Nervously looking out the window to see what their crazy neighbor is going to do next

I remember searching stack overflow for a oddly specific issue and found a post about it with an answer. The person who asked the question was me 6 years ago.

It’s probably obnoxious in real life but I really wanna do the ZZ Top ringtone from Bad Monkey

Worst thing about someone watching a reel out loud is you hear the same 15 second sound bite 30 times while they’re reading the comments.

So what you’re saying is we need to go back and hunt down Richard BMW

Long story short they turn songs into digital fingerprints, where it can be stored in a tiny way. When you start recording you’re making a fingerprint as well. Then it just starts testing yours against its database.

The Leftovers. If I were to ever put together a top 10 list of personal favorites, this would be at the top then in a distant second I could start ranking the rest. I love how fully realized its concepts were. I love how it stuck true to its convictions right up to the end. I love the mashup of science fiction and fantasy and grief and contemporary life. I love the beautiful Max Richter score. For a show that starts pretty bleak in the first few episodes you really feel the love and warmth by the end of the series and the discovery of inner piece.

I always like to add this caveat to anyone jumping in, the first half of season one can be tough. Episode 3 is a good taste of what the show is at its best and episode 6 is one of the best in the series and the point where most people are fully hooked.

Girl Talk in 09 in Vancouver. We were early at the venue and they were selecting a few people to be up on stage for the whole show. Never sweat so hard in my life.

Same. I’m still primarily a Plex user for the player (it’s just easier for sharing libraries with everyone) but I love the arr stuff. Just got readarr setup for audio books and audiobookshelf for the player which is really nice.

Probably my favorite feature of the arr suite is in Radarr and list subscribing. I’ve got mine connected to some good letterboxd lists along with things like tmdb popular to keep my library up to date with recent stuff. Also there’s some podcasts I listen to like The Rewatchables. I just subscribe to the lists of movies on letterboxd and I can easily keep up with the podcast.

“Mr Rogers miraculously raises from the dead only to go around diddling kids”

Is this a reference to someone?

No, none of the consoles require a subscription. You add it on if you want the extras and multiplayer.

“like that one time I was on Dragon Ball Z”

Looking back now the whole family schitk was pretty lazy and could be applied to anything but damn was it effective.

I’ve been trying to carefully navigate this. Got her into Totoro when she was really young, like 20 months. Then a little after 2 we started watching Spirited Away. She loves them. I can’t always control what she watches but I’m gonna do my best to imbue some of my tastes into her.

Not sure which collection you’re playing but there’s basically two types of Castlevania games. There’s the ones modeled after the first game, the Richter style games. A linear platformer, many have frustrating controls. I generally hate these ones. Then there’s the ones that spawned from Symphony of the Night that gave the Vania in the Metroidvania genre games. These rock and most of them are generally pretty good.

It was truly cursed. God forbid you had the DOS port which was actually unbeatable due to an impossible jump.

Preach. I don’t even have a window on mine. I want my machine to blend into the room. All the showy stuff feels like you need to show off to justify the price.

Honestly it’s the social aspect. Everyone I know uses Spotify, so sharing playlists and tracks are super easy. I know there’s converters out there but I can’t be arsed to do that every time I want to send or receive a link. I’ve also got some shared playlists between friends we all contribute to. At social gathering I can turn on the party mode or whatever it’s called and let people add stuff to the queue. The big one though is I’ve got a few friends with really good taste. I can check in on them from time to time to see what they’re listening to right now. Found a lot of great stuff this way.
