"Dude, look at you. You're dressed like a four year old girl and you're about to do a beauty pageant. People are gonna' think you're a pedophile!"

Goes back to Jekyll Island and a meeting of a lot of powerful bankers ... created the entire Federal Reserve banking system and fractional reserve lending between banks we have now. TruthStream Media did like a 10 part documentary on it .. but you can also just watch some of the older (and shorter) James Corbet segments about it .. or ask a Ron Pauler .. they'll go on about it forever

also a gun store got raided by the IRS and they took firearm purchase records.

Random find today: an abandoned playstation 4 on the side of the road, no cables/controllers

It was not booting properly, but I did a factory reset and now I got a functional ps4 for free 🐁

@xianc78 Thank you for articulating this. The art style of SMBW really bothers me.

@beardalaxy @KoopaTV @xianc78 To me, it looks like the same kind of thing - taking proportions intended for a completely different artstyle and lazily applying them to a new artstyle, without any concern for how much it clashes. It's "faithful" in the wrong ways, rather than attempting to find a way to make it look good with a different style, or retaining the old style, it creates an ugly half-assed mix of new and old. There are certain limitations older hardware, and certain artstyles, impose. These limitations impact game design, art design, etc; the proportions of the artstyle are an example of these sorts of limitations. The proportions work with their intended artstyle because they are part of it - a product of it. Taking those exact proportions and using them for a completely different artstyle just looks ugly and lazy. They're mindlessly copying the limitations without understanding why they were there to begin with or what purpose they served - it's just mindlessly tracing the work without understanding why it works.

BDSP were endlessly mocked for being "faithful" remakes to the point of serving 0 purpose, because they're just straight up worse than the game they're trying to remake; they're just a much, much buggier DP with an atrocious artstyle, and without any of the improvements people loved about Platinum.
