It does. There are some upsides, though. One bonus is that, at least in some small ways, some of these shitbag companies that have acted terribly in the past are letting up because we have options. We don’t have to rely on a couple of big studios for every game we play. So EA has backed off of their terrible launcher.

I also think it’s kind of cool that any schmuck can make their dream come true. I’ve definitely put out a bunch of music that I don’t market, just because I always wanted to do it. Anyone with an idea and a laptop can code up a game. The ridiculous amount of shovelware aside, I think that’s pretty cool.

I just wish there was a better way to sift through the dreck to find the good stuff.

I spent some time up there and I was surprised to find very similar sentiments to what I see here in Texas. Yee haw, fuck the law.

I have a few of these running HoloISO running around the house to stream graphic intense games from my main rig and to run smaller games locally. Runs fine with a 680m iGPU and I never have to leave the room I’m in (garage included) to play games if I want.

It cost more than a console, but far less than the 5 consoles I’d have to put out for that kind of convenience.

I thought you could hide those now.

None of who appear to be theirs.

If the owner doesn’t enthusiastically want me there then I’m happy to slide in somewhere I’m welcome. I’ll never force my way in (unless they’re into that sort of thing).

I like to just slide in, get what I need, then slip on out. Sometimes I’ll even use the back door.

Not just that, but this guy has been so over the top idiotic about everything that it’s hard to keep any level of give-a-shit for long about any of it. His presidency was exhausting because of it.

That’s someone whose job is to liaise and advocate for actors to the production crew for intimate scenes, especially nude and sex scenes.

Or the Statue of Unity! Even Christ the Redeemer is taller than Mount Rushmore.

I didn’t really think of it that way because I can’t imagine really advising people to stop working once they have $10k in the bank. That seems like a recipe for disaster.

However, you are technically correct. The best kind of correct. I hereby promote you to grade 37.

If you have 7 figures saved and don’t have it properly invested you’re losing money at the rate of inflation minus the paltry interest rate you’re getting from the bank.

Except for retirement accounts, the middle class and lower keep most of their money (I would guess most times it’s all of their money) in banks because it’s easy to make it liquid. On any given day you may have to spend it.

I’m going to share something that you may know, but I certainly didn’t realize back when I watched it the first time.

Psych is the Sherlock Holmes formula with his dad playing a Mycroft-like role.

I think of him as an ex-cop with a psychic son.

Now do Riker. Don’t forget his trombone. He definitely fucked that thing.

I have a King trigger trombone in storage that I haven’t played in a couple of decades and change. I kind of want to go get it and give this a shot to see if I get the joke. But that may be more effort than I’m willing to put in.

I’m almost wondering if they’ll spin off a couple of characters into a new Trek. I’d watch the shit out of Rutherford doing crazy engineering stuff on a flagship.

Spending a lot of time at the bar is the key. It also depends on what kind of cruise you’re on. If you’re on a family cruise the odds are way down.

But the people who proposition you aren’t always going to be the people you’d want to have a threesome with.

I keep hoping he goes somewhere else.

That’s where I get all my movie recommendations. I’ve seen most of them but once in a while I find a new one and get way too excited.

I love garbage movies.
