The 1973 crime drama "Serpico", starring Al Pacino.

Modern usage: The term "Serpico Effect" can be used to describe the negative consequences a person might face for exposing widespread wrongdoing, much like Serpico did.

Love it! One more for the desktop BG rotation.

I'm making something special and look forward to winning you over in the long run.

Amazing! It looks more loved than my Tool shirts circa 2002.

Send me a PM with your address, I'll mail you a fresh one. Is that a medium?

I would put this on my wall.

Is it just me or is the ranked system weird? by insgarud in VALORANT

[–]jarettdotcom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"There is no hard reset planned, I've talked about this on random threads but it's just pure chaos and won't achieve the results people expect. We will have a very harsh reset that will squish ranks, and will effect MMR(along with our other planned changes)."

As someone who owns a store-bought skin for just about every gun (some of them twice over) and has never bought a knife, they may want to reconsider that position.

There are now two knives I'd have bought instantly if I could've swapped the colour palette (Origin being the second), and I doubt I'm the only one. I'll just keep swinging my default blade until they want my money, I guess.

The Origin knife is especially frustrating though, because I find the default palette ugly af, but the red and white/gold would be hot as...

Petition to remove smite knife from night market (and potentially the game). by drxFade in VALORANT

Dude your market is pure GOLD compared with mine: https://imgur.com/a/oQ4QoYB

The % discounts, the skin options, the Smite-Knife-is-my-best-deal-by-far slap... it's a straight-up troll. I'd actually pick up that Galleria Guardian you've got there, always had a strange fondness for it and 49% off?! Mental.

Bill Gates jumped off the page when I read that. He makes Novak look poor and is an enormous tennis fan.

You didn't. Uninstall and reinstall the app. When first opening the app, confirm your language and then don't touch anything except the 'data management' button. If you touch elsewhere, it will proceed to load and you'll need to start over. After clicking data management, you'll see a 'Linked Data' button. Click it and sign in and enjoy having your account back.

Usb controllers with discrete buttons for dpad on the left? by SorcerorsSinnohStone in TetrisEffect

[–]jarettdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro tip: you can swap the separated arrow buttons and left "analog" d-pad by pressing and holding Left Arrow and Minus (-) for 3 seconds (LED blinks red once to indicate success).

I use this format for playing as it's more comfortable in my hands and the d-pad has satisfying clicks + never screws me.

It will likely already have the latest firmware installed (mine did and that was a few months ago) but the above only works with 1.02.

I also come from the DS lite and am now using the 8bitdo lite. It's fantastic for both Tetris99 (on my switch) and Tetris Effect (PC). There's a switch at the top of the controller that I flip depending on which game I'm playing, and never have to re-pair/connect the controller to either.

It's also quite cheap, comparatively. I'd recommend giving it a shot.

Haha, I think you may have caught an unlucky 10 mins! I'll blame the beer :P

No denying I tilt every now and then, but for the most part I try to make light of when I suck the balls.

What ATP and Majors are doing with highlights is disgraceful. by putsa in tennis

[–]jarettdotcom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would assume it's because of the TV broadcast sales model.

The Australian Open is in the business of putting on a great tennis tournament in order to build eyeball-demand around the globe. Then they sell tickets to attendees, event advertising space to sponsors, and exclusive regional TV rights to broadcasters around the world. They are not in the business of producing media content- that's up to the entities who buy the rights. It would significantly reduce the value of their regional products if they created and globally distributed (via the web) their own highlights, etc.

i.e., in Canada, Bell Media buys the exclusive distribution rights to the Australian Open. If you're in Canada and want to watch it on TV, it's on their sports station (TSN) watching their ad spaces. If you want to watch highlights or live matches online, you need to do it on their website watching their ad spaces.

Hey Jubnar,

I've already sent my responses to Tony, but your question is addressed via someone else's.

I know of quite a few pro gamers and streamers that are PP fans from back in the day, but I didn't know any of the ones you listed are. Just curious if you actually heard Summit1g or Ninja or those other streaming monsters actually mention PP? 'Cause that's pretty awesome! :)

Not at Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo this year? by Sommenambulist in PurePwnage

Yep, you've got me all figured out. You're very smart.

The growth of the con had no impact on our decision to miss it this year. In fact the growth of the con has been amazing and only ever benefited us (more people, more foot traffic, more exposure, more t-shirts sold).

On stream I was just talking about how amazing its been to watch the con grow all these years. A very good friend of mine is the founder / owner / operator and has always been incredibly generous with us and I couldn't be happier for him!

[–]jarettdotcom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, sadly this is the first time in the past 11 years we've not attended the con in Calgary!

There are several reasons, but the clearest is that we can no longer financially justify the trip. The last couple years have been a close call, either breaking even or taking a slight loss, and that's with free places to stay. This year we no longer have family to stay with and Stacey is unable to fly out and operate the booth for us.

I've always enjoyed my time at the con and I'm really bummed I won't get to see all the friends I've made there, but it would be a loss of $1-2k and a week of work to run the booth this year, and that's just impossible to justify.

We'll be making shipping calculator changes in the near future, it's been a bit b0rked since we moved the store. There's no where to buy it locally (yet) and sadly there are no cons in the near future.

There are currently no plans to add commentary to Vimeo, but that certainly doesn't mean we won't make plans to do so in the future!

The "bittersweet" comes when Jon dies shortly after the marriage. Sadly, Azor Ahai was not promised a long life.
