The whole point of signals is because you don’t know when you haven’t noticed that someone is around. People who only use signals when someone can see them are doing it wrong as much as those who never use it. Cars have blind angles and you can’t be aware of everything going on around you all the time. That’s why you signal, so everyone has clear indication of your intents. You also reminded me of an uncle who used who always forgot to signal before a maneuver and when he realized mid-turn he would then use the signal. Like, it is of no use anymore.

There’s a couple of raunchy jokes. One implies a fish is a man’s penis, and he orgasms when you slap the fish repeatedly. There’s the cow you milk with a motion that imitates male masturbation. Also a couple of body horror stuff that look like an anus you enter into a fleshy intestine like cavern. Lot’s of sexual innuendo in dialogue jokes. Definitely not a kid’s game. Maybe play it first, it is a short game, and gauge if it is proper for your kid before playing it with them. Since the game is linear and most interactions are not optional. It’s more like teen immature humor.

The amount of shitty podcasts who use the SM7 and just don’t bother to pair it with a nice pre-amp is too damn high. It is so high, that shure now makes a dB version with an in-built pre-amplifier. That mic sounds very particular when it is improperly used and is a telltale sign the podcast is going to be shit. All the hype, no actual knowledge. (save a very few exceptions of good writers before they learned more about sound engineering)

Just like in the movie. Tom is indeed delusional, Summer is just cynical in her communications. They are both using shit software. Tom is putting all his fate on a single private company in pursuit of a misguided ideal and ignoring the red flags through rose tinted glasses. Summer doesn’t want to commit at all because she knows there’s much more complex factors at play than privacy alone but hasn’t yet found someone who makes her feel safe and secure the way she wants, so she settles temporarily for what feels fun in the moment.

For the vast part of the world, that is not the us or the EU, a PC, specially a very powerful one like for gaming, has always been an expensive luxury item. You’re just joining the club late.

Pourquoi pas?

He was the queer kid of a Latina mother in the US who liked fashion and wanted to save the environment. Then it was focus grouped to death until the director and the main star left. Pete Docter killed the film because he hates people. “Want to make films that appeals to as many people as possible” means kill minorities representation to him. This attitude will eventually bankrupt Pixar.

It makes me sad because elio was supposed to be a cute story about a queer kid learning about his place in the universe. Instead, the original director and writer got kicked, the movie was butchered and a new film was made from the corpse that had nothing to do with the original premise. Then it was released without any marketing and the animators were blamed, “the movie flopped because of bean mouth!” No, is flopped because Disney is an evil pos that only wants profit and to cause suffering to minorities in order to extricate more money for the shareholders.

There’s a story mode that auto-skips all the combat.

It has a very generous and flexible difficulty setting. Plus accessibility options. I started on normal and have been dropping down the difficulty whenever I gets too much, or disabling the skill based parts altogether. Then back up whenever a particular fight seems interesting, just to see how it plays out. It doesn’t penalizes you at all, as it should. It is truly a game designed to be enjoyed fully, it never gets in the way of the player’s enjoyment, and respects your time in ways no other jrgp does.

“I’m so privileged and selfish that I will burn the planet down and kill everyone before having to walk more than a block or use public transport.”

I like trains.

Good, unless you have some disability it shouldn’t be.

He bought a Tesla because he thinks Elon is a genious.

The Seinfeld effect. Today they seem clunky, janky, unpolished or uninspired. Because you have way better modern examples to compare them to. The catch is that when they came out, they were the first. People have said the same about the Beatles, the rolling stones, the og legend of Zelda, counter strike, etc.

A pre-built gaming solution that comes with guaranteed software support, something that MS doesnt even offer BTW, sounds like a really good deal to me.

Oh cool, you have a motherboard with two WiFi 7 antennas and dual chip Bluetooth that also fits inside a 3.5 l case with a low noise cooling solution, that also happens to boot on controller input? Just ready to just, I don’t know, upgrade to a graphics card that is not even for sale to consumers?

That’s also research. Someone building a PC for you will also charge for labor, and that’s price parity with a pre-built. The hype is that Valve is front loading a bunch of labor free of MS shitty practices.

There’s more to building a PC than just the putting it together. Reaseach for parts, ordering, waiting for delivery, etc. I know because I have built almost all the computers I’ve ever own. It’s a hobby, not everyone has the same hobbies we do, and that’s OK.

Did you know that I make a mean risotto? It’s so fire. Like, I use all these high class ingredients, a delicious local cheese that tastes like magic. And I can get it to the perfect consistency, and I can do it for relatively cheap. Because I’m doing it myself, labor is not accounted in, I just pay for the ingredients. Thus I can use more expensive ingredients as well.

You know what I also like to do? I like to go out and eat at fancy restaurants with my friends and family. I also eat risotto when I eat out. Their risotto is also just as good as mine. Sometimes better, sometimes not so much. It is always more expensive than cooking myself of course. But you know what I don’t like to do? I don’t like to cook for dozens of people. It is too much labor. However, I can go with a party of 10 or more people and eat in a restaurant. And they will serve us, because they don’t care that there are too many of us. Because we are paying them to cook. I exchange money, for more convenience and less effort. Ain’t that wild?

So, anyways, I’m not talking about food.
