i honestly really like how on twitch you'll find people who just have like, a single cartoon picture avatar that just lights up when they talk and goes dark when they don't, or has a two-frame lip-flap, because vtubers with much fancier rigs normalized the concept enough that people can just have ....

More of the tall Boa Hancock cosplayer:

It also showed up in The Dark Knight as a fun way to snag foreign citizens from foreign soil without having to deal with obstructions like "extradition treaties" or "due process"] I never really thought about it much, but it's kind of crazy how illegal everything in that movie w...

Got mine at a local Walgreens on Monday. I did see one lady who was informed that "her insurance doesn't cover the covid booster" and thus she had to pay $100. They then said she could "see if she could get it reimbursed." Just seemed like a notable thing, I had assumed most ins...

Also the fucking military uses Unity engine for some of its simulation work, which was probably a bad idea for both sides in the first place, but God only knows how this kind of licensing strategy is going to work out for them. They're probably exempt. I've had the feeling for a while that Riccitie...
