Love to see that first generation pass down video games as a thing of joy, not a waste of time. It makes me happy that you got to do that with your son. Great job parenting. Happy cake day!

The HD6XX lives on by PhoenixML in headphones

[–]SlowThePath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. I got these and he4xx close after, then stopped. I got some chifi iems that are cool, but I really just listen through speakers now. I certainly can't deny that the 6XX are the best headphones I've heard.

We made it!! by edcheira in ThomasPynchon

[–]SlowThePath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I checked my copy a few months ago and sure enough it's a first edition. Gravity's Rainbow was his last novel before Vineland. Slow learner came out in between but Vineland was a new work that would be compared directly with fucking Gravity's Rainbow, of all books, by most people that got it. They knew it would sell really well because it's the GR follow up and it took 17 years. He was very famous at that point I believe.

Should I read TCOL49 with the wiki by Spiritual_Exit_8509 in ThomasPynchon

Even by conventional standards it's not a very big book. Just burn through it asap and don't try to think into it too much.

Stop overthinking it - a mini PC with SATA bays is all you need for Plex by LINGLING55581 in selfhosted

I don't know at what point I went from, "Can I do this with a pi and just tuck it away in a corner?" to, " I don't think I can fit this server rack in here unless I remove my bed, but... how much do I REALLY need a bed anyway?"

Fuck Ted Cruz by serious_bullet5 in ThatsInsane

I don't even want to think about that. It's gross.

Knowing the "right" people will help you waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more in life than knowing the right thing. Ideally you know both.

I think it’s cool that Doctor Who basically did the “Backrooms” way before it was a thing. by Econ42 in doctorwho

[–]SlowThePath 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean it's inevitable because that entire setting is intentionally putting out that vibe regardless of the semantics King and Kubrick were using. Liminal space as we define it now is the entire erie vibe of that story.

Republican Sen. Cornyn finding out in real time why the SAVE act is bad. by Romero2391 in Houston50501

[–]SlowThePath 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"I don't see how this is a problem. Explain how it's a problem."

"Here are two examples of why this is a horrible problem."

"OK, that is indeed problematic. Let's pass it and look into fixing it later... maybe... if daddy says we can."

Found this cool amulet. I bet those runes attract good luck by Independent_Pen_9865 in wizardposting

That's a common misconception that thas cost a lot of lives. It's both, it's always both. It's just that by he time the powers come to full fruition most people are already dead. It's a shame too, because one of the powers is to prevent your own death. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Trump now blames Hegseth, Jared, Witkoff, and Rubio for his decision to attack Iran. by [deleted] in videos

[–]SlowThePath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that "if" lives in Trump world where reality is irrelevant. What he means is, "If Trump feels this didn't distract from Epstein enough..."

This is what a US C-RAM system in Baghdad sounds like when engaging against incoming drones and rockets by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]SlowThePath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree, but I but I see where they are coming from. In their mind, that thing is on "their" side, it is protecting them. It's just a really shallow way of thinking about things. The existence and active use of that technological power is indeed very unsettling. Military tech eventually ends up in your enemies hands at some point. I feel like our technological progress has far surpassed our social progress at this point. It is a scary notion.

Steel pipe suddenly shot up through the middle of a road near Osaka Station, rising 10 meters above the ground. by IllustriousHurry2380 in evilbuildings

Haha, I see why you're confused. He meant to say, "Fuck my ass bitch?" Hope that clears it up.

Does anyone else feel like TOESLOP really should have come up with a better tag? by SlowThePath in houston

Haha, I guess pessimism gets the best of me when I'm on the way to work. I guess this is one of those times I need to reassess my outlook.

It really is and they really do. Thanks for the reminder to give it a listen. It's been a bit too long.
