main thing is turn the HDR on

nothing else really matters much

method for doing that is less than obvious because LG hates their customers:

Enter Settings (long press the button with the gear icon on the lower right of the remote).
Click General (the button with the gear and wrench).
Scroll down to the bottom and click HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color.
Switch the port or ports youre using for HDR input to On.

mass marketing the re-release of a beloved cult classic experience is always going to do this, because people who owned it before are likely insufficient as a target audience

mana series games--esp the first (final fantasy adventure) are fundamentally tragic so this sort of thing is really out of place

but the remake of the first game (sword of mana) even changed the tragic elements

as a reminder, in the first game you spend a good 80% of the game trying to save the girl, who your character is subtly implied to be in love with, only for her to give up her life to become the tree of mana at the very end, with the final words being that your character is the last knight for the tree now.

near the end of secret of mana, the tree is destroyed.

Democrats did waste their 08-10 majority. Obama was way too concerned with being bipartisan and working with a party that had no interest in working with him ever.

Man, think of all the time that bill spent in committees and review compared to GOP efforts.

Like, if they were gonna pass a limpdick bill, the least they could have done is pass it quickly.


they were trying really hard to pass a legit bill by following the rules

that failed

then they tried to pass a limpdick bill by following the rules

THAT failed

then they decided to use budgetary reconciliation ('breaking the rules') but kept their limpdick bill, because presumably they figured that would have better optics--somehow--than a good bill

Hes not wrong. All they worried about was passing Obamas healthcare tax...er, plan.


you're correct--that was where they put all their political capital. at the time, though, the intent was to pass a public option. conservative democrats torpedoed it, and in passing with budgetary reconciliation, for some insane reason, harry reid didn't just switch back to the house bill that had a public option.

dems in 2009-2010 demonstrated a severe lack of political will/organization. had they the cojones to act as the GOP did last year, we'd have an untouchable public health service right now.

hs bullying is rarely some older bigger kid beating the tar out of some younger weaker kid

and more an entire social group choosing to cut contact with one individual member of their group for some perceived minor slight

mostly hs is too big for 'real' bullying as boys know it to happen

that said i was a sprinter and my freshman and soph year a guy two years older and much bigger repeatedly would chase me down and grab my genitals, then call me a homo.

The AR-15 is a long gun. And if you wanted to make an AR-15 the exception for requiring a psych evaluation, there's really no point. Particularly in a situation where someone would be shooting unarmed targets until the police arrive, an AR-15 is no more or less deadly than a lot of other rifles. If somehow, AR-15s magically become extremely difficult to obtain, then shooters would just use something else like a mini 14.

i agree

the key isnt gun bans, it's legal action to keep ANY gun out of the hands of the kinds of people who would do things like this.
