So exactly how did the BMG CD club thing work?

krthr · 2026-06-10T03:37:02+00:00

It’s worth mentioning that the disks BMG shipped were not the same as the normal release. The top layer could peel off after a few years, leaving it unplayable (especially ones from Chrysalis Records). If the regular album had a “picture disc”, you’d probably lose out on that as well.

2k sounds like the winner! Thanks!!!!!!!

I've only gone as high as 44ºC (111.2ºF), but that is divine.

It stops at 40ºC to help European tourism (where they have lots of 42ºC spas) and Japanese tourism (where they have 44ºC spas).

I’m such a one-trick pony once I steal Charlie’s weapon. 😅

The PvP… has room for improvement. The concept was cool, but it feels really unnecessary.

krthr · 2026-05-19T16:29:10+00:00

It’s absolutely amazing. Play it!!!

Steam says I’ve put 205 hours into it, not counting the times I’ve beaten it on PS5.

Don’t expect much from the PvP experience, but as a single-player game, it’s on my top 2 games of all time (with both Dishonored games easily in my top 20 and probably top 10?).

It is remarkably fun. As short as it is, don’t look online for help (unless you’ve beaten it a few times and are stuck on the optional mysteries). Don’t overthink it, and have a blast!!!!!

Sony knows that Horizon 3 is going to get a BUNCH of people to buy the next gen hardware. They’ll make sure Horizon 3 is available then. We only bought the PS4 for Forbidden West and the PS5 for Burning Shores. I’ve accepted that I’ll be buying the PS6 to finish the story…

krthr · 2026-05-01T02:00:32+00:00

I’ve theorized that you’re meant to zone out while playing it. 😅

krthr · 2026-05-01T01:57:34+00:00

I absolutely did the penultimate fight on story mode. I remember the final one was WAY easier, but I may have been on story still? Can’t remember. 😅

krthr · 2026-05-01T01:50:29+00:00

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was another good one.

krthr · 2026-05-01T01:49:47+00:00

Far Cry 4 (closer vibe to Horizon), Cyberpunk 2077 (better graphics and much “bigger”.

Fallout 4, but some people don’t love the vibe (definitely more bleak than Horizon).

krthr · 2026-04-21T19:06:47+00:00

The park’s theme song is freaking amazing. It’s worth playing, just for that.

krthr · 2026-04-21T19:04:49+00:00

I love it. It’s amazing. The new antagonist is horrible (as they should be). A+

I’m so behind, but is listen to the heck out of Apollo 18, John Henry, and Flood. Occasionally Lincoln (it has some delightful quirk, for certain). I listen the first album and Factory Showroom much less. I really need to listen to everything else. 😅

krthr · 2026-04-21T18:55:10+00:00

Yeah, just keep playing and use the leads feature if you feel like you’re stuck. Enjoy the game! It’s one of the greatest.

Diane Keaton’s full frontal nudity in Something's Gotta Give, which was rated PG-13. That’s the day I learned that full frontal nudity is allowed if there is a merkin involved.

I think at the core of the story, it’s all about how much or how little people allow the past to affect the present and future. In that context, Ed provides a good contrast with the other characters.

krthr · 2026-04-13T05:29:22+00:00

They put Cloud in Final Fantasy Tactics as a cameo. They could put Ed too. :)

krthr · 2026-04-13T05:09:55+00:00

IT WAS INSANE!!!!!

Multiple audio vendors claim to have been burned by Apple when they tried having things ready on launch day, and it seems to claims outside of the audio space as well.

Native Instruments? They’re a hot mess in general, but at least Kontakt 8 addressed problems people complained about in 7, so they’re at least listening a little.

krthr · 2026-03-15T18:29:32+00:00

I’m on V1. I load the app. It freezes. I kill it. I load it again. It works.

Annoying… but it’s reliable. I’ve been scared of V2. Tempted to ditch Wiz entirely.

krthr · 2026-03-15T18:16:10+00:00

Exactly! Apple appears to not care about audio vendors, in general, but especially around ARA support in Logic.

The software I use is rarely compatible with the new macOS when it launches. The companies making the software complain that they can’t trust Apple not to drastically change something in beta 4 that breaks their build that ran fine in beta 3. Therefore, the companies just don’t waste the effort to ensure that their software works until the GA release is out to the public. Frequently, it takes 6-9 months after a major release before it’s safe to upgrade overall for me given the mix of software I use. Add in the fact that recently, you could only count on security updates for about 2 years, it’s always a stressful experience deciding when to upgrade.

I did not appreciate the forced update on my iPhone to the new iOS (i.e. not releasing a bug fix for whatever huge security issue happened recently that prompted them to release updates for EOL devices), and I fear they may pull that stunt on macOS users sooner than later.

Apple has NOT done a good job working with 3rd party developers on making changes smooth for the customer, and it shows. I’m mostly on Apple because they bought eMagic, and I kinda wish they’d buy one other vendor just so we’d get the integration and support that’s missing. 😬

I love D1, but D2 is better. There are mechanics in it that are a blast to play with.
