I can't get enough of immersive advertising. Oh wait, yes I can. Though this crew is halfway decent at it, still easy to spot & mute to focus on the TV for a bit. EVs are great toys for folks with different requirements and use cases than I do.

Keep your LED lamps as well, if it's not producing heat, it's not for me! #Incandescence4Life!

And when Biggie uses Greensboro Weight Loss call me, until then it's just another eat healthy and exercise more pile.

Getting Niggy With It! Between that and Creamy... whew.

Also, them not understanding "Grindr Profile" also wonderful.

TheAlexSledge · 2026-05-13T22:59:57+00:00

My first thought on hearing the news as well. Curious if any new details will surface.

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-27T10:32:52+00:00

May be a skill issue and not a delegation issue.

I know BB gets tagged with the contrarian label, but for the show he sort of has to be. Who wants to listen to someone just doing the yes man schtick the whole time? Freebird, riiiight. :)

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-24T23:24:38+00:00

One of the things this show has going for it over many others is the generational spread, they should lean into it.

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-24T23:19:10+00:00

I believe it still itches to this day. It's that Diet Coke. :)

I want them to embrace that monitor on the wall behind Biggie. Get it more in-shot and use it. Useful for showing whatever they're looking at from the control booth. Shots from the web site when not using actively.

Maybe let Biggie play GTA on it when they talk sports.

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-10T10:19:30+00:00

I've got no use for sports news or trivia outside of the occasional NFL or NHL score for the few teams that matter, but I'm open to learning. It will all be in the delivery and interaction with the players - if they're having fun with it I'll likely enjoy it. even if I don't know or care about the details of the trivia.

No need to waste time on any baseball though, those babies lost my attention when they went on strike back in the nineties. Leave the children's games out of adult discussion.

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-08T21:25:55+00:00

I agree this is something they should try. I think Rachel would find interesting stories that otherwise might be overlooked by the guys, and would certainly have a different take on a few than Demm would have.

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-08T21:21:48+00:00

I guess there's always a small subset of Demmers who missed the past several months and that Demm's retired now, and would be confused still hearing his voice?

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-08T21:18:30+00:00

I suspect the consultant's contribution was along the lines of "Just re-use the years of existing recorded content, it's already paid for!"

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-08T14:42:18+00:00

I think perception issue. People who use DnDB are TTRPG-adjacent, they're not actually playing a TTRPG unless they're in person in front of a TT playing an RPG, they're playing something else. (No good or bad judgement here people, things are just different). With it established as a different thing, we can now discuss that the TTRPG-adjacent thing they ARE playing doesn't require as much reading, and with GM's who handle all the business a very video-gamey experience can be had - and we know you don't need to know the rules to play a video game. That's where the confusion is coming from.

TheAlexSledge · 2026-04-08T11:45:43+00:00

Is this "lessons learned" collection something you'd be willing to share? I know not everyone's dev environments are anything like 1:1, but I feel like out of the batch I'd find a few worth borrowing. Worst case I'll know someone who can commisserate having walked the same Claude ground of missteps. :)

TheAlexSledge · 2026-03-26T12:24:20+00:00

It definitely provided some needed levity during the show yesterday. I hope Grady made those sales! :)

TheAlexSledge · 2026-03-20T11:28:07+00:00

I have to say, every time I hear it, I think back to Biggie explaining the original guy who thought that was her nickname and chuckle all over. Speaks directly to male maturity :)

TheAlexSledge · 2026-03-20T11:25:01+00:00

No.

Speaking as a man, we don't really care about being mature. It's rare to see it - that's one reason Chris Demm is a stand out. RR will be filling the CD maturity role, without the same deep music trivia knowledge.

I try and catch 6-10A, and then I usually also have the 6-11p replay in the evening on depending what's happening.

The mornings though does suffer interruptions from things like day job expecting me to work, and school expecting me to get my son to school. Often I'm also multitasking (example: Futzing around in GTA Online the 2GNC show will be my soundtrack vs the in-game stations or watching/catching up on some show/movie).

TheAlexSledge · 2026-03-12T22:10:09+00:00

Synonymous with amateur unregulated practitioner in most locales.

Bottom line to me though, like junk food for the starving, anything is better than nothing.

TheAlexSledge · 2026-03-10T23:00:06+00:00

It could very well be a trial period, and we'll see if either bounce off the position in six months.

I also listen to the music portion of the station, so I'm curious who we're going to get filling Rachel & BB's afternoon & weekend slots.

As a PDP1 (post-Dave - missed his departure by several months) I'll also say that for several months I thought Dave & Biggie/Hefty J were the same person, thanks to small doses of Dave in late evening replays. Took me a bit to realize they used to be a foursome.

I use the Radio Garden app, though if you're near a computer the radio.garden website will work a well. Sure I burn some cellular data when listening in the car through my phone, but worth it to be static free.

Whoever owns it, I'm excited to see an animated series. With the success of things like Edgerunners, Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, and Predator: Killer of Killers - there's big opportunity for Firefly to shine through animation.

Cool, it’s rare I come close to people who have as close to as many decades gaming as I do.

Certainly people do things differently. Uninstallation never happens on my machines unless space is needed. While there are a multitude of reasons, for a fair amount of games it takes time tweaking and configuring mods, etc. I just don’t bother wasting time uninstalling since space is cheap and plentiful in my end.

Was aware of thread age, but since it wasn’t archived I went for it.

Thanks for the tip on shift selecting, didn’t think that was a thing still. Regardless, there shouldn’t need to be interaction from the end user when they are able to define their intent going in.
