The thing is, this “higher quality” version is really not good. The individual samples are higher resolution but the mix does not gel. “It sounds like MIDI,” as a friend of mine said about some video game music of the late 90s.

This version is not the music exactly as the composer intended it. It’s a remake, an…

I was kind of looking for an excuse to stop using Plex, and I guess this is it.

Somebody send this guy a copy of Snow Crash... wait, that one was literally given an award by a Libertarian group for depicting “utopia.”

Fabricants are like any other machine - they’re either a benefit or a hazard.

I must have blinked and missed the thing with the bomb.

I know she tried the helmet mic, but she literally wrote software to make ship drives blow up back in her former life, so... eh.

One thing that has bugged me about the last few episodes is we never see Naomi even thinking about trying to disarm the bomb, nor breach whatever security is locking her out of comms and ship control.

If we had something to show us that it wasn’t feasible, I think it would have worked better.

The juice isn’t a guarantee, but yeah, a little advance setup would have helped.  It felt very much like a “leaf on the wind” moment except with the extra awkwardness of knowing it happened specifically so they could dump the actor.

It might run Doom though.

More algorithmic phrenology.

I am on board with all of this. There was some outside the box thinking here and it just works.

I really wonder who Death, Delirium and Desire will be.

I feel like it was weird that the UN attack on Pallas happened completely off-camera and then we saw zero Belter reactions to it.

And it’s weird to think there’s just one episode left, too.

I’m still trying to understand Cate Blanchett as Lilith, and now this choice just makes my head hurt.

So at this point, my predictions are: 
Brick: Leo DeCaprio
Mordecai: Amy Shumer with a fake mustache
Scooter: Sir Ian McKellen
Claptrap: Wesley Snipes

I’m used to thinking of it as the cheesy demo song on a Yamaha SHS-10 keytar. Whether that makes it better or worse, I’m really not sure.

But then there’s this:

(bleh, if image isn’t showing up or if it’s in here three times, I blame Kinja.)

I found that the “best face Mask for glasses wearers” from Conico (conicoshop.com or Etsy) doesn’t fog up much. I make sure the nose part is way up high (almost in my eyes) and my glasses perch on them, helping to close it off.

Also they are one of the few masks with ear loops that I find comfortable. Before I found…

Sure am glad I never gave Facebook my phone number “for added security purposes”

“Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime”

I just watched it yesterday and I agree, it wasn’t hard to follow but the extra lore bit did clarify some stuff.

Also, “feces are baby mice” is where I lost it.  Although “Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?” is great too...

Also, I don’t really think there’s anything wrong with using dead memes.

It bothers me I can’t remember what happens with Karal in the books, but in the TV show she needs either a real quick redemption or for Drummer to shove her out an airlock. I’m getting real tired of her shit.

I’m still not sure whether “XBox Series X” is better or worse than “Wii U” (I look just like Buddy Holly)
