You can buy a title from Sealand, a dubious claim to a pirate radio station built upon a WWII sea platform. It’s not officially recognized by the UK, but is just offshore from them. They have the debatable claim of actually being able to sell titles because it’s created land outside the UK.

Obviously just for fun. If anyone can buy a title, then what’s the point of having it?

This is older than my mother even, and she retired years ago. Herman Munster is a cop! There’s at least an episode or two on YouTube, which is how I saw it. Otherwise I’d have never known. It’s really a snapshot of another time.

I tried tidal about two years ago and they had even less of what I listen to than Spotify. But maybe I should check in again and see what’s different, because nothing stays the same for long.

I’m pretty sure his label put his stuff back on there, despite his wishes. I seen to remember a need article at the time describing his reaction as “disappointed”. Not all of his stuff is back on there, but I guess the stuff he didn’t have full control over is.

Personally, I don’t listen to Joe Rogan, but I do listen to Neil Young. And Spotify is the way I typically listen to anything since they killed the SD Card on most mobile phones. So it hurt me, and I assume it hurts anyone who would want to listen to both and only gets the option of Joe Rogan. So I think having access to media is better, but I’m not the artist and I get taking a moral stance.

I don’t see the problem? That’s clearly Colby Brians.

Kipp from Napoleon Dynamite. I greatly recommend watching it. It’s short, but very good at what it does.

I managed to save up with my wife by living with my parents. We bought a house in foreclosure from the 2008 crash. Otherwise we never would’ve been able to do it.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their kickbacks dissolving!

That’s too real. I don’t like it. Describing a hellish world of AI anti-choice, then at the end revealing that most of us will just be in labor camps instead. Damn. I’d tell you to write that into a book, but I don’t think there’s a happy ending there.

I feel like they used a lot of help from ProTools to make him some better on that one, though. Since there want really auto tune back then.

I play FFXIV. I’ll break it down by expansions, but it’s the one that didn’t follow the general downwards trend so much.

1.0 - trash. They couldn’t figure out how to work together. One guy spends forever making the best looking water wheel ever, in the background, that you never interact with. It’s too graphically intensive, and flows the wrong way from the water. It doesn’t match the building it’s attached to. Meanwhile, they forget to add roads towards main cities. It’s an unplayable mess. It’s literally unplayable, as they killed it off to replace it with:

2.0, A Realm Reborn - they really fixed it under one guy’s leadership. It’s playable, and works. It’s outdated somewhat today, but has a lot of moral grey areas and twists. There’s a lot of running around and time wasting, which was common back then.

Heavenward - they made a great story. It’s one of the best expansions. Streamlined and faster. No needless “talk to 5 villagers” quests like previously.

Stormblood - not as great. There’s a lot of setup they use later. The world building is really great, though. Some of the best looking areas.

Shadowbringers - the best expansion they’ve ever made. Perfectly balanced world building and characters, and story. This is peak FF, with the best music as well. Probably because they can ditch much of the old A Realm Reborn story.

Endwalker - ties it all together. The story leads up to “death is inevitable for everything that has ever lived, so just die now” kind of depression hopelessness that you wonder how they’ll get out of it. Well, because it’s Japanese and FF, it’s the power of friendship that saves the day. But, this really feels like the culmination of everything they’ve learned in the previous expansions.

Dawntrail - this is the downward slide. They force you into a role to support someone for ruler that is almost slapstick bad. Characters don’t make logical choices. The theme is all over the place and can’t decide what it wants to be. Many people say to stop at endwalker, but we’ll see how the next expansion goes, which is years away.

There’s plenty to say about the game otherwise, but the general thought is that they’re gradually cutting corners, taking longer, and under delivering as they’re stretched too thin. They’re feeling the same pressure everyone else in the world is - not enough money. Which is crazy, because FFXIV is THE game keeping Square Enix alive.

I think my brain knows it would solve too many plot points too easily. I’m stuck in a 90s dreamscape where all the pay phones are broken.

Oh, gross. I haven’t seen many videos of him (especially lately) so I guess I hadn’t seen enough of his stuff for his personality to come through.

Why is Musk mad at AsmonGold? Did he dunk on Elon for paying others to play his account?

I just… Fail to see the reason Elon should dedicate his time to fighting with a neet shut in. Asmon turned off donations on his stream. He doesn’t care about money, political influence, or bathing. Just games. What possible gain would there be in trying to mess with him? The richest person to have ever existed in history, in a slap fight with a dude that lives in a dirty hovel? It almost sounds like trying to fight Diogenes.

And exposing his editors isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is. They just protect him from YouTube’s crappy rules.

It sure seems like a cool accessibility tool, but he spent the whole time taking about why he did it, and magnets, that it glosses over the “how does it work?” Part that really matters. It’s not just a keyboard, so I’m sure there’s more to it. I’m hoping he has other videos that explain the concept.

Old cars could actually have their stuff adjusted, though. You’d have to tinker with the carburator if the weather was significantly colder/hotter, etc. to get it to run properly.

Even cars in the 90s started getting too complex - electronic fuel injection, variable valve timing, and more. There’s no need to adjust the valves because the computer does it, and better than you could.

Shad from the YouTube channel Shadiversity made a back scabbard that actually works, but it’s not historical. Historically, people didn’t really do it.

He also made a bow carrier on his back, to mimic a lot of movies and games.

He tries to run, but you slow-walk towards him, chanting “poop!” with every step. His pants are heavy, and blood starts to show through his jeans. “I’ll cut your guts out!” he helplessly bluffs. Soon, he crumples up and screams as his guts start emptying into the street; his denim is no longer able to hold the carnage. You see him lying dead at your feet.

You turn back towards the United Healthcare headquarters, and resume your march.

Now, it is finally time to see at what point explosive diarrhea is covered…

Well shit. I guess I can’t play it anymore. There’s still duotrigordle, waffle, and a million others though. Plus I was starting to see ads on the app.

The clusters of white dots that form a white curved line next to the yellow ones?
