Graphical improvements have been minimal at best for probably ten years, now. They have to do something. I mean, at least they think they have to do something to justify charging $70 or whatever for a new, AAA game these days.

Not that he couldn't have put together a droid, but that he put this very specific, very integral-to-later-events one together himself. It's ludicrously coincidental.

Yeah, the article mentions her day begins with a 3am alarm, a quick breakfast, and the taping up of blisters.

Cool accomplishment, but it can't have been healthy.

I bought a $10 Bluetooth adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter hole and then an aux cord in our 2010 vehicle. It works significantly more reliably than our other, 2020 vehicle with built-in Bluetooth, touchscreen and all the bells-and-whistles. Seriously, I turn my 2010 car on, "successful connection" every time within seconds. The 2020, I inevitably get failed connections. I don't think my phone has connected to it first try, once. And then sometimes it fails to connect either the audio or the phone calls. Or, I get it connected and my wife gets to the car with her phone and suddenly my Bluetooth connection is gone and we're listening to her phone. It's just infuriating.

Synthesizers and music technology in general.

I could write an essay or two about how much has changed in the past fifty years. Most of it for the better.

Pop quiz: four of the top five most anticipated games are Doom, Gears of War, Perfect Dark, and Assassin's Creed: what year is it?

Cowboy Bebop came out in 1998.

Yay! Now, as soon as it hits 80%ish discount on Steam, it's a purchase!

Yeah, by shooting themselves twice in the back of the head.

Those crazy journalists.

I've hated him since Lost. Possibly even Alias. Stupid mystery box bullcrap, Yeah, some unresolved mystery is fine. Your entire show shouldn't revolve around boatloads of them being insufficiently explained.

I loved Chrome when it was all angular and tabs took up a tiny fraction of the top of the window. Now, everything has to be rounded. Everything. What the fuck is wrong with corners?
