It’s probably obnoxious in real life but I really wanna do the ZZ Top ringtone from Bad Monkey

Worst thing about someone watching a reel out loud is you hear the same 15 second sound bite 30 times while they’re reading the comments.

I was raised in peak cereal advertising. I can spout off like 10 based on mascots alone.

I’ve watched all of the Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares series and it’s full of these, except it’s usually fuckin’ instead of absolute.

My favorite is when after having lunch he went back to the kitchen to find they were just microwaving everything. The exchange went something like this:

“Did I have anything for lunch that wasn’t microwaved?”

“your salad”

“Of course you don’t microwave a salad you fuckin’ donut”

Hell yea. Our unit test coverage went way up because you can blow through test creation in second. I had a large complicated migration from one data set to another with specific mutations based on weird rules and GPT got me 80% of the way there and with a little nudging basically got it perfect. Code that would’ve taken a few hours took about 6 prompts. If I’m curious about a new library I can get a working example right away to see how everything fits together. When these articles say there’s no benefit I feel people aren’t using these tools or don’t know how to use them effectively.

Parking tickets too here. Though they don’t call it a discount, it’s basically the price and if you wait too long the price goes up.

JSRF can be emulated now with Xemu. Looks amazing in 4k. Not sure about deck performance though.

I love this. I feel like the internet used to be full of these crazy little art projects.

I have little faith in this. Neversoft doesn’t even exist anymore, they were merged into Infinity Ward to be just another COD grunt. Vicarious Visions who made the wonderful THPS 1+2 also don’t exist anymore and the team was merged into Blizzard to work on Diablo (maybe that’s why last season was a banger). On the plus side of all these closures, Robomodo who made all the worst Tony Hawk stuff (Ride, Shred, THPS HD, THPS 5) is shut down completely so at the very least they won’t get the project.

It’s confusing, the gameplay looks smooth enough, little inconstant but not unplayable. The cut scenes look like they’re 7 frames a second.

As I get older I’ve grown to just appreciate comfort over precision. I don’t play competitive multiplayer, in fact the only multiplayer I play is COD zombies with some buddies once a week. And we all suck anyways so we’re just having a laugh. I’d much rather just lean back in my chair with a controller.

I’ve got one on the way Best Buy screwed up the pre-order and didn’t get enough stock in so I’m left waiting. But yea seems like by all accounts it’s roughly the size of a regular phone plus you get a small tablet when you want.

Yea Audible too. I can’t remember the name of the tool but you can connect to your account and it pulls all your purchases locally DRM free. It was handy for setting up Audiobookshelf

Yea it’s a totally fine Friday night watch. Just watching Brad and George riff on each other for 90 minutes is worth it.

So what you’re saying is we need to go back and hunt down Richard BMW

Exactly. I wish these types of posts would change “music these days” to “pop these days” because that’s what they’re talking about.

It’s debatable when pop actually began but pop as we know it really codified in the 80s with dawn of MTV and acts like Madonna and Michael Jackson. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, etc were popular but I wouldn’t classify any of this as Pop. Pop has always been pretty people because it was by its nature tied to a visual medium.

People need to stop using Pop as a stand in for all music. We have more access to music than ever before and a lot of the music I listen to regularly, I have no idea what they look like.

It’s mostly for aroma since it’s just a rinse but really adds a lot of depth

Just don’t connect it to the internet and it’s a dumb display, simple as that

Yea I’ve got a 65" OLED with Dolby Vision. I’d have a hard time going back to anything else. But why even worry about smart features at all when an offline TV is effectively the same as a monitor anyway for less money and more entertainment specific features.

Definitely need that absinthe rinse though
