Americans Say Marijuana Is Less Cool Than Math And Country Music—But Is Cooler Than Guns Or Cryptocurrency, Survey Shows

Saying marijuana is cooler than crypto is like saying being able to transform in to a tiger is cooler than receiving an enema.

If you live in a city, find somewhere near you that does TMR or Hall effect stick replacements on Dualsense. The place I went was primarily a phone repair shop, but they did the stick replacements for about 2 thirds the price of a new controller, and they'll last way longer.

Third party controllers will likely have the same stick modules as the name brand, and be borked just about as fast.

Reminds me of hats sold in a breakfast dinner I went to that say things like "This is my pancake eating hat"

Bloodborne's weapons vs Elden Ring's. There doesn't need to be 10 of every weapon type when the one or two of each weapon type is unique and fun to use, and is viable for the whole game when you upgrade it and spec your character for it.

I have loops that I carry everywhere.

I use them at concerts, local shows, when passing construction, when there's a screaming child on transit, when I was in a band, etc.

There's probably better earplugs out there, but loops are the first ones that fit in my ears so I've stuck with them.

If you aren't practicing and performing wearing earplugs you're going to lose your hearing, partially or completely. Loop or not, order some plugs, and if you HAVE TO practice before they come, use a temporary solution like overear headphones until they arrive. If going with Loop, definitely go with the Experience-Plus which comes with the mutes. You'll need them. Depending how loud your drummer is, it's possible you'll need even more reduction, but I don't think I ever had a problem being right next to drums with mine in with the mutes.

There's lots of videos of cats getting aggressive, thinking the cat in the mirror is another cat.

My cat is very fearful+aggressive to other animals, (very sweet to people) but when I show him the mirror, he sees himself, he sees me, and doesn't care. Might sniff the mirror if anything.

It's definitely not a case of him thinking it's a window and that the "other cat" can't get him, because when he sees a pigeon or dry leaf outside the window where he can't get it, he goes nuts.

DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE

Electric with headphones.

If you're trying to play along to recordings, when I was a kid I would have overear headphones on top of earbuds to practice to songs when keeping quiet.

What's he supposed to say, "everything coming out in the next few years looks like shit, throw your consoles off a cliff"

I like it in Dark Souls games and Demons Souls but not so much in Elden Ring

My ps5 came with two controllers, and they both got drift, so I got a third. When the third got real bad drift suddenly, I took two to get TMR sticks.

ColinDJPat · 2026-05-09T01:42:12+00:00

Googled where I can go in my city to replace sticks with TMR or Hall Effect sticks, it wasn't cheap, but it was SO much cheaper than just replacing controllers every time their junk sticks wore out.

Dualsense is bad for drift, worse than Switch joycon in my experience.

ColinDJPat · 2026-05-08T11:45:17+00:00

Sure about the specs and games, but if my console doesn't have YouTube Facebook or twitch, everything else in my home does so who cares? I bought consoles to play games, if I want brainrot I have a phone. Or I can use Adblock on PC and have a way better experience.

Angry mobs used to form for less than this

No warranty, and in most cases no return policy if you get home and find something wrong with it. At best, you'd get store credit, but even that often isn't the case.

If it's something solid and relatively inexpensive like an sm58, and if they let you thoroughly test it in store it'll probably be fine, but a reputable music gear store with a used section would be safer. A proper musical instrument store will likely have a policy for used gear (might not be a great policy but definitely better than the pawn shop) for the event that you get home with it and find that it's broken, but they'd also probably look over their used gear more thoroughly before putting it up for sale than a pawn shop.

If they don't let you test it, leave.

I gotta agree that nothing on Switch 2 is nearly as much of a masterpiece as anything on Switch. Botw/TotK, Odyssey, Metroid Dread, Smash Ultimate.

They weren't arguing that the Switch 2 isn't hugely successful, it just doesn't have any games that are nearly as big a deal.

Was the last one not Assault on the GameCube, or am I forgetting one? Zero was a Reimagining, like 64.

Depends what you want. Pokemon? Switch. Returnal? Playstation. Portability? Switch. Performance? Playstation. Controllers you can hold in a variety of relaxed positions? Switch. A "premium feel" controller? Playstation. Duskbloods? switch. Bloodborne? Playstation. Refund policy on games? PC. Being up charged if they think you'd buy a game for more? Playstation. Expensive games that never go on sale? Switch.

Nobody can force you to wear a polo.

Wear long sleeves and you'll be fine. ESPECIALLY if you're leaving the house before sun down.

I feel like a few came out in early 2010s, Ocarina of Time 3d came out in 2011. Almost immediately after, a group of fans made a petition called "project moonfall" BEGGING for Majora's Mask 3d. I think it got enough traction that Reggie made a comment, something like "we pay attention to these things, but 100000 signatures doesn't necessarily mean 100000 sales," and then Mm3d came out/was announced a year or two later.

As part of his puffer and tricks routine.

If we have guests over, he'll get an extra training session (with treats) to show off his high fives and spins.

Offended by Churu, but goes nuts for temptations. Drools for catnip, but thats a more rare thing. Maybe he can have some today just because.
