Reply to Do you own {item}? And do you like it? For each item in (1) Steam Deck (2) Firearm(s) (3) Laser printer (4) Heating pad (5) Stovetop kettle by twovests

1) Yes, and I appreciate that it exists as the most important thing to happen to Linux gaming in a long time... but I barely ever use mine at all except as a portable setup to take to FGC events. It's too big to fill the void left behind by the GBC/GBA/DS I grew up on. Can't put it in my pocket, and just doesn't feel super comfy.

Instead I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus two years ago and I've spent way too much time curled up in bed with that. One day someone's gonna release a SteamOS device in this size that runs all my favorite 2D indie games and I'll be all over that.

It's an entertaining comedy. The premise is unrealistic, but it doesn't have to be realistic to be funny.

Just smack anyone who calls it a documentary.

Reply to Spirited Away is fantastic! Takeaways from my first Ghibli movie by twovests

Don't worry about anyone being elitist over subs versus dubs. There's a lasting stigma because some older dubs really sucked, but these days dubs are almost always good. Voice acting is taken a lot more seriously as a profession, and they don't cut corners anymore when it comes to hiring good talent.

It's been a long time since I watched Spirited Away, it is old enough to come from that era when some dubs were bad, but this was a high budget film and they put a lot of love and care into bringing it to the west. I definitely loved it as a kid.
