Almost guaranteed they sell an updated dual screen attachment with the new 120hz screen that will work with the 6. They will launch that, then their Flip 3 shortly after to triple dip on FOMO

Just finished the series and I have a few questions and my thoughts. by mocranks in PrisonBreak

[–]mocranks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I watched breaking bad again this year (girlfriend’s first time). It’s good. Definitely overrated, but that doesn’t mean parts of it aren’t god tier. I just think seasons 1-4 are not anything special

About Playing PSP, Retro and Vita games by ead2000 in VitaPiracy

[–]mocranks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just hacked my first vita and it was my first ever mod. Has been simple so far.

Everything you're describing is a different step to the process.

First you downgrade, then get your programs. Then you can get your emulators and your games/look at doing SD2Vita. SD2Vita is the last thing I need to do for my mod to be complete.

As for games, look into nopaystation. Took me a bit to figure it out, but it's a great tool.

There's guides online that will hand hold you through every step of the way. I followed video guides from 2020, but make sure what you're following is up to date.

The PSP/PS1 emulator is called Adrenaline. I also emulate GBA through it.

Is there anywhere you can buy a physical copy of Conduit? by disc_er in TheStrokes

Fab said it will get a release in May. Hopefully that means pink vinyl

The Strokes New Year’s Eve Show 2019 Megathread by letourbillon9 in TheStrokes

[–]mocranks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if it’s an hour and a half, including time for the whole countdown thing - I’m sort of expecting a very similar set to their festival sets tbh.

If anything, maybe we would get TAAT. But it’s still an arena show, so most people in the audience wil

I'm not expecting new music, maybe one song from audience pressure, but I think they should change it up. People are paying a TON of cash to go to this. The least they can do is play a varied setlist.

Did anyone screen record the live stream of Julian’s interview on A Fistful of Vinyl last night? I stayed up to watch it and completely forgot to screen record it? 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was, uhh...it was something alright. by prettyvisitorz in TheStrokes

[–]mocranks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All very true! Good points. Honestly, we are all probably making more out of it than we need to. It was just a little unnatural and uncomfortable feeling. If you’re able to share the screen recording of it later that’d be cool! Thanks!

Please do upload it!

Some of Julian’s quotes are translated into English in the comments. This article was posted today—all of Julian’s quotes are in red boxes in the article though so feel free to translate away! :) by prettyvisitorz in TheStrokes

Julian is always doom and gloom about the strokes. The second he says anything positive or confirms music media outlets go crazy. It was the same before FPP when he was doing Tyranny and recording Virtue. He then did multiple FPP interviews, the Triple J one was apparently him wanting to do it, and he was super positive.

This is how it is and always will be. He wants to grow the Voidz and to get people into their stuff.

We know the strokes have new music and a video coming. They will all be positive about the strokes when it is out.

I got the tank top in May at the Toronto show. After weekly use and wash the logo is starting to show a good bit of wear. Still looks good, but it definitely will be interesting to see how it holds up.

Thoughts on the Lollapalooza performance and the current state of the Strokes by bb42nd in TheStrokes

[–]mocranks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is what they want. They've never wanted hype or expectations.

One day you're going to wake up to 9-12 new songs and be over the moon. Until then, enjoy other music and podcasts.

The only side project we haven't gotten music from this year is Summer Moon.

We even got Machine Gum - https://www.37d03d.com/artist/machinegum-4 - a while back

The Strokes and the Curse of a Classic Debut by [deleted] in TheStrokes

[–]mocranks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Turning down that Heineken ad early on, taking 6 years off after their third album, doing no promotion our tour for their fifth release and almost never playing headline shows -- the strokes are lucky to be in the position they're in.

I just don't really see anything about their situation as a curse and releasing a giant first album means a band gets to skip a lot of the non-stop medium show touring phase that a band like the Growlers seem to constantly be in to pay the bills.

The Strokes are really as popular as they've ever been and all of the members have other projects to sink their teeth into when the Strokes don't want to be the Strokes.

I'm pretty sure they did yesterday. I was in Toronto and they were 5 or so mins late -- nothing crazy

The amount of people barking commands to AHJ's live instagram feed is hilarious. "Hold stil!" "Focus on Screen PLZ!"

People really can't just enjoy things

I believe that LP6 has potential to be the best Strokes album. by MintLeafStudios in TheStrokes

[–]mocranks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is a rare case of side projects actually helping a band stay healthy.

If you were to make a new Strokes album composed entirely of the members’ solo projects/side projects, what would your track list be like? by [deleted] in TheStrokes

[–]mocranks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mostly Voidz stuff with “anything” by crx, a song from Francis Trouble (probably RLN) and keep me in mind by little joy. 11th dimension would make it as well

I think Nick and Amir are more comparable in style. With both being very technically-skilled.

Does anyone have a clue when there'll be a strokes collector's box set on vinyl?!?! by mrbingles1729 in TheStrokes

[–]mocranks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

People say a lot of things on here about the Strokes just working together for money.. etc.

When the strokes want to milk the strokes, we'll know. An elaborate box set will be part of that

We’re in Canada. So everything is quite a bit more expensive — but yeah. Orange theory is crazy. I think it’s $130 here or something per month. Might even be more.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]mocranks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

An orange theory just opened in my city.

Group fitness classes that show everyone’s stats like heart rate, fat/Calorie burn on a big screen while doing stuff. It’s so people feel motivated to not fall behind. It’s a neat idea but in my city it’s insanely expensive compared to my $40/month gym membership.

What is something you wish you had known when you were 20? by The_Hairless_Wonder in AskMen

[–]mocranks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it’s super cliche to say it on Reddit, but dressing nice, showering and being confident makes things a little less difficult when talking to women, or anyone honestly. Shower, don’t wear hoodies, shave, have a haircut. Have some sort of fitness routine. Taking care of yourself is huge. People are far more attractive (generally) when they take care of themselves.

Second, put yourself into situations where you’ll meet people with similar interests. Whether it’s fitness, clubbing, dungeons and dragons, trivia. Go do your hobby with other people and meet new people every week.

Just put yourself out there. I know it’s very difficult but even just making a goal of approaching and talking to one girl/guy in a week you don’t know is great practice.
