@eyepatchwolf.bsky.social Mr. John Eyepatch, why is American Dad successful while The Simpsons flounders? Many of the complaints levied against the latter and considered strengths of the former. Was classic Simpsons Just That Good or has the AD crew figured the secret for 20+ seasons of good stuff?

Butchered that slightly. I was going for a: is the Simpsons a “it’s all downhill from here” situation from the highs of the classic seasons and AD has an advantage of a comparatively less remarkable start that’s let them build things up thing but writing hard and brain dumb.

@emersontung.bsky.social Out our curiosity, did you spend any time with SteamBot Chronicles for the PS2? Some of your early WC era Brit walkers have a similar feel to the trots. Also, did you ever get around to a digital version of TH? Love the book to death but it’s a bit much to carry around.

@jeffgerstmann.com Hooking up an external GPU to your handheld gaming device for extra horsepower is just silly. The real pro gamer move is to self host a containerized instance of Steam bundled with Sunshine and run it in Kunernetes on a GPU node. The joke here is I actually do this. Send help.

@netshaq.bsky.social Do you know of a way to blend/mix yogurt that doesn’t liquify it? I make my own regularly but attempts to make some yogurt drinks like you see in East Asia just result in frothy flavored milk.

@thereiruinedit.bsky.social Hey, do you do commissions? I have a 20ish second audio shitpost I want to do for my brother’s “we’re having a baby” announcement and I lack the skills to execute before the kids does to college.

Delighted to hear they’re dropping a new Ace Combat game next year but distraught that DOG.PNG didn’t feature heavily in the trailer.

@patstaresat.bsky.social What is your home networking setup? I was a bit surprised to hear you were using a telecom provided router given how critical your line of work is for internet uptime. Could be a CA thing, but I kind of doubt the telecoms up there are competent as it’s shams their nature.

@edsbs.bsky.social After umpteen years of nice cosy comfortable murderball, putting DeBoar at the helm really does seem like the universe balancing the scales with a one two monkey’s paw/“May you live in interesting times” curse. We won, I’m happy, I also want to die.

@dancarlin.bsky.social Dan are there any plans to revisit/do your bubonic plague episode in a post Covid world? I’m going through the back catalogue and it’s darkly hilarious by way of some of your “imagine this happening to you” bits.

@jeffgeerling.com I’m sure it wouldn’t do near the numbers of your usual stuff but a secondary channel taking a similar approach to SDRs that you’ve done for Linux and so on would be of great interest. These things are neat but holy hell I do not understand them.

@smartereveryday.bsky.social Destin do you all have a form or PoC for folks looking to set up B2B connections for your scrubber? The Mrs and I do a side business setting up overseas outdoor gear with US B&M retailers and I’d love to help out spreading the good word of things that are Built By Bama.

@bransonreese.bsky.social Branson, does the Rude Tales Crew have a stated stance on which generation of the Nick Saban era Crimson Tide wide receiver corps was the most of the chain? Inquiring mind want to know. It could be minds, but I suspect I’m alone in my perversions.

At an ice skating facility near the SC border and am making very good use of the fact that if you ask a DJ around here to “Play some Skynyrd” they will, in fact, play some fukkin Skynyrd.

I’m in Brooklyn sitting next to a dead ringer for Dale Earnhardt But Gay and I have no idea what to do with this information.

I kind of want to tell the dude “Hell Yeah” but there’s also a decent chance it’s a coincidence. Don’t really want to bother him either. That said he’s wearing The Glasses and has The Mustache so I have to imagine he’s purposely going for it.

@wxbrad.bsky.social I’ve been thinking about the state of CLT weather and the new radar we’re getting eventually. Is there an advantage to having sparsely dispersed high power/cost radar systems? Would it be possible to achieve similar results with more dispersed cheaper/lower powered units?

This Super Bowl halftime show would be great if I could actually hear the lyrics. I bet Drake is behind this.

@technotim.bsky.social Hey there Tim, do you know of any projects or write ups on setting up a “Streaming First” server for games? Chucking Steam into a Windows VM with a pass through GPU works decently but I’m curious if anyone has done the legwork already.

@bransonreese.bsky.social The Chavez2 pun is god awful and you lack any sense of shame, excellent work. Also did you tweak something in how your stuff is embedded in your feed for the past two comics? They’re not showing up like they used to. Not a huge matter but I wanted to ask before debugging.

Sweet Jesus I found the only place in China that not only asks if you if want lemon with your water, they keep your ice topped off as well. Bless this barkeep, may she live forever.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Hey there Derek! Are there any decent means of keeping one's legs dry and warm during the winter months that aren't either a long coat or some ski pants? Layering seems to do well enough, but that doesn't save you from wetter weather.
