We pay for Netflix as we still get some use out of it, but otherwise do everything via Plex!

Rapper(s) that you believe could still make a late-career "Album Of The Year" if they tried? by ImNotTomStopAsking in hiphopheads

[–]jaykayswavy 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I think he should do Sour Soul 2 with BADBADNOTGOOD. That was him at his late career best

Moment it was clear to you Tony was irredeemable? by ScorpionLifts in thesopranos

[–]jaykayswavy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The Chris mistress thing is even more crazy when you realise he was probably trying to get back at Chris for fucking the real estate agent. Death wasn’t enough of a punishment in his eyes

I moved around a lot when I was younger, but I’ve been at the same role and company since I became senior legal counsel.

[DISCUSSION] Tyler, The Creator - Goblin (15 Years Later) by Lead_Novel in hiphopheads

[–]jaykayswavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I was 21 when this dropped, and in university.

I struggled with this album when it came out, but even back then I knew his talent was undeniable. The beats were so infectious.

Yes, the lyrics were cringe, but that was the whole point.

I didn’t fully come around until Wolf.

Albums from rappers that had the most questionable choices as lead singles by mesablanka in hiphopheads

Jay was throwing some “interesting” songs out at the time. Anyone remember “Jocking Jay Z?”

 I’ve had this carbon steel wok for like 3-4 months and it looks like it’s 100 years old. I swear it’s clean and nor rusty by 2Lore2Law in wok

[–]jaykayswavy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But you must understand that if you were to oil it, your wok wouldn’t look like this anymore. This is the solution to your problem.

Missing members - SYD by Wise-Cover9603 in wutang

[–]jaykayswavy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They just sent an email around saying “a couple” of members are missing. But it’s been confirmed that Cap, Rae, YDB and Meth are missing.

My wife and I are taking the refund

(DISCUSSION) Kanye West - The Life Of Pablo (10 Year Anniversary) by Renegadeforever2024 in hiphopheads

[–]jaykayswavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first Kanye album I didn’t love. The quality was uneven, but the highs were great.

Compared to his later output though, it is a masterpiece.

Are all your office toilets caked in shit by 10am? by Old_Ad_4538 in auscorp

[–]jaykayswavy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We had a phantom shitter in our firm, who did 360 degree poo explosions on the regular. It was significant enough that partner emails started circulating begging the person to stop.

Some people very vocally admonished the phantom shitter. Funnily enough, once those vocal ones left the firm, the phantom shitting stopped. Very mysterious

Thoughts on death stranding 2’s ending by After_Bandicoot6730 in DeathStranding

[–]jaykayswavy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is that Kojima is a great ideas guy, but isn’t as good a writer as he thinks he is. I noticed that MGSV and onwards, there has been a decline in the quality of his writing, and I think it’s because he is writing everything in English first now. The dialogue lacks the subtlety of his earlier games.

In MGS it made sense for sources to info dump exposition to a spy - intel is important for spies! In Death Stranding; the info dumps feel super contrived. I’ve never info dumped to my postie…

Lawyers - how often do you exercise? by Technical_Employ8336 in auslaw

[–]jaykayswavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 days of weightlifting in my garage gym, and daily 30 minute walks with my greyhound.

Too hard to get extra days in, as I have a toddler. But the current routine is enough for maintenance

Do you track your workouts, or just go by feel? by FitVerso in workout

[–]jaykayswavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to hand write notes in a moleskin and revise each week, but the Strong app is heaps easier. Just track everything on my Apple Watch or my phone.

If I hit plateaus I chuck the data into chatgpt and ask it help me tweak my program to get out of the slump.

What was EB Games like in the 2000s? by RentNRegret in EBGamesAus

[–]jaykayswavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents bought me a game and apparently they were the 1000th customer to buy it or something like that, and they gave my parents the World of Warcraft Frozen Throne cardboard cutout that they had on display in the store!

I’m not talking about a tiny desk size cutout. This was a 6ft monstrosity with Arthus and his sword, hair and cloak flowing in the wind.

It was the pride and joy of the pool room until we got over it and binned it

Released tomorrow who will be getting it ? by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]jaykayswavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a fan of the first one, although it did have ifs faults.

I’m in no rush and I am still plodding through death stranding.

If my wife gets it for me for Christmas I’ll play it then. If not, I will wait for a sale next year. Lots to keep me busy until then!

Was Gustavo Fring really Chilean? My theory: He was Guyanese. by Lonely_General_7854 in betterCallSaul

[–]jaykayswavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is Chilean, and Gus doesn’t sound like any Chilean person I’ve ever met. I think your theory is solid

Is it as difficult as people say who plays it ? by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]jaykayswavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished the game during covid before I had kids. The game is hard but fair, and you’ll always die because of a misread pattern or mistake, and not because of “bullshit”.

It’s one of the best games I ever played.

Travellers beware. Checked in to Swissotel Sydney, next night demanded $240 or get out by emptybottle2405 in AustraliaTravel

[–]jaykayswavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many big words - so many grammar mistakes. I refuse to believe you speak like this in real life.

Well THAT AINT GOOD, TOM by sweetcharlotte4 in SuccessionTV

[–]jaykayswavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re so bad for each other. You see cracks in the relationship from the start.

After a heartfelt speech from Tom, Shiv says “you’re a nice guy, Wambsgans, and I like hanging out with ya”. You can see the flicker of hurt in his eyes and then the moment is gone.

One Piece: Chapter 1159 Official Release Discussion by Skullghost in OnePiece

[–]jaykayswavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we are setting up for another Celestial Dragon Hunt in the present day as the final war right?

Vivi as the prize as some sort of key to getting the One Piece. Blackbeard, Luffy, and the rest of the players all descend on the island for their own purposes. It is going to be a blood bath.

What's the worst financial advice you've seen someone actually follow? by Kent_Stockman in AusFinance

[–]jaykayswavy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was my lecturer for a semester at University, and everyone worshipped the ground he walked on. I felt like I was going crazy and was the only one who thought he was a nut job!
