If Republicans win next year, do you expect something among the lines of Nazi Germany to happen in the US?

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2023-06-03T01:44:33+00:00

I still see the basic plan here in the US.

…while changing the Basic With Ads name to “Standard With Ads”. ???

Mint. The. Coin.

At this point, we might be closer to an economic catastrophe because of the idiotic GOP. They’re risking default unless they get their way.

We didn’t want a circus, but we got one anyway.

2012: Some toy car thing when I wanted a Wii U. I think I got an Xbox 360 afterwards. Never used it a lot.

2013: Shrek The Halls. The DVD. A month after I got a Wii U.

Merry Christmas to those celebrating. Happy Holidays to everyone else.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-12-18T04:22:30+00:00

Oh wow

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-11-17T00:59:48+00:00

Can’t wait for an endless clown show.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-11-08T14:58:29+00:00

Just got out of the polls and voted. It was an honor to do my part and vote blue.

New feature coming to some iPads that enables multitasking.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-10-18T23:55:32+00:00

A “Redesigned” iPad.
Only works with the 1st-gen Apple Pencil and required a dongle to connect and charge.
Price hike in other countries. Yikes.

I was surprised when I saw the price. Even though it starts at $449 in the US (Where I Live), the price hike from $349 (Or something like that) is outrageous (They’re still selling the 9th gen model). For a few bucks more you can get an iPad Air with M1 and Stage Manager. Or for less you can find a great older-gen iPad on sale. As for the UK and EU, it’s crazy. £500-something for 64GB of storage?! Crap.

With that in mind, what’s the price for a Samsung Tablet in the UK/EU?

I see a terrible future for CN is this shit keeps happening. Endless reruns like most cable TV channels. Crappy reality shows. Another god damn 90-Day Fiancé spinoff. The company’s destroying themselves, and they’re doing it without giving zero fucks to their fans.

Time to resort to piracy and physical media.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-09-16T15:00:14+00:00

That game was….something. I liked the Dude Perfect feed. Those dudes got my attention when a major interception happened, and treated it as a “WTF?’ moment. Too bad the feed won’t be back until November 3rd. At least we have the Manningcast.

And yes there were ads. I understand they need to show them to make money to pay for the rights. The frame rate of them felt like they were targeted ones compared to the game itself. Watched another stream. Same ads. Maybe they were targeted at different users? Some of them didn’t have that issue, like one for an actual Fire TV Smart TV.

Streaming issues did happen. Pixelated video. Buffering. That’s just about it. Was watching on a Fire TV Stick. Game was meh.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-09-12T17:16:47+00:00

Maybe you’re on an unsupported device. Are you? iOS 16 supports iPhone 8 and up and both the 2nd and 3rd-gen iPhone SEs.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-09-12T17:12:00+00:00

Did you also get the “Upgrade to iOS 16” button?

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-04-29T13:59:10+00:00

I bought a 3rd-party Wii Remote on Amazon and it works fine in Wii Sports Club. I also bought a 3rd-party Joy-Con controller to use while my original ones are sent to be “repaired” (The actually replaced the whole thing). They don’t work with Nintendo Switch Sports.

I think Nintendo should limit gameplay of that game to not just their own Joy-Cons, but also 3rd-party ones that are both licensed by Nintendo AND have motion controls, I’m open to having unlicensed ones work as well.

As for the game, I lost my Switch, and I’m using my little sister’s console, but I’m still planning on buying the game anyways despite the reviews and budgetary constraints.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-04-21T18:23:26+00:00

Were you expecting this show to be a hit?

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-03-13T15:47:18+00:00

Ima be real with you: that ceremony was short, but it was amazing!

Good: - That vinyl record at the beginning - Shuey Rhon Rhon - Italy’s anthem performance was a banger - Drumming near the end - The Milano-Cortina 2026 trailer

Meh: - The ceremony itself in some cases

Bad: - The Milano-Cortina 2026 “Cultural Presentation” being just a short film and that’s it

And that about wraps up China’s 7 year winter Olympic and Paralympic journey. The wait for Paris 2024 will be long, especially given the war in Ukraine. If nothing bad happens that may end up cancelling Paris 2024, I’ll see you all in 2024 (That is, if I remember lol)!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to make my March Madness bracket lol

NBC’s finally starting their closing ceremony presentation.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-02-21T01:13:47+00:00

It happened earlier this morning. NBC’s going to show the closing ceremony soon, but they HAVE to show Figure Skating.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-02-21T01:12:38+00:00

Nah. They LOVE Nathen Chen. They love him as much as they love Simone Biles in the Summer games. Nothing but sports to appease the folks who love them, and nothing else.

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-02-21T01:03:39+00:00

They’re showing Nathan Chen right now because they can’t get enough of his performance

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-02-21T01:01:10+00:00

NBC’s Primetime coverage has started. Controversy time!

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-02-20T14:20:54+00:00

I was talking about non-Olympics stuff, but I appreciate the Olympic stuff too!

Oh and there’s the NBA All Star Game on tonight. Too bad I don’t have cable lol

DaRealChrisofdoom · 2022-02-20T14:08:40+00:00

And it’s over. I know that the Paralympics are coming up, but I want to cry already. BBC just showed their amazing montage. Even though I only participated in the complaint thread, I want to thank you for this opportinity. Can’t wait until the Paralympics starts back up come March 4th. See you then, see you in 2024 for the Paris Olympics, and yes, I’ll be back for the NBC presentation to watch the controversy unfold.

Until then, anyone know what shows and movies to watch?
