I ain't gonna call them mediocre myself, and The Wall means a lot to me personally with my own life journey, but there's absolutely better, more musically interesting prog rock groups out there than Pink Floyd.
It's a side quest you do for the King. He suspects a hired bodyguard in Freeside is up to shenanigans, so he gives you a buncha caps to hire this bodyguard and let him escort you through Freeside.
He comes across a gang of ruffians, and you can use medical knowledge to check if the guard actually shoots them or if they're faking their deaths.
First phone was a red Samsung feature with a feature phone around 2009, 2010 or so.
First computer of my own was an old IBM thing. Don't remember the model, but it was just a simple black tower with a 16:10 monitor. 2 gigs RAM, 32gb hard drive, and a Pentium 4! It was too shit to render flashlights in HL2 Deathmatch but I played shit tons of that on it. Once it got a GPU and a 500 gig drive a while after, I clocked soooo many hours playing gmod and classic Doom on it as a kid.
I have an urge to buy some of them on steam before they get delisted but don't want to give any money to wb in the process. The way that apparently devs could just leave or sell/give away the game on other platforms made me think maybe wb doesn't get a cut of every sale. Does anyone know that for certain?
One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?
I’m just looking forward to when they redo the series again in 10, 20 years time, giving them the same fucking names again, and we’ll have to ask “Are you talking 1981, 2009, or 2037?”
I mean oddities mostly. I corelate the area code of my highschool love, and often the birthday of another. It has no significance beyond a few pleasant memories, but it is just one of life’s oddities for me. Do you experience similar oddities?
My most frequent stim for YEARS involves me playing along doing saxophone fingerings to whatever music I’m listening to or is stuck in my head. So, maybe a wind instrument!
Just imagine, the citizens of Fallout and the Elder Scrolls likely don’t bathe nearly as often as we’d want them. Just imagine how badly Belethor must smell of rotten cheese, or the amount of piss you’d find on raiders and the shit in their pants when they die.
I never played the first one as a kid, but my little brother found a used copy of its sequel for the Xbox while in town with mom once. I was like, 9 years old at the time, and the game blew my dang mind! Big over the top first person action with all these cool looking guns, shooting these weird giggly aliens, their bodybuilding handler aliens, buncha dudes in power armor, all while on a big journey across space visiting many different worlds, it was so sick for me at the time!
Much later, I finally checked out the first game on PC and uh. Yeah. Yeeaaah Unreal 2 is kind of an insult to how majestic the first game was.
Unreal 2 is a bad game in comparison, and I will admit it! It’s slower, the enemies are mostly boring to fight compared to the Skaarj in the first game, the weapons are bog standard with little that makes them stand out, it very much suffered from “We can do Halo, too!” The story is kinda lame, the levels aren’t the most interesting to play in, and most importantly: It lacks that sense of adventure and wonder the first game was loaded with.
But man, when I was a kid? It was god damn cinematic to me.
Mine probably isn’t that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.
Y’all check out Fashion Police Squad, it’s an FPS game where instead of shooting demons with shotguns, you’re tightening baggy pants and adding color to drab outfits. It’s basically this comic, the video game.
Stagehand work is tons of fun, honestly! If you’re American or Canadian and live somewhere with a decent music/stage production scene there’s probably an IATSE local in your area you can do gigs with as overhire.
I had this shower thought earlier and I actually wanted to post it in that community. The name I came up with was SmartWalkman, but later I realized that Walkman is Sony specific, so I doubt other companies would’ve gone for that name, but I didn’t want to let this shower thought slip so here I am now asking you guys.
Definitely PDA. Before we had modern smartphones folks would carry a cell phone and separate PDA which had computer functionalities. I’ve always said they were smartphones with half the smart and none of the phone.
Common apps included calculators, calendars, to do lists, notepads, clocks with alarms, task lists with reminders, PDF readers, word processors, later ones could even double as mp3 players and portable video players. There were even games made for them, both official and homebrew. My Windows PDAs have a bootleg port of XCOM: UFO Defense on them, which works brilliantly! There’s also ports of Space Trader, if you want to take Elite with ya in your pocket.
PDAs evolved into smartphones as companies started including cellular tech inside PalmOS and Windows Mobile PDAs with devices like the Palm Treo and HTC Apache running PDA OSes with cellular connectivity. Once the iPhone came out though basically everything changed. They weren’t the first, but they released a slick, buttery smooth device using a much better type of touch screen, with heaps of built in flash memory, a vibrant high res screen, and of course, iTunes. I own a PDA from the same year, not lower end but kinda middle of the road. 128 mb of usable flash memory, 64 mbs of RAM, a 240x320 resolution 16 bit color resistive touch screen (pressure sensitive, like the DS), a full sized SD card slot which can take up to 2 gigs of additional storage, wifi, Bluetooth, and IRDa. Required a stylus for usage. Versus the iPhone, which had anywhere from 4 gigs to 16 gigs of built in storage, 128 mb of RAM, a 480x320 resolution 18 bit color capacitive touch screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and multi-touch functionality on the screen. No stylus needed, either.
I sure did feel the love and embrace of the son of God as his proud followers directly contributed to various traumatic experiences and abuses growing up that fucked me up as a child and led to me being an emotionally and mentally stunted adult. If this is God’s love, I ain’t impressed, and don’t gimme that shit about having my faith tested cause the sadistic bastard that sees global suffering en masse and explicitly allows it is not deserving of my faith.
Cool that your religion brings ya peace and joy mate, genuinely happy for ya. Shit sucks in the world and we all need some form of comfort, but my advice? Keep it to yourself.
Zip drives were sadly before my time, but I actually managed to find one in the wild! A parallel port drive in clear blue plastic for $40 at a local used media shop. Just the loose drive and cable, no box or anything. Prooooobably a touch too pricey for a device that wouldn’t surprise me if it had the click of death.
Honestly I do kinda miss magnetic media like that! Having a big cartridge with moving parts ya shove into a slot just felt so nice when we used floppies as a very young kid.
I just don’t like low effort content being somewhere that could be a great spot for interesting, profound discussions. I’ll take the L here, ain’t a big issue worth getting worked up over, but I’ll stand by my thoughts lol
I just don’t wanna see AskLemmy turn into AskReddit, is all. That sub frustrated me endlessly cause it could have been a great place for people to interact, tell interesting stories, discuss ideas and whatnot, but it turned into “do you agree with this opinion everybody here already agrees on” and “men/women, what sex do you sex the most?”
I ain’t a prude, but I don’t enjoy seeing something that could be a bastion for high brow content get turned into a breeding ground for boring, uninteresting slop.
Gonna take the L here since like ey, not a big issue at all lol. I just want more meaningful content than something with a single one word answer that I won’t remember in 5 minutes.
Yeah, I will apologize to ya for the unnecessary harshness. Could’a worded it much better than that. Leaving it as is for posterity’s sake, but there was no excuse for it.
Okay that first one is easily the most horrifying thing I’ve read this morning, and this is minutes after reading about the dude who mixed his dad’s sperm with his own.
Store bought THC definitely helps, but my tolerance is wicked high right now and I don’t know if I wanna rely on a substance that could rock me into jail or cost me my job, just to keep me somewhat functional in this very dysfunctional chroma nightmare society we live in.
I’m in Eastern Time Zone, but work is a 5 minute drive from Central. We get a few occasions where tourists show up an hour late for their scheduled tour because of this.
If there’s room we just stick 'em on the next tour, easy as. However if they cannot be rescheduled, corporate’s policy is to keep the money and say “sorry, we told you it’s non-refundable.”
Maybe 1-3 times a month? We do our best to let customers know when setting up reservations over the phone “Ey, just so you know, corporate don’t do refunds, and we’re in EST. Factor that in when you plan to drive here plz.”
If you want an app for your phone, Soulseek has done me absolute wonders. Shockingly it’s on the Google play store. It requires an account, but the app automatically makes you one when you use it iirc.
I don’t have answers that haven’t already been said, but I’ll give a recommendation to Seeker as a means of downloading music outside of streaming apps. It’s just a fantastic app for torrenting entire albums from in mp3, ogg, and FLAC format. I’ve downloaded dozens of gigs of music off it so far and will likely have to grab a terabyte micro SD card for my phone.
i am talking about the best ones suggest video name , channel and a description. Some of my recommendations are nile red , vsause and sometimes ididathing.
Heavy bass can sound muffled and undetailed Excess treble can feel piercing, grating, fatiguing. And of course excess volume causes hearing damage. Mawp.
Not exactly what you’re asking for but it’s sort of related: My favorite “botched stunt that made it into the final cut” has to be the one from Road Warrior. You know the one.
