Pac-Man World beated!

A mediocre game that I'm not sure why anyone would want to bother playing nearly 25 years later. It's not terrible but there's not much about it that I'd call good or interesting. There was also just something about the feel of the game that always felt off. Getting hit kills your momentum entirely and it wasn't always clear what the hit boxes were for enemies.

Hardest boss for me was certainly the last. Partly me being stupid and not realizing I could use the dash to damage him. Partly it was the awful camera.

I still listen to the Bombcast and watch most of their videos, aside from the Dumptruck, which I just think is "lazy" content.

As much as us old timers think of CJayC, the reality is that SBAllen was "admin-ing GameFAQs at a 2:1 rate".

Well, I said nothing for me but then you pointed out the sales...

I've been playing Sparks of Hope for the last few weeks and it's a thoroughly "fine" game that just goes on forever, so I really needed a break with something shorter.

I'm about halfway through Pac-Man World and...yeah, it's a pretty mediocre game.

Dead

Did a first listen yesterday.

As you might expect, I wasn't feeling this. I might be wrong in calling this an "artsy" album, but that's how it came across to me on a first listen. It felt like one of those albums where I am missing the background and insight into the artist to know why this album is such a big deal.

but also that's pass interference...

god fucking dammit

fucking hell...

...Also that free 3 points coming back to bite them in the ass...

Got maybe 2 shots...

They've given themselves a chance at least...

health

There's the back breaking drive that the Giants never recover the lead from!

Don't worry, the Giants will find a way to lose this game by more than 3 points.

10 minutes before the games started I almost came in here to flip to picking the Eagles. Glad I held!

Had had the same thought myself...

1. Feel No Pain
2. Kiss of Life
3. No Ordinary Love
4. Bullet Proof Soul
5. Like a Tattoo
6. Cherish the Day
7. I Couldn't Love You More
8. Pearls
9. Mermaid

I generally enjoyed this album, despite the fact that its not a particularly "exciting" album for me. With that said, I feel like this is one that's going to quickly fade from my memory and will end up being one of those "oh yeah, this one" albums come the next Rank the Albums.

And for the vote:
Tom Petty > Cars > Jimi

I have no idea if that's the "iconic" Tom Petty album but I know I'm not excited to cover more Hendrix.

Balls

Trick or treat

Shouldnt we be more worried about getting $$$ to Ukraine more so than Israel? That whole situation has suddenly drawn all the attention away from a protracted battle thats been going on for, what, 2 years now?

though it's possible I change my mind. This is the point where you've got to try to be a bit more strategic and start looking ahead the next few weeks.

Wonder how long this speaker nonsense will go on. I suppose theyve got another, what, 38 days before a shutdown?

Jennifer Connelly

c'mon now!

Shocked that Jennifer Connelly, the very definition of babe, hadn't come up before. And the thing is, she's still a babe now even in 2023.

27/29 will be moving on with the potential of 28 if the Cardinals overcome the early deficit against the Bengals

You mean 21/23 with the potential of 22, right? Because 6 people were eliminated on Thursday by the Commies.

1. Begin Again
2. Pearls
3. Hello Love
4. Beautiful People
5. Freak Me Now
6. These Lips
7. Free Yourself
8. That! Feels Good!
9. Lightning
10. Shake the Bottle

Not a bad song on the album, though I'll say the start and end are not as strong as the middle, which is just banger and banger. Well, okay, Hello Love isn't a "banger" in that sense but I really enjoy that song. Jessie has such a wonderful voice and I like that she's able to sing her butt off in her breathy, sultry kind of style and then pivot to bringing the big disco infused pop hits.

After listening to this I had to go back to What's Your Pleasure again and I'm kind of still undecided which one I like more. I feel like That! Feels Good! is an "easier" album to listen to and to sell someone on Jessie. On the other side, there's no song here I'd put above Spotlight and then I'd really have to think about it for songs like What's Your Pleasure, Adore You, Mirage, and The Kill. Of course, I know myself and I always tend to err on the side of the big, more upbeat songs, so yeah, who knows.

I also listened to Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia again, as I tried to place That! Feels Good! within my larger list of album rankings. That feels like more of a pure pop album than either of Jessie's 2 albums I've talked about. Still great, though much like That! Feels Good! it's the super strong middle that carries the album. I was also trying to reconcile why that album is SO high up in my rankings. I did end up moving it down a bit, because I felt like all 3 of these mentioned albums are inexorably tied together in my mind.

But yeah, much like Max, I'm glad we FINALLY got to give Jessie her due. And I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but go back and listen to What's Your Pleasure too!

Season finale bump!

I generally enjoyed it, though I know theres things that are gonna annoy some book readers.

Still working my way through some of the online discourse.

Whoa, okay after looking at some videos I didnt realize thats a very different pull up than normal! I dont have the ceiling space in my gym to do those!

Great

How much weight are you using on those pullups? Im assuming its more than you use for a normal set of weighted pull ups.

Fuck that give me a hoe and a handful of mushrooms and I'll dig straight down to the morlocks.

This reads very differently without the "heavy machinery" of the prior comment.

I don't know if I'll have time to do this this week, but posting just in case.

It's a pretty quick, breezy album. I'd say you could come up with a decent list even with just 1 listen.

I opened this topic thinking it was going to be about an interview you had with someone insisting on a remote work reasonable accommodation...

Anyway, go with your gut. Your gut said "no" so just leave it be for now. Odds are, if the girl was really interested in you, that she'll find her way back to that gas station at some point in the next month or two.

Being my nomination, I think this album is great. While What's Your Pleasure took me a while to warm up to the whole album, That! Feels Good! was immediate fire. But that's only natural given the general difference in sound between the two albums.

Question for FoolFantastic, do you think overall this is a better or worse album that Future Nostalgia?

me

my brain didn't seem to come up with a word after that to have it make more sense
