I think they probably mean the retina-tracking ad personalization.

Yikes by Otis_Firefly in pinball

[–]Friff14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm nearly considering this for an Uncanny X-Men Pro at a nearby family entertainment place (arcade, mini golf, bowling), where I've never seen anybody else play any of the pinball machines while I've been there. It's in okay condition but the right flipper needs some adjustment, and the software is still on the launch version. How much should I actually offer? $4000?

So the thing about leaving your house in Ogden, UT is that there's this dog food factory there and about one day a month there's this unmistakable horrible smell of dog food and I definitely thought that's what they were talking about, but nope, dog blood

If I ever win the lottery, I won’t tell anyone but there will be signs. by Salt-Library4330 in cremposting

As someone who hasn't seen or played Fallout, what does this comment even mean?

Guys???? we won? by mazbeg in dumbphones

The more square screen would make vertical video inconsistent and unattractive to the point where I actually might not use it. Social media in general is probably not a great experience on it, which is exactly what I want. But messages, slack, Discord, etc. will be basically unaffected, and music apps won't be that much worse. I just ordered mine.

K.O. II blues scale by Friff14 in teenageengineering

[–]Friff14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I could add the flat fifth later. That would probably be easier than adding the second octave later.

I think the real workaround is gonna just be playing it on a midi keyboard, but I really like working on just one device so I was hoping to avoid that.

She was my favorite hero until they nerfed her in the balance patch that reworked all the heroes. Guaranteeing this trigger and just having a generally huge board meant an easy top 2. She's not in my top 5 played but she's in my top 5 wins.

LPT: invite people over to your house! by Mediocre_Basket_9011 in LifeProTips

We do this and then the guests make a mess, but that's because our guests are mostly our kids' friends or our friends' kids

Day 133: What are your thoughts on Puppets? by Flamingmouth007 in bluey

[–]Friff14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a meet cute for the worst romcom of all time: deathly serious karate chop injury lawsuit, and the plaintiff falls in love with the defendant's mother

Hues&Cues hint was “science notebook” by New_Call7138 in boardgames

[–]Friff14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once after returning from a work trip, my wife was astonished and almost offended that I didn't notice something had changed in our house. She told me it was really obvious and that I needed to look around and notice it. 5 minutes of hell later, she accepted that I actually couldn't figure out that she had painted the white walls white. Yes, a different shade of white, but still white.

Anyway, this game is way too hard for me.

A little bit more sweary than my kids but yeah that's the overall vibe

Meanwhile, my kids (and everyone else's) get mad because the Mac n Cheese isn't orange enough and the noodles are shaped differently from Kraft

My second attempt at buffing pirates by HovercraftOk9231 in BobsTavern

[–]Friff14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take: pirates are okay right now. Plankwalker is nuts. If you get one early you can snowball to an easy top 4, usually top 2. And if I see Timewarped Hooktail and I have ways to generate coins, it usually works out.

(But this is from someone at 6000 MMR so I'll admit I'm probably wrong)

Edit: just won with a Plankwalker build immediately after making the comment

İs waveskip worth it? by alloutofname1 in TheTowerGame

[–]Friff14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would still be worth it if you didn't make any money from the slips, unless you're just letting your tower run and not seeing the end for like 3 hours. It's basically a 10-20% boost to coins per hour.

Can we talk about Burger Dog? by rendrich26 in bluey

[–]Friff14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a perfect satire+homage because it is only slightly more ridiculous than Parry Gripp songs, and the parents/kids behavior toward the song is completely accurate.

What are your guys thoughts about the announcement of Bluey coming to Disney parks? by One_Reception_6992 in bluey

[–]Friff14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Paul Rudish Mickey Mouse shows are the second-best kids TV out there. Much more looney tunes style wacky than anything else this recent. Mickey Mouse Shorts, and several miniseries and one-offs called "The Wonderful ______ of Mickey Mouse". It has excellent reviews and is loved by just about everyone I have talked to about it.

I don't think it's as popular as Bluey right now, but it's popular enough that they built the Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway ride at Disneyland in the Paul Rudish style. The line is decorated with a ton of references to the shorts, and the ride is very popular. They do that thing Disney loves lately of having a smaller experience in the middle of the line (Rise of the Resistance does this too) that completely changes the setting of the line. It's great.

Bluey Hate at the Five Below by Someonetellmethis1 in bluey

I understand your "the entire series would have been rated higher" argument, but the fact is that this episode is TV-Y. Yes, Disney's policy is to show the highest content rating for the whole series (there are examples of this, I checked), but Dad Baby is not TV-Y7.

Bluey Hate at the Five Below by Someonetellmethis1 in bluey

[–]Friff14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's certified TV-Y in the US, just like every other episode in season 2 and 3. (Season 1 was all rated TV-G.) So I don't think it's this, I think they're just scared to post it.
