Welp I don't mean ta say I'm gettin' old, but...

Jest watched an ad fer Dancin' with the Stars and just as a feller lifted the girl up an' she arched, showin' an...impressive...silhouette >_>
I swear the narrator said "Who has the best boobs"

Dearheart said it was "moves" :-P

Hmph! Spoilsport.

Can you guess the subject?
*sigh*

If only the Foxes came in purple :-(
Did you scroll down to the F You dice?

What better natural 1 is there =)

Crap

I got into a pretty damn cool kickstarter for a newtonion space sim a long time ago

Been watching the relentless updates for years, but it's been hidden in the Skunkworks...

Literally "In The Black"

While still not available, it just dropped a demo on Steam

Tangential: I've jest... solidified a feeling growing the past few years

I am incredibly fond of and loyal to

Kickstarter
Humble Bundle
and
Epic gaming platform

for indulging my sometimes manic accumulation of quality games

To the point I don't even mind their ads on YT ;-)

OMFG

The next refresh after posting the above I started getting suggestions related to writing heroes

Big Data is terrifying

Also, fuck you
Write your own damn books
Stay outta mine

That's not gonna change

A hero without flaws isn't human)

Caffeine is my last remaining (non-videogame) addiction
I'm down to a single cup a day, drinking sparkling water instead

My last ambition: zero chemical dependence by New Years

Any of y'all every idly check Google Maps and discover something only a few blocks away that looks cool?

I can think of a few of my friends that would dig a casual afternoon here

(Full disclosure: Last time I ran a model railroad was, oh, 4 decades ago >_>)
Oh, and in case some one points this out...

Ok

YT's new thing to "piss me off because thug-ads weren't enough" is playing half of the ads in another language; mostly, but not always, Spanish

A couple times Chinese and (Tagalog?)

This just started last night :-P

Can I get a mother-luvin peer-review here?

Zero-content fear mongering!

Things that make you go "Hmmm..."

Am I the only one that's noticed Fry's animated supermarket ads - all of them - have been replaced with live action actors performing the exact same scenes?

Both versions are cute, but...

It feels like there's a story there, else why not *new* ads instead?
To be clear, although I am complimenting the actress, I am also appreciating the ad in total

In 6 seconds the ad shows a woman delighted with the world she sees through her new glasses

The ad is targeted & subtle, non-annoying & engaging

Honestly consider this ad a piece of commercial art
For once, I'm *not* complaining about a YT ad

I find this 6-sec actress simply beautiful

She has no lines, simply looks up with a smile

I find myself hoping she is "discovered" and has a Cinderella career

Goodonya, Nationwide Vision
Personal polarized opinion: Google pushing their AI on YouTube...

...Who is using AI to push all the wrong, mood-shattering ads in the middle of my lovely, emotional music vids...

...is akin to a doctor showcasing all the many malpractice suits they've won on technicalities

Uh-huh

Pull the other leg, YouTube
I mean...

I'ma old codger and seen a bit, but...

1) Is a YouTube *human* actually approving these ads?
2) Is a Yarn store actually aware of the ad's images?
3) Is there anyone actually ignorant enough to trust that "sponsored" link?
My love is home again

Having bested the voracious beast Cancer a few years ago, we now gird our loins to contest the second great dread of our era, Alzheimer's

Given our long sunny afternoon, I shall try to limit my complaints of the overcast, drizzly sunset

I need coffee :-/
