The ‘best printer’ category winner every year is whatever Brother laser printer is on sale during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 4 weeks ago:
What I meant by drives are NAS. I buy the drives on sale spin up a new array, migrate the data, and redirect the mount point.
I use to cold store until I realized that unless I have access to it, it might as well not exist. Now I keep everything live, even backups going back to 1997.
The only data I have “lost” are copies of my old warez CDs from eastern Europe because I have no idea where I have stashed them, and a pack of Zip Disks because I have no functioning Zip Drive.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 4 weeks ago:
I have a crate of old hard drives going back to the late nineties. Am I the only person that migrates the data to new drives regularly? At this point it is a yearly tradition for me to pick up larger drives during the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales. Why rely on old 4tb drives when you can move them all to fresh 14tb drives?
- Comment on Spray Paint Simulator looks like it will suck me in as badly as PowerWash Simulator did 4 weeks ago:
I remember when SkillUp tweeted something making fun of the upcoming Powerwash Simulator. I told him that I unironically thought it would be amazing and I dared him to play it. Soon a bunch of people chimed in to agree, so he gave it a shot. Next thing you know, he was hooked.
Such a satisfying time killer.

They can’t even offer a linux native XBox XCloud client that launches directly from Steam. How hard can that possibly be?

The video game is fairly tame when it comes to themes like this, when compared to the source material and genre as a whole.

Harder to explain is the order to play them in.

The Pope: Yes.
AI Priest: Water. Like out the toilet?
The Pope: Well, I mean, it doesn’t have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that’s the idea.
AI Priest: But Gatorade’s got what souls crave. It’s got electrolytes.

- Comment on Dakota Johnson on ‘Madame Web’ Blowback: “I’ll Never Do Anything Like It Again” 7 months ago:
The best known opposite example is Star Wars (A New Hope). When George Lucas screened it for Spielberg, Spielberg didn’t know how to tell George how terrible it was without ruining their friendship. George gave his steaming pile of shit to his wife and she and her editing partner literally built the classic we know today from it. George learned his lesson and gave Empire to someone else to direct and his wife to edit.
- Comment on Inside the Coyote vs. Acme Rollercoaster From a Voice Actor at the Front of the Campaign to Save It 7 months ago:
I watched a studio copy of Ford vs Ferrari months before it hit theaters. They definitely leak.
- Comment on Inside the Coyote vs. Acme Rollercoaster From a Voice Actor at the Front of the Campaign to Save It 7 months ago:
They are taking a $70+ mil write-off. Rumors say that Netflix offered $40million but the write off is more attractive.
As someone else commented, if WB got a $40mill offer, they should only be allowed to take a $30mill write off.
- Comment on Inside the Coyote vs. Acme Rollercoaster From a Voice Actor at the Front of the Campaign to Save It 7 months ago:
They aren’t shelving it. From what I understand, they are completely deleting it from existence order to get the full write-off.
- Comment on Inside the Coyote vs. Acme Rollercoaster From a Voice Actor at the Front of the Campaign to Save It 7 months ago:
Is it even pirating at that point? WB gets their tax write off regardless. At least the artists work gets to see the light of day.
- Comment on Inside the Coyote vs. Acme Rollercoaster From a Voice Actor at the Front of the Campaign to Save It 7 months ago:
If WB ultimately kills it, I hope it leaks and it’s pirated far and wide.
