I have a smart watch that can detect when I fall asleep. I would love it if there was a way to sync that time stamp with when I started a movie and automatically fast forward to 5 mins before then.
It would have to be some third party integration so the streaming service doesn’t harvest the data and decide to stop making things I enjoy because I had a long day.
Good Chicken Tikka Masala is good in any vessel. I live in Southern California and there’s a place near me that wraps it in a burrito with basmati rice. The burrito is basically naan and I would argue this is the best format.
15% seems VERY low
This sounds like “facts don’t care about your feelings,” which almost always goes on to cite cherry-picked/non-sensical/incorrect “facts.”
I worked on one of these games (and a PS3 launch title). I feel like this post makes it sound like I should be living in a retirement home instead of still trying to figure out how to become a first time home owner.
I’ve still got some invites if anyone needs them.
Two car related pranks:
We lived near a mall with a giant parking lot and cars were always driving really slow while not looking where they were going. We were dumb kids who learned how to take a spill without hurting ourselves from thousands of hours practicing skate tricks. If we were walking through the parking lot and noticed that a driver hadn’t looked in our direction at all, we would roll across the hood of their car and either off the same or opposite side (never the front). People freaked the fuck out and often offered us money. We thought we were doing a public service by teaching them to pay attention by scaring the shit out of them.
We would get the biggest soda cup from 7-11 and instead of filling it with soda, we would put some rare earth magnets inside it and slap in on the roof of our car. That bitch wasn’t going anywhere. People would wave at us and try to get our attention, we’d just smile and wave back. They’d shout and point up and we’d shrug and point at our ears like we couldn’t hear them. This mostly happened at stoplights. While driving, people were usually trying to work out the physics of it not moving. We took it on the highway a few times and thought the cup would tear itself apart, but it didn’t even crack. At that speed, folks caught on real quick and we saw a few bust up laughing.
I mean, it’s not like this really tests their acting chops. It’s a fun flick, but don’t get your hopes too high. 😅
Best I can do is Helen Mirren with Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley as a book club at a retirement home that solves the first real murder after only previously reading about them. David Tenant is the antagonist and Tom Ellis (of Lucifer) as Pierce Brosnan’s son.
This episode ends with Homer falling into the real world. 14 year old me was CONVINCED that this meant all future episodes of The Simpsons would be a blend of live action and CGI, à la Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
So do you grow your own food and harvest your own electricity and smelt you own ore to make your own electronic devices to post on the internet that you’re accessing via your own isp?
“Small business owners” feels like an arbitrary line. Sure, there’s those that are doing it because they’re bootlickers and capitalists, but restaurants are terrible investments. If you’re avoiding chains and conglomerates, you’re more likely to be supporting a comrade who is trying to survive in a capitalist country. This is not an ACAB situation. There are employee owned small businesses and work places that treat workers fairly.
Silver lining: It’s hard to hold a grudge when you forgot that you were angry at someone (or why).
Starting w/ M4 MacBook Pros, the anti reflective screen option is shockingly good.
This article is sensationalizing a non-issue. It reads like the author went to the convention with the story already written and then tried (and failed) to find people that supported the premise.
As someone who attended GDC for the full week this year, I can tell you that not a single conversation I had or panel I attended discussed the RAM shortage. I’m sure this topic arose in some circles, especially anything related to the timing or cost of next gen hardware. As a professional AAA game designer of 25 years and an occasional game director, this does not affect the way that the games themselves are made. Games on consoles already have their limitations, games on PC should always be (but not always are) optimized to work across a broad spectrum of hardware configurations, with the minimum spec being the lowest system possible without sacrificing playability.
Even people interviewed in the article are saying the same thing:
“Does this affect us? No,” Subotnick said. “We’re making games on as many platforms as we can to delight consumers. Could it impact us? Sure. If there’s less devices for people to get their hands on, then we potentially have less consumers to sell to. But right now, I’d argue that there are plenty of consumers with plenty of devices for us to sell these games to. Where it could impact us is, sure, we will have to make decisions around next-gen platforms when they tell us that it’s time to bring content to them. And if they are threatened to have a total addressable market that is viable from a business standpoint, sure that’s a business challenge. But right now all I’d be doing is speculating on a bunch of hypotheticals.”

I mean, it’s a hot take, I’ll give you that. I can’t agree with it, though. Every line of dialogue in that film moves plot. It’s really well edited and far ahead of its time. Modern cinema owes a lot to the lessons taught by Casablanca.
Inception isn’t that great.
It’s complex for the sake of complexity and the complication needlessly makes the story more difficult to parse. The revelation about there being an additional layer before reality is such an overused trope that it wasn’t an interesting twist and added nothing to the plot.
I’ve never had tuna salad with avocado, and now I really want to try it. Thanks for this!
