It’s in the music, too, it’s awful.

This article has me torn.

This is the only reasonable point I’ve seen on the matter.

Interestingly enough, the JRPGs that were “heavily” pushed in the West early last gen - Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, etc. - had lead characters who were presented as adults with adult problems. Yuri and Kaim were not complaining or ignorant of how the world works around them, like Vaan, Tidus, or any other generic…

I can actually get behind that. It would be difficult to design mechanically, but it would be more interesting for Batman to have to do something along the lines of:

FYI? Utada Hikaru sampled this track, it’s a classic. If you’ve never seen the film, it’s in the Criterion Collection I believe.

I’m just amused by his POS ass being taken away by black bailiffs.

This. Erik’s problem was his methods, borne from the master’s house to his homeland. Naturally the film did not allow for it, but had he reflected on his rage and his response to it, he would see that he should have come to Wakanda to learn, just as T’Challa had much to learn from him.

During the holiday, I stumbled upon this sight a couple streets off of Gaien Higashi Dori in Roppongi. When inebriated at 3 in the morning in a foreign land, though, my paranoia screams “walk away” so this is the best shot drunk me could get. There’s gems all over the place there.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt here (studying computer engineering so I’m biased) but don’t overthink this. Coding in and of itself is not interesting on its own - it’s the problems you can solve that make coding so powerful and, I argue, enjoyable.

I rarely have time other than a few Overwatch matches (Château Guillard + Doomfist = rage-inducing catharsis) each week. This weekend though, I’m branching out to titles in between assignments.

It’s hard to read Tokyo’s arcade scene. They have some gems:

Enjoy, now and forever.

Self-hatred is a hell of a drug.

I see you’ve had the Thundercat treatment as well.

Me: How are you going to describe this series to anyo-

Can confirm: learning to ski on Mt. Teine in Sapporo for Christmas was amazing.

You are too kind, and thank you for the recommendations! I appreciate some of Tim’s philosophical stances on business and life, especially the incorporation of Stoicism (which I believe they’ve mentioned a few times here on Lifehacker). I will be adding Sam Harris and The Atlantic to my rotation, but perhaps this will…

Agreed. I thought there would be some graduation from 500-word blurbs to extensive examinations of lifestyle choices across cultures and disciplines. I considered starting a blog to that end, examining different media and philosophy, but unlike these guys, that’s not my day job ha. Any recommendations? Tim Ferriss…

Lifehacker should do an article like that: tools for mobilizing your community around a cause. That would be interesting.
