Tbh the way they’ve arranged the actual execution doesn’t sound too bad at all. Quick and painless. The worst part (or best, depending on who you ask) of the capital punishment in Japan is the fact the they never tell the prisoners the date of the execution, so they spend years, even decades in prison waiting for their final day until on the day itself they get know it’s their last one. That’s way more brutal than the hanging imho.
I think the city feels/looks more natural in the original. In Catalyst the city looks like it was build FOR the runners, like it’s a playground not a real city.
Great recommendations. I’d add Planet Boelex, also ambient electronic artist. Most of his albums are available for free in bandcamp (Suunta and Misplaced Ep are excellent).
What on earth are you on about?
Even without a single “nepo baby writer”, many others wouldn’t get a chance for whatever reasons. Writing in general is such a competetive field that you’d be a fool to not use your connections and every possible chance in order to support yourself as a writer. And video game writers might even be first to lose their jobs to AI in the near future, who knows.
As flawed as the original is, it’s one of my all time favourites. To me there’s a perfect harmony between gameplay, graphics (art direction), music and atmosphere. The soundtrack is easily one of the best game OSTs of all time. The story isn’t deep but the characters are interesting and the world has so much potential. On the other hand I love its “cult” status, on the other there was a lot of lost potential for a truly exceptional game franchise.
Catalyst is… not terrible. For me it’s just average and it never reaches that real Mirror’s Edge atmosphere of the original. It’s even worse today because it never got an update for PS4 Pro or PS5, so it looks kinda awful tbh, and I’m usually not too picky with graphics and fps stuff. Finished it once back then and tried replaying it a couple of years ago but dropped after a few hours.
As a former Kagi user (quit all my US company subscriptions recently in order to support EU) I’ve now used Startpage for a month and it has been great so far.
That “just Pocahontas” argument is kind of tiring because retelling a story doesn’t automatically make it bad. It’s like saying “Lion King, meh, literally just Hamlet”.
The first one isn’t bad at all. Second one’s meh af snd the last is one of the worst fantasy films ever made.
Sure, but it’s their livelihood so I bet comedians like Burr are “taking it up a notch”, especially on TV/interviews etc. Think about Eric Andre for example. He’s probably nothing like his character irl.
Depends where I’m staying. In no-tipping countries i wouldn’t tip at all, but if it’s common/expected, I’d leave some change on the bedside table in the morning when leaving the hotel/checking out.
He’s doing a character (like most celebrities).

Out of those I mentioned, Newpipe was actually my favourite (LibreTube felt too beta, only used it for a week at most) and I’ve used it for years. Vanced was great too. But there’s always something, like what happened to Vanced for example. I don’t know, I felt like I was spending way too much time installing third party apps, trying to get them to work properly after Google’s endless shenanigans. Paying them is more convenient / less time consuming.
You’re totally right, I wasn’t paying attention to the sub, my bad.
