Man, OK. This makes me feel a little better haha

Say what you will about Apple, I gave them a couple hundred bucks almost fourteen years ago and I can just use their video editing suite as much as I want and they give me every updates on the reg.

I missed this game when it first came out, but my child heard a lot about it at school so we got it for him and I saw it was co-op so I was like, “cool, a game we could play together.” Holy shit do I not understand this game at all. I beat all of base Elden Ring solo, no on-line help, but I die within the first ten minutes of being in this game. I’m guessing it’s just something you have to be properly wired for or something and I am decidedly not.

The closest Culver’s to me is over 250 miles away and it makes me so sad. Luckily, I get to the midwest once a year or so and get to partake.

Certainly don’t want to diminish anyone that is proud of benching two plates and isn’t acing like a jackass about it. Reaching your personal goals is a very positive part of lifting. But acting like people choose to be “weak” and that makes them “lesser” when He’s probably not even in the top lifters in an average commercial gym anywhere in the country is pretty pathetic.

My man talking like he’s some sort of He-man when his bench PR is, as of two days ago according to his twitter, a whole two plates.

I’ve had this song in my head all day despite not having heard it in forever. Wild to see it posted on here now. Great track.

Yes.

This whole soundtrack rules. That Filter + Crystal Method track is arguably my favorite from both those bands.

Basically. He’s your typical swing voter. Went for Trump in 2016. Was keenly watching the 2024 primaries from the Republican side (Vivek and Hayley booster), but once Trump had it stitched up, seemed to support Biden. If you go back to the 2020 Democratic primary he actually supported Bernie when it was down to Bernie and Joe. Just all over the map.

Overall, wouldn’t trade my home gym for much. But I do miss the community you get from going to a public gym. I met so many people I otherwise would never have met. Like a dance professor that had the same lifting schedule as me or the time USMNT player Ben Olsen brought some academy players in on a random day. I don’t miss feeling rushed on equipment, or the commute to and from the gym, or being lectured for “dropping” weights when I do Pendlay Rows, but I do miss the community.

Roth always elevates the podcast when he’s on. And Felix actually seemed engaged for this one, talking a lot of their favorite 2016 sickos in the Trump orbit.

I played last year after a pretty big gap (not 15 years, but close) and honestly it does not hit the same at all. Was thankful, it was pretty easy to put down compared to Vanilla and Burning Crusade. Just seems so streamlined now, I feel like I’m on a conveyor belt of various line fills up.

It was. In that they won the “restaurant wars” and did actually become classy. Our joke was that everything’s gone to such drek that a Taco Bell from today would be a high class experience

My Shadworun campaigns implement a lot of this type of stuff. Like, for example, Taco Bell exists at our table, but instead of being considered low end fast food, it’s high end fine dining, as they’ve continued to use the same ingredients since the early 2000s while everyone has been forced into a soy-based diet.

For some flavor text, I re-wrote a puff profile of Richard Spencer from like 2016 with our in game equivalent head of Humanis Policlub and I honestly didn’t need to edit much for it to fit.

It’s a setting that works great for exactly this type of thing.

Really have liked Alice Longyu Gao since I heard of her through that track she had Oli Sykes on. Wish she leaned into that screamy, heavy stuff a little more, but most of what she does is enjoyable regardless.

I really enjoyed the game circa 2014 or so. The game. The player base has individuals that are as toxic as reputation gives. But the matches were actually fairly slow paced and movement creep hadn’t gotten incredible yet. Something very strategic about how the phases of the game went. The heroes were deep enough that you could become good with them on a level that impressed, but not so much so that you couldn’t rotate between good “counters” to opponent’s choices. I actually enjoyed how long the matches were. I usually only played when 2+ friends were also playing to mitigate the toxicity, but I had a blast doing it.

At the more entry levels of filmmaking, nothing separates the wheat from the chaff faster than sound. Not only is it very underrated by a lot of budding, amateur filmmakers, but it’s so easy to get wrong and so difficult to get right. A lot like finding a drummer for a fledgling band, finding a good sound designer is super hard to find, but so important.

I am happy that, for the most part, the computer handles the Pathfinder crunch, but I agree it is a bit much. I even have GM’d Shadowrun tables for like a decade now and find Pathfinder to be too much crunch haha

Oh, wow. I knew WotR and Kingmaker were very buggy too, but I didn’t realize the turn based mode was a mod! Wild. Especially since Rogue Trader only really has turn based.
