If you're still using Google (try DuckDuckGo instead?) for some reason and want REAL search results, make sure to use that More dropdown and the Web option/feature this article mentions at the end, the one I joked about yesterday. Here's a little longer piece about all Google's changes, etc.

Going through a small Meat Puppets playlist I just threw together quickly to boost my mood. It's only three hours long. 😂 #NowPlaying #MeatPuppets

Current Meat Puppets lineup. From left to right, Curt's son Elmo on far left, then original drummer Derrick who is now back, Curt and Cris Kirkwood, and new keyboard player Ron Stabinsky. All standing outside in Arizona in front of a bunch of cactus.

@wendigo ha! Well briefly, from these albums, I threw some of my favorites on, not to say there's not songs on MANY of their other albums I love (nothing before 89 here - although I love the first stuff too) but these are my Meat Puppets go-to LPs. All perfect albums to me but one, which is close. And since you have all the albums, it should be pretty easy. In chronological order,

*Monsters (perfect)
*Forbidden Places (perfect)
*Too High to Die (perfect)
*No Joke! (perfect minus a song or two I don't like)
*Sewn Together (perfect)
*Lollipop (perfect)
*Rat Farm (perfect)
*Dusty Notes (perfect)

This is a 17 song playlist with a lot of my favorites, too - pretty much all from those albums. https://youtu.be/ZLAnAnXziok?si=vNgGQ7ENtWiL1kka

@jake4480@c.im avatar

@Matthew there's so much good on NES, SNES, Genesis but that PS1.. it has Diablo and so many shooters, I really think I emulate those most haha.

@brandonwrites we've talked about this! I do try to avoid a lot of negative music too, a lot of times. It really helps along with cutting that news 😀

@buru5@mstdn.games avatar

I have it on good authority that "Switch 2" (named the "Swipe") is a card-based console with a card reader built into the unit. The cards, once swiped, unlock access to: full games, wallpapers, avatars, DLC, and even apps like Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix. The Swipe will be released by the end of Q2 2025, alongside over 200 cards purchased separately in booster packs.

One of the neat things about this is that, if you still have old e-Reader cards, you can swipe them for fun extras.

@buru5 you have to be 100% right on this

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@rootcompute @buru5 I only like games with pointless storylines told in long, unkippable cutscenes, a lot of difficult, convoluted controls, and constant frustrating and unfulfilling boss battles

🔗 High-speed rail (supposedly) finally coming to the U.S. by 2028 (I know, we're slow on the uptake over here)

@alabut oh man, this. My dream would be Vegas, LA, Phoenix and Tucson all connected. I'd be the happiest hahaha

@alabut 😂 exactly. And I hate flying too, not that I'm afraid, but I just haaate it, it's awful haha

Off to see Phantom Menace. Thankfully, Star Wars is not brain intensive viewing. I tried to get out of it, but my buddy took the day off... ;>)

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo 😂 I mean.. it has issues. Some of it's the pacing and there's oddness. It's the weakest of all the movies for sure even including the new ones. But yeah I still dig it. Important backstory I guess? The age difference between the two too.. Hmm haha

jake4480, to Metal
@jake4480@c.im avatar

3 albums that come out Friday I'm definitely listening to:

*Goblin Daycare - Agitprop Hotline
*Pathology - Unholy Descent
*Shellac - To All Trains

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo I heard new Pathology and I'm gonna do the Shellac again tomorrow to really focus on it. Most excited for Goblin Daycare hahaha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo yeah, I remember liking Pathology's last record more. Just more diverse it felt? Not even sure. And yeah Goblin Daycare egg punk, wow. Those guys are wild 😂

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo the 82 one? Woooo oh man. Gotta do my annual watch haha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo same on both. It's so strange that last song is I Don't Fear Hell I mean whatttt haha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo so great, and the sequel. That 2011 one.. I tried. I really did. I like Momoa too, he even kinda has the look even more than Arnie. But I couldn't get through it. Like the new Total Recall. Dull trash 😂

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo it pretty much always fails. I know they're trying to do stuff for younger audiences to see stuff but it usually feels like a money grab recently.

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo all of these are good points, yeah Arnie brings some weirdness and comedy - especially stuff like Total Recall, and he had to really push to get some of these made, I think, he knows a good story/screenplay when he finds one clearly haha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo yes- and his delivery. SCREW YOU, BENNY 😂

jake4480,

@wendigo oh man yeah. We're doin it. 😂😂😂
