There are a lot of reasons in here about how bad reviews kill products, but I didn’t see mentioned how exceptional a product has to be to garner GOOD reviews. A business will get to the point of almost harassing you to leave a good review. In my experience people leave reviews when they are unhappy, and say nothing when they are satisfied.

An example of this was Teenage Engineering K.O. II EP-133 sampler. A bunch got released with broken fader knobs and the wave of bad reviews and complaints flooded in, drowning out the actual pros and cons of the device. T.E. isn’t exactly floundering from it, but in another circumstance that could have killed the product (which I find to be phenomenal).

Practically a nightmare, but as a fantasy kinda cool. Initial D but they are theremin drifting would be kinda sick lol

I think those other guys have it all wrong. You shouldn’t feel pressured to ditch a reliable machine for something that is still being tested. You may want to consider encouraging younger people to invest in those things because commercially valued electric vehicles are really only just hitting their stride. 15 years from now is when people will say “I bought my electric car for 30,000 usd, that’s right, not credits!”

There are much bigger threats to the environment than people driving cars right now, that are simple to solve (but not easy). However, be careful about singing thr praises of the old because others become too wary of the new.

As a guy who luckily only had to deal with the shitty realm of PUA in the early 2000s, I will say that typically it’s not a bike crash that gets you in the road. It’s more like you stumble across some con man who says he can “pick up any girl he wants and he’ll show you how!” So being a young impressionable male you try the advice and it usually doesn’t work. That leads (me at least) down the path of misogyny and “nice-guy ness” (I’m very sorry, I’m better now), and bada boom you’ve got yourself a roganite.

First, I’m just happy that there is a TMBG topic. Nobody ever talks about them and I like them a lot.

Second, John F writes love songs and I’m into it. I’m pretty sure “She’s an Angel” is his “Twisting” is great. With that said John L. Just has really good weird sounds that are pop enough to be palatable. Songs like “you’re on fire”, “dr. Worm”, and I’m pretty sure “the lady and the tiger” is his. To say who’s better is like comparing radio head to the talking heads, they just make different stuff.

Last, thanks for this. I really like tmbg and don’t really get to talk about them with anyone

I got some advice and I’m still living it so I can’t say if it’s worth it but:

“Spend money on the things you enjoy and cut everything else to the bare minimum”

So if you like having a nice house more than going to a sporting event you shouldn’t be budgeting for the sporting event. Just don’t go. If you love great food but hate driving, buy kitchen accessories not dinners. That sort of thing.

I’m not explaining it as well though

I’ve always sucked at geography and knowing anything about the world in general, but I think it’s pretty cool that this land form kind of looks like a slingshot

I’m glad you said it, I read this and it bothered me. What about “steal a living” or “hunt a living” or “create a living”. I think the missing word is “for” you do these things “for a living”, that is to say, to get the resources you need to remain alive.

That said, I do get the message. The idea of living in a world so abundant but unfair that you live or die by what you can produce for someone else is pretty wrong

I’m not qualified in any feasible way to talk about this…but

Maybe it has to do with how individual developers make their games. Like if every game defaults screenshots to somewhere different it is difficult for steam to properly identify and place the file?

I think “Ippo’s Fighting Spirit” would be a solid one, but “Hajime no Ippo” has a certain ring to it that can’t be beat

Alright that got me lol
