That’s also a solid option! I also have an M1 MBP but I like also having a desktop device set up in my studio. I’m weird. 😂

I’m really glad that Apple has a strong and regularly updated Mac mini in the lineup again. The iMac’s value proposition has always been a little sketchy for me.

50% water/50% alligator/50% Dodge Chargers and Challengers.

Fetterman definitely gets it. His whole “who the fuck are you other than someone who isn’t worth my time” vibe is perfect.

Whether it’s effective at resonating with online communities or showcasing Biden’s disconnection with them, is up for discussion.

I’d love to see a new Fallout game. I know these things operate mostly independently, but it’s kind of lousy timing that the most recent Fallout game will have been out for six years when the TV series drops, with no new one on the horizon; it’s entirely possible, though, that they’ll announce one in the run-up to the…

Yeah, my first thought was either it’s a subverted trope or not a reference at all - Akira didn’t event laying motorcycles down for heaven’s sake. In the clip, it looks like she’s trying to hastily avoid running into a barricade.

Pitfall Harry?

We’ll have to wait until his shift at the bootlicking kiosk is over to see his reaction.

Thanks for the heads-up.

It can be funny in certain contexts, I think, maybe like where it’s just lurking in the background like it does in WWDITS. But yeah, constant overt jokes are a bit much.

That sucks (and I say that as someone who’s had two endoscopies this year), but I don’t know what that has to do with a waiver, especially considering that the context you brought it up in is someone suffering grievous injuries, unless it was radically different from the ones I had to sign.

Sure. But the post I was replying to seemed to imply that signing a waiver would mean that he would have absolutely no recourse, as if doing so is absolutely the end of it. A waiver is certainly an additional hurdle, and potentially a very high one, but it’s not a brick wall.

And did you have cause to sue them?

what the hell is that white vision up to?

Waivers aren’t a magic bullet. If the negligence is deemed to be serious enough (and the allegations certainly paint it that way), they won’t protect the production.

It’s a current-gen machine! This generation has been around for a month shy of three years now for heaven’s sake.

Yep, that and “look at these awesome CPU and GPU specs” (and in the case of the PS5 “look at how fast our storage is”) which is fine and normal, but pretty much the opposite of innovation.

The thing that irritates the shit out of me is that unless a game is specifically approved for BC it won’t work even if you have the disc. That potentially removes one of the major appeals of having a drive, at least for me.

I dunno. I could see that happening with a Pro version but like most slim versions this one looks like a more cheaply-built version of the console with the same performance specs. I don’t see any reason to replace either of my PS5s with the new model.
