- Comment on It’s getting weird folks, a second five fret game is getting pushed, Sound Studio 1 day ago:
Rocksmith is what got me back into playing bass regularly again and gave me a way to actually perform when I was no longer in a band. Fired it up, loaded up twitch, and took requests all night. I even got a second cam rigged to the neck of my bass. 2014 was an instant buy and had CDLC so damn quick. I praised it up and down for years. By comparison, plus is performatively better, but it’s also subscription based trash. No CDLC, not getting my money. Didn’t even let you carry over already purchased songs, which they did between original Rocksmith and 2014.
Also there’s a mod set for 2014 now that includes a fix for the sample rate problem that ubisoft told us was impossible to do. It let’s you specify a sample rate so that you can use Bluetooth headphones or other devices that aren’t locked to 48khz, like Bluetooth headphones. Used to have to route it through voicemeeter and deal with a pretty significant delay.

I think it was RealPlayer for me. I remember finding different sites and praying the connection was alright. That they were at least close enough in the world that you didn’t see that awful word, “Buffering…” Then I learned how to rip the whole rt file. Pretty sure I still have Trigun in rt actually…
Then once Winamp had video streaming, I remember surfing through crap on there all the time. Sooooo many weird foreign movies and anime…

EA just doing what it’s always done… Got it.
That’s always been their practice, use up a team until they don’t think they’ll get anything more from them, then shutter them. You don’t go to work for EA for the job security. You work for them because you need a stepping stone…
…Or they bought your studio.

Chrono Trigger had a similar effect on me, where Magus seemed like he just had to be the BBEG… Then you realize that was just the first drop on the rollercoaster.
- Comment on Star rupture on sale. It's only $20 to begin with, heh 3 weeks ago:
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve liked Star Rupture so far, but am I playing it wrong? I was kinda expecting there to be regular attacks similar to Factorio. Instead, after 20 hours of play, I’ve seen only one and killed them all so fast it wasn’t even really a threat. I feel like the progression of conflict needs to be little more aggressive.
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 4 weeks ago:
This… Put games on your wishlist, set your wishlist to only show sales, and sort by price. Then only buy games from that list when they go on a significant sale. Plenty of decent games out there regularly go for $5-10 or less. With very few exceptions I refuse to pay more than $20-30 for a game and, even then, only if they’re like 50% off and not likely to come down.
Also… stop pre-ordering games. They’ll still be there when they do go on sale. You don’t need to play them as soon as they come out. Conquer that FOMO shit and develop some integrity.

The video in question, since nobody’s linked you. At 33 seconds you hear what appears to be an audible fart/shart. Given how fast he cleared the room after and some of the facial expressions, it does seem very likely he did.

33 seconds, and yeah, all I heard was a squeak. It was everyone else’s reaction that really cements it. Particularly him clearing the room so fast. There’s a breakdown in the video’s comments with time stamps.

God yes!
My brother and I used to play it every day! He was usually my only defender when I’d inevitably get accused of cheating. “Sorry dude, he doesn’t need to cheat. You just suck.” So many good times. Loved doing paintball and shotgun duels. Then I broke my headset and couldn’t find another one. I drifted toward PC gaming and when they shut down the SOCOM 4 servers, my brother gave up gaming.
Both of us keep hoping they’ll finally do a new one that has crossplay so we can team up again.

The Radical Left wants you to eat bugs and kale. Not on my watch! We are building a massive reserve of Big Mac Coins. High quality, high value! I met with the Hamburglar—great guy, very misunderstood—and he agrees: the Mac Coin is going to the moon. Crypto is fine, but you can’t eat a Bitcoin! A total disaster for Sleepy Joe, but a HUGE win for your stomach! 🍔💰 #BigMacStandard #FastFoodFinancials

Yes, actually, some players had thicker spindles.
So here’s the story, at least as far as I understood it… 45s were created during a format war between Columbia records and RCA, a la betamax VS VHS, cd/dvd vs laser disc, or Blu-ray vs HD DVD. RCA’s 45s were designed to compete against Columbia’s 33s as both of them fought to create a sturdier successor to the old shellac 78 designs and bring a more reliable standard to the industry.
The larger hole was claimed to be a design feature that gave the records more stability, but really, RCA just wanted to make them incompatible with other players…
In the end, 33 LPs won. Turns out, people and musicians wanted whole albums, not just singles. Whoda thunk? However, 45s ended up being perfect for jukebox players. Plus, we got those nifty convertors that ultimately made it so it didn’t matter as long as your player had a speed setting.
Fun fact, my first record player ever was actually a Fisher Price… It sounded about as good as you would expect, but I loved it. And if you look, it’s got a built-in 45 adaptor that just popped up when you pressed it.

Santa Claus?
Have to go to the mall and sit on Santa’s lap to tell him what you want for Christmas. If you’ve been a good boy or girl, you’ll get it.
Sugar daddy relationships usually involve exchanging sexual favors for gifts. Quite a few of them also include kinks like bratting and/or praise kinks, i.e. “Good girl.”
The analogy should be pretty obvious.
