I once heard politics likened to public transit. No, it's not a door to door service that gets you exactly where you want to go. However, it can get you in the general direction you're headed, and it's obviously better to get closer to your destination than going opposite damn direction.

We're moving a bunch of people around, not everyone can have a perfect route.

Until she is elected, I will be a solid supporter. As soon as she's elected, I'll go back to being a critic. But lordy, I'd vote for a literal clown before a Trump.

So far...

Obviously still has fair share of dumb stuff happening with these systems today, but there have been some big steps in just the last few years. Wouldn't be surprised if it was much spookier a decade from now.

In general, good to use as a tool to be taken with grain of salt and further review.

Oh man, yeah Ash is muy caliente! Barely dipped the toe in there with some of da boyes and it was problematic... Good to save those raids for a proper mean squad.

I have two big mantras I subscribe to:

  • "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing in excess."
  • "All things in moderation."

Somewhere between the two, we balance the debauchery, somewhat.

Might've just been the glass slipper my hands needed then. Felt like a peak optimization of the sony layout, least in my mitts.

I know several folks who prefer the offset Xbox style, but I always appreciated the more symmetrical design of PlayStation. Thumbs were same height on controller for FPS or fighting genres, which I did a bunch of back then. Didn't mind offset thumbs for other games like God of War. I think the designer in me also appreciated sony's cleaner aesthetic as well.

Back in the day, I think it was Logitech or similar who redesigned a PlayStation controller with some minor ergonomic tweaks. It was a masterpiece. This was back in maybe PS2/PS3 era.

Sounds see if any modern versions exist. I'm still a Sony controller purist, having never really fallen in love with Xbox like so many others.

Fully, a MASSIVE amount of what I'm into now came from Tony Hawk games and [adult swim] and the trajectory that put me on. [adult swim] was for sure the MTV of my generation.

By the time I was watching MTV, it was still some TRL and music vids, but also a big dose of Room Raiders, etc... And it eventually fell out of fashion. [AS] definitely had their finger on the pulse of what the cool cats were to tho. Such a hip scene. I still vividly recall a bump for Boondocks featuring Flying Lotus' song Massage Situation that felt mind blowing.

Weird to think where I'd be without either.
