That rear projection beast was the best darn television for tests until Pioneer made plasmas. I miss ours deeply and wish we’d had the space to keep it (especially for retro gaming and the yearly playing of the Star Wars laser disk).

I read complicated and dry books as that helps me. I’m reading a Roman history book and an old philosophy book at the moment that I barely make it through a handful or two of pages of either before I’m drowsy. But if I pick up a brilliant piece of literature, I’ll read until dawn with zero issue.

Yup. I’ve been boycotting Nintendo and EA for the past twenty years. EA due to the destruction of countless talented studios (Origin, Bullfrog, Westwood, Pandemic) and Nintendo when they were caught by the EU doing anti-competitive price fixing (which they still seem to be doing today).

I have missed out on nothing. A game is just a game; a piece of multimedia content to entertain. There are countless astonishing games out there; missing out on a few doesn’t harm you.

People really need to learn to vote with their wallets. And no, I don’t think sailing the high seas and yarharhar legal questionability is acceptable. You don’t need to play the game. There is nothing that important you’re missing out on for the “cultural zeitgeist”.

Piracy still increases the fandom and increases sales (contrary to what IP owners will tell you). So piracy is still supporting these organisations and feeding into their success.

Vote with your wallets. Don’t support business practices and businesses you don’t believe in. Give your time and money to those that deserve it.

Wear goggles when you go swimming.

I like to imagine there was a parade of ghosts but they’re all too skeptical to see them.

Love your posts and your little insights and review you share with the screenshots. Thanks for sharing!

This website ruled during lockdowns. Cannot recommend this enough!

Why does the embargo remain? What does the US gain from this? (I’m rather out of the loop)

What’s the reference?

Especially RAID 0.

I just made the jump from Adobe to Serif Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher.

So that’s killed Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign for me.

And I moved to DaVinci from Premiere.

Only tool left is Audition which I’ve found hard to replace (specifically features like the spectral frequency display and the easy ways to cut out very specific frequencies visually).

Fuck Adobe.

Reference for the admission?
