| Topic | PSVR2 specs are up |
| Seanchan 01/05/22 6:41:18 AM #3 | Had an opportunity to try a Quest 2 over the holidays. VR was neat...as long as I wasn't moving inside the game. So stuff like shooting galleries, Super Hot, and Beat Saber worked well. As soon as there was any movement (being on a roller coaster, moving your character via the controller) my head and stomach were like "oh god...". I imagine it gets better with time, but for the short time I had, movement was a no no. All of which is to say, I'm still excited by VR but approach it with trepidation. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 01/03/22 6:01:36 PM #267 | I think DeSantis would be the horse to back here, right? He's young, military veteran, white, male, governor of a big state. Rs think he's done a good job in Florida. Just imagine the optics of him vs Biden on the debate stage. I'll also go back to Nikki Haley as a good R candidate to get some "easy" women and minority votes. The problem for the GOP is Trump is going to run and suck all the oxygen out of the room for other candidates and also bring all the eyeballs and consternation of voters. He doesn't run, politics is "boring" again, people stop paying as much attention, and a non-crazy GOP candidate could very easily turn back Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, etc. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Other than her, in terms of nationally known Ds that won't put you to sleep, you've got Sanders and Obama and...maybe Abrams? I think she has the ability to get people to vote FOR her, as opposed to having to rely on being the "less worse" candidate. It's why Republicans and Fox News have been working so hard against her.

Went to the local big box store and bought it week one. It was actually on sale for $10 off which was a nice bonus. Started playing it and very quickly realized how awesome it was.

| Seanchan 12/29/21 9:51:06 PM #414 | UltimaterializerX posted... Anyway, I've been watching Daredevil on Netflix. 3 episodes in. If you've watched none of the Netflix Marvel series, you really should. Not every season and/or show are stellar but on the whole they're an interesting R rated take on Marvel. Like you said, it's bizarre seeing all the sex, blood, actual violence, language, and drugs when you're used to mass market Disney Marvel. Try to watch in the release order though as I think that makes more sense than watching all of Daredevil, then Jessica Jones, etc. (With that said there's really not toooo much crossover between the shows, other than The Defenders mini series that's about halfway through.) Pretty sure Daredevil S1 was the first though, so that's good. I binged them all a year or two back and recall my first impression being similar to yours. It gets much better as it moves forward though. Or maybe I just had my expectations recalibrated... Either way, the production issues kind of faded from my view. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 12/29/21 7:36:02 PM #89 | Finally got around to the finale..and oooooooooh boy... Here's some thoughts on the episode:
I'm probably missing some other big things. I've tried taken a moment to breathe because it's quite a departure from the books. You watch the behind the scenes for the episode and, it kinda helps a bit, but it's still tough as a book reader. The broader point is it's an adaptation and they needed to change things up for dramatic/budget/whatever reasons. The books are still the books and I can try to still enjoy the TV series. Going to be fun to dive into what the WoT subreddit thought about this, lol. I can almost guarantee a super negative "done with this series" reaction. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 12/29/21 3:21:04 PM #153 | banananor posted... i'm sure someone will explain why this can't happen, but it seems almost like a no-brainer to transition some of the military spending to infrastructure spending without killing a bunch of jobs Because if we did Russia and China would invade and that's just what the far left Democrats want! But in all seriousness, it's because any attempt to curtail military spending is a political no-go as it brands you as "not supporting the troops". Which is bullshit for many reasons... Instead, we'll continue to have nearly everyone in America complaining about potholes, terrible roads, and crumbling bridges. You know, things we can literally see with our eyes and that fixing would have a recognizable positive effect, as opposed to military spending which might as well be thrown into a black hole for all that it impacts the average person. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

I think it stinks that the combination of an artist without huge name recognition and a holiday week means that this album isn't going to get the play it deserves. Hopefully I'm proven wrong and we get a bunch of lists later tonight and early tomorrow. My praise for this album is effusive. The combination of vocals, instrumentation, and tone (sort of a melancholic hopefulness?) really comes together to create something wonderful. This one got a rare four listens from me this week! And it was one of those rankings where I felt like so many of my preliminary placements were too low because there's really not a weak track here. Even if you don't get a chance to do a ranking, at least give this one a listen. I'm setting expectations too high but this is one of those hidden gems that wouldn't have ever crossed my path without these topics. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 12/24/21 8:45:23 AM #19 | Just did a 2nd listen. Still enjoying this one very much. It's funny, my first listen, I had to cut in half due to time. So, when I listened to the back half of the album, I was a little taken aback as it sounded different than the first half but I wasn't sure. This second listen confirms though, that yes, there IS a bit of a tonal shift in the second half. (Minus the last song, of course, which is just the first song but with French lyrics.) And now I'm thinking there's maybe a bit of an overall story in the album about maybe falling in and out of love (or something along those lines). --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

MetalmindStats posted... This has also approximated my experience with it so far, for what it's worth. Glad to know I'm not the one one? I felt like I was just missing a layer with this album. When we listened to Taylor Swift it was obviously the focus on the lyrics and storytelling, but it was also easy to follow. Then we've had stuff like Iron Maiden, Spice Girls, or The Knife where it's more about the instrumentation and/or the "vibe", and I don't care (or don't have to care) about the lyrics. With The Devil and God...I couldn't escape the idea that I was missing something by not understanding the story and the lyrics and the meaning of the songs. For example, I did a tiny bit of research behind Limousine and found out it's based on a true story of a seven year old girl getting killed by a drunk driver. Was the girl someone related to a band member? (Pretty sure that's not the case.) Did the story touch a nerve with a band member because of them having a history with drunk driving? There's also seemingly a lot of religious references in these songs. Why is that? Unfortunately, I'm usually just looking to enjoy an album with these rankings and not deep dive into the circumstances behind a band's output. And so, for better or worse, I'm mostly left to judge based on surface impressions. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

As I've only done the 2 listens, it's hard to truly judge against Deja Entendu, but this one doesn't feel as "fun" to me. It's also an album that makes me feel "lyrically deaf".

| Seanchan 12/13/21 4:27:29 PM #17 | Did a first listen today. Bizarrely, THIS is one of the few bands we've covered, not nominated by myself, that I've actually listened to a full album from. While I'd heard parts of Your Favorite Weapon, it was Deja Entendu that got quite a bit of play back when I was in college. The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me was new to me though and I was enjoying it, or at least parts of it. At any rate, it did make me go back and listen to Deja Entendu again for the first time in forever and, yes, that's still pretty good. Though I wasn't enjoying the practically 20 year mental trip back in time it created... There's something about some of the "screamy" vocals in parts of Brand New's albums that feels firmly rooted in that early/mid 2000s culture that's a little offputting. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
