- Comment on Tobacco ban in the UK could create a smoke-free generation 2 weeks ago:
Banning is a sure fire way to make it less attractive to rebellious teens. /s
- Comment on Not being culturalist but are Koreans overtly kind? Story inside. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve found Korean love to share their culture and if you show any interest they will shower you with their culture, it’s very nice. I think it’s pretty common though with a lot of people if you show interest. Food is also a big deal to them since it wasn’t so long ago that Korea went through a major famine, people were starving, so they make sure that their neighbors are fed, which is a lot more than I can say for US.
- Comment on Pineapple on pizza? No thanks. Meet the chefs bringing the real Italy to the UK 3 weeks ago:
Tomatoes aren’t even from Italy, get real.
- Comment on Amazon started hiding ratings for some products 3 weeks ago:
Making their massive collection of reviews only available to their shitty AI, I would suppose.
- Comment on Not to get into a debate. If God is so omnipotent and above humans why does he or she have emotions? Like smiting or being upset or wrath? 3 weeks ago:
Which got me to thinking the other day, after the third day of crazy thunderstorms and tornado warnings in a row, if we were created in god’s image, then what if god’s a moron?
- Comment on why does almost nobody live here? 4 weeks ago:
There’s lots of small chill beach towns, seems like a lovely place to live really. Been considering moving there actually 😆
- Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible" 5 weeks ago:
Been about the same here as well, I mean to me graphics have been good enough since like PS2 since I started with a Commodore 64, so everything else has just been icing on the cake. I never really got into online gaming either so that was never a draw. I suppose I see gaming as something like a momentary escape, so I prefer games with colorful, fantastic graphics and not necessarily photo realistic renders, so the constant push for more polygons has largely been not so important for me.

And you still have to eat properly after you stop taking it, I wonder how many people are doing that.

I’ve got like 30 years worth of PC parts laying around, I’m sure I can cobble something together 😁 sometimes it pays to be a packrat.

There’s literally enough in my PC backlog for the rest of my life probably, don’t need another new console, game or graphics card, ever.

He has good videos, but idk who told him to make a face like he just found his boss fucking his wife as the cover for every video.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 1 month ago:
I didn’t personally care for it but I realized it wasn’t exactly for me so whatevs, just because there is a show in same universe as the other imaginary space shows I watch that I don’t like I realize I can just watch something else because I’m an adult (surely lol). It’s a damn shame scifi is full of such small minded persons, I certainly know scifi fandom has had a lot of problems in the past but things seemed to be improving, though I suspect this is more of a loud minority situation, unfortunately the loud minority are billionaires.
- Comment on Day 615 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Seriously, if it’s in your budget go check out your local Symphony
That’s the problem with symphonys, they are priced for rich folks. No normal person is going to go pay $200 for lousy seats one night at the symphony. I wanted to go see Back to the Future with live symphony last summer and it was more than that, insane.
- Comment on We have heard time and time again Hollywood and the Media are liberal assests. I disagree with that statement. But has it always been so called liberal? When did it start? 1 month ago:
Since caring about other people became a liberal idea, not been able to pinpoint exactly when that started but wow.
- Comment on Is there a software method to "rotate" music around my head? 1 month ago:
You can look for something called headphone crossfeed, there are DSP plugins for a number of music players for this, you can use these plugins to simulate the stereo field of speakers using headphones by having some of the signal from each channel bleed into the other, since of course when you are listening to speakers, that’s what’s happening unless you have your speakers very close to your head.

Had to scroll all the way to the bottom, it’s disturbing how popular these games are.

They pulled it off though. David Duchovny is so charming. I hope if UFOs are real they meet David Duchovny first.

- Comment on Today is the 40th Anniversay of Zelda! 2 months ago:
I bought this game on layaway at the local small department store and rode my bike a few miles every week from my house to the store to make the payments for it. That story makes me feel 100 years old.
- Comment on Oh yes 2 months ago:
I’ve been given many gifts, the gift of hustle was not one, I really don’t care about making money if my needs are met. Capitalism has been highly ineffective on me.

The Leftovers, Maniac, Mr. Robot, anything by Sam Esmail really.
