I love Midnight Club 3 so much. That and Black just seemed (to me) to just push the envelope of what the PS2 could do. They’re gorgeous. Black can output 480p, and even with all the crazy physics and detailed textures, it never seems to experience slowdown.

Meals like this are exactly why I don’t ever use condensed soup in anything I make. I’ve had a lot of meals like that growing up. My family, my grandparents, my friends families… My wife still will make stuff like this sometimes. It’s all just lazy mush to me. I can’t stand it. Even my mother-in-law, who makes her own soup stock and makes bread and has her own chickens will make condensed soup and canned green bean mush. I just do not understand.

Similar experience in rural Michigan, same time period. I’m sure that’s how my mom grew up as well. Fresh veggies were quite available out there, but we still got canned. My grandma wasn’t a great cook, and even though my mother has a ton of fantastic skills, cooking isn’t one of them.

Oh man… my mom called it “rice stuff.” It tasted like it looked.

“The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back, turn back!”

Wipeout 3 had an awesome soundtrack. I’ve probably listened to it more than I’ve played it.

I’m surprised I don’t see Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek Next Generation here yet.

I sooo wanted to rewatch that. But I just cannot get past the special effects these days. I thought it was great when it was on, now it’s unwatchable for me. It’s like, Playstation 1 cutscenes: the show.

I don’t know. I live a good female lead. Ripley, Furiosa, Marge Gunderson. There’s so many, that’s just the first three that come to mind. Half the time when I’m playing Fallout, it’s female characters.

There are definitely bad female leads in things, too. Just like there are bad male leads. Like, Borderlands 3, basically unplayable. I never finished it. And I really want to be clear, the characters aren’t bad because they are women, they are bad due to poor writing. That game had such potential, but it felt like the script was written entirely by highschoolers.

It’s from The Room, it’s a fantastic movie

A lot of people can get a good handle on the cut segment of the course, but when it comes to the uncut they seem to slip right through the cracks.

Thank you. Thankfully, she didn’t pass from covid, it was the culmination of her dementia. She didn’t even know there was a pandemic going on. Covid did affect me visiting her, but I did still get to say goodbye we. I was even one of the 10 people allowed at her funeral. She hadn’t been well for a long time, and it was really unfortunate that she didn’t pass before the pandemic, and more of her relatives would have been able to be there and we could have really celebrated her. I loved her dearly, and she deserved so much more.

Ah, I do recall that tale from my old life in that place. The beforetimes.

It’s just minor radiation exposure. Only 3 mSv. That’s barely 30 chest X-rays, or 150 seven hour flights!

Wait… dickS?

My father was a penis inspector, like his father before him. He had to work for years at a penis factory to get by, working long, hard hours. All while taking penis inspection classes at night. When he finally graduated, he said it was so satisfying to tell his boss he was quitting, and that from now on he would be inspecting his work. He went on to be the best penis inspector in our county, and oversaw Penis Inspection Day at 4 public schools and 7 private for over three decades.

The fact that they think they can automate this entire proud profession with one scanner in a public bathroom is an insulting joke. It’s a single camera! How will it check the underside of the shaft for melanoma? Can it check the foreskin for proper length and cleanliness?? How does it check erection durometer? Not to mention urethral diameter. For fuck’s sake.

Because my S10 died a day before a business trip, and they had it in-stock.

Oh, I have the 24+, I guess. It’s way too big. The S10 was an OK size, but I want smaller than that even.

No way. I have an S24, and this thing is huge compared to my S10. Which was already bigger than I wanted. The last phone I’ve had that I liked the size of was the S6.

I definitely would love a 4.2" slab.

I thought about the 1 IV, because it still had a headphone jack. But there was a deal going for the S24. That’s how they get ya.

How are you doing? This is pretty big news.
