2024-09-16 10:03:47 +0000 UTCI am only aware of Concorde as much as this podcast talks about it, but my heart sank when y’all floated that it might become a tax write off. It’s super dead if that is the case. One of the shows I really liked, Megas XLR, got this treatment and you might as well of sent it to the shadow realm. If rights holder makes any sort of money on it, it ceases being a write off, so no one is touching it in a legal way. Only some pirate sites carry it.

2024-09-13 11:08:32 +0000 UTCAs someone who has had a PS5 since launch day, I am totally happy to upgrade. It’s been 4 years. And there are loads of modern games that look like crap on PS5. Alan Wake 2 - an amazing looking game on Pc - looks like low-res soup on PS5. WuKong is frame-y and full of FSR smearing. Space Marine 2 runs at like native 720p.

2024-09-12 22:23:27 +0000 UTCThe potty training story reminded me that for a while Gary Whitta was shopping around a Star Trek themed potty training book called Pooping Is Logical, illustrated by Gabe at Penny Arcade. Too bad y'all aren't at CBS anymore. https://geekdad.com/2015/07/pooping-is-logical/. Oh shit that was almost a decade ago
