Longtime MMO players can be some of the most jaded, whiny, entitled assholes this side of the dudebros. The tiniest bug in a game that’s still in development makes them cry, convinced that every MMO is doomed because Blizzard ARGLE BARGLE.

They’re probably the same assholes who are still whining about EverQuest 12 years after they stopped playing it and about every MMO since WoW launched because they’re sooper speshul snowflakes who want a deep, compelling gameplay experience where every level takes 476517849185 hours to complete, the game world takes six years to travel across, and everyone else will see their +5 Sword of Awesome and marvel at their virtual boner.

I played MMOs for a long time, but the longtime playerbase of those games have left me a bit bitter. Heh.

With the exceptions of the first two X-Men films, Marvel has proven they have no idea how to bring their comic franchises to the screen without turning them to utter shit. I will never forgive them for their non-treatment of the Silver Surfer. I thought the Avengers films were embarrassing. Then again, they’re living in the shadow of “The Dark Knight”.

Really? I see it the opposite way. IMO Marvel have done a fairly good job of building a consistent world and creating a series of films that cross over with each other and tie in together. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen since they took the reins and started filming their own movies.

I’d love to see DC do something similar, but apart from the Nolan trilogy of films, they’ve been wildly inconsistent in world building. They’re also decades from doing a Justice League film at the pace they’re going. It would be nice if they proved me wrong, though.

And the survey is out of date, since it came out before the ‘nuclear option’, which will likely change perceptions of the president’s power. But Greenwald doesn’t care about that, because GG considers Obama acceptance of and use of of the national security apparatus he was left by President Bush the Younger to be ‘treason’.

They do not see the security apparatus as something that has been tasked to maintain security, They see it only as a tool to control and dominate us. Although there is a danger of the latter, I do not see that as their sole purpose and motivation for what they do.

Odd goings on in downtown Philly this morning.

Saw 6-7 police cars spontaneously (as in all arriving at once) appearing and blocking off a block-long section of a street. They also put yellow tape up blocking sidewalk access.

30 or so minutes later a helicopter turns up and starts hovering *very* low over one of the buildings on that block. Civilian markings - not police or military. It eventually lowers a winch line, but then moves off without picking anything up.

Now the copter is back - with a big piece of pipe in the winch sling. Guess there is some repair work going on, probably cooling/ventilation.

Was not sure what it could be. From the equipment around it looks like someone is filming something at the Comcast Center (1 block east), and the building the copter and police are around has a bunch of stuff in it, including the local Israeli consulate*.

The cats are sitting on the window sill watching the copter.

* - Which draws weekly protests every Friday afternoon with a smaller counterprotest across the street from it.

Finished dogwalk—produced an attitude change. A hardcore veteran down the street flies a well-kept American flag more or less constantly. Today it is up, with two regulation mourning streamers still in place from yesterday. Thought him a bit of a RW doof, so he goes up a few notches.

One thing Greenwald doesn’t understand is that, while he may be a hit on Twitter, most of the planet is getting a little bored with the trickle, trickle of information. Most people are no longer outraged, and those who are are either paranoid fringe types or people who stand to profit from said activities. One day he’ll piss off the wrong people and then he’ll feel like a victim. I look forward to reading about his experience then.

For some reason I can’t begin to explain, that song is the only song I can simultaneously sing and play on the guitar. And I don’t even like the song all that much.

Trying to play+sing any other song you can imagine, including the alphabet song, becomes as much of a train wreck as blackout-drunk Amy Winehouse trying to sing Mozart’s “Queen of the Night” aria while juggling flaming chainsaws.

I have a suspicion that the song should be of interest to the SCP Foundation.

My mother was a rabid fan of the RAY CONNIFF SINGERS. Take the sterotypically whitest-sounding vocalists you can find, add a ridiculous amount of reverb, and deliver the lyrics like a coked-up 1970s game show host. THAT is my perception of the Ray Conniff Singers. They put out at least one album of Christmas music, and my mother wore that shit out every year from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day.

Example one: Youtube Video

I lived in the Pacific Northwet for 15 years. If you don’t ride in the rain there, you don’t ride.

But in Tucson, they don’t know what to do with the water when in rains. It runs over the roads, and people drive across anyway. One died yesterday.

Gore-Tex is still a thing, but there are lots of fabrics out that do the same thing. I sell a jacket for $35.00 that is waterproof and breathable.

One thing I dislike about so much of the pop music of the past 40 years is the increasing reliance on electronic instruments, and in the case today of computers - non-human “musicians”.

Bah. Best thing is to get rid of all the toys and use the instrument God intended you to use:

[Embedded content]

Wrong, wrong, wrong
“There are only two kinds of music
Good and bad, that is” - Duke Ellington

Electronic instruments are just instruments, they don’t make music good or bad themselves, though all instruments suit some styles better than others

I used to hate all non-guitar based music until I had a sort of epiphany in ‘94 (IIRC) watching Orbital play their first live gig at Glasto
If you had tried to tell me beforehand two guys twiddling knobs on a stage could be a genuine live experience, let alone one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen, I’d have simply not believed you - but it opened up whole worlds of music I’d closed my ears to

Most electronic music is crap, but remember Sturgeon’s Law:
99% of EVERYTHING is crap

Sheesh. Reminds me of the day I went out for a ride, tempting the Rain God. I convinced myself that those rain clouds I could see coming in from the Northwest would take half an hour longer to reach me than they did. There I was, 8 miles from home, with no way to make that distance shorter, before the era of universal cell phones, when the worst rain I’ve ever seen in my life hit.

I had a rain jacket, for all the good it did. Within 30 seconds, I was so wet I could feel the water sloshing back and forth in my shoes. I tried to decide which route home was safest, and as usual, made the exactly WRONG choice.

I thought I’d ride on the sidewalks to avoid car traffic, so I chose a particular way home. Turned out that the sidewalks on the road I chose had no wheelchair accessible curb cuts, so I had to unclip, dismount, walk the bike across, remount, reclip, and roll on to the next intersection, again and again and again.

Then, I had to descend a really steep hill - fortunately straight - with wet rims and brakes. By the time I got home, the white fork on my bike had big black streaks on both blades from worn-off brake pad and wheelrim.

All this time, at least 1/2 hour, it was raining buckets. It started out kinda funny, but by the end I wasn’t laughing anymore.

Burley Rain Gear was the best. Made in a cooperative in Cottage Grove (later moved to Eugene) Oregon. No longer a cooperative, no longer making rain gear, Burley is till there, making trailers.

Their rain gear at first was all coated nylon, so it stayed waterproof forever. Had huge pit-zips and velcro front closure and sleeve closures so you could vent it just right to avoid sweating yourself wet. Then they made some pseudo-gore-tex stuff too for a while. I’m sure Chinese textiles (and burnout from running a cooperative) killed them.

Fully satisfied with FF, but looking for something better than Linux Mint. Might go for a newer Ubuntu.

I’ve been farting around with Linux since about 1995, and using it totally fer reals since 2004. I am “The Linux Guy” in my IT-oriented job. I only mention this because lately it seems that anyone who has successfully installed Ubuntu twice now considers themselves a Linux expert, which is approximately the same as someone who has correctly aired up the tires on a Beetle and therefore considers themselves a master Volkswagen mechanic.

When you say you are “looking for something better than Linux Mint”, I wonder what you mean. Are you dissatisfied with the Mint desktop environment? If so, which one? Mint? KDE? MATE? Xfce? Do you hate the package manager? Do you have hardware that isn’t supported? What -specifically- is/are the source(s) of your malcontent?

Afternoon Lizardim from the bitterly cold and clear wild north country. I’m finally getting around to going through the Kokomo Tribune’s photos of the devastation wrought by last Sunday’s storm. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before, but it’s different this time, when it’s my hometown and my people. I recognize these places on the screen; I know where these people live. It’s not impersonal anymore, and it hurts. But true to our Midwestern heritage, we’re already getting back on our feet. My sister’s house finally got their power back mid-week, and after restocking the fridge and clearing out a single downed limb, they’re back home and thankful for the miracle that spared their house and its brand-new roof. How go things among the lizardfolk on this brilliantly sunny and bloody cold afternoon?
