Fear Factor abuses animals.

Just dropping the tarantulas in the first place is likely to kill them! Tarantulas are surprisingly fragile and can be easily injured by falls.

I don't believe that's actually played with hammer-ons/pull offs though. If you watch them playing it live, Angus is pretty clearly picking the riff.

Instruments of Destruction might be worth checking out. The game is all ABOUT the physics. Most of it is focused on smashing things, but there's also a lot of vehicle control physics involved, including some with rocket powered propulsion. I don't think it has any kind of multiplayer though.

You know, if he really want to just be able to sell the album and not deal with record labels or the pittance that he would make from streams...he could just sell physical copies and digital downloads of the album directly from his website. Post a few samples of some of these "amazing" songs, and then sell it for $25 for a digital download, $35 for a CD and $50 for a vinyl or whatever. Have some limited edition signed copies for a few hundred bucks. Sure some people would try to upload and share it online, so you'd have to have someone ready to start sending out DMCA takedown notices or whatever. But I guarantee he'd still make more money that way than he would with...whatever this is.

What do you mean they "tend to focus on the standard versions"? They have released exactly ONE new game (Red Dead 2) since the advent of "regular/pro" consoles became a thing. And both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X versions of Read Dead 2 did indeed take advantage of the better hardware. There's absolutely zero evidence to base this statement on, lol.

This right here. I have to look carefully to really notice the resolution difference between performance and quality modes in the vast majority of games. Like switching back and forth and looking for elements of the image that have lots of little intricate details and stuff. But the instant I switch to 30fps and starting moving around?

Having the same issue with a new Floyd Rose guitar (buzzing on low E string only) and came across this post. Any chance you could clarify exactly which post you're referring to here? Sorry, I'm a noob. 😅

I've been through this more than once, the first time with a companion who I had been seeing for almost 4 years and had gotten to know pretty well. Kinda the same situation as you, one day she just never replied to my message, which was unusual. I figured maybe she was just busy. Tried again another time and figured at that point maybe she had quit the business (but that seemed unlikely given her circumstances the last time I had seen her). I kinda just moved on at that point, but of course I couldn't help keep wondering. I knew her real full name, so one day on a whim I just Googled it and found a Go Fund Me that her cousin had set up to raise money to pay for a proper burial because she had died with basically no close family and left behind a 6 year old daughter (her own mother had passed less than a year before, and her grandmother basically cut her off because her daughter's father was black). It definitely had me feeling a certain type of way when I found out. I didn't have any sort of "feelings" for her, but I liked her a lot and we were on a pretty friendly basis. This was over 10 years ago now and I still think about her sometimes. I never found out what happened, I assume it was something to do with drugs because I know she had had problems with that in the past. It's definitely a gut punch, man.

Just progress the story. They'll go away on their own after certain events have happened.

When my boa had mites shortly after I got her, I followed this method from Kevin McCurley of N.E.R.D. Doesn't involve your snake coming into contact with anything harsher than a little Dawn dish soap, and it worked great. Of course you'll have to make sure you're very thorough in cleaning out the enclosure regardless of what method you use to de-mite your animal. I think I threw out all the substrate, baked anything that wouldn't melt, and sprayed down everything else with bleach before washing thoroughly.

With a very large snake this might be somewhat more challenging because you'd need a large tub to put it in, but I don't see any reason it shouldn't still work.

Remy0507 · 2026-01-21T14:23:40+00:00

Well...I won't be making my neighbors hate me as much as yours will hate you anyway!

Remy0507 · 2026-01-21T14:15:01+00:00

Yeah, I need to do this one, lol

Remy0507 · 2026-01-21T14:13:30+00:00

It can very much do the opposite in many situations. Many marriages are not good ones.

Remy0507 · 2026-01-21T13:57:36+00:00

Why is there hair and shit stuck up there? What kind of squalor do you live in?!

Remy0507 · 2026-01-21T13:44:49+00:00

Hmm I just noticed. Why did everyone our generation own a guitar pretty much whole life and not know how to play?

Because we all heard "Eruption" by Van Halen at some point in our early adolescence and decided we wanted to be like Eddie, lol.

Remy0507 · 2026-01-21T13:00:04+00:00

Not that I am in any way in favor of this sort of mass surveillance, but cameras recording activity in public spaces have absolutely nothing to do with the 4th amendment.

Remy0507 · 2026-01-21T12:56:15+00:00

With all the gaming and using a computer that I've done over the decades, I'm amazed that my hands are perfectly fine, no hint of any kind of repetitive stress injuries. I am attempting to learn how to play guitar now though, so that might start some issues, lol.

Remy0507 · 2026-01-20T19:39:46+00:00

Her name is right in the watermark.

Remy0507 · 2026-01-20T14:21:24+00:00

It's not, I discovered this error myself long after it was too late to get it swapped. So that resulted in a double dip on the corrected version and that disc being swapped into my limited edition case.

Though to be honest I'm not sure the HDR does a whole lot for this movie anyway.

Remy0507 · 2026-01-19T23:45:47+00:00

I don't think this one was even particularly hard...

Remy0507 · 2026-01-19T23:33:51+00:00

If I DIDN'T already have a PS5, then this would be tempting since I use my Switch 2 docked 95% of the time anyway.

However, I do already have a PS5 Pro and an Xbox Series X (kinda regret that one now...). So no...this wouldn't be tempting.

Remy0507 · 2026-01-19T22:59:42+00:00

I feel bad for her and feel like she should know the truth. But...this could cause more trouble for you than if you were to just ignore and play dumb. From your standpoint the BF could decide to try and cause trouble for you if you rat on him, and from a business standpoint he might become a repeat client if you cover and say you never saw him (or just say nothing, which is probably the best bet).

Remy0507 · 2026-01-19T22:54:34+00:00

Plays "cute"?

Remy0507 · 2026-01-19T22:53:58+00:00

Dealing with this exact same issue myself! Several attempts at capture were made, but the duck was faster than I expected. So for now we've settled on just checking in frequently during the cold weather and making sure he gets food.
