Retro Game Play Throughs

Which retro NES or SNES games do you wish Danny and Arin would play? Or retro games they tried but didn’t do a full, proper play through?

My picks are Blaster Master, Super Mario 2 (no warps), TMNT 2, and Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

Tall, thin young men’s lungs can spontaneously collapse.

It happened to my son. Fully healthy then - boom - trip to the ER and an overnight stay.

ChatGPT as a fact checker? I hate this.

This ad is everywhere now. But to specifically call it a fact checker is just… wow…

ChatGPT can be useful but wow, it is not 100%. And older people are already prone to believing anything AI says.

Other than Sonic Boom and Limbo of the Lost, what are other games the boys played that just… didn’t seem done

I feel broken games are some of the best GG series to watch.

AI Libel - zero consequences for the company, reputational damage to me.

In December I did a search on myself to see what would come up. By searching my name and state, the search engine revealed correct info. But the AI overview claimed I had a federal trial for felony assault!

I’ve never been arrested or charged with anything. By checking what the AI cited (something I think people rarely do), I discovered someone in my state with my last name but a very different first name had been involved in such activities. I scoured the page and my first name isn’t even on it!

The dumb AI can’t tell the difference between my name and this other person’s name. This was not a one-off. This is what I have found around a hundred times, searching on different devices whenever doing an AI mode search - correct info coupled with false info. Mostly about the assault, sometimes about drug charges.

I had the Secretary of State office contact the company. The company said I needed to use their AI feedback options to report the problem - something I had already done DOZENS of times!

The SOS office again reached out to the company but I received the same response - that it was on ME to get this corrected. It’s been EIGHT MONTHS!

This feels like libel. The search company is presenting and publishing to the world false info. ANYONE who looks me up and my state via the AI mode search (friends, family, potential employers) sees this BS.

I already contacted my reps - nothing being done. I can’t sue, either. The company is massive, I don’t have the money, and I can’t prove damages.

I strongly recommend everyone reading this to check yourself on AI searches. Who knows what you may find. I feel so powerless. And so many people blindly believe what AI claims.

The IRS said I needed to verify my ID. I receive the letter, call them, they said my case was closed on 7/7 for “not responding in a timely fashion”… They asked me to call them on 7/14!!

I know the IRS has lost a ton of staff. That would explain why it took over a week to reach anyone. But they closed out my case ONE WEEK BEFORE mailing me a request to call them! I guess I should’ve built a time machine.

Today’s Ep! If you listen closely…

If you listen closely, you may hear Jack and Miles speak. And a couple of news stories.
I love Gil & Anthony but man they overpowered this.

Survivor Action Figures/Toys

I’m not saying there’s a market for them but if CBS were to make Survivor action figures, other than Jeff, who would HAVE to be made?

Obvious choices are Boston Rob, Parvati, Sandra and Tony but who else? Plenty of options…

Blood red

It’s nearly impossible for me to get a great picture but it looks like a ball of blood in a sky of smoke. Someone else able to take a better picture?

Least consequential player ever

Hey all! Who do you think is the least consequential player to make it at least to the merge?

I’m leaning Julia in 26 or Joe in 32. What do you think?
