Yeah, the article mentions her day begins with a 3am alarm, a quick breakfast, and the taping up of blisters.

Cool accomplishment, but it can’t have been healthy.

I’d like to thank this thread for reminding me to check out some new music. Just today, I have discovered MJ Lenderman and Still House Plants who both seem to be doing some cool stuff that’s right up my alley. There’s a new Mogwai track released a few days back and Sumac just released an amazing sludge metal album, even though I’m not really into sludge, it might convert me. A quick few image searches shows me that none of them are particularly attractive. Music has always been, and always will be awesome regardless of the physical appeal of the lead singers.

I guess I can see the appeal of that. But it’s pretty fun feeling like a nail salon samurai, too.

Pretty sure they’re just incredibly sharp. The Japanese like to sharpen things.

I bought a nice pair of fingernail clippers. ~$15 Green Bell from Japan. You hardly have to apply any force to the lever at all, and the nail just slices off neatly and falls inside. Not like my old cheapo pair that went “KACHONK” and endangered anyone in my vicinity of shrapnel injuries.

That’s encouraging. Wind Waker might be my favorite.

Grainstorm

It’s a ridiculously versatile granular sampler synthesizer. Obviously not for everyone, but it’s super fun to just make weird soundscapes with. Even with just your phone mic.

Hmm. That doesn’t sound particularly enjoyable. I haven’t played a Zelda game since Skyward Sword, and that one really rubbed me the wrong way. Formulaic and dull. I suppose that’s why the next entry made such drastic changes. I might just emulate BotW someday to see what all the fuss is about.

I’ve got it up and running in Yuzu with prod.keys 18.0. At least I watched the opening cinematic. Not that interested in playing. Just seeing if it was true.

LOL at people worried about spoilers for a Zelda game.

Presumably until you get into a car accident or pulled over for any other reason. Then, it’s probably off to jail with you. At least I hope.

Biblical literalists have “answers” to all of these, and yes, most of them amount to magic. You can’t reason them out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

Still, it’s good to constantly question this stuff to inform anyone still on the fence.

Having legit flashbacks right now…

Because, like many, you can’t remember the name of that game, but just about everyone knows about Palworld.

When I was six years old or so, my sister called me a “cosweb” and told me it was the worst thing ever. I completely believed her for a long time.

I generally hate racing games. The one I do remember playing a lot was 1990’s Stunts. It was an early polygonal game. You could make your own tracks. It’s was pretty ahead of its time.

It mostly holds up. The ending though… It’s a product of its time.

I can’t speak for others, but I felt like it was trying too hard. That, and “nerd” culture has been mainstream since at least the release of the Lord of the Rings movies. To act like they’re all some kind of outcasts because of their interests in previously outre things like Dungeons and Dragons or particle physics was just disingenuous.

I thought Dilbert had its moments.

I couldn’t get through a single episode of Big Bang Theory, so I don’t really know much about it.
