You can now paste images into a post. The preview will still show the image as a base64 string in the editor but the post preview and final will show the image. I am working on fixing the inline editor for that next.
Beanjo: Cybil Bennett is NOT the archetypal prophet of Silent Hill 1's story! Dahlia Gillespie is! She's the one who instructs Harry where to go, and informs him of what's happening in the town. Just like a prophet, her words are vague and foreboding. "Beware the Ides of March" and all that.
The name Cybil means prophet, sure, but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. This video is kind of interesting:
But it bugged me batshit to hear the narrator say that Cybil Bennett means Blessed Prophet. Okay but how is she "blessed" exactly? She's a supporting character who's been swept up in the same fan-splattered shit-storm as Harry. She's no more a blessed prophet than he is.
I mean sure, she gives him a gun and tells him to be careful how he uses it. But in contrast to Dahlia, that's simple foreshadowing. Chekhov's gun comes into play in the 3rd act, but that doesn't make Chekhov's gun a prophet!
Post your dumb rants that nobody cares about and come out of nowhere.

Like, this week. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, it's not clear, but sometime in the next few days there will be a new Playstation web store, and you won't be able to buy PS3, PSP, or PS Vita games anywhere other than on a PS3 or PS Vita anymore. And with how the PSV store is missing some games that work with a Vita and the PS3 store is a barely usable nightmare of crashes and awful design, this is a really, really bad thing. But why would Sony care? Those systems are old, anyone not in their new system ecosystem isn't worth caring about, and nor is preservation obviously. As PS head Jim Ryan said once, who'd want to play old games like those [I think he was referring to PS1 Gran Turismo] these days, those graphics are bad!
Oh, and the wishlist feature on the store will also be wiped and go away. It's not clear if the new store will have a wishlist or not, but the old ones will be gone with this update. Thanks.
Just watch that segment. It's uncomfortable and embarrassing and shockingly confrontational and- and we need that. We need it here in the US. We need reporters who straight up cut someone off if they spread already debunked misinformation in an interview. We need reporters calling it like it is- backed by well sourced citations. We need a zero tolerance policy on typical politic speak so a candidate can't even get a word out unless they are speaking in direct terms and concretely about their actual policies. No room for fluff. Fluff got us here. Shave it off.
