I just discovered accuradio & basically am listening to older R&B I grew up on.

The templating is a side effect of record companies realizing it's cheaper to push a dozen super stars than to have an ecosystem of musicians/singers/bands to support.

Now all pop music uses the same producer/writers.

My "Discover Weekly" now has a significant portion of AI-art cover bands with AI-Generated bios with no artist names assigned to "voice".

It’s going to be tough to get all the cards without spending enough cheddar.

Take care! I am sick too.

I would murder for a Zero Zuccher Schwip Schwap right now. Tradesies?

2 hours ago, I walked into the Apple Store and traded it for an M4 MacBook Air (15").

This means a lot about how I embraced MacOS these last 2 years.

(I still have 3 Windows Laptops, one Mini Windows PC, a Rasp Pi to which I've given specialized roles... oh and a Chromebook and a Steam Deck)

Here's a secret from a fellow GM and bipolar: Chances up, you messing up won't be noticed. And if it is and is called upon, acknowledge the mistake and make a call that feels fair.

Everything will be fine. I believe in you!

Visiting the US as a Canadian

Yes, it's changed my life.

There's this program called VINE some users get invited into that offers free stuff for reviews. But getting in is arcane, the choice of items is like a tombola, and you need to review everything you order.

Same, there's a 2000$ robot vacuum coming in (That Amazon sent me for free in exhange for a review).

Mon ami est en train de faire passer tous ses jeux Blizzard, GOG, et EPIC sur sa Steam Deck, rendu là, Xbox Game Pass et PS cloud devrait être une technicalité. ;)

I felt this one in my bones. (And my washing machine)
