe even some threaded rod with nuts and washers at each end.

  Ban the data-mining

  Yeah I’m not saying it’s legal. But its a long way from “factory”

  Also, even if he was making guns, it might have been for a personal hobby.
