Wild new… electro punk? band I found on YouTube. They also have a couple chill tracks, like Being One that sound more like drum and bass (or someone correct me I’m not always great with genres)

Ah ok then, thank you.

He qualifies early on the types of games he’s discussing; anything with a story or that has meaning to us. IIRC he even mentioned the very scenario you bring up: A linear game where we still get to choose whether we finish it simply by not playing. He also mentions we can do this with other media like books.

It’s just an exploration of how we handle getting near the end of something that had meaning for us, both video games and events in our lives.

Then in the words of Randy Pitchford: It sounds like you aren't a true fan!

Yes, I meant 24 minutes, thanks for the catch

Crap, thank you! What a typo. I fixed it, but also did not try to hide my shame

 

Daryl's a good essayist and, in my opinion, this one hits a little different, probably even for people who aren't into video games.

It explores our anxiety and how we handle reaching the end of a game, story... and other things in life.

If you have just under 24 ~~hours~~ minutes to spare, I think it's worth your time.

Edit: No idea why the YouTube summary text in this post seems to be in German; it is an all-English video.

Wait they actually drew blood? What the fucking why?

 

Nice little place with ~ 8 tables and a basic menu of hotdogs, tamales, chips, guacamole,etc. Usually every table has umbrellas but a few blew away in that crazy storm a couple weeks ago. Shari, the nice owner, is working on replacing them. AFAIK, this is about as close to the water you can get with a table and some beach grub.

 

Is that they tried visiting the US deliberately. Like, on purpose.

Letterkenny, maybe

Should this kid be able to get a job somewhere in that agency? Sure, maybe. Should they be leading a major government department with zero experience? Absolutely not.

Just like an alcoholic talking head shouldn’t be leading our defense department. Or a fucking WWE wife being anywhere near leading education for the country. This isn’t about qualifications. It’s about nepotism and grifting.

How did they get WhatsApp installed? Is a FaceTime or other video option available? Never give up, never surrender

I’m a huge train and transit advocate and I try to take Amtrak every chance I get. But “tickets are cheaper” does not feel like a blanket statement we can make. Maybe on very specific, usually short legs, like Chicago to Milwaukee. Someone correct me if I’m wrong or there’s more nuance but once a trip goes past 3 or 5+ hour mark, the price seems to skyrocket past airfare.

What a lying ass dog food thief you should be uhshamed

 

I want to redesign my personal site around two things:

1 - Home page will be a personal landing page, like those “link in bio” tools to show people where you have accounts on social media, newsletters, etc. (such as https://bio.link/. I can share a basic personal page I’ve set up there but I don’t know if that’s allowed here)

2 - A decent blog experience, mainly for writing, sharing news links, and art I like (both personal and found)

Anyone know of a theme that tackles these two? I’m coming up empty handed with ThemeForest and Template Monster, even when trying variations of these keywords.

Thanks

The algorithm just brought this bassist + rapper to me and I’ve gone down the rabbit hole. Crazy talented. And is that a 7-string bass??

Here’s a bonus video with a different vibe. I’m really digging it. He also has some good tapping tracks.

Edit: Turns out it’s an 8-string guitar, 2 of which are bass strings to cater to this kind of playstyle. Wild!

 

My friends from the fencing team in a Milwaukee, WI suburban catholic high school were bored. We wanted to watch a movie, but didn’t want to spend theater prices. So we went to Blockbuster (!!) in search of something…. else.

No, not that you gooner.

We invented the rules on the car ride there:

  • None of us could have seen or even be aware of the movie
  • None of us can recognize any of the main actors in the film
  • Sci-fi or fantasy since those seemed to have the cheese we wanted

As we strolled along the shelves where most patrons don’t bother, there it was. Like a (scuffed) diamond in the rough: Cube

And it was glorious. lol

Bonus points: Two friends and I moved out to Denver, CO in the middle of college to go snowboarding and finish school (in that order). One of us became a manager at Blockbuster right at the beginning of the switch from VHS to DVDs. For whatever reason, his store started with the least rented titles they had, and their solution was to just throw all the VHS in the garbage.

One day he just showed up from work with ~ 4 or 5 huge garbage bags filled to the brim with the crappiest VHS films Blockbuster deemed unworthy to return to a distributor.

Around a week later he did it again.

It was the absolute (free!) jackpot of gloriously bad films.

 

Meta stuff is fine but I enjoy creative and unique rolls and loadouts in this game. Find anything that floats yer boat? Show us what you got.

I’ve been busy with life so haven’t been able to play or farm as much as I’d like. Hopefully I can next week and when all three dungeons become available.

 

Let’s skip the negative/horror stories and focus on the good, wholesome, and funny stuff for once

One time I was on the Green Line out of the loop to Forest Park (when I lived there), this homeless lookin dude steps between the cars into mine. It was rush hour so fairly packed. He starts preaching

“Let me tell you the story of how I found Jesus!”

“I had the life. I had it all! I had the women, the house, the cars. I made a million dollars!”

“Then I lost it all. I hit rock bottom. I didn’t know where to turn, I thought it might be the end.”

“And that’s how I found Jesus. He saved me. And he can save you too.”

Someone from the other end of the car goes

“Yeah that’s great but how did you make a million dollars?”

Whole car erupts laughing. Dude turns around and goes back to the other car
