Yeah, seems he traded his God complex for victim complex in the end...

Hell, it doesn't even need to be able "resisting urges". I'd be more behind a guys-only gym where I'm less likely to end up in some random chick's social media session.

Yes, guys do the social media crap too but at least in my experience they tend towards places that don't involve broadcasting everyone else (except maybe the dudes with the creep glasses, fuck them). I'm tired of having to dodge some glam-girl who has decided to make the beach, park, gym or whatever her personal studio and including me or my kids as unwilling participants in their narcissism.

Yeah, it really depends on the album and the way the artist has put it together. Any sort of "mix" album if matters very little the order you play it in, or which songs. Something Iike a concert recording, an (e.g. Pink Floyd) album where one song transitions to another, or a Rock Opera that tells a story across songs, the specific songs played and order can matter a lot!

I've got my own music collection on a self-hosted server which I can stream to my devices, and would love to have some sort of "not a singular/standalone" flag for songs which really don't fit or sound good outside of the larger album when I'm playing random/mix mode.

Shit, that's terrible. Here's hoping that one day your grey matter can rewire itself in a way that allows you to enjoy games or blinking lights again without side effects

Whenever somebody posts about a glory hole I expect to see this one, but it still makes me laugh every time

Seems these days the Republican way is "if we can't find evidence we'll create some"

Mine has a few plastic bits fail but I was able to 3D print replacements

My old Brother color laser is still going strong!

I just installed SteamOS on a mini PC that costs about half what the Steam Machine does (and less than the Deck under current pricing), and runs on an AMD 7840HS with 32GB of RAM in a form-factor that's the size of 3 stacked pieces of bread.

While that APU is likely powerful than the Steam machine's with its dedicated VRAM, I did test a few games and it definitely outperforms the Deck and the higher system RAM makes it potentially more versatile than either.

I've got a collection of games that are either:

  • Games I liked but wouldn't want my kids to play
  • Games I liked and my kids will likely like
  • Games I liked and my kids likely won't like
  • Games I liked and my kids initially don't, but dammit they're going to give it a try anyways despite the dated graphics or sometimes cheesy plot-points

People can be great in some ways yet fallible or bad in others, particularly when looked at through the lense of time.

Follies and achievements should often be looked at with the perspective that we've had the opportunity to learn a lot from both.

I'd kinda love to see a comeback for optical given the supply issues for flash memory, but I'll about that a custom USB ROM stick or SDCard style carts for PC would be kinda sick
