Not based on ethical or humanitarian grounds, but rather because of a formal error. We're talking about a country in which the newspapers have released lists of presumably homosexual citizens so others could hunt them down, with the support of leading politicians. There is no "Eh, it was overturned, can't be so bad".

Then, there's Goofy. Disney very clearly points out that "Goofy is a dog," but he is a personification of a dog. According to Disney, "Goofy was created as a human character, as opposed to Pluto, who was a pet, so he walked upright and had a speaking voice." This is why Goofy's full name is sometimes given as "Goofus…

Japanese food artists get it. You better watch and learn, Michael Bay.

"Bottlenecked" will still be significantly faster than a standard HDD, but SSDs can get excruciatingly slow without TRIM.

From what I've read, the PS4 OS does not support the TRIM command, which means that once the SSD has been fully written once, performance will go down significantly. A lot of people already seeM to have full HDDs, and smaller SSDs will fill up even faster. So I'd maybe wait with an SSD until Sony puts TRIM into…

All those adventures! Next to LucasArts, Sierra was pretty much my most played publisher in the early 90s. But I somehow doubt they still have the rights for most of the franchises?

All of those pictures having (partially expensive) tech close to the water are making me very nervous. You really, really shouldn't do that...

Very much reminded me of this

This might be silly, but that is one of the reasons why I swear by Häagen Dazs. I once told a friend of mine who said that the much cheaper bulk ice cream would be just as good to take a tablespoon of Häagen Dazs and one of his favorite ice cream and leave them out to melt. His ice cream pretty much kept shape, just…

If you need something more uplifting to review, you have to take a look at Barakamon. It's easily my Anime highlight of the season. :)

didn't know Daisuki yet, gotta give it a try...

We had the rumor in Germany that, in Secret of Mana, you could find a Ruby Armet in the game, which would cause Popoi (the Sprite) to survive at the end (yes, Square killed beloved characters even before Aerith). We tried any trick in the book...

This is giving me the creeps... Good job.

That picture with the cat staring at the laptop screen, as well as one with the cat longing for the parfait (?) just scream for captions. xD

Cheers. I was aware of the general cultural context, but I'm not exactly well versed in pornography laws. Quite literally the only thing I knew was about the display of pubic hair, and even that piece of information is about 14 years old by now. But that illuminates it a little.

Ah ok - never seen those reported, though. That's worth another "Mhm." ;)

So, let me get this straight. A festival, during which giant erect penises are carried through a town for fun, giggles and over-compensation is totally fine. But an art project showing the female counterpart to a comparatively limited number of people causes an arrest?

Well, in that case they've got me hook, line and sinker. If it brings us ANY closer to a FFVII remake, I will buy it. Square should just kickstart a FF7 remake to see if people really want it...

It is pretty much what you think it is, or at least I learned it that way. Perfume was invented to overshadow the putrid smell that would linger in castles (and pretty much everywhere else) in the times before plumbing and proper toilets were invented. They were not meant to give people that little something, they…

When I was a kid, we had one of those small 80L aquariums. And I remember that keeping that clean was a bloody mess in itself. How the hell are those aquariums kept clean? o.o

I like to see the glass half full. Sometimes. xD
