Just imagine
  • Like the way some people see cyberpunk, it's not so much that they forgot is that they missed the point completely. They see an author warning about a dystopia and they just want the shining neon lights. Or as Confucius put it "when a wise man points at the moon the fool examines the finger."

  • Mods for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake receive backlash in Japan, highlighting a large cultural gap in how mods are viewed
  • The article explains it well. At least some of them see it as defacing a work of art, which I think it would be fair if games were unique pieces and not mass produced - it would piss me off if someone drew a mustache on the Mona Lisa in the Louvre but if you want to do it on your mass printed Mona Lisa copy, be my guest.

  • Shock in Romania as hard-right Nato critic Calin Georgescu takes lead in presidential election
    1. It's the first round, unlike the US there's a second round if no one gets 50% of the popular vote. Georgescu got 22.7%. The expectation is that Ciolacu will easily win the 2nd round.

    2. Romania is a semi-presidential republic, with a mostly cerimonial president, and as such the president doesn't have the power to rule by decree like in the US. So even if won it would be bad, but mostly symbolic.

  • Your partner is accused of corruption, would you ever be able to see them the same way again?
  • That's the bar of proof for a court, because a court can suspend some of your human rights if you are proven guilty (like freedom of movement by sending you to prison, or even take your life in some countries). It's not a reasonable standard for day to day interactions or personal relationships.
