Yeah it seems to be a recent issue that happens to Google Chrome users who decided to add Hitmanforum to their devices. Funny how mine didn’t have such issue until I opened it once @DrMekar asked about the same issue a week ago. But that’s probably just because I barely used it and mainly use my laptop to log on here. Then just like Mekar and you mentioned, reinstalling it seems to solve the issue.
I would think this is more of a Chrome issue, rather than the hitmanforum app itself.
Aw damn! I don’t think mine has reached the final stage yet. I can still make out the outline of a square…
Guess I’ve got to wait a bit longer before I can get Legendary HMF Icon rarity…
“The quantum foam of the universe” is such a weirdly fascinating sentence.
It is an actual scientific theory in the field of quantum physics dating back to the Fifties. It posits that the quantum underpinnings of the universe are not constants but undergo fluctuations in spacetime.
Some people really need to learn some better subtlety. Or maybe it’s my fault for not getting into it early enough.
Probable spoilers for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime.
I’ve been seeing a lot of meme images and youtube thumbnails about the new anime series (even though I haven’t engaged with any of that content), and a lot of them involve *A picture of the Robot lady from the show, *A crying person/A crying manly man.
So… she probably dies by the end?
I could be wrong but it still kinda sucks I might go into the show with expectations like that, I feel it might ruin some of my enjoyment of it if I know what’s coming.
Speaking of fascinating sentences, here’s one that didn’t exist until George Carlin said it on stage in the early nineties:
“As soon as I put this hot poker in my ass, I’m going to chop my dick off!”
As he pointed out, the reason it didn’t exist before was because nobody had ever said it before; at that moment, he became the first person in the history of our species to put those exact words together in that particular order. And that concept fascinates me. I continue to try to come up with a unique, original sentence both funny and profound… alas, to this day, I continue to fail.
Seeing Akira for the first time tonight. 4K restoration.
My local theater is PACKED. Never seen them this busy since before covid. Barely any open seats with social distancing.
They’re gonna make really good business tonight for this limited weekend run.
Don’t forget to keep an eye out for @Swangtheugly’s profile pic. (At least the original version.) As I recall, it’s fairly early in the movie.
Also, the movie itself is awesome. You’re in for a treat. 
I wasn’t looking for it, but when it showed up I was very surprised. That’s where it’s from!! Wooo
Is it of the original (well, dubbed, I assume)?
Or the remaster they did in 2001 where they reworked a few parts of the script?
If you don’t know - then don’t worry about answering. Maybe a little googling is in order.
This is probably useless info, but… I watched/rented it on VHS in the late 90’s. One scene that sticks out in my mind is when Tetsuo had made the giant sphere thing holding Akira’s body come up out of the ground. There were these (I think) 2 gigantic tubes that came off the thing and these white clouds of steam were billowing out. They seemed to move in slow motion - probably because they were so big.
Anyway, I believe this scene is missing from the 2001 remaster (which I bought and still have).
Edit: My memory might be rusty on the details of that scene… But I’m pretty sure that’s what was going on.
I didn’t know there were different versions.
We watched it as japanese audio with english subtitles, so I think it should be the uncut original. The scene where the huge sphere gets lifted out of the ground was definitely there.
Yer seeing a cornerstone of animation history my boy, revel and awe at the spectacular quality & masterful craftmanship on display in this spectacular sci-fi flick
akira is top-to-bottom amazing. the comic is somehow even better.
@TheChicken you should give the og ghost in the shell anime a shot too; it’s a little dry in places but more than deserves the adoration it gets.
Only comic that rivals akira’s level of detail is berserk.
… i uh… i’ve not read it 
Me who made it into a profile pic cause I thought the imagery was cool.
Have a date on Tuesday, going to go see Pearl. Will post an update after said date.
By God, Quora is such an unbearable site to browse that I am thankful its userbase hasn’t spread itself out to other social media sites. I don’t when or why I created an account there, but I finally had the willpower to delete it. How their users ask the most cocksure questions and bait users to write scathing replies is a question I will never discover.
“I want to resign at a job I work at. But instead of submitting a resignation letter I stalked my boss and murdered his wife and now I’ve been ordered a restraining order against them. Where did I go wrong?”
“My son comes home from school with bruises and a swollen eye. Clearly he should be bullied more so how do I make him even more miserable?”
“As a somebody, is it bad if I do bad thing because bad thing is viewed as bad thing so now I’m a bad person?”
“Jeez I know this is bait but I’m gonna tell you there is everything wrong with you without elaborating why. Blocked. Reported. L take.”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
