Here we are, seven years later, and yet two hours ago, another video proclaiming Fallout 76 to be a "failure" is released.

Rocky launch and protracted fixes aside, the game still very much exists, and still has an active player base to this day. And like it or not, the Atom Shop sells.

Failure? No
Whoever mixed the audio in that Lavazza YouTube ad with Steve Carell needs to be fired.
Wing Rack Update: Most of the rack mods, as well as all of my patch cables, arrive later today. The rack itself arrives Wednesday - my 48th birthday, yay. Only things left now are some necessary drill bits, and the one component I left out to stay under budget...
Once you realize that football is the only way ANY school makes money (or garners prestige), then this is less surprising.

Doesn't matter what the politics of the school are - the football program ALWAYS takes top priority.
The best part about the school voucher scam? Private religious schools use vouchers to recruit athletes.

They are defunding public schools to make their football teams better…
Kash Patel is a benchode.
It doesn’t get more pathetic than this. What a complete loser.
It's not often that LA dodges a bullet.

But it did yesterday.
Wing Rack Update: Alright, here we go. Now, there will be an actual rack to install the Wing et. al. into, thus finally justifying the term "Wing Rack." Was going to go 16u and add a 4u drawer, but eh. 12u saves money (on the extra drawer, too), which is good, because this hit my budget limit...
Essential, Eternal, Eastman...
All that marble, puts me in cold shock just looking at it. Doom at least has some warmth to it...
Genuinely can't decide whether Trump's new bathroom is better or worse than the infamous Something Awful Doom Bathroom
Arrival. Only one unit, as expected. With this, I go from 24/8 to a full 32/16. All that remains are the flight case itself, patch cables, and necessary flight case mods.

Bonus: Realization that I'll need some SDHC cards, since the Wing came with the Live card ^,^
This is... Odd. I only ordered one, and yet this appears, both in the app and on the website. But it only shows up on this particular summary page - the order page itself shows just the one I actually ordered. Maybe AWS hasn't fully recovered...
Right now, my entire day revolves around awaiting the arrival of the UPS person with my stage box. Since delivery people often have a problem wrapping their heads around the concept of "There are more apartments around the back," I have to be ultra-vigilant, lest it end up at the neighbors'...
Don't know about you, but if I ever got a letter from a "concerned Christian neighbor" about Halloween decorations, there'd only be one thing for it: Call the local Queer community and have them create the most flamboyantly gay Halloween display ever.
Just got a long, anonymous letter from "A Concerned Christian Neighbour" in regard to our Halloween decorations -- a cardboard Jack Skellington, a few plastic pumpkins, and some wonky-ass cardboard bats with googly eyes my kids cut out
I think I may have successfully acquired an elusive Midas DN4888. If this holds true, then I can finally move forward with the new rack. This, with a single balanced xlr cable, takes me from 24/8 to 32/16, with tons more room for expansion with stage boxes. Two of which I already own!
Fuck it, might as well kick things off now. BessieFest 2026 is a go - August 23rd, 2026, Doors @ 1pm, Music @ 2pm, and NO LATE FINISH this time. Nor will Green Jello be the headliner. Already reached out about some popular returns, a more mellow main stage, and just maybe... Something huge...
"Can you give me a little more?" is musician for "I need to buy in-ear monitors, but I am reluctant to for some petty reason."
Not me seeing this immediately after finishing my last bite of the peanut butter fudge I got at Buc-ee's on Thursday...
Not me eating a whole brick of fudge or anything 👀
Whenever Bethesda makes an announcement, and that announcement doesn't line up with your expectations, that's not Bethesda's fault: That's fully on you. You got yourself worked up for something you knew damn well had a very slim chance of even being mentioned.
I'm a sound tech, not a DJ.

If I play one person's request, then I fall into a "but you did it for them" trap. I'm not paid to take requests. It's a Spotify playlist, just live with it until the band starts.
Tampa, FL: Not Burning.

Granted, Frederick has always been and still very much is a shitty town, but it's not burning, and I didn't feel unsafe in ANY of these cities. In fact, I'll be returning to all of them.

Point: What you're being fed by conservative media is lies.

Record update: Turns out I wasn't done. I picked up a copy of 96 Bitter Beings' "Synergy Restored" while on tour with them. They're a fun bunch, can't wait to catch up with them again when they come back through Cleveland. As for the SAY-10 bundle, it'll have to wait just a bit longer...
I take that last bit back: If tour pans out OK, I might just fill in my SAY-10 reissue gap and get the variants of Triple Live...
I recently met a few brand new "sound techs" who's understanding of gain structure would be perfect for this show.

Right before they overdo it and somehow introduce a feedback loop into an effectively closed system.
starting a podcast where I'm 14 inches too far away from the microphone at all times. I call it Did You Catch That?
A cursory glance at BlueSky is all it takes to come to the world's most obvious conclusion - that gamers have become far, far too entitled.

Seriously: get over yourselves. Devs aren't going to bow to your wishes, and no amount of time playing games makes you an "expert" or even an influencer.
They're always going to get me. They're mostly going to listen to me. Why? Because I'm one of them. I speak the language. Andy most importantly of all, I have the experience.

You don't get that experience after a little over a year.

You aren't in a position to make those decisions.
