The most money I ever made in the music industry was being part of a class action lawsuit against MTV. Record sales and live shows are nothing.

money quote: "Population studies suggested that increased availability of pornography is associated with reduced sexual aggression at the population level."
You should watch the film, it’s great!
Homer: "Reverse Psychology? Oh that sounds too complicated."
Homer's Brain: "Fine. DON'T use reverse psychology."
Homer: "OK I WILL!!"
Since it was completely server-hosted it was incredibly fast. You'd open it up and boom, everything all up to date. The search was fantastic. (Say what you will about Google but they've always been great at search. Very fast and very good results.) The site layout was clean and minimal. It was just a really good implementation. Of course they murdered it.
If you used Gmail in the early days, and ever used something before it, you probably had a moment where you said "wow, this is what email should have been all along". Reader was the same.
That's what I did! Over time I stopped looking at Feedly though. I replaced it with Reddit and Twitter mainly. Now that those sites have become Pure Evil I switched over to Apple News. I already pay for the Plus thing as part of the family bundle so might as well use it. The "Following" tab works like a personally-curated RSS feed list. If you want an algorithmic approach, you can use the "Today" tab.
The one main feature it's still lacking that I really want is a pure chronological list of everything from my Following sources/topics. I sent them feedback so I'm sure it will show up any time in the next 5-15 years.
You can pair a PS4 dual shock or PS5 dual sense with an iPad or MacBook (or, indeed, iPhone) and use the PS Remote Play app with it. I was doing this earlier today in fact. Works pretty well.
Photos will automatically categorize pictures by person, place, thing, etc... I never bother making folders or albums because I can just search by date or place or "black cat" or whatever. If the system can't figure it out on its own you can easily multi-select a bunch of pictures and add keywords, which can then be searched. If you really don't want to see the whole unfiltered camera roll ever you can just stay away from the library entry. If you are in "My Albums", for instance, and quit the app, when you come back you'll still be there.
I guess I don't really understand what you're looking for.
My daughter wrote a report on video game development when she was in 5th or 6th grade. Through some connections we got an invite to go to Double Fine studios and have a sit down with Tim Schaefer. He is exactly what you would hope. Nicest guy in the world, absolutely loves what he does and loves talking about it. He gave my daughter a tour of the place, showed her how they thought about designing games, talked her ear off for more than an hour, gave her some keepsakes (design documents from some games they had shipped).
For Psychonauts 1, to really get inside the characters heads, they created their own fake internal Facebook-type site and play acted how all the characters would interact on social media.
I just went back and checked and yep we had the exact same conversation in last week's "what are you doing this weekend" thread 🤣
See you again next week with the same question and same answer no doubt !
I just played this recently (also ps plus). It was really great!
Remnant 2. I’m super addicted to it. Was on a vacation this week so I’m really jonesing for a fix!
You can download lossless with Apple Music and listen to it with no data connection.
He technically didn’t. It was originally owned by George Lucas! But it was mostly just the cgi arm of his special effects. Jobs bought it off Lucas and turned it into the Pixar movie studio we think of today. (Jobs is credited as executive producer on the original Toy Story)
Unfortunately the communities that I'm interested in didn't really move. I tried very hard to just quit Reddit cold turkey, but instead I've dialed it back to only 4-5 core topics that I'm interested in. For general doomscrolling I mostly use Apple News now. I check Lemmy every day or two but it's hard to get stuck in when the discussions I'm interested in aren't really flourishing here. Hopefully it grows over time.
Cyberpunk 2077. I waited a year for the bugs to be sorted out, got it for half price, and it was just a very blah game. The Ascent is a way better game both in terms of being cyberpunk-y and also just being a fun game.
Massive update. I played for about 20 minutes, and it fixes all the loading and graphical issues. It doesn't change the gameplay at all, so if you didn't like it, you probably still won't, but at least it looks a LOT better now, and you don't sit around waiting!
I had a poster of this on my wall in college. I stared at it for years, endlessly fascinated. Not only is it a beautiful picture, but it ties in directly with one of the songs on the album.
The song, "Houdini", is about the magician Harry Houdini. He also spent a lot of his time debunking spiritual/mystical frauds. He arranged a secret code with his wife Bess so that if he could indeed communicate with her from beyond death that she'd know it was really him.
In the picture, Kate is Bess. She's got a key in her mouth because that's how Houdini would do his escape act. He'd kiss his wife before he went into the tank and she'd smuggle the key into his mouth.
All of this is brilliantly reflected in the lyrics to the song as well. ("With a kiss I'd pass the key, and feel your tongue teasing and receiving.")
