I haven’t heard of that. I’ll have to check it out. Honestly, i’m struggling a bit to find entertaining content. For all the curation of YT personalities/shows to a higher level, it feels pretty empty to me.

Maybe it’s just my interests not being catered to.

Thanks. I was looking for her tag but couldn’t figure out which one was right while writing this.

She’s good. You’re good. Nebula’s good. Best ~$30 I’ve ever spent.

My wife came downstairs:

“Are you watching a children’s show?”

“No. I’m watching Amy’s Dead End Dream House on Nebula. Home of extra episodes from creators such as @shadowtodd.bsky.social - he said it was good.”

(It’s good.)

I watched it while deployed and whispered to my roommate that I was glad he was here watching this with me because I am SO FUCKING SCARED.

Man alive, five of those are among my favorite movies!

I uploaded some of my vinyl. I bet I can fit about 30 on the 4gb. Sounds pretty good, too. I hear the 3rd gen was the last one with the Wolfson DAC.

Thinking hard about getting an 8gb with a new battery. I love my Mini 2nd gen, but I run into file corruption and quirks from the storage upgrade.

My wife said she WISHES she wasn’t a fan of that kind of humor but she can’t lie and she laughed her butt off at the memory.

I thought the best moment was when a lady robot farted and it smelled so badly a friggin’ STREETLIGHT passed out.

I’ve come to grips with the idea that once you’re a skater, you’re always a skater and it’s TOTALLY fine to retreat to THPS for the safety of your body and bones.

Honestly, skating is the best kind of trauma. Now I can’t look at ANYTHING in a city without thinking about how it can be thrashed.

It feels like the world’s garbage, I am way too depressed, I’m anxious as hell, and I feel like I’m just scrambling for safety like a drowning rat.

But I’ve got this going for me.

See, the cool thing is that you’d probably be hanging out with nothing but horror nerds for the rest of eternity talking about how they filmed gags and the societal impacts of specific films.

Sounds kinda like heaven.

A guy told me he was concerned about how using AirPods might shorten a lifespan and I asked him - with 100% seriousness - why ANYONE wants to drag this shit on longer than is necessary.

A Drifter Adrift @adrifteradrift.bsky.social · 27d

It’s ridiculous

A Drifter Adrift @adrifteradrift.bsky.social · 27d

I’m done with them. YouTubers doing this can get bent.

And Nintendo can jump off a cliff for all I care. Only a room of dickless board member would okay such anti-consumer price gouging during a recession and time of economic uncertainty. They could have been the hero but tripped over their greed.

They all want those clicks & bought the Switch2. I suspect they aren’t getting the expected traction because more & more are saying “don’t waste your money.”

This is obviously them trying to appeal to both fanboys and people who want to be told they were right all along.

It’s interesting how so many said don’t buy it, it’s overpriced. Then they eventually said that THEY’RE going to buy it because, you know, it’s their job.

I would argue that by YT gamers shifting focus away from Nintendo for price gouging, they would do more good than the average joe boycotting.

Saw a YT video titled “why is everything from Nintendo so expensive?”

This is from a guy who made videos about how expensive the Switch2 was and then bought it anyway.

So, with this poor idiot in mind, I can answer w/o seeing the video:

*Ahem*

Because you fucking BOUGHT STUFF AT HIGH PRICES!

Grateful: great, clear acoustic guitar recordings. Jazz, bluegrass, even acoustic rock from the 90s. If the guitars are clear, clean, and acoustic, I’m there, man.
