Yeah, and I tried Tenacity, and it doesn’t want to work at all. Guess I’m sticking with old Audacity.

Hmm. You are correct. On both my Windows and Linux machines, I am on Audacity 2.4.2. I’ve been using it for years, now. I never changed my sources, and it never stopped working. Haha!

Doesn’t sound like they actually went through with it?

They did not. I use Audacity regularly on more than one platform. It collects no data from me. It also hasn’t received an update in years, but still does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well.

That said, I hadn’t heard of Tenacity until this thread, and it looks like I shall be migrating over to that anyway. Better safe than sorry.

Agreed! A good, campy action movie is great. The problem with Mission Impossible is that it otherwise took itself entirely seriously.

The first time I remember absolutely losing my suspension of disbelief was at the end of the first Mission Impossible reboot where Tom Cruise puts an explosive on a helicopter he’s hanging on the outside of that’s flying behind a train through a tunnel, and the explosion completely destroys the helicopter and flings him onto the back of the train. Yeah, that helicopter (which probably couldn’t be flying through a train tunnel to begin with) was made of far tougher material than Tom Cruise. Any explosion that destroyed it, would have turned him into a stain on the wall of the tunnel.

A lot of people say Star Wars is a blatant rip off of Dune. Yeah, only Lucas skipped just about everything that made Dune relevant.

I like to include profanity in all my comments for spiciness.

Because, like many, you can’t remember the name of that game, but just about everyone knows about Palworld.

I generally hate racing games. The one I do remember playing a lot was 1990’s Stunts. It was an early polygonal game. You could make your own tracks. It’s was pretty ahead of its time.

You can’t absolve “us” of all the responsibility. We wouldn’t be in this situation if the masses weren’t so easy to manipulate into supporting corruption. The vast majority of us would take the quick-and-easy-yet-destructive path over the long-and-hard-productive one most of the time. Remove those 100-or-whatever by violent revolution tomorrow, and someone else will rise to the top of the stink heap the next day. Real change requires sacrifice at all levels of society.

I have an XBox 360 controller lying around that still works great. I have a couple DS4s that still work great even though the rubber started coming off the analog sticks. The one Dualsense I bought crapped out after a single year of moderate use.

What you want is “seinen” anime, which is intended for an older audience. Most anime is “shonen”, which is intended for kids. (Not that there’s anything wrong with an adult enjoying shonen.) There are more genres and specifications, but I am not that into anime.

Dragonball is shonen. Cowboy Bebop is seinen. There are loads of great seinen shows out there.

Yeah, I might get back to it sometime. It is a mish-mash of so many video game tropes I love. It was just one particular instance where I forced myself through a dungeon as fast as I could, got frustrated with the boss and died a couple of times, finally made it, and wasn’t fast enough to beat the NPC that just completely ticked me off and made me put it down. Those monk trial things really tested my patience for a bit there, too.

Long, long puzzle dungeons that encourage you to race against the NPCs. I hated that mechanic so much, I never finished the game.
