  • I just ordered from Jericho a few months ago to try out. I got 2 bamboo shirts, one ring spun, and a bamboo hoody.

    The bamboo shirts and hoody are my new favorites. Super soft and nice fit. So far they’ve been holding up well in the wash, and I would recommend.

    The ring spun I’m less thrilled on, it hasn’t held its shape as well and it’s nothing special. Would definitely recommend their bamboo stuff though. If you sign up for their mailing list they seem to have regular sales.

    https://www.houseofblanks.com/ is another option, but they’re all heavyweight and I’m not a fan of that.




  • Some instances operate on an allowlist rather than just blindly being open, but honestly the number of problem instances is much lower than you might expect. Most are just wide open. Spinning up an instance will cost you some time and a domain, so it’s not exactly a zero cost effort.

    Honestly I have no idea what “chan” has to do with this, I only know it as the japanese honorific. Edit: Oh, chan like 4chan? That one didn’t occur to me.







  • For pc, very. I spent hours downloading rips of games off a BBS. One of the few games I bought was duke nukem 3d and that’s just because I wanted the build level editor that I couldn’t find a download of.

    For consoles, less so. I had a pirated “100 in 1” nes cart of from China but all the games were crap. Cartridge copying wasn’t a thing.

    I vaguely remember a n64 device that could load cartridge images off a zip drive or something. Nobody had one though.

    Piracy became bigger again when the ps1 mod chip came out and we had brand new cd burners. Dreamcast too.
