Meh, there's been worse stuff than trap. It's just mostly boring, but I actually like some of the slower trap in the background on a hot doing nothing day. I like Mkannon because he reminds me of Biz Markie. e: Better start of a new page with some content. "Passion of the Nerd" is a dude who does Buffy and angel retrospectives. I didn't really know which video to post so I guess I'll just link his youtube channel lists for anyone who's interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=channel?UCeKXXs1A7EC60_AXoOl1Hsg?playlists Sarcopenia fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Apr 23, 2017 |

 So um, hey, Jim Sterling's latest video game review is pretty much a masterpiece. [quote=Horse Racing 2016 Review – Horse poo poo ]Since I think Sony must be high or trashed in order to continue letting digital excreta like this and Life of Black Tiger through the sluice gate, I’ve decided to get as close to hosed up as I can in order to write this review. In doing so, I hope to be struck by some stunning revelation and understand exactly what in the Christing gently caress is going through the heads of the “professionals” letting dangerously bad games near the public.[/quote]

You know, a thing that happens constantly in the world and probably something a group of young black men finding success in the music world have opinions on. I mean I get the context it's not that, but a song that's like half the lyrics making GBS threads on women and with a weird rapey or at least homophobic one thrown in there too didn't do much regardless of the framing for me, a dumb gay transperson, who just kind of takes stuff like that worse than your average whoever. I'm sorry for being so stupid and incendiary in earlier stuff, just didn't feel very good that a song that comes off so heavily against you and that you know a lot of assholes likely take at face value is a big popular deal when things are already bad enough anyway. Sorry thread for even making this dumb discussion or derail or whatever. Augus posted:So um, hey, Jim Sterling's latest video game review is pretty much a masterpiece.

That's cool. As a gay guy myself obviously I get a bit uneasy even with some of my favorite dudes in a lot of forms of entertainment having some real cool comments about people like me in their stuff at times. It just felt unfair to me to take a song very clearly about a character and try to act like it was the artist's views. Sorry if I came off as aggro there.

Part of the game is rappers usually play the villain. It's like being a heel in wrestling. While in a lot of musical genres you're usually supposed to empathise with or sympathize with the singer (in the narrative of the song) in gangstar rap the default is flipped. What I'm saying is it's kind of like the urban version of a disney villain song.

From everything I've heard, the HBO show is eerily accurate in its satire.

I'm still trying to figure out what market Juicero was supposed to target. Rich white people? They already have an overpriced juicer in their house. Hipster Whole Foods regulars? They're making their own juice recipes and have no use for your prepackaged crap. Regular consumers? lol no. This is one of those harebrained products that was designed to appeal to the investors and exactly no one else.

I don't get the point at all. If you're shelling out for a juicer, wouldn't you want one that can transform whole fruits and veggies into juice? Isn't this just the same as buying a bottle of juice, only $400 more expensive and with an extra ten steps to obtain your juice?

Juicer is a pretty strong name for a device that squeezes a prepared juice packet into a glass, and also has a bunch of useless internet stuff.

My personal favourite detail is still the fact that the Juicero is 2 feet tall. If you watch the instructional video they explicitly shoot the thing to disguise the fact it's not going to fit comfortably anywhere in your kitchen.

I think my favorite thing is that it's four hundred dollars. It's like a magic number for "high-end" single-purpose kitchen appliances, particularly of the "Keurig for X" variety like this and the tortilla machine.

It's $400 after a price drop, it was originally $700. The whole thing with being always online and needing QR codes is entirely to please investors. Keurig machines "lose money" because people buy cheap knockoff Keurig cups instead of on brand ones, so by requiring unique QR codes for every packet Juicero can force you to buy their brand. It's DRM for loving juice.

Also they charged you $8 for the can of coke.

The blog post where the CEO tries to defend the whole thing, probably written by dozens of marketing experts and the best reason they can come up with for the QR codes and the required wifi connection is a loving spinach recall. The entire thing says absolutely nothing, it's an empty collection of buzzwords. This got to be one of the best real life satires I have every seen.
