I was gifted an iPod way back in ‘09. I was enraged when it sucked up my carefully curated MP3 collection that I had spent weeks crafting (A friend saw my folder structure and was freaking amazed at how organized it is) and threw everything into a mass of crap, almost impossible to navigate. I no longer use that iPod,…

Who doesn’t?

...which makes it nearly useless for the need we’re talking about.

This. 100%. You’re absolutely correct on all counts. 

It doesn’t even have to be eclectic. Garth Brooks isn’t available on Spotify, and he’s about as mundane as it gets. 

Spotify kind of sucks when you don’t have LTE on a tablet though. I mean, yeah, you can possibly tether, but I don’t rely on a data connection for my music 90% of the time. I do explore music on Pandora at times, and use Spotify at home, but on the road? It’s almost always the music that’s stored locally on my phone…

This is a critical failing of Apple. On Windows and Android, you simply have a folder to store that. On many of those devices, you can even put an SD Micro in their and store your music there. That’s what I do. I have a 256GB micro SD that hosts my “My Documents” folder. It’s doubly great when I move to another…

My wife bought a 1st gen iPad on day 1. Even the mention of iTunes makes her want to cuss, and she’s an ordained minister. That ridiculous program is horrible, and yeah, kill it with fire. It forced updates and didn’t properly back up a lot of her content. So there she is, a Theology Student pursuing her masters, with…

One of the more compelling things about the Joker is that his origins are shrouded in mystery. He’s told his origin story more than once, and it never has anything to do with any of the previous stories. He’s any of us, descended into madness.

I like the look, and I think the actor has the laugh down. He’s physically…

Hey, it’s your money. 

For $160-$200, I think I want a little more enthusiasm than “They’re fine.”

I mean, when my wife says “It’s fine,” that means it’s not fine, and the robot from Lost in Space starts telling me DANGER WILL ROBINSON! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! (Sorry for the caps)

And, I mean... they could just bring back the Unicorn and let him be the big bad... :D (Best.Unicorn.EVER!!!!!)

Bring Beebo back or we riot!

I’d seriously like to be able to see why Facebook finds it necessary to show the the exact same fucking post from X friend every single time I look at Facebook... I mean, I’ve seen that post 3200000 times already. Show me something from another friend. Hell, show me something different from THAT friend. Just quit…

Rule #1 of me. Power off my laptop completely, and don’t rely on sleep.

This is the reason.

I can only hope they crack this nut in the near future. My father died of Alzheimer’s related complications, and his last 5 years were pure hell. My mom’s father also had it, as does her oldest sister. We’re pretty sure that my dad’s father also had it, or at least dementia. So I’m a prime candidate, and that…

I’m afraid that this model (Subscription, all you can eat, if I’m not mistaken) won’t get you AAA titles. It’ll get you... frogger clones. Game developers want either an initial $60-$70 payoff for a top tier game, or a constant revenue stream... or both. I don’t know if a little bite of each user paying $10 a month…

Minecraft would like to have a word with you...

So would Super Meat Boy. And Cuphead.

There are so many games that don’t use cutting edge graphics that are phenomenal. 

This is one of the things that drove me from Android Tablets over to my Windows tablet. I went from crappy fremium games to Cuphead, Skyrim, and Civ VI. (Although I tend to prefer Civ IV for gameplay reasons) I’m with you, the games on tablets are mostly underwhelming. (There are exceptions, and most of those are 1:1…

I have a 10" version of this knife that I got used. It’s a workhorse of a knife that I use when I’m afraid to use my pricier knives. It’s been tough as nails, and keeps a reasonable edge throughout. I’ve had that knife for more than 10 years, and I have absolutely no idea how long it was around before that, but damn…
