  • Nothing too unexpected, it is Russian media and yeah it often has a Russian bias. I don’t think it is any better or worse about that than any other news channel. Sometimes they have had good coverage about things, and sometimes they don’t.

    Is it technically propaganda? Sure, just as much as any other news sources are. Propaganda isn’t necessarily untrue. I think trying to filter news to some pure unbiased ideal is an exercise in futility. But that isn’t at all what western forces are trying to do with RT. They just don’t want contrary viewpoints.







  • 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.







  • 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.
