I picked up a small tabletop sony radio from the 60s and like to broadcast albums from the era via a bluetooth fm transmitter to said radio. Pet Sounds has never sounded better than it does on a small plastic radio.

I can't believe the score in this game is 1-2-3-14!?

a close up of the score bug in the Boston/Yankees game. since the score is 0-0 it reads "B 0 N 0". I, a man that finds himself clever and funny, am suggesting that since that looks like the name Bono (of U2 fame) the score of the game is one to two to the to fourteen. get i? my gf says this is a dumb joke but she is wrong.

There is NO reason to update the Muppets. In fact - if I was in charge of a revival they'd be stuck in time and have no idea that technology exists. Lean into the analog upswing we find ourselves in. Shoot it in standard def and make Albert Brooks the first guest.

Convinced that most people making games have never taken an art class. One of the 1st lessons they would learn is "stand back from your work." A painting that is lovely from 2 feet away is great - but what's it look like from across a gallery!? People please! Roll those chairs back once in a while.

The Odyssey is a pretty good name for a movie about going on an odyssey but Other Mommy is a *perfect* name for a movie about having an other mommy.

“Jazz is about what happens between the notes.“ Really? Really?!!! I beg to differ. I’ve been listening to Jazz for over 50 years now, and I’m telling you, no kidding, the notes are my favorite part.

Impressed with what a great job NBC is doing with Sunday Night Baseball. The opposite of most every other national broadcast - there haven’t been any goofy interviews or baseball-free antics. Just a lovely, calmed presentation of the game.

Contained within the comments to this review is a HOF bad take. One of the worst I’ve ever seen. Every word of it scientifically provable as untrue.

A comment reading “May give it a rewatch, was never a fan of the Uma casting, I get he has a "thing" for her but her acting ability is just slightly above average and extremely unattractive.”

As @studiogulag.bsky.social always says - he’s done 2 of the 3 great american inventions (jazz, baseball) and the next logical one would be comic books.

Having just started digging into the post-game content of the base game, do you think waiting until I 100% that before downloading DLC is prudent? I can’t tell if the DLC would muddy the initial post-game a bit.
