I’m pretty sure that at the time that photo was taken he was in the middle of running for political office and hiding the fact his money came from drug trafficking. I assume that look you described was exactly what he was going for.

Nice work! I tried this out a few months ago (maybe longer?) and it was still a bit too rough around the edges but I liked the concept. I’ll download it again today and give the new update a spin!

Mostly just seems genuinely positive haha

And don’t forget the 20oz bottles too!

Hold on, that’s not fair, we also use it to measure how much Coca Cola is in the bottle…hmm never mind that’s not helping… let me start over…we also use it for drugs! Wait, shit…

Funny thing is most of them are good reviews not bad lol

It’s funny reading these mundane “the service was great, good steak” kind of review and knowing it’s written by a billionaire drug kingpin 😂

I watch a variety of tech and programming related YouTube channels and I’ve never once cared what the presenter looks like. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Your personality is way more important and that will matter the same whether you’re showing your real face or a VTuber avatar… arguably it’s even more important for a VTuber since you have to convey that personality without your normal facial movements and body language.

So I’m not saying you shouldn’t do the VTube thing if you want to do it, but if the main reason is that you’re worried about being out of shape I can tell you 100% it doesn’t matter. The content will speak for itself if it’s good.

Unironically one of my favorite movies

Plus I imagine the Streisand effect from the DMCA takedown will get them even more

Yeah that makes sense, that’s right about when they started teaching English in schools from grade school on. That’s why everyone under 40 tends to speak great English but over 40 and it’s hit or miss.

Makes sense considering that statistically 50% of people are of below average intelligence…

Yeah in my experience pretty much everyone under the age of around 40 in any major city speaks English there. Cities like Berlin sometimes it seems like half the people there don’t even speak German haha

 

Really cool development in the Virtual Boy emulation scene as of a couple days ago!

For years and years I've wanted a Virtual Boy emulator on the 3DS since it's the perfect system to emulate the stereoscopic 3D effect, but one never came out. There was one called r3Ddragon that was partially developed years ago but it never really worked.

Apparently over the past few months or so, a new developer forked that project and completed it! It's called Red Viper and plays all official Virtual Boy games at full speed on any 3DS with full stereoscopic 3D support! There have been some crashes reported by users now that it's available for testing, but I tried it out yesterday to play the Virtual Boy Wario Land game and it worked great!

The graphics are super crisp on my New 3DS XL screen and the stereoscopic 3D effect is perfect! You can even change the default red color to any color you want and it has button mapping support to use the ABXY buttons as the second DPad when needed for some games (otherwise it's on the touch screen or vice versa).

It should work on a 2DS but the games are very difficult to play without the stereoscopic effect and it kind of defeats the point, so I highly recommend using a 3DS. I happen to have a New 3DS but apparently it also plays full speed on a regular 3DS, so really any model is fine except the 2DS. Also the 3DS depth slider "works" but only as a toggle, due to how the games are programmed the depth is always at maximum or completely off (EDIT: As of version 0.9.1 the depth slider is now fully functional!). But honestly it looks great!

I had completely given up hope that this would ever come out, but here we are!
