@WeebyRevy That's easy to explain. GD-ROM drive on my old trusty dreamcast died. A working one (presumably) costs much more than ODE board.

Am I the only one who hates console mods that remove the disc drive? I see these for both the PS1 and Dreamcast a lot. Like... Why would you remove the ability to ever actually buy and play games in their native format on the original hardware? Surely there's other ways to play your collection of ISOs on the hardware...

Bryan Cranston was in his high school's chemistry club. He studied to become a cop. He spent 20 years as an actor nobody recognized. Then he became the most awarded dramatic lead in TV history, and the man who played Hannibal Lecter wrote him a midnight email calling it the best acting he had ever seen. That chemistry club thing is real. TMZ found his 1973 yearbook photo from Canoga Park High in Los Angeles. After graduating, he got a degree in police science at a community college. Becoming a cop was the actual plan. He took an acting class at 19 because he needed an elective, fell in love with it, and changed his entire life. For the next two decades, he worked jobs most people would quit over. Soap operas. Hemorrhoid cream commercials. (Also real. There's video.) He played a dentist on Seinfeld a few times. Nobody outside of casting offices knew who he was. Malcolm in the Middle showed up when he was 43 and made him the goofy TV dad. That was supposed to be his ceiling. Vince Gilligan, the guy who created Breaking Bad, saw it differently. He'd written an episode of The X-Files ten years earlier where Cranston played a dying man who was hateful and sympathetic at the same time. Gilligan told AMC's studio executives that Cranston was the only actor he'd ever worked with who could make you hate someone and feel sorry for them in the same breath. They pushed back. They only saw the sitcom dad. Gilligan showed them the X-Files tape. They gave in. What Cranston did next is where this gets interesting to me. He didn't just learn his lines. He followed around the head of USC's chemistry department for weeks, watching how an actual chemist picks up a beaker, measures ingredients, moves through a lab. He caught a mistake in one of the early scripts where a piece of lab equipment was being used for the wrong thing, and called Gilligan to fix it. The show also brought in real DEA chemists as on-set consultants who walked the cast through the entire meth-making process step by step. Cranston wanted his hands to move like a man who'd done this for 30 years. He designed Walter White's entire look from the ground up. He asked for what he called an "impotent mustache," one so thin and pathetic it would make people think, why even bother having that on your face. All his clothes were taupe and sand, colors that vanish in a room. He put a brown rinse in his hair to kill any natural reddish color. He modeled Walter's slouched, beaten-down posture on his own father, a man who walked around like the weight of the world was sitting on his back. And when the story called for Walter to lose his hair, the show offered Cranston a bald cap. He turned it down and shaved his head for real. He also refused to read ahead in the scripts. He'd only look at about five days of material at a time. His reasoning was that he wanted Walter's slow slide into darkness to hit him the same way it would hit the audience, one small choice at a time, never seeing the cliff until he was already falling off it. He won four Emmys for best lead actor in a drama. Three of those were back to back to back. After the show ended, Anthony Hopkins, the guy who played Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs, binged all 62 episodes in two weeks flat and wrote Cranston an email at midnight from his house in Malibu. He called it the best acting he had ever seen in his life. Hopkins didn't intend for anyone else to read that email. It leaked and went everywhere. The part that sticks with me is that Cranston never went method for any of this. His costar Aaron Paul, who played Jesse, used to wander through rough neighborhoods at night trying to stay in Jesse's headspace. Cranston pulled him aside and told him to develop what Cranston calls "the switch," being able to leave the character at the studio door and go home to your family. Cranston thinks the performance comes from the homework you do before you show up. Not from tormenting yourself while you're off the clock. A chemistry club kid from suburban LA. Studied to be a cop. Spent two decades doing work nobody saw. Won four Emmys because he followed a professor around a lab, corrected a script, shaved his own head, and only let himself read five pages at a time.

Donald Glover did an honest Yoshi impression for 90 minutes meanwhile Chris Pratt can’t even muster up the courage to say “let’s-a-go!” because he’s afraid people will remember he was fat and jolly on Parks and Recreation for 7 years

Just learned about Ken Isaacs' "Superchair" (1967). Built-in book rest, shelves, lamp, drink tray, and a seat back that folds into a bed. A place for "inventive work and the individual search for peace of mind", as he put it. It was meant for people to build it themselves, hence the almost unfinished look. Blueprints were published in Popular Science in 1968.

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

Even the most banal N64 games feel like borderline miracles given the amount of limitations/barriers posed technically and commercially. Games like South Park or Chemical X-Traction are a dime a dozen on PS1, but on N64 they're fascinating by virtue of just existing.
