So crazy man. Im really glad I never had kids. Im 40 now and Im just now feeling like I may consider it. No offence to 20 years olds but seeing someone that age with two or three kids blows my mind. I feel like Im just barely old enough to even think about kids.

The only thing it proves is that I’ll use any old screen shot to validate my nonsensical internal dialog.

Summing Salt and Karl Jobst are a Wizards. I’ve never done a speed run in my life but legit get pumped when they release something interesting I’d never think about on my own. that latest one about the 100% items DOOM speed run. Why am I so conditioned to love that shit?

I remember asking my dad why he didn’t watch cartoons anymore when I was a wee little fucker. He said that I wouldn’t like cartoons either when I become an adult. Still waiting, dad. Still waiting.

Exactly. It’s an art in itself. A cross fade was laying the diagonal cuts of two strips onto each other at the seam. Your fade time what the angle of the cut. DAWs visualize that but it used to be an actual cut. Wild times back then. Digital completely took over right after I left college and it’s a shame because there’s something special in there that makes every edit mean something. With no Ctrl-Z, every cut is a commitment.
If you look up pics of old iconic rock master reels, some of those things look like a Frankenstein monster. But once they put it on wax for sale, you’d never know the reels looked like hot garbage.

let’s get you back inside, grandpa. Rub some liniment on those bunions and put you on one of your favorite spaghetti westerns.

I do sound professionally and I originally learned to track on 2" magnetic tape. Our one digital console had something like 24 channels (which was cutting edge at the time) and every channel required a $40k card slotted into this proprietary rack costing god know how much. Now, any cheap laptop can be an audio rig that has basically unlimited channels and enough DSP to basically do anything they want. Nothing like slicing tape with a razor hoping your edit was right.

My sibling is way younger than I and she and their friends were asking me what it was like during 9/11 because that’s entirely before their time. I felt like an old vet talking about storming the beaches on D-Day. It’s so wild how actual adults were born in what feels like just a few years ago.

it’s not me. I have been carrying around that resentment towards them for many years now. Front line get the spear, or so it’s said.

112k AkChuUhLee. (I had to look it back up) I’ve been a career Tool fan but that’s as far as I’ve ever gotten. I’m where I want to be tho. And this way, I won’t need to make a fake crying apology video.

I have just received the relevant stats and indeed, I’m not but it sure feels like it these days. It’s more childlike in content than it’s every been IMO. Maybe it’s just me.

Ohhhhh what a classic. I remember huddling around my girlfriend’s (at the time) family computer watching that one god know how many times in a row. That one with David Blaine but it was this other kid pretending to be him doing impossible tricks.

This makes me feel better actually. I always get the vibe that it’s all kids and teenagers. Maybe because they’ve made it too “soft” for lack of a better word that I can think of rn. I’ll stop back in another 19 years.

Reminisce with me about the pre google glory days. In the long long ago. Salad Fingers, that Joey Jordison drum solo video, Badger Badger Badger…

- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
I love how mind bending it is imagining what lies inside a black hole. Everything we know about physics essentially goes right out the window beyond the event horizon.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
I would assume that anything that lies within the photon sphere could never have a stable orbit. The photon sphere is the point that light itself orbits the black hole and its 1.5x the radius of the blackhole itself. Anything closer to the singularity than this boundry is doomed to fall into the singularity as it would require faster than light speeds to maintain any stable orbit.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
Well, there’s the hypothesis of a “naked singularity” whereas if enough charge or spin could be added to a black hole, the event horizon, aka, the black part of a black hole, could just vanish. This would expose the singularity at its center but its just a hypothesis. Or better yet, a thought experiment at best. This wouldn’t eliminate its mass though.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
Literally, impossible. To exit the event horizon of a black hole, you’d have to travel faster than the speed of light. We know for a fact that anything with mass cannot travel at the speed of light. (And anything without mass MUST travel at the speed of light) Once you cross the event horizon, you’ve been entirely and irreversibly separated from the rest of the universe.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
With super massize black holes, you could pass the event horizon and not even know it. To you, everything would remain relatively (no pun intended) comfortable. You could live for a couple days, falling towards the singularity before the gravitational gradient becomes enough to rip you apart, thus ending your life.

Fun fact: There are more oxygen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 3 weeks ago:
That was the first aspect of the game that really got my attention. For the first like 8 hours or so, I found myself more excited to hear whatever song was next than whatever the missions or gear upgrade may have been ahead.
I think CP77 is a good game now but the only masterpiece aspect of it is the way they painted over everything with some of the most bizarre and mind bending music in a game. I dont mean the theme music. The sounds your bombarded with just walking through NC is the life force of the city and the #1 reason why it feels alive at all and not just a game city.
The background hum of the city is what sold the whole game for me. Without that, I think CP77 would be kind of another “whatever” FPRPG by now. The music make it a masterpiece.
- Comment on Just a reminder that one out of three calories produced in the US gets thrown away because of shit like this 5 weeks ago:
Stores pour bleach on fresh produce so nobody can pull out out of the dumpster. They’re rather destroy good food than feed a single mouth in need.
They attempt to cover their tracks by allowing their customers to donate to some conjob of a charity at the checkout line. This also provides them with huge tax credits/breaks which is the only real reason they even bother with donation anything.
- Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct 1 month ago:
Depends on how you define “further”. I’d like to leave this earth knowing I had a positive impact on those i met while I was here. I can sleep easy at night, even dispte all the hardships in my life atm, knowing I’m doing the best with what it is I have. Also, in my early 30’s, I started to really internalize the, “having nice things means keeping things nice” i.e. you don’t need new shiny things all the time. Take care of what you already have and you’ll never be without.
I can’t lie and manipulate my way into being a kind and honorable man, friend, son and brother. Me achieving those things brings me greater peace of mind and satisfaction than anything I’d ever need to lie my way into to get.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
LET. YOUR. KID. KEEP. THE. DAMN. GIFT.
If you take it away, the damage you may cause to you and yours sons relationship will FAR exceed the value of a phone.
Also, and I’m not saying this as an insult, it sounds like this is less about a phone, and more about pride. You didn’t get your kid an expensive phone so him having it is a reminder his best friend’s patents can afford what you cannot. Maybe tell your child that they are so loved in this world by others that they want him to be blessed by gifts he wouldn’t otherwise have. Show him he’s a valuable person who has earned such a nice gesture because of who he is and what he means to others. Make sure he doesn’t take such a kind action for granted.
But please, let your boy keep the gift. Him having it means way more than it does to you giving it back.
