Pedal Steel. First time I saw one played live was at a Bright Eyes show when I was in high school. I know they’ve been around for a long time and are prominent in country music, but watching and hearing it played in person just blew me away. I feel like the instrument conveys so much emotion in its sound

slowd0wn,

And concerning Spotify: I read they pay an artist at most a third of a cent per streamed song. I think they’re ripping off the artists.

While Spotify doesn’t make artists much money at all, I think the focus should really be on the record labels. Labels are dinosaurs and really have no business being so prolific in today’s music industry. If I had to choose between waging war on Spotify or labels, I’d be coming for the labels first.

slowd0wn,

Yeah, they’re fantastic for, uh, “vases”

slowd0wn,

I see that your wife and my wife have the same remote on their wishlists

slowd0wn,

Newegg mostly sucks due to their shitty return policy. All too often people get faulty parts and Newegg either refuses to accept the return or charges a 20% restocking fee for a product that never worked. Places like Amazon or B&H often have similar prices for less hassle. That being said, I’ve ordered plenty of stuff on Newegg and not had an issue.

For storage, you’ll only fit one of the nvme drives in this motherboard. I’d recommend a SATA 3 SSD if you want more space for things like game installs. If you want storage for media like photos, movies, etc., traditional spinning drives can’t be beat for $/gb.

Everything else looks pretty good. If you can swing an extra $200, the Ryzen 5800x3d is pretty much the best gaming CPU on the AM4 platform. If you can’t, I honestly wouldn’t sweat it. The build from pcmasterrace will be an awesome gaming rig just as it is.

slowd0wn,

If it’s just for game storage, I would just look for a good price on something from a reputable brand (WD, Kingston, Samsung, TeamGroup, even Sandisk or PNY). The OS will be installed on the nvme drive, and loading times for games won’t be terribly impacted by the different speeds offered by SATA drives as there are other limitations in the loading process. After a quick google search, something like this would work great. The only thing you want to avoid are brands with very little info/reviews or drives with a price that is too good to be true (looking at you, $15 drives on Temu).

slowd0wn,

Pretty sure they only hate Jewish immigrants. There seems to be a lot of crossover between American anti-semites and people who want Israel to carpet bomb Gaza

slowd0wn,

I haven’t played many of the indie games on the list, but I’m glad to see Sea of Stars get some love. It’s probably the best game I’ve played in the last year

slowd0wn,

Never in my life have I watched a trailer with so little information that got me so hyped

slowd0wn,

It’s gonna be some form of horror game. I’ve heard speculation that Kojima regained the rights to P.T. (The door you see in her eyes at the end of the trailer looks like the same door as in P.T.) so it may be somehow related to that

slowd0wn,

This is very true. Maybe he wants to recreate some of his ideas with PT without infringing on copyright or trademark. I know he’s made cryptic references to PT before, this might be his way of bringing to life his vision while avoiding legal trouble

slowd0wn,

You got me interested enough that I had to research. According to this article from CNN, there has been no official confirmation that babies were beheaded by Hamas. There are reports from Israeli ground troops claiming such, but the claims have not been able to be confirmed by any government or media outlet.

Not to say that Hamas hasn’t committed terrible atrocities. The article has plenty of verifiable events that took place. Israel has had their share of atrocities in this conflict as well. But this floating-head talking point of “decapitated babies” seems to just be mostly outrage bait designed to evoke an emotional response to a complex and horrific conflict.

slowd0wn,

You’re moving the goalposts. I was responding in regards to your claim of beheaded babies, where you stated, “ The evidence has been scrutinized by international agencies.” I never said anything about my stance on Hamas or Israel.

slowd0wn,

This was exactly what I was thinking. I remember trying to run it on my GTX 970 and it definitely struggled in places. Expecting this to be 30fps max with low graphics on the Switch.

slowd0wn,

This is really a shame. Insurgency is one of the best FPS games I’ve ever played

slowd0wn,

Developers don’t use early access to get feedback on lore, world-building and visual aesthetic. They get feedback on gameplay balance and bugs. A movie/TV studio doesn’t have gameplay, it’s all visual. Apples to oranges comparison

slowd0wn,

The long pork equivalent of wagyu

I hate how the holidays create all this extra responsibility and stress out of nowhere and then the media / culture also act like you're meant to be having such fun the whole time

like all the fuckin ads with the hugging families around winter. any educationally normal adult knows everyone just gets more stressed, with travel and gifts and social obligations and everything, but you’re not even allowed to…openly feel that, it seems? it’s like there’s this happiness benchmark you have to reach,...

slowd0wn,

We do this in my family as well, with the exception that we all buy stocking stuffers to fill whoever’s stockings we want. Everyone in my family enjoys finding little treats or fun small gifts to put in everyone’s stockings and it’s great to see what everyone comes up with

slowd0wn,

Her manager and one of the other co-workers participating in the group sex act were vomiting, she said in her lawsuit. While one vomited in the trash, the other threw up right in her guacamole bowl, she alleged.

Probably the best paragraph in the whole article.

slowd0wn,

You’re just saying tea tea

slowd0wn,

Just started playing it, but I’m loving the combat in Sea of Stars. You get that traditional JRPG turn-based combat, but you also get “skill-based” timing to do additional damage or block some damage. That and the way they handle the turns, and the ability to “stagger” with different attack/magic combos makes the combat very engaging

slowd0wn,

I think this is very likely the reason OP feels the way they do. I just left a job after 2-1/2 years. I knew I didn’t want to stay there from the moment I started. It was an in-beteeen job while I looked for something better. I knew it, my bosses knew it. I was so excited about the prospect of finding a new job and actually doing something better with my life. However, the moment I actually got a job offer, that excitement turned to anxiety and dread. I was venturing into the unknown. My mind instantly shifted to focus on all the negatives of the new job.

Change is terrifying. So much so that sometimes we simply try to do nothing in order to avoid it.

slowd0wn,

I guess maybe some people want to get it without using Steam? But yeah this was my thought too lol

slowd0wn,

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

slowd0wn,

Guess again
