  • So, I’m almost exclusively listening to deathmetal, deathcore and other kinds of extreme metal, but once upon a time I stumbled upon this song and since then Aesop Rock has found himself a permanent spot in my music library.

    I haven’t found many other rap artists that I like but when it comes to Aesop there are few songs I dislike.

    Can you explain what takes so long then when setting up your devices, because I really don’t get it.

    Playstation 5 setup should be a single login, then download and install firmware updates and before playing a game install another update. Everything else should be optional.

    And two days to set up a router is not normal and something only very few people would have to deal with. For the most part it should either be connecting the router and it setting up automatically or connecting it and putting in your login data.

    In general I would argue that it has become a whole lot easier to set up tech nowadays. The only thing that is more annoying today than in the past are mandatory accounts for tech that doesn’t need them so they can gather/steal your data. That shit sucks.



  • Every one of these artist vs corporation stories is the same. Years or decades of corpos trying to weasel out of paying what is rightfully owed, trying to deceive and steal what they didn’t create and doing it all with the help of an army of lawyers and the knowledge that they can strongarm their way out of everything.

    But, what Willingham did here seems like a brilliant way to show DC the middle finger. I hope more creators who are in similar situations will follow suit.





  • That’s my biggest compaint and probably the reason I won’t put all that much time into the game. I can excuse a lot of things in a Bethesda game, like a boring main story with bad writing or subpar combat and shitty AI, even the over reliance on fast travel with loading screens, if there was actually something worth to explore.

    Between all the procedurally generated stuff I’m having a hard time finding interesting side quests or the kind environmental story telling I like so much from fallout and elder scrolls. Unfortunately I don’t care much for exploration if there isn’t something cool find. In Skyrim I would often stumble upon a weird or cool place on my way to a quest that turns out to be chock full of little stories. In starfield however I started to ignore most of the points of “interest” on the map because it’s almost always a bunch of same looking dudes in space suits with way too much hit points. No little stories, or at best an extremely boring radiant quest.

    And even the cities are pretty empty. Where Skyrim shines with it’s tight knit communities where NPCs know and (love/hate) each other in starfield you mostly deal with corporations and their workers. But even though these corpos are the epitome of liberal bs every worker just looooves working for them and is eager to tell me their history. And I as the player can only nod and ask for more.



  • Fucking nvidia. I’m currently still using an nvidia card (3070) but my next card is going to be an amd card again. In fact, just yesterday I finally built a gaming PC for my wife which got an amd RX 6800. Which is a great and performant card with a pretty good price.

    At least for me, raytracing is pretty unappealing anyway. I’m not that much after high fidelity graphics and the performance hit is annoying. Which only leaves DLSS as a selling point and with how FSR (especially FSR 3.0) is shaping up the better quality of DLSS is just not worth supporting nvidias bullshit.
