This is a link post Centuries of Sound - 1933 I made this!


Hello, here I am again with a 3-hour audio collage of music, movie clips and other stuff, this time all from 1933. I've also written a blog thing about how nostalgia is bad, just to shoot myself in the foot with getting a job at most of the UK's radio networks.

Please share with anyone you think might be into this stuff, this is hilariously my sole source of income right now.

Also, loads of Groucho Marx in this one. It was unavoidable.

This is a normal post I bought it for my sister and I’ve played a bit
I left with two impressions:
The A and B buttons are the wrong fucking way round.
Inventory juggling and breakable weapons do not belong in a Zelda game.

I bought her a proper controller at the same time; I can only imagine what a pain in the arse playing with those tiny little things would be. The whole experience was basically just unnecessarily fiddly to be honest.

3/10 - Just fire up Dolphin and play Wind Waker in 4K instead.

This is a normal post Just started playing it in the last week
(bought a second-hand Wii U a couple of years ago specifically to play it, but only just got around to hacking it...).

Not far enough into it to have a strong opinion, although it definitely feels like a game from the team behind Xenoblade Chronicles (a game I disliked when I first played it, but warmed to when I restarted it a couple of years later).

This is a normal post is there ever any point where you take a step back and see what a sad little petty individual you are, prufrock
feebly trying to score some sort of one-upmanship nobody else can see. no flashes of self-awareness at how pathetic and tedious your behaviour is?
I mean the analogy was about his behaviour, rather than a comparison of activities, that somebody who storms off just because he loses would be a poor person to play monopoly against, but this is kind of besides the point. Would it fill you with feeling of triumphalism if you were to actually catch me out making some grammatical error of this kind? Aren't these impulses quite immature for a grown man to feel and act out? How old are you? Is this the level of development you've reached after all those years? Food for thought, ay?

This is a normal post ah brb
how unexpected! But you're always welcome in these threads and your participation in no way reflects a similar childish long running desire to seek revenge for past humiliations that your immature ego is incapable of shaking.

While you're here, you never did explain what you meant hypothesising the other day in relation to the streaker getting arrested video that "I'd be fine as long as I didn't say I was English these days"(b3ta.com/links/1561381). even as a joke exaggeration it only really works if you share the sentiment. Do you genuinely feel like non-english migrants get an easier run in Britain? Or was it all some sort of post-ironic meta humour where you temporarily adopt the persona who sympathises with BNP-like views? I mean, I've not seen you try on this style of humour before, normally you have this aspergers-like literalism, so well done if that's what you were attempting. Maybe make it less convincing next time or else people might confuse you with a genuine racist

An odd insult followed by an even lamer follow-up stripped of any wit where it become clear to even people who don't follow your 3 year long obsession with me that it's about your hate. Does simply my responding validate you in some way? That's kind of pathetic too, if you were to self reflect, a 55 year old man. Is it that you have difficulty in emotional regulation? do you have issues in maintaining relationships in your personal life too? I suspect so.

This is a normal post sorry, I forget all the young kids are into the Rolling Stones
their set at Coachella the other year was just packed with millennials. it's one of the things my daughter is always getting asked at parties, "stones or the beatles?". Those music video channels have them on high rotation, it's their new releases that are the most popular
You'll have to accept my apologies, Prufrock. All along you were just your typical Stones-loving teen, captive to their puberty driven emotions and obsessions, and experimenting with the imagined licence internet anonymity gives you and struggling to deal with any loss of face and feelings of inadequacy by becoming a troll. I would never have responded in this way if I'd known.
The good news is that all but a few grow out of this phase as you get older. But don't be in a hurry to grow up, adulthood will come in its own time

This is a normal post mental ay? yes, that's how upset teens respond, at least, that's the kind of thing children said in the 1970s before they grew up and their vocabulary became more sophisticated. my kids and their friends don't use these terms.
You'll be calling me gay, next. But your maturity aside, the question remains, if you find it boring and I find it tedious, what drives you to keep doing it? Hasn't every attempt, including this one, blown up in your face leaving you looking more humiliated? If you find our interactions long-winded why have you spent years obsessed with these painful attempts to try and find some fault with my comments or score some petty grammar point. Is it impulse control? Aside from my response to your insults, my interaction with b3ta is fairly innocuous. Sharing links, creating pics, making jokes, digging and commenting on other b3tans work. You could simply ignore me, but you don't. Is it just that you're incapable of learning, of moving on, of self-awareness of your own behaviour? I'm just curious, I don't care that much. I find it a little amusing on a small messageboard like B3ta I seem to have collected one, possibly two man-child trolls obsessed with me

Out of curiosity and being a geo I looked up studies on that section of coast, and there has been a good volumetric study since 2001. the average recessional rate for the cliffs there is 27 cm per year. given that your average landslip is around 2m, enough to involve the tent, you're looking at this catastrophic event every 8 years or so. So about 1/2840 chance of it happening on any one particular night. Which is half the fatality risk of the legal sport of parachuting, though to be fair I'm pretty sure they don't let you take your five year old with you on a jump. One should also note that in the study, in landslip slope failure, the majority are rotational, with the berm or cliff edge dropping several meters while the bottom spreads out, with toppling being much rarer. It would scare the shit out of you, but might not be fatal.
