  • Absolutely this. Can confirm from experience. I got it from my Ma, whenever family was hosting growing up she was doing the most. Flexing at every opportunity. Obviously good to play with a budget you wouldn't mind burning so you don't chew off too much, but keep being extra.

  • So far...

    Obviously still has fair share of dumb stuff happening with these systems today, but there have been some big steps in just the last few years. Wouldn't be surprised if it was much spookier a decade from now.

    In general, good to use as a tool to be taken with grain of salt and further review.

  • Might've just been the glass slipper my hands needed then. Felt like a peak optimization of the sony layout, least in my mitts.

    I know several folks who prefer the offset Xbox style, but I always appreciated the more symmetrical design of PlayStation. Thumbs were same height on controller for FPS or fighting genres, which I did a bunch of back then. Didn't mind offset thumbs for other games like God of War. I think the designer in me also appreciated sony's cleaner aesthetic as well.

  • Back in the day, I think it was Logitech or similar who redesigned a PlayStation controller with some minor ergonomic tweaks. It was a masterpiece. This was back in maybe PS2/PS3 era.

    Sounds see if any modern versions exist. I'm still a Sony controller purist, having never really fallen in love with Xbox like so many others.

  • Fully, a MASSIVE amount of what I'm into now came from Tony Hawk games and [adult swim] and the trajectory that put me on. [adult swim] was for sure the MTV of my generation.

    By the time I was watching MTV, it was still some TRL and music vids, but also a big dose of Room Raiders, etc... And it eventually fell out of fashion. [AS] definitely had their finger on the pulse of what the cool cats were to tho. Such a hip scene. I still vividly recall a bump for Boondocks featuring Flying Lotus' song Massage Situation that felt mind blowing.

    Weird to think where I'd be without either.

  • That's the curse, man. Finally got fun money budget (kinda), but also got zero damn free time. Don't even have kids! Where the hell is all the damn time going?! HOW is it the last week of August?!

    Definitely would keep the gear to try and share with the kids. Old music tech is dope! Old tech in general, still quite cool. Loved hitting retro games on the thicc floppy back in the day. Or whatever other gadget pops would have around. Cherished times.

  • Tossed a hefty chunk of change on a Maschine+. AKA fancy beat pad for finger drumming/music production that can operate as standalone device. Did catch on sale, but still a hefty investment.

    While not as "responsible" as other things I'm saving for, it's been a fucking blast! Always fun having an easy way to kick beats without schlepping a full kit, and tbh I have so much more potential for making weird noises with the pad.

  • For what it's worth, it depends so much on whether or not the meal is done justice by a proper cook. It's a tall order, and loads of folks cooking it are just doing their best.

    That being said, shit is phenomenal when it's done justice. I was quite lucky to live in the household with the best spread of all time. Ma's t-day feast is undefeated.

    Talking crisp-skinned juicy bird with balanced herbs and seasoning. Fully homemade roasted stuffing with crispy bits and sausage, a jealously guarded family recipe. Fresh homemade cranberry sauce two-ways cause both versions too damn good to skip either. Spuds with gravy made from them bird-veg roast drippings -- most valuable juice on the planet. Homemade lefste. Cranberry upside down cake, or like pumpkin cheesecake, the works.

    Just got really excited for Fall ngl...

    For me, DEFINITELY an unpopular opinion, but for obvious reasons I'm biased af. (Don't even get me started on the other holidays)

  • Obviously no idea, pure speculation, but I assume there would have been like, multiple careers in jeopardy if Jack stuck by Kyle initially. Jack Black got big dummy money now. Big dummy careers like this have teams of people involved. I'm sure he was getting threats of being dropped from agencies and upcoming gigs (no more Bowser unless you back off) that played a role in the choice. He's got enough money to be fine, but what about the others affected? I'm sure it was a terrible place to be.

    Truly some devil's advocate thoughts here; was a punk-ass move distancing himself from Kyle instead of calling out the hypocrisy. Risky jokes have existed since forever - hell Gilbert had 9/11 jokes the very next night. The Right out here selling merch with violent rhetoric for years. The whole thing is goofy.

  • Wait is it confirmed they're not picking that back up? I thought that movie was pretty solid! Really felt ripe for franchising. Could either continue that party, or same actors different campaign, etc.. so much potential!
