I had to explain to someone that calling him Governor Wheels wasn’t insulting people in wheelchairs in general, it was insulting him specifically.
My wife told me tonight that the GOP got bluekakked.

Yeah, that’s a good one. I like the Illuminati Papers and Right Where You Are Sitting Now as well!
All of Wilson is fantastic, but this is probably the most accessible of his fiction.
His non-fiction though, man, throw a dart. 😉
Tostada?
Yes, they peaked during Covid.

Game consoles never used to have those features either. 😉 That’s the trick, you need a set that supports modern console features.
HDR management being a good one. The game developers encoded HDR to make a game look a specific way, you don’t want a set that either over-rides it and does it’s own, similarly you don’t want a dumb set that doesn’t support HDR.
All that BS is more beneficial to gaming than a generic TV, especially if your focus is low lag.
It varies model to model and year to year, but in general you want a television with either a “Game” mode or “ALLM” (Auto Low Latency Mode).
So on the LG C5 model that’s popular right now:

VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) - Yes (Up to 144Hz)
ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) - Yes
FreeSync™ - Yes
Game Optimizer - Yes
G-Sync Compatible (Nvidia) - Yes
HGIG Mode - Yes (disables the TV tone mapping and allows the game to control HDR - “HDR Gaming Interest Group”)
Response Time - Less than 0.1ms
We had one group of three kids and their parents, that was it. I blame the rain storm. We got hit with an “atmospheric river” that started about 2 bours before it got dark. 😭
Good news everyone!
My heart has stopped a couple of times now… if nobody had actually told me, I never would have known. I have an implant that watches for that now.
Me, waking up in the hospital, fiddling around on my phone. Nurse comes in.
“Hey, were you asleep about an hour ago?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Your heart stopped for 8 seconds.”
“Um… ‘thank you’? I don’t know the correct response to ‘your heart stopped’. Wait, shouldn’t the alarms have gone off? I don’t remember hearing anything.”
“Oh, they go off at the nurses station.”
Babylon 5, season 1, is largely skippable.
2 and 3 are very good. 4 is the single best season of sci-fi television ever done.
Ideally, you watch it all in order.
In a pinch? 2-3-4-1-5.

Never the same after Reservoir Dogs.
