I bought four-ply bougie toilet paper because the corner store was out of the regular plebeian three-ply paper.

Normal bog roll is two ply around these parts. If I got my hands on some of your four-ply luxury wipe I reckon I'd be using it one sheet at a time.

Anyways, I just got the Gunvolt Striker Pack on my 3ds. It's no Mega Man Zero but it's growing on me. Better than any actual Mega Man title released in the last few years....

It can't even maintain 30fps on Zelda when docked because 900p is too taxing.

On one hand, I agree that FPS bitching can be annoying but on the other hand the game is REALLY choppy and for some people that makes it physically hard to play for extended periods of time. I am the same with low FOV, which sucks when games don't accommodate it. I'm holding out hope that they'll patch the performance somehow.

He talked about not liking the notoriety of it a lot right from his early stand up. If that's what gets him ok with being back on the road again, I'm cool with it. They had a similar rule at a Justin Timberlake show I went to a decade ago and camera phones were dog poo poo then.

Are you talking about his policy of banning mobile devices during his show? I'm all for not letting retards wreck a show with beeps, trills, and holding that poo poo up to take a selfie or whatever. I was at a show where you placed your phone in a pouch which they gave to you to hold if you were dumb enough to bring it. You just get the pouch unlocked not he way out.

I hope this trend continues.

Having just left a concert where every idiot was filming the show above their head, I wholeheartedly agree.

Also, particularly for comedy shows, since once you've seen a joke once it loses a lot of its appeal.

But then don't you just have a pouch making noise you can't stop if you need to if some idiot doesn't mute or turn it off?

The pouch acts as a mini-faraday cage. There's no signal of any source getting to the phone. It's also fairly thick material, so I imagine any alarms or alerts (like from a calendar app) would be pretty muted. I didn't hear anything at the show I was at.

I played Zelda on the switch for like 6 hours straight yesterday, and didn't notice the FPS drop a single time. Granted, I'm not a stickler for stuff like that, but seriously, I didn't notice it once.

(It's already a contender for best video game I've ever played. Get it. Trust me.)
