As a userscript author, it is some bullshit.
Capguns. So whatever percussion caps were made from throughout the 1990s.
Hot dust.
Listening to your example, compare the Deftones’ “Knife Party.”
From the description - hypnogogic pop? Tame Impala, especially anything off Currents. An album that begins with “Let It Happen” and ends with “New Person, Same Old Mistakes.”
Kinda progressive rock, especially post-70s. Kingston Wall - “Could It Be So?”
Songs that make you lose yourself before the voice of the artist jolts you awake.
Oh, so more My Morning Jacket. “Touch Me I’m Going To Scream, Pt.1.” “Dondante.” Or arguably Mew’s “Comforting Sounds.”
I assumed he was big on Macs for their own sake. It’s a thing, for music geeks - and obviously he’s a fan of iPods, specifically. Surprised to hear his objectively correct summary of Windows versions.
Hydlide, probably. A deeply mediocre action RPG that came out on NES waaay after everyone else had one-upped it, or ten-upped it.
And I played it circa 1997.
No, hang on - I at least progressed in Hydlide. To this day I have no goddamn idea how to get out of the first room in Batman Forever. I had the Game Boy version. I did not buy this game. Some kid just gave it to me, which should have been a warning. As I understand it, all versions of the game are quite similar, which would be admirable if they were not, to a one, total dogshit. I think it’s the Mortal Kombat engine used as a platformer… made by aliens.
You shouldn’t regret not gambling $2000 just because you saw it would’ve worked out.
… you should regret not gambling $200, “because fuck it.” If you’re really worried about any greedy investment, just lower the stakes.
The word you’re looking for is “wealthy.”
This is the lesson I learned watching Bitcoin: cash out half.
And it had a sequel, somehow, that was maybe 2% less fucked.
Yes, after twenty years of refusing to stabilize any part of that interface.
Chrome is absolutely the villain in this context. But Mozilla has been fucking itself over since the single-digit version numbers.
Nah it’s fine, we’ll just do the whole website in Shockwave.
Near-field radio-wave shenanigans might fake it. There’s all kinds of electromagnetism passing through you and you’re interfering with some of it. Resolution is limited by wave-length… unless the sensor is within that distance. That’s still going to be blurry, but deconvolution mmmight recover enough detail to go “yep, that’s broken.”
The newest cheapo Raspberry Pi including two RISC-V cores was an exciting surprise.
The funniest part is Hollywood thinking it’ll shave a fraction off their costs, and not obliterate their entire industry. We now have a CGI studio that runs on your video card. (Or at least everyone can see the path toward making that. The ingredients for this machine are a pirated movie collection, their Wikipedia articles, and obscene amounts of computer power. So it’s not like we could stop people from rolling their own.) You feed in some greenscreen footage, and out comes a whimsical enchanted forest or whatever. Currently still gloopy and samey… but right now is the worst it will ever be, again. And the tools that take off will be the ones that let humans guide the idiot robot around those details.
It’ll still take work to make anything worthwhile, but it won’t take an army of animators eighteen months, let alone a set, a crew, and a cast. The next big gay cartoon will come out of fucking nowhere. And it’ll be cheap enough that it won’t live or die based on merch.
The music equivalent of ‘everyone has a novel in them, and god willing that’s where most of them will stay.’
Or you get trolled, you respond in a similar vein, and the mod bans you but not them, because the mod likes their opinion more.
Or you added a G-rated insult after a detailed explanation of how they’re objectively wrong. Because god forbid anyone be the tiniest bit uncivil with someone going ‘oh, so you think [infuriating horseshit]?’
Remember: trolling is explicitly forbidden, but any hint of suggesting someone might be trolling is worse somehow.
“Why does YAML suck?” is a question. “Why YAML sucks” is an explanation.
