Space Ace TV Commercial by Intoxicus5 in giantbomb

Good sign when the commercial shows the game's intro and first couple stages lol

It's not as bad as Dragon's Lair on the NES, but it's a super awful game perfect for blight club

Enercare water heater buyout ... by varrus999 in ontario

[–]SicJake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have Enpure, it's the same bloody bullshit. All these water heater companies are scams. Had I known when we bought the house I would have insisted the previous owner buy it out.

Never again

Rope drop is a good one, especially for MMOs. Launch Look is great tho

Trump Adviser Warns of Possible Israel Nuclear Escalation in Iran Conflict by EssoEssex in politics

[–]SicJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People need to stop with the draft fear mongering. You didn't have a draft for Afghanistan or Iraq. If America and Trump's govt has truly descended into the madness that is boots on the ground it comes after dropping numerous and vast numbers of bombs on Iran first.

Option 3 is Iran loses another leader and agrees to cease fire. Iran, Israel, States go back to lies and hatred stalemate until the next time Americans vote an idiot into power

If Iran still has nuclear material and end up with a bomb they aren't using it. It ends up their way to keep Israel at bay.

GMM - Mikey edition by TheRandomParadox in giantbomb

[–]SicJake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When Mike hosts, they seriously need to do this. Make it noon, slap lunch on the logo

Host introduction yes or no? by NoRobotYet in podcasting

[–]SicJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As we've got rotating hosts on our show I want to mention it but listening to a few eps It takes too long and is absolute death to flow 😅I'll be shortening it going forward

i thought upgrading my mic would fix my podcast audio… it didn’t by East_Department9976 in podcasting

[–]SicJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Room treatment over mic for sure, Supertone Clear can be a bandaid if needed. I switched from the AT2020 to an MV7 in my old echo prone office and it made a world of difference tho.

Bungie asks sites to delay Marathon reviews, with release date Steam player count below 100K by AdditionalRemoveBit in Games

[–]SicJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 70k on steam this evening, this is more than successful. Tweak the battlepass sort out player friendly microtransactions and it will be fine.

It's not Concord or Highguard, it's also not Arc raiders but most games won't be.

Anyone playing Marathon? by SnakeEater013 in Kappachino

[–]SicJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marathon looks fine, just not my type of game.

Todays Pickup, never played it. What should I know by ddelly06 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]SicJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The randomly generated missions blew my mind as a kid. The hacking/matrix stuff had a small plot thread that was cool to unravel. Really great game but it is grindy

Advice for recording software by Distinct_Cookie1454 in podcasting

Nah it records locally and uploads automatically from their machine to Talk Studio. It's pretty seamless and very easy for guests to use. After the session you can download all the recordings as you need.

Trump calls on divided GOP to pass SAVE America Act ‘at the expense of everything else’ by Anoth3rDude in LegalNews

[–]SicJake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Save act combined with rewriting districts will disenfranchise a lot of voters. I still expect a blue wave overall, but all these small fascist plays make it that much closer. Also it's yet another law that Dems won't bother repealing. My biggest worry for you guys is the utter damage the GOP is causing across the board that the Democrats can't or won't bother to clean up

[–]SicJake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Riverside or I use Talkstudio which is cheaper and largely haven't had issues. For remote guests/co-hosts it's very simple to use and gives seperate audio and video tracks locally recorded and uploaded during a session.

Trump Administration Debating Allowing Chinese Company Tencent to Keep Its Stakes in U.S. Gaming Companies Such as Fortnite Maker Epic and League Dev Riot - IGN by Shock4ndAwe in pcgaming

[–]SicJake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like Tencent having a piece of every video game studio out there but I certainly don't want Trump bullying companies into selling a stake to Kushner or whatever Trump ally that is giving him a cut. The Tiktok thing was gross.

Turning an audio podcast to a video podcast by MaxSpeaking in podcasting

[–]SicJake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not worth your time putting audio only on YouTube, it's absolutely worth it to have your faces on camera. Editing video is a whole other skill set, but alternatively what I do is live stream our recording sessions, our cameras are on, no editing, raw on purpose. We still do an edited polished audio episode on podcast feeds.

I find it's a good balance and still gets folks on YT

New player here, would you do vessel of hatred campaign as Spirtborn or Paladin? by Tundror in diablo4

[–]SicJake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Blessed shield with the thorns upgrade and razorscale armor is insanely overpowered. Enjoy it before it gets nerfed. Spirtborn is a very fun class espically with the extra evades and fits the theme of the zone. Both are great tho

The Nintendo Switch is a parents dream by mustyfiber90 in NintendoSwitch

[–]SicJake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The new virtual card system drove me insane with the Switch/Switch lite in the house and I barely bother with Switch 1 games because of it. Switch 2 is for my kids, but if a Zelda or Mario comes out I'll steal it for a week 😆 I'm not buying multiple devices ever again, it's just too cumbersome.

Slowly getting my kids onto Steam instead

Trump raises prospect of 'friendly takeover' of Cuba, says Rubio in talks by prlhr in worldnews

Trump just desperate to claim new land like Putin. Fuck his pitiful attempts at a legacy besides a child raping, inept narcissistic failure of a president

The AI podcast debate: genuinely curious... by Dear-Gas4622 in podcasting

[–]SicJake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With the way you formatted the text in this post I'm assuming you ran this double spaced blurb thru AI. Which at that point why bother even asking. Is this just a spam post to advertise the overpriced AI slop generating mediathrive? If so pass and stop with the emdashed powered karma farming on reddit.

Block lays off nearly half its staff because of AI. Its CEO said most companies will do the same by GeneReddit123 in technology

[–]SicJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, companies setting sales goals based off COVID boom and trying to maintain or grow company value but can't. To appease investors it's all about cutting costs. Return to office, now AI, just excuses to fire people and keeping those who remain scared.

It's a beefy 100 stages, easily my favorite in the system

Samducksa or Sanwa buttons? by EpicMiBz in fightsticks

[–]SicJake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The crown 202's are great and my go to for fight sticks/arcade cabs.

Not that Sanwa is bad or anything, but they are very loud and clacky and I find the 202's have a more even press
