  • I mean, yeah fear is a big part of extreme sports, but it isn’t the attraction. You never heard Tony hawk say “hey, watch how scared I get when I attempt this trick”. That’s not the point. It’s about the satisfaction of improving motor skills and the ability to move in new and interesting ways. But mostly it’s just fun. Really it’s not so different from skill-based video games, it’s just that in real life you have to work your way up to the more advanced stuff to do it safely.








  • Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Gaming PC’s are expensive and a luxury! It makes sense economically. With consoles there’s an incentive to sell hardware cheap to get people into the ecosystem. With the exception of the steamdeck, there’s no such incentive for PC’s: if the hardware is worth x amount, you can bet your ass you’ll have to pay at least that. Yeah games are generally cheaper on PC, but not by much, and the barrier to entry is much lower for consoles. Hell, the PC I just built from used parts and Amazon deals cost me $800 (not including accessories), and while the processor and ram is almost certainly better than the ps5’s, the graphics are about on par, if anything slightly worse. You can find used ps5’s for less than $400. Is there really a used PC out there that can touch that?









  • I remember hearing this song all the time on the radio when I was younger, of course I started hearing it less and less. After probably 7 or 8 years of not hearing the song once I caught the very end of it on a rock radio station. I was like “oh wow I remember this song”. I tried to Shazam it but it ended right then, and I didn’t know any of the lyrics. I tried humming it to my brother, no dice.

    Probably a year or two later I hear it on the radio again (my local radio kinda stinks so I don’t listen often). “Oh shit this is it”. Go to Shazam it, song ends. “Fuck”. This happened no joke like two or three more times over the next year or two, but then I finally got it: No one knows - Queens of the Stone Age


  • In general, I feel like the music streaming market is in much better shape than TV streaming. Price increases have been modest, there’s no fighting for exclusive streaming rights (that I’m aware of). I pirate all of my movies and shows, but Spotify’s alright, for me it’s worth paying. And even if it turned to shit tomorrow, Tidal and Apple music are pretty good too.
