Game Gumps has been my background noise/sleep noise for a decade now. I started watching them right before Jon left and after rediscovering them a year later and loving Danny, I just started falling asleep with them on.
And now 10 years later they are almost always on my TV if I'm not actively watching something. I've just been watching them for so long that their voices are very comfortable and soothing (even when they're both screaming their asses off lol)
I know Google sucks, but I will give a little credit to the newer Pixels' "Circle to Search" feature. It's nice to pull up an image and just circle search it and see where it came from, or the context behind it, etc etc.
Circle Search and the two you mention are probably the only actually useful things to come out of AI so far.
I still to this day think about the opening quote to this Watsky song , "Nothing matters, so it doesn't matter if nothing matters. And while you be, be true. And if you won't, fuck you. "
Just thinking about that quote during times of stress eases my mind a little bit. Basically just a little more fancy version of "Why so serious? It ain't that deep." Lol
My apartment got flooded recently so I don't have access to my computer for now, so I booted up RetroArch on my phone with a Razer Kishi and started playing Pokemon Unbound, a pretty neat rom-hack.
I'm only at the 3rd gym leader right now though, but I've been passing time in-game by making sure to name every single pokemon I catch.
My best friend used to work at a local fast food chain, and there was one week when we were both on vacation with our other friends. He was a Lead and the manager was also away during this timeframe.
We find out that some employee ended up falling for a phone scam, someone called the restaurant stating that they were the manager and needed money to cover some business costs. So this scammer tells the employee to buy gift cards and read out the numbers on the phone and such.
This dumbass ACTUALLY does this, while using the restaurant funds. He goes to Walmart with cash from the drawers, buys the gift cards worth like 5000 bucks, and gives them all to the scammer on the phone.
It wasn't until after the full transaction completed that the dumbass employee decided to call my friend asking if what he did was okay, and my friend was like "FUCK NO, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT, ARE YOU INSANE?"
And yeah, pretty sure that dude was fired and they just had to deal with being short 5000 dollars.
I've heard it mentioned in several places that some people/groups have been working on full campaign mods if that's what you mean. Obviously it's gonna take awhile to get those 100% ready, but it's definitely in the works.
I feel in a couple of years we'll probably have some quality campaign mods akin to the ones we've seen in Skyrim like Enderal.
