I’m nearly 48 and there’s a few special-effects scenes that have made me “drop my popcorn” over the years: The Star Destroyer at the beginning of Star Was (yes, saw the original in the theater), the brontosaurus reveal in Jurassic Park, the first bullet-time sequence with Trinity in The Matrix and then ID4 blowing up…

Can I assume the light on the controller is still bright AF? I had to put tape over mine in order to play in the dark (can’t stand excessive ambient lights)

I didn’t even know there was an XBox One S Digital Edition.

I’m not a commercial landlord but have just a couple residential rental properties. Sometimes it would be better to just have the place empty than a tenant that can’t pay the rent (even if partially). I still have bills such as utilities, wear and tear, etc. If what I have coming in from the tenant won’t even cover…

I think they’re trying to prevent people from installing them in poorly ventilated TV stands. I keep my current consoles in there but modified them by cutting out the back and installing cooling fans (and keep the front doors open while using them). Never had an issue but I bet many people just put them in there, wire…

I don’t want shitty white people in my life... full stop. No exceptions.

Still planning on getting both the Series X and PS5 but nothing with the launch lineups has convinced me I need these at launch (outside of Cyberpunk). Probably pick up a Series X this holiday season for Cyberpunk then a PS5 later.

It was only about a decade ago I learned tequila is very varied. I had gone my whole life basically thinking it was pretty much the same stuff. While at a conference I went to an upscale Mexican restaurant in New Orleans and they wheeled out a tequila cart with about 75 varieties and we could do tastings and choose…

We just refinanced to a 30 year. Figured out how much extra we need to pay to have it paid off in 15. There wasn’t much advantage to the 15 year (given our current situation, the slightly lower interest rate with a 15 year wasn’t much of a difference). We decided we liked the flexibility of a lower monthly payment if…

I’ve been using it quite a bit in the beta for the last 3 weeks or so (mostly if my son is using the TV to watch something or laying in bed to “hang out” with my wife while she’s watching something. It works well. I’ve had barely any video stutters but the occasional audio stutter. I’m enjoying it. I’ve been using to…

I’m about 50% convinced that if he wins this election, it might be the last election we have. Especially if Dems can’t take control of both houses. He’ll spend 4 years burning everything that’s left to be burnt and doing everything he can to eliminate the 2-term limit (and we know the GOP will let him).

I’m nearly 48…

I forgot American Dad was a thing once I wasn’t able to watch it streaming on the platforms I subscribe to. Can only get the first 14 seasons on Hulu.

It’s already been 10 years? Holy....

This series is like GOT to me. I enjoyed the ride, but no desire to revisit or rewatch it. For both, I they had a more satisfying ending that would make me want to rewatch. Especially for Lost where every week I’d be on forums discussing the hints and theories, etc. Would have been…

Imagine seeing “The extrajudicial killings of black people must stop” and thinking “I don’t agree with that. In fact, I disagree with it so much I’m not going to visit a website for even suggesting it.”

Wow, just wow. No no...please don’t go. No....stop....

How much could Tesla sell a Model3-sized car for if they stripped out all the fancy tech besides the battery/range....such as all the cameras/autopilot stuff, etc. Instead of making a smaller car with all the same tech, I mean.

Orange Soda makes a great float (like a creamscicle). Birch beer also makes a great float.

Refer to article title. Now you know you’re an asshole.

I barely have time to play games anymore, but the ones that come to mind off the top of my head that I’ve played with the wife between XBOX and PS4 in the last couple of years: Cuphead, all the Lego Games, Castle Crashers, Death Squared, Lover in a Dangerous Spacetime, Overcooked (1 and 2), Broforce, BattleBlock…

Dude I’m the same way. I read articles when the pop up (such as this and the big battles, and the factions, etc). I have no idea what’s going but it still fascinates me. Honestly, the game doesn’t even sound that fun (sounds tedious, time consuming and a lot of micro-managing) but I am always fascinated by what’s…

I won’t be using it while out and about but it’ll be nice to be able to play something while laying in bed or while my console/tv is otherwise occupied (ex. my kid is playing a game on the TV but I can still “hang out” on the couch with him and play something on my phone or I can hang out in bed with the wife while…
