@Macross you wanna borrow my entire mp3 collection while you get better from that bronchitis? :blobsmile:
(er, i meant physical CD collection stored in many actual boxes)
@Macross I actually finally ponied up for Plex Pass since they added a DVR for my HDHomeRun TV antenna. I'm probably the 11th user overall for that feature
@Macross Ohh, I have not tried this PlexAMP thing
@Macross oh nice PlexAMP plays FLAC files and tells me I’m old 😅
Unexpectedly interested in this boring-ass new tablet + stand from Google. I want to plonk it down on our kitchen counter and leave it there, except for occasionally picking it up for random things and recipes

Holy crap, this Cubase64 audio demo just melted my brain

Disappointed to have come up empty-handed while looking for a video reference to "DAMN THESE VISIBLE THOUGHT BALLOONS" from the old MTV show "The Idiot Box"
But, I might have just found it!

Sigh. I was going to sleep a little bit on this new $70 Zelda game, but my will may fail.
In recent years, I've mostly refused to buy any game for over $50, let alone right at launch, patient instead to wait for sales or Game Pass availability.
But, if any game's worth $70 it might be a good Legend of Zelda release
@misc Heh, I should edit that to add a description on how to use it (i.e. paste into the JS console from a page on substack where you're logged into your account)
@randomgeek Clearly a missed opportunity for chaotic evil thoughtleadership
But seriously, if you're going to try to sell a game for $70, it had better be a ridiculously immaculate gem of gaming history in the making with zarro boogs, no micro-transactions, and years of fun in store.
Otherwise, set your price goals quite a bit lower and scale back the effort.
@randomgeek Yeah, whenever I see opportunities for chaos, I remember that I'm the type who takes the shopping cart back to the store
Like, for $70, I can and will absolutely buy 5 amazing indie titles at $14 and have a happy blast even (or especially) if they're composed of MS Paint graphics and audio from sampled mouth noises and crash if I shift my butt the wrong way on the couch.
There’s been a v1.4 update to @ivory and they shipped a new UI for describing image uploads! Very nice!
Oh to be an orange boy on a sunny day 😺
@oliphant @angusm@mastodon.social @pluralistic Blindsight was one of the first books to get "Necker cube" stuck in my head as a term for that thing I kept forgetting how to describe 😅
@rlonstein @darkuncle One unfortunate thing is that Nintendo is also patient and very rarely sells anything at a significant discount. Like Pokemon Shield from 2019 still sells for $60, same as on release day
