gwildors_gill_slits, to risa in Across the Universe

I love that whenever a long lost obscure/novelty music video gets posted on the internet, more often than not it’s from Rage. What an institution. I’m so glad I grew up watching it till the wee hours of the morning.

gwildors_gill_slits, to games in Star Citizen reaches $600 million raised but the game future is really worrying

I feel the same way. For the 30 or so dollars I spent as an early backer I’ve actually had some fun times in the game, and I don’t actually think it’s quite the total loss that people make it out to be, but it certainly should be far, far better than it is after a decade and 600m dollars invested in it.

There’s already a version of the switch that has an OLED screen

gwildors_gill_slits, to asklemmy in Can you drive a manual transmission?

Yes. 44, Australian, drove a manual until very recently actually.

In Australia (Queensland at least) you have to pass a manual driving test in order to be legally allowed to drive a manual vehicle. At the time I was getting my license (1995 - 96) manual vehicles were still extremely common, plus I like driving a manual so it made sense for me.

gwildors_gill_slits, to asklemmy in Gamers. What was the game that got you into the hobby?

Probably the pong game that my neighbours had hooked up to their tv in the very early 80s

gwildors_gill_slits, to alternativenation in [30 Day Song Challenge: Alternative Nation Edition] Day 15 - An alternative song you like that's a COVER of another artist.

I would never claim that this is better than the original, but for me at least, Primal Scream’s version of the 13th floor elevators song Slip Inside This House is the perfect cover because it retains the psychedelic 60’s summer of love spirit of the original song while making it utterly contemporary (for the time it was released anyway, although to me it still sounds pretty fresh).

gwildors_gill_slits, to asklemmy in What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?

I agree, and I have a lot of fun doing it. But I doubt that the average person would be interested in a discussion about yeast attenuation or which water profile to use for a particular style of beer.

gwildors_gill_slits, to asklemmy in What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?

I don’t think it’s super obscure, but I home brew beer and it’s a hobby where you can really go deep into the technicalities of tweaking recipes, building equipment, and just the overall process in a way that would probably bore the average non-brewer to death.

Thanks, yeah I saw the post in this thread about the other pinned post. I’ll add this later when I have some more time to write it up in the format requested for that thread.

And thanks for the link to the brisbane thread, but I’m already subbed over there 😀

It’s not college radio but 4zzz is a community radio station in my home town of Brisbane, Australia that’s effectively the same kind of thing and has an online stream:

gwildors_gill_slits, to moviesandtv in No VFX in ‘Oppenheimer’? “Clearly Not True” Says Film’s Oscar-Winning VFX Supervisor

In general I agree with your point, but CGI blood is almost never invisible and generally looks like shit. Almost as bad as CGI fire.

gwildors_gill_slits, to moviesandtv in What show took you the longest to get into?

I still think it’s worth watching from season 1 - there are a couple of pretty good episodes and it sets up some stuff that comes back later on, like building the park in the vacant lot. Plus, it’s only 6 episodes IIRC.
