Tropical Fish Auction

I'm assuming most people haven't been to a tropical fish auction. Basically, it's organized by an aquarium society as a fundraiser. Fish hobbyists and enthusiasts who breed fish in their home aquariums can bring their "babies" (or any other fish they no longer wish to keep) to the auction. Other fish fans bid on the auctions. The money collected is split between the host society and the people who brought the items to sell.

In addition to fish, there are a ton of "dry goods" including food, filters, books, and other supplies. For anyone interested in the hobby, finding a local auction is definitely worth your time. I came home from one today and scored lots of goodies including 5 new Angel Fish, plus lots of food and water conditioner. My pets always seem to eat better then I do, and the fish are now set for at least several months.

The benefits to buying fish at auction rather then at a store is that in general, the hobbyists breeding the fish take more care and pride in the health and wellness of the fish then most pet stores would. Most of these people are breeding more for the hobby aspect then for the money. Anyone doing out this out their homes is most likely operating at a loss, so its more about the challenge and fund of breeding then it is about the value of the fish at sale.

Another reason the auctions are fun is because there are a lot of fish you don't normally see at a store. Some are rare, some are tougher to maintain, and some just aren't profitable for the store to carry.

In addition, most of the time at an auction, you can get fish and dry goods for much cheaper then what you'd spend at a store.

I know it might sound a bit nutty to spend a Spring afternoon at a fish auction, but if you enjoy this hobby, it might be worth your time to check one out.

Because of various cultural, social, and religious reasons, a video game, already released in some places and that looks completely fine in one territory might be disregarded as unacceptable somewhere else. This is one of the reasons why video game localization - contrary to mere translation- is necessary for computer and consoles games.

However one seemingly simple yet relatively deep and complicated question has always bothered me: when does the "localization" of content stop being "localization" and turn into full-on "censorship"? Aren't these changes killing some of the game's fun?

As a recent example, Yakuza 3 on PS3 shows well how thin the frontier between censorship and localization can be. A lot of gamers complained because some scenes and important elements of the games where changed when the game made it to US.

This gets me wondering: how much of the cut content was actually "inappropriate for American audiences" as in "cultural differences would prevent full understanding and therefore only serve to confuse the player and impede their progress", as opposed to "Americans are generally far more religious and uptight than Japanese people, so we can't show them this kind of nudity and/or violence"? It was certainly a disappointment for gamers who expected to have the same game as the Japanese one after reading reviews and news in video game magazines or forums.

Most of gamers are reasonable adults who just want to enjoy the game as it is, instead of playing an edited, censored version of it. So please, developers, think of gamers first when you are localizing your games.

Video game translation is an important process to bring games to new people, and shouldn't be taken that lightly.

I'm 50 years of age with ED. I as of late attempted Viagra 50 mg interestingly. It is astonishing the way that well it works for me. My erections are like they were the point at which I was a lot more youthful. It empowers us to have sex once more. The bizarre part is it doesn't cause and erection all alone. You must be excited. The erection disappears subsequent to discharging. The fact that I stood by so lengthy makes me simply distraught. The main secondary effect I saw is a dull migraine. Not terrible, and definitely justified."buy Generic Viagra online https://unclerx.com/
