And there we go.

Our wonderful "Somalian" friend got indited on the obstruction of business charge ("威力業務妨害罪"). The maximum sentence on conviction is 3 years or less, and/or a fine of 500k JPY or less. The trespassing charge was dismissed (不起訴処分) as "not serious, victim forgave them, rekt by public opinion, etc" (起訴猶予).

The pre-trial detainment period is a max of 2 months (with 1 months extensions as an option), and bail is possible but extremely unlikely.

I was expecting additional charges to force a visa overstay, but the oft quoted statistic about Japan's conviction rate is fully applicable now.

🦇🎃 Spooky Time 🎃🦇 - 4882417071.jpg

fascinating (and gorgeous!) chart showing the evolution of recorded-music revenue over the last 50 years

the first thing that jumps out at me is how much smaller the overall pie is post-streaming. the streaming services and major labels have successfully managed a) to dramatically devalue recorded music and b) to put a much larger percentage of it directly into their own pockets. it's one of the single biggest upward transfers of wealth in history — from artists to billionaire corporations

RAIDbros why are you like this

Remember what they took from you

Reminder that this is a thing:

https://www.retro-exo.com/exodos.html

This pack includes 7,200 DOS games. The focus is on games that were either released in English or are fairly easy to play without a knowledge of the native language. This is not every DOS game ever made, however it is a very high percentage of all commercial releases. There are thousands of freeware, homebrew, and shareware games that will continue to be added in future packs.

The games have already been configured to run in DOSBox. Games which are supported by ScummVM will give you the option at launch as to which emulator you would like to use.

Version 5 adds:

• Download on Demand: A 'lite' version of the project that just contains metadata. Games are downloaded the first time you try to run them.
• IPX\Serial Newtworking: Easy host and join multiplayer games. Scripts auto start\open your virtual ports and describe exactly what steps each game requires to lay in multiplayer. Play over 300 games with your friends!
• eXoDOS Updater: Download and auto-apply updates to your eXoDOS collection without having to wait until the next release.
• Magazine Preservation: Browse print & digital magazines from the DOS era
• Filter by Installed Games: A custom plugin that dynamically updates a playlist in LaunchBox each time a game gets installed or uninstalled
• Massive Manual Upgrades: Hundreds of missing manuals have been added or improved and we've added countless missing extra files.
• Gold Box Companion Support: D&D Goldbox games can now be launched with the GB Companion app, which features automapping and other great tools.
• New Folder Structure: All project files now reside under an "eXo" folder, with individual folders for each project under that. This will allow Win3eXo, and other future projects, to easy plug in with eXoDOS.
• Modified Launch & Install Files: Files are no longer individually coded to launch a specific game. They now figure out what game will be launched to seeing what folder they were run from. While this doesn't directly affect users much, it makes maintaining the collection much easier.
• Alternate Names: Games now have regional names added to their LaunchBox entry. This allows you to search whatever name you are familiar with, and still find it listed in the database. eg: Searching Broken Sword will now bring up Circle of Blood.
• Bug Squash-a-rama!: A new GitHub now tracks all bugs, which has increased productivity on that front.
• Over 200 new games
• New Shaders: Enjoy shaders which emulate the look and feel of an original monitor with curvature and scanlines.
