  1. @Keyser_Soze That Harakiri album is fuckin' fire. Got the vinyl on Friday. It's so good. My favorite track is probably "Once Upon a Winter".
  2. I feel this but Android flagships are priced similarly to iPhones these days too. So it's like a double gut punch. Less features for more money! But here's a camera improvement you barely notice! Enjoy! This is true. I love all the things you can do by just changing something like a launcher.
  3. Android phones are slowly getting rid of every last feature that differentiates them from the iPhone. I have a Samsung Note 10 that has one key feature left for me: microSD card slot. But the newest Galaxy model, the S21, doesn't have that. So I fear the next Note won't either since they've gotten rid of the headphone jack, swappable batteries, etc. If they want to be a fucking iphone I'm just going to buy the fucking OG iPhone next time.
  4. Ruth is great and it is fun to root for her. So if nothing else stick around for her.
  5. My house is also a 5br/2.5ba with two rooms in the basement with about 1100 sq ft on each level. We are combining two rooms to make an owner's suite, expanding the half bath to a 3/4 bath and putting the full bath into the owner's suite. So we'll be down a room but up .25 bathrooms. Lol.
  6. Making the guy a video game creator instead of a musician was stupid.
  7. I honestly don't think there's a better video game movie in terms of just straight adapting the source material.
  8. I know for 100% fact that I am going to love the shit out of this trash heap.
  9. Thanks. Ludicrous claims are pretty easily smacked down.
  10. Normally I'd say "I'm not the one that has to do the proving or disproving. You're making the claim so the onus is on you to prove it." But I just conducted a little experiment for this conversation's sake. Question: Are Overwatch characters part of the cultural milieu outside of video games? Hypothesis: No. Most of my friends and family aren't gamers and I've never heard Overwatch discussion among them. Unlike other video games. Prediction: My wife, who is not a gamer, and who has seen me play Overwatch plenty of times over the years, will not be able to recognize an Overwatch character. Experiment: Show her an Overwatch character (the most-picked one on PC according to this site, at that) and ask her to name the character and/or what game they are from. To my non-shock, she could not name Ana, and she couldn't say that she recognized the character from something. I told her she's from Overwatch. "Oh." I didn't stop there, however. I took this question to my friends who are gamers on our small Discord server. Here are the results from the seven of us who play games with some frequency: Now, I expected the guy on there who I've played Overwatch with before to be able to answer that and he did. But I thought I'd get at least one more that could recognize her. I didn't. Note, I am not saying that Overwatch isn't popular or a behemoth in the industry. I'm not even saying the game itself isn't recognizable to some degree among non-gamers. I fucking love the game. But it's characters absolutely are not icons. My wife and friends recognize Mario and Master Chief and Scorpion. 100%. Those are icons.
  11. About as much labor for somebody to realize that I'm saying that Soldier76 and Eddy Gordo aren't iconic nor are they interesting.
  12. Didn't know where to stick this. Congress hasn’t raised the minimum wage... - Senator Mitt Romney | Facebook M.FACEBOOK.COM Congress hasn’t raised the minimum wage in more than a decade, leaving millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet. I’m introducing a bill with Senator Tom Cotton that would... Not that the bill is ideal or anything but is he outflanking Democrats from the left again? Or, at least the ones who insist on it being a reconciliation Bill because reasons when they know they could ram it through if they really wanted?
  13. Don't feel bad. Make that money and look out for you and yours first. Congrats!
  14. Maybe I missed it earlier but are you heading off to bigger and better things?
  15. I'm not usually one to talk down on the next generation but this alone makes me fear a bunch of fuckin' Hitler Youth dorks on the horizon.
  16. Mitt Romney accused of being ‘deep state’ agent in proposed censure motion WWW.SLTRIB.COM A proposed censure of Sen. Mitt Romney accuses him of being a "deep state" agent for voting to convict former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial. Also this. The Utah GOP doesn't believe a word of that statement.
