I love when the track goes completely silent for a single rest after some buildup and then punches back into the full chorus. If that “gap” in noise is part of the melody itself it’s even cooler. It makes the following sound so much more impactful, even if the actual volume hasn’t increased by much.

Surprisingly few PSX titles here, glad to see a fellow Toy Story 2 enjoyer here, haha.

When I was four or so I my family went to have lunch at another family friends house. Their sons were a bit older than me at the time, and they let me play some games on their new PlayStation console. I can’t remember exactly what order we played them in, but the first game I ever played was either Ape Escape or Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Both games are excellent and hold a special place in my heart to this day.

I recall hearing a long time ago that most news sites, magazines, newspapers, etc. tend to target a sixth grade reading level. So, I don’t know if there’s been a sharp rise, but it’s not really surprising considering how far beyond most readers should be.

My assumption is that he means the recommendation algorithms for social media and content feeds like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

Rick Darge is fantastic if you’re into high-quality, short form sketch comedy. Krazam has grown recently but is still relatively small and makes more tech-related sketches.

You could get hit by a truck the day after having your child leaving them without a parent. Don’t let fear hold you back. No one lives without experiencing any suffering at all, it’s just part of life. If you love your children and care for them, then they’re already setup to have a much better life than most will.

Oh man, we can’t make Han look like the bad guy! Just a quick select -> translateX -20% should do the trick.

That might be more water than most water.

My wife and I have gone on and off Keto/Low-carb diets when we start gaining weight and it works really well for both of us I ended up losing ~30lbs in the first four months. I haven’t really had to watch calories at all as the diet itself will usually naturally lower your calorie intake for the same volume of food. I don’t work out at all as I don’t have the time in my schedule between kids, work, and social obligations. I’m a programmer as well so all of my work is done sitting at a desk

English is the language that most western countries speak, and most education systems in other countries teach English as a second language.

 

I'm in the process of renovating our basement for use as a home theater, and I have space to put up eight distinct movie posters. I plan on commissioning posters through an artist that I like so that they will all have a shared art style and appearance, so the look of the official movie poster doesn't matter to me. What I'm trying to do is select eight of the most iconic films of all time, across these genres:

  • Action/Adventure
  • Comedy
  • Drama
  • CGI/3D Animation
  • 2D Animation
  • Science Fiction
  • Mystery/Thriller (Not horror)
  • Fantasy

So, if you were to pick out a set like this, which would you choose?
