Adobe CC. They’ve added new features recently to justify a subscription, but it’s still not that good of a pitch. Some editors will have offline PCs so that their software doesn’t get fucked up by anything (SUPER common in music), so having a subscription model works against professional users of their software.

I live life to the fullest by driving my family around in the backseat of my Prius, and not being skinned alive by road rash. You live life to the fullest by praying there isn’t sand on the next exit ramp.

We are not the same.

Yeah, OP of this thread (me) actually has schizophrenia. Being a right wing shithead isn’t the same as being schizophrenic. Schizo is just the new way people have of calling people “autistic” like people did a decade ago.

The prebuilt binaries are down :/

Probably. It’s just odd to me that all the ones I use/used a lot have pretty much zero PC games. Torrentleach isn’t really a gaming tracker, still just odd that console piracy has grown so much in the past few years.

That makes a lot of sense. I thought it was really odd that there were 50+ pages for Switch games but only like 3 for PC games. Reason would say that if you’re buying a $2000 PC, you’re less likely to have a desire to not pay for games. Even I’ve moved away from PCs and switched to Android emulation because of price.

I’d definitely be more likely to buy a Switch or PS4 than a new PC right now. And I’d probably be pirating on them

Recently became an unexpected foster parent. I have my old account, don’t have the money to buy a 2nd copy right now.

Usenet is pretty much the only place where you can find truly everything. Many of the original seasons and episodes are lost media. So you can’t actually get everything without a private tracker or Usenet

Federally, ship has already sailed. I’ll still vote for the lesser evil on local matters, as I like school funding

Pretty sure it’s only Empress. On another note, I would not believe the Empress story if I hadn’t been around long enough to actually watch everything play out in real time.

100 isn’t enough to really be worth anything too serious. The smart thing to do is either save it for something bigger or just have fun with it. Best way I spent 100 as a kid was on pizza and shit for me and my friends. A Minecraft server and some pizza is like 30 bucks, provides hours of fun

Buy a copy of Minecraft, best purchase I ever made

Windows Defender is fine. The only anti-virus good enough at what it does to be worth buying instead of just using WD is Emisisoft, and that has its own set of issues.

They do, but there are still plenty of old people who like Coldplay

Joe Pera episode that reminds me of this. Warning, this episode makes me cry, like a lot. It isn’t sad, but I don’t think most people are prepared for a show like Joe Pera where there is no cynicism whatsoever. There is nothing to take away from the punch of the emotional moments. By far the most unique show to ever air on Adult Swim. The show is PG for the most part, it’s just very

Joe Pera Talks You Back To Sleep and Joe Pera Reads The Church Announcements (episodes of the show, first one is the linked one) are just some of the greatest recordings ever. Church Announcements is not about the church announcements, and is instead about Joe discovering a new song to obsess over on the radio, Baba O’Reilly by The Who. The next 8 minutes is essentially a compilation of an autistic man stimming out of escasty. This isn’t played for laughs. It’s just letting us share his autistic joy for the episode.

Surprised by Khalid on here, kinda thought he was irrelevant at this point

I was on Tidal forever ago. To answer the most important question, no the higher quality audio files aren’t total snake oil. Certain offerings definitely sound better. Amazon Music generally offers higher sound quality though. Tidal also do pay artists better, but Napster is the best about payment if I’m not mistaken (ironic as fuck).

As for the app though… It’s been a few years, but this is where everything that offers sound quality goes to shit. The desktop player was ass and the website was ass. It didn’t know how to handle Last.fm and other things I’d consider basics for Audiophiles. Amazon Music’s UI was even worse, I cancelled it after 2 days.

Spotify has the best value proposition. Hulu+Spotify for 10 bucks is good. I also question how long Tidal will be able to continue existing.

That’s a thinker

Some, yes, but many of the things that Europeans go “whoa how could they have possibly done that” (waterworks, roads, pyramids) when the Romans or people adjacent to the Romans were able to do it 1000+ years earlier. Not trying to do the whole “primitive” bit, more just saying that a lot of the shit white people say was “impossible” from brown people of their era was achieved by people they considered white thousands of years earlier. Logically speaking, there is no reason that indigenous people wouldn’t have been able to figure out many of the things white people credit to aliens.
