Fantasy/Comedy: Slayers

Lol, over 1000 bucks for a core i3? A damn dual core? Hooboy, what a colossal waste of money this place is.

Street Fighter used to be like this too. The computer never had to emulate human inputs, so it could fire off supers at-will. I have no idea how old you are, or if you’ve had a lot of vanilla Street Fighter 2 experience, but endgame SF2 AI is fucking brutal at the cheat. Here’s a pretty good discussion on it.

Yeah, nah, if we’re talking straight cash, union members make about 200 bucks(a week) more than non-union. If we talk about benefits, it’s about that double. Being in a union helps everyone who works under that union. You are straight. up. wrong.

Lul, Unions suffered and striked to provide you with every workers right currently enjoy. 40 hour work days, weekends, and paid holidays. Unions brought safety standards and leverage. Unions keep you from being exploited as a worker.

I watched the entire season, coming in skeptical, left, lukewarm. I loved bits and pieces of it, some of the animation is quite stellar, but the dialogue is a bit ponderous and setup doesn’t seem particularly paced well. As for the voice work, the folks at Funimation have been doing a killer job for the last 5 years…

No one is talking about the new Tylor series? Am I too old? What year is it? I loved the Irresponsible Captain Tylor, I always wondered if there was any more to it.

I dunno, I’ll run an evil-based campaign and I’m 36 years old, evil doesn’t need to be grimdark and childish. I mean, there’s lots of room to do some interesting things with evil campaigns. My friends and I ran a campaign where our players were essentially conquistadors in a frontier type area that used a port-town to…

Pretty damn boss article Cecilia, like one that would be at the end of a dungeon or something.

I think all that “devil worship” mass hysteria stuff from the 80's really made D&D conservative. It took most of the sex and “questionable” content out of circulation. Hell, RPGA (as of my last encounter with it) didn’t even…

Any chargeback(fraudulent or not) go in the direction of a negative risk assessment. Part of the risk assessment includes the potential of a business to be targeted by scammers and fraudulent payment sources. Not every industry is on a level playing field in this regard, services have a higher litmus to provide proof…

They could, but then they would have to deal with all the chargebacks personally and it would impact their business or personal credit. It also wouldn’t stop this from happening.

The fee isn’t issued by PayPal, it’s issued by the credit card company. You have to realize middleman processors like PayPal operate by the grace of credit card processors and credit card companies wouldn’t allow PayPal to pass fees on to their customers.

Bitcoin lul.

This is the way I would do it.

The key word being credit liability. Meaning chargebacks don’t impact *your credit* as it would if you were a merchant. If you were running your own credit card processing via bank, every chargeback would impact your personal credit.

All transactions through legitimate companies are required to keep record of every transaction for anti-money laundering rules put into place during the patriot act. You’re required to report income like that on your taxes, however, if you’re audited, the IRS can subpoena that information.

I used to work for PayPal and several other payment processors in the past, so I thought I’d stop and make a post about how chargebacks work through PayPal and other payment remitters. I haven’t worked in that industry in years, but from what I understand from old co-workers, it’s roughly the same policy-wise.

Huh, I didn’t think a new Idolmaster was coming out!

I can totally understand changes of depictions of characters for taste sensibilities of other cultures as long as it’s for fan-servicey stuff. What I can’t get behind though is changes in dialogue or context. Self-Censoring religious reference & adult situations can totally change the tone of a story, and something I…

I kinda wonder if SAG-AFTRA could work together with their union brothers and sisters in Japan to aid them in negotiations with Japanese companies. If they kept her on as a writer and consultant, they must value her work, just wondering if there was a “Two Paycheck” issue with Japan, as Square Enix seems to have lofty…
