Nice gift choice there, AI.

This person apparently has a Gran Turismo collection, which I don't understand why someone would go consoom mode for a racing game, but it goes to show that someone out there will consoom for a franchise, no matter how big or small it is:

I was curious and ran a search for 'glass dildos shaped like swords' and got what I deserved.

lol of course I had to know too, so I looked it up on duckduckgo, and found that Etsy sells dildos, and saw some Halloween themed dildos.

Womens sex toys have gotten fucking wild. This one is a cross made from the body of christ. This is actually kinda fun.

Some of these are jokes, like this vulvasaur and I dont know who is buying shit like this from etsy when theyre actually advertised as being usable, its kinda funny to look through all this shit.

If you're playing through an emulator, many PS1 games actually look really good upscaled.

Yeah the only parts that look bad are the compressed pre-rendered video for obvious reasons. With the upscaler and smoothing I'd say a lot of them look pretty damn good.

For me it depends. A pencil is a pencil. But if I'm getting a power tool, I want to know I grabbed a trusty Milwaukee and not some Chinese knockoff with a red and black color scheme. Bur I will agree that EVERYTHING having a logo is annoying

Can't speak for the US but i know you can't trust quality german brands anymore because they sold their asses to the chinks long ago. Be it high quality audio equipment, kitchenware or power tools, a lot of it gets produced in China now, under license but with the same knock-off quality chinks are known for. Those german manufacturers still produce the same high quality goods for the domestic market but if you buy via Amazon for instance you'll most likely end up with an inferior product. Which is, of course, priced the same as the genuine product.

It depends on what it is. Honestly don't get much from Germany or German companies tbh. But i get your point. Tool makers have long outsourced to China, and are only now crawling back. Even then, depends on the company and if they give a shit about QC and keeping a eye on the chinks.

The Chinese are aggressive in buying out foreign companies, too. If the company is too small to be incorporated, they find the owner and just throw money at him until he suffocates under the pile.

If it's not the Chinese it's someone else. I remember AKG making very good audio headphones back when they were just an Austrian company. Now they are a subsidiary of Samsung and they seem to be more interested in putting the AKG name on things than actually continuing their legacy of good audio equipment.

to be fair, Samsung still works with Chinese factories
In fact many tech companies do, the biggest differences in quality stem from how well vetted the factory is and just how much of the workload they take on

Samsung and Apple use some of the same Chinese factories for their parts, but their products vary so much in style and quality because they're still designed by their respective company
