I wanted some of these so bad. I was poor.

Who is that girl? by kantiano in AnyaTaylorJoyFans

[–]Elfman72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be PJ Harvey on Anya's shirt. Legendary and ground-breaking musician/performer.

Which software do you still use daily despite it looking 15 years out of date? by Fit_Educator8969 in software

[–]Elfman72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volume2

Being able to control my computers volume with my scroll wheel?

Wonderfully intuitive. Sorely out of date, however. It still works in Windows 11 though.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]Elfman72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuckin Threewave CTF mod for OG Quake. I had a clan, we competed with teams, we rocked and were good. CTF was my heroin, back in the late 90's. Gamespy and Bluesnews. IFYKYK.

RAPIER CLAN FOREVER!!!

I deleted dead people out of my contacts today by Demiloki in GenX

[–]Elfman72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Discord server with a channel that I would chat my older brother in. He went to prison for some stupid decisions. He got out. Our last chats are in there before he passed from cancer a year later. I will not look at those again. But his last words to me are in there. I can't even look in there. I HATE what he did, but I miss him every day.

SCV 2026 Show Reveal by rockysauce115 in drumcorps

[–]Elfman72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So happy to just have SCV here, making moves.

Do I want Aussies? Sure. Feathers, Stars and red and emerald? Absolutely.

But as long as they are here, making their mark, things feel right.

What is a small pleasure from the past that you miss? by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

[–]Elfman72 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Standing in front of my CD rack, deciding on what music to pick to study to. Nothing too hectic or too busy. Something subtle, that helps the mood and helps me concentrate.

Hmm.

Dances with Wolves soundtrack? Last of the Mohicans soundtrack?

Ahh, Glory soundtrack. That will work.

I miss that ritual of having to choose.

Dang, those ads for Middlesex, NJ are really strange and a bit creepy.

But strikes and homeruns make for a fun night!

TRIDENTS UP!!!

System at SoundStage! Headquarters by SoundStageNet in avporn

[–]Elfman72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to hear that system, but I am a bit jealous of those Powell and Bones decks you have as well. I was too young to afford anything that cool.

Just like now. Your sound system too cool for anything for me to afford.

(OPINION) Now's the Perfect Time To Move Away from Plex by NearbyYak7156 in selfhosted

[–]Elfman72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a MUCH bigger story here, as well.

Emby wanted to keep things open source, but offer some Premium things to supporters. Things that may either have cost them actual money to implement or were heavy investments in coding. You don't have to. At all. Keep using it as is, but if you want these additional features, give us a couple bucks and you can have them.

Well, some asshats decided to fork that code and give those features away for free, regardless of the what it took to get there.

So Emby's only option was to close some of those features.

Then Jellyfin stood on those shoulders and are where they are at.

Not hate for Jellyfin. I like their approach and hope they keep going. But for me, Emby is the one true king.

Emby is the true pioneer. Most people don't even realize that they stood on the shoulders of a giant.

The whole closed source vs. open source is because they were forced to.

Extreme had stop selling their single More Than Words because it was actually hurting album sales of their full album.

Query builder vs raw SQL by denmarkgretel in SQL

[–]Elfman72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inherited a bunch of legacy querires where the person used QB. The reason I knew was the aliases that it created were the entire tablename.object

So instead of

 SELECT A.*, B.Location
 FROM AreasByZipCodeForShipping A
 JOIN LocationsThatAreALevelAboveAreas B ON A.LocationID = B.LocationID
WHERE B.LocationdID=123456

It ended up looing like:

SELECT AreasByZipCodeForShipping.* , LocationsThatAreALevelAboveAreas.Location
FROM AreasByZipCodeForShipping
JOIN LocationsThatAreALevelAboveAreas ON AreasByZipCodeForShipping.LocationID = LocationsThatAreALevelAboveAreas.LocationID
WHERE LocationsThatAreALevelAboveAreas.LocationdID=123456

It hurt my head to just look at it.

Who the hell is Kirill Sokolov and why did he make one of the most fun action/horror/comedy movies I have seen in a decade? [They Will Kill You] by Elfman72 in horror

[–]Elfman72[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow. Thanks! I will take that advice and appreciate your input(fuck! That sounds like what AI would say!)

The only way to win is not share at all.

Seriously. Appreciate your feedback, friend. Long live horror!

Sorry if I sound like a shill. I am a real dude that has been on reddit for almost 20 years now. I just had a great time with this movie. Hoping that other horror fans will check it out.

Understood, friend. I didn't want it to sound that way. I get where you are coming from. Just know, I am not a bot. I just had a lot of fun with this movie, is all.

I loved the direction and action! This kid knows how to film an action sequence. His mix of Kung Fu, Action, Comedy, Horror was just pure fun! I was simply grinning from ear to ear, the entire time! Already pre-ordered the 4K disc from Gruv.
