    They are not. Asia (this comprises most SE asian countries), China, Japan, and SK are each separate regions.
    Not quite as uniform as Europe, which is basically just one big region.

    This is correct, I use a US PS5 in Japan and there is no issue.

    I just have multiple PSN accounts for different regions. Even if you wanted to use the off-region PSN account outside that region you could, you would just have to do some workarounds to fund the digital wallet. Though there are plenty of sites that sell PSN codes that would work, I have used in the past and never been an issue.

    Yen too, even factoring in exchange rates it is about 850 USD in JPY. In terms of relative purchasing power, it is well over 1000 USD.

    We designed the damn thing and it is the most expensive here. I can’t imagine they will have all that many domestic sales.




  • A racist piece of shit who has made his infamy by hating Chinese people. Regularly protests outside predominantly Asian suburbs. Got his start around the HK riots.

    Mostly to get attention so people donate money to him, because he has no actual job. I am near convinced at this point that he is just rage-baiting for twitter engagement as his last source of income.


  • This can’t be real right? Streaming services are seriously broadcasting the debates? Isn’t Disney+ for children who probably don’t want to watch the debate?

    I mean…I guess I get it. USians treat their elections, especially the presidential election, like a team sport. Cheer for your team! Boo the other team! Only two options! Better buy your team’s jersey so they know who you support!

    It…depends probably.

    You can definitely build a competent gaming PC for less than a PS5, depending on the games you want to play. If you are playing like Factorio and Rimworld, you don’t need a 4090 or something like that.

    I think a PS5 is probably better value if you are just looking at raw tech specs for technically demanding games. Historically consoles (except sometimes Nintendo consoles) are sold at a loss because the platform holder makes money back on software. I have no idea if this is true for the Pro, though I imagine it is.

    But on the high-end, PCs are definitely more expensive. The PC I just built cost me several times more than a PS5 Pro would have. It is almost certainly technically more powerful than the Pro would be and I can do a lot more with it besides just play games.

    For me, makes no sense to replace my PS5 with a Pro. I don’t even care about the whole disc drive thing people are in arms about, I haven’t bought a physical game since the PS3 era. My PS5 has a drive that has never been used once. I just don’t really see the benefit of the upgrade when I have the base version and a PC already.

    Exactly what it sounds like. People describe it as pretty close to chicken (which makes sense) though I find it is closer to turtle, especially texturally. The tail meat is particularly close to chicken. If you have never tried it, it’s pretty good. So are the legs. It is quite lean though, so you may need to add some fat from another source.

    I have heard people used ground alligator mix in minced blends alongside a fattier meat for burgers sometimes, but I haven’t tried it myself.

    They’re less common but they definitely are depending on availability. I have alligator steaks in my freezer right now even. Bears (true these are omnivores, but they definitely have periods of more carnivorous activity as in the video) are pretty common in my country, even during the seasons where they are primarily on a carnivorous diet.

    The safety point is reasonable as that is true, though can be easily offset these days. The deliciousness I would disagree with, because I have had some delicious predators before (see alligator steaks). They seem to acknowledge as much as this. Though I will say, I have never had any type of feline that I particularly enjoyed the taste of.

    I think their last point about efficiency is maybe the most likely as to why they weren’t historically consumed, and that has just lasted for cultural reasons.
