How much attention is paid? I frequently throw on YouTube for background noise. I only hit up Netflix or Disney if I actually want to watch something. I bet I’m not alone.

Yeah, Wood Man might be my #2. Possibly Metal man, too, though.

Mega Man 2, Wily Stage 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbfpkByIM8&pp=ygUdbWVnYSBtYW4gMiB3aWx5IHN0YWdlIDEgbXVzaWM%3D

Heck. Half the Mega Man 2 sound track is probably in the top ten.

The removal of YouTube dislike is still fucking infuriating to me. I get it: now I have to watch the video to find out if it’s a piece of shit, and that’s exactly what they want, but holy fuck what a shitty decision designed to waste my time and maximize their chances to flash an ad in my face.

Ubuntu 6 on a Samsung laptop I had lying around 2006ish. The webcam and trackpad wouldn’t work, but a mouse and not caring about the webcam made that tolerable. It was the only OS I ran for a year or so. I went back to Windows for gaming shortly afterwards, but have been using Linux off-and-on in some form ever since.

Power to them. I’m sure Hollow Knight made them all independently wealthy. I’d be hard pressed to bother to work too hard, too.

Well, that’s depressing. Where’s my Star Trek future?

Not only that, but Google assistant is getting consistently less reliable. Like half the time now I ask it a question and it just does an image search or something or completely misunderstands me in some other manner. They deserted working, decent tech for unreliable, unwanted tech because ???

I made a game in Blender! Like the other reply said, it used to have a game engine built-in.

Anyone telling you they can hear the difference between a 320kbps MP3 and lossless audio is full of shit, anyway. It’s still a great format for keeping file sizes small, though I prefer ogg these days.

Well honestly, I’ve got enough Steam games to last me the rest of my life probably. If I ever really get the urge to play Okami again and it’s still not available here, I’ll explore my yo-ho-ho options. Still, I’d rather throw them the $5 the price regularly gets down to on Steam for the convenience.

Still waiting for the first to be available on PC in Korea. It’s weird. They registered it here, then never released it. No clue why not.

I’ve already gone through it twice on PS2 and Wii. One of my favorite games of all time.

I don’t mind. Fewer choices. It’s only on Epic? It doesn’t exist.

I understand. I throw obscene amounts of money at the cash black hole that is rent. I understand entirely how people think that people who make money simply by sitting on assets they own and otherwise provide nothing to society should be, ahem, obliterated. I just think it’s still possible to obliterate them with regulations instead of actual murder.

power doesn’t just fucking let you do whatever you want.

No, but power can be subverted. Maybe I’m hopelessly optimistic, but I think there’s still a non-violent solution.

I get the violent rhetoric, I really do. But, at the same time, I can’t help but feel like more people would be more amenable to social reform that benefits the little guy to the mere detriment of the rich, rather than murdering them horribly. I could be wrong, but doesn’t history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?

60s-70s rock is pretty darn good, but like you say, there are a lot of people who think music begins and ends there. They’re so wrong.

Works great for me. Definitely not as many seeders as they were during it’s heyday, but still a decent number. I’ve downloaded a couple semi-obscure films in the past couple of months and they downloaded just fine in an hour-or-two even with only one seed.

Yeah, for every Pearl Jam, Nirvana, or Soundgarden, there was a Counting Crows, Bush, or Ben Folds Five. Not to mention the boy bands that absolutely dominated the late 90s charts.

This is most evident when it comes to music. I see loads of older musicians, producers, and listeners constantly trashing new music, when the reality is there is loads of great, new music coming into existence regularly. It’s just harder to find since the tools are so accessible now, everyone and his dog can make a “professional” sounding recording. And then, the top 40 or whatever has always just been the lowest common denominator.
