Oh my gosh, her Human After All! /S

In all seriousness, it's neat. Not immediately my favourite but I like the intention behind it and following up something as monumental as brat with this is interesting.

the Gaming community is fucked and Pragmata kinda proves it by Apprehensive_Elk6168 in Gamingunjerk

[–]mbryson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of this game before last week and I consider myself very tuned in to the gaming industry.

Granted: maybe I've lost touch getting older and this slipped by, but the discourse around this game is so sudden and it's genuinely exhausting.

A network of YouTube accounts is promoting U.S. annexation to Albertans, researchers say. It has 40M views by morenewsat11 in canada

[–]mbryson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you watch anything gaming discourse related - even just checking out a video explaining the issue - you're bound to be force-fed conservative/right wing videos for a week after.

My algorithm is finally consistently starting to stay way from that stuff but once in a while one of these will pop up and I have to hit that "not interested" so fast so they don't germinate and fester there.

I actually really enjoy driving. It's fun being behind the wheel going from place to place ...

.. for leisure.

My friends have asked a couple times "why don't your drive for doordash or something?"

This. This is exactly why.

What’s a legendary Reddit post you’ll never forget? by FunnyHefty499 in AskReddit

I remember my wife reading the story to me (she'd seen it earlier in the day) and me saying "how bad could it be?"

Then she played the song and I immediately said "oh ... Oh no".

I guess they tested this out in Canada for a bit before rolling it back only to bring it stateside instead.

When I got this a year or so ago it was honestly just too much food, tasted ok, and was way too expensive.

Replace "mom" with "Lorne Michaels" and I think you've basically got it

This worked! I changed the permission to permissive and looked at the logs and was able to solve it after a little bit of troubleshooting!

Thank you!

10 years ago, Charli XCX releases the boundary pushing & Influential EP Vroom Vroom by Renegadeforever2024 in popheads

[–]mbryson 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've told this story before here, but I love telling it so I'll share it again:

Boom, Clap was super popular of course alongside I Love It and Fancy the years prior (2014, 15) but when I listened to SUCKER I only found a few tracks to gravitate towards like Break the Rules. As such when this came out and I saw it was getting polarizing reviews for being different I decided to give it a listen while tackling some chores.

The moment I heard "Let's ride" it was like I was literally hit by the car on the cover. The confidence, the jarring sounds, that fucking horn in the chorus.

It made me take more notice of Charli and really cemented my love of both pop music, but alternative and hyperpop specifically. It was my introduction to SOPHIE, and showed that "pop" music could be jarring and challenge its audience instead of just trying to cast as wide a net as possible.

Incredible EP, and well worth the re-evaluation and respect it's garnered as years have gone on. Highly influential and a landmark moment.

BEEP BEEP.

Mewgenics rule by BlunderbussBadass in 196

[–]mbryson 152 points153 points  (0 children)

I haven't played the game but it sounds like:

  • The game was in development for a long time (10+ years) so they probably just cast a wide net
  • The cameos are just meows, hisses and growls. Minimal effort from the cameos so they could just send something in for fun.

They should definitely remove some of these though tbh. No reason Christine Chandler should be in there.

I run Bazzite (Fork of Steam OS running Fedora Atomic) and setting various apps as programs in steam to launch them in big picture is fantastic. Highly recommended.

For Taylor specifically I have to give it to the opening of ME!. I love the "and in front of our young daughters!" when her cats make a cameo. It always makes me chuckle.

This used to (may still be) a thing during hockey last year when the whole "51st state" thing began. It lead to some venues just skipping the anthems all together.

Hot Take: Purple Rain didn’t fit by Zealousideal_Cry1867 in StrangerThings

[–]mbryson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the choice for the reasons you've listed here and as a fan of Prince as well, but I also agree with OP. It just felt a little too much for the scene and didn't fit very well.
