The sound from the speakers he must have used was also “analog”. Sound - defined as a pressure wave through a medium - can’t be digital. Though the difference between analog and digital kinda loses meaning in cases like this.

I used to argue this stuff online. I had to quit for my sanity. If anyone wants a sample of the absolute insane beliefs and the staggering amount of handwaving these people are capable of, I suggest checking out evolutionfairytale.com. They will unironically claim to be objective, then a sentence later tell you that “proper science literature” is to be discredited because it has a pro-evolution bias. 🤣
- Comment on 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed 4 days ago:
One of my most vivid memories of the 80s was that bullying was absolutely rampant and no one did anything about it. Parents then were just like, “It’s part of growing up!”
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 5 days ago:
I have 4630 MP3s on my phone. Most of it is organized well enough. An album per folder. Lots of them are even tagged correctly. The folder on my PC that is holding probably 3X that is a horrible mess.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Battleblock Theater and Noita, but I’m having trouble with controller support for the latter. It doesn’t seem to work on Steam Deck when it’s docked.

- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 3 weeks ago:
Megaman 2 still reigns supreme IMO. The most consistent soundtrack for any video game ever. Bangers end-to-end.
Sexy Parodius is also fantastic. It’s a demented mix of jacked up, synthesized classical and folk tunes. This is probably my favorite track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlRO9Q0dbQA&list=PLAdIErL… The synth-sax is incredible!
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 4 weeks ago:
Huh? I don’t think I’ve ever used a rental car service that didn’t require a credit card. Exactly so they can charge for this sort of thing.
- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 5 weeks ago:
It took approximately an hour after Ozzy Osbourne died for every single Black Sabbath video on YouTube to be inundated with “R.I.P. Ozzy” comments.
- Comment on Someone should make an anticapitalist Dexter. A serial killer who kills evil rich people. 1 month ago:
It’d be incredibly unrealistic to have them have any degree of success given the ease of determining their motive and potential targets, and the sheer amount of resources the police would undoubtedly throw at finding someone who was killing oligarchs.

“Xarelto”, or alternatively “cereal with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, crushed peanuts, raisins, dried cranberries, and Greek yogurt” if medicine doesn’t count.

Used to be 18 or 20, then I had a kid and 2 became the norm.

Yeah. Reacting? Not a problem! Waiting to react? Ohshitohshitohshit!

I love the combat! There’s nothing more satisfying than learning an enemy’s moves perfectly and then getting that juicy 20% experience boost for whacking them without taking a hit. The balance is a bit off sometimes, but when it’s on, it’s amazing. I finished a long, difficult fight last night with my last character being the only one standing. It was such a cool moment.
Enemies with huge, super-slow wind ups to their attacks can take a hike, though. If I can accidentally parry four-five times in the time it takes you to wind up your attack, just maybe my character should be preemptively counter attacking, y’know.

I thought I saw in very recent patch notes that there was a community-made version of SM2?

Zelda 1 seems an odd omission from the supported games. I wonder if some games are harder to implement than others or something.
- Comment on Migrating from Lemm.ee 2 months ago:
OK! We weren’t super active, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to just recreate what I had there. I’m happy to see a production community already here. There’s understandably a lot of overlap. 😄
- Comment on Migrating from Lemm.ee 2 months ago:
Cool! Thanks! I’ll have a look.
