McDonalds had free coffee refills for seniors for a really long time, not sure if they still do (they got rid of the 1 free refill for everyone else a long time ago), would have been the place to be

probably for convenience, wouldn't shock me if beast pulls the starbucks ceo and flies in 3 times a week rather than stay anywhere near his own content creation

Only certain Samsung appliances launched in 2024 will get the Bixby upgrade, though. That includes the Bespoke 4-Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, and the AI WindFree Gallery Freestanding Air Conditioner.

Dammit now I gotta toss my 2023 Samsung touchscreen fridge because it's suddenly worthless

I bought Haze for PS3 the day it came out even after reading a lot of mid to negative reviews, both because I really love all three TimeSplitters games and wanted to support the devs, and also out of a feeling of 'how bad could it really be?'. It was incredibly boring, graphically underwhelming, and I ended up beating it the same day I bought it. Tried to trade it in and even on release week EB offered me an incredibly insulting amount, like $7 or something, and I still took it.

myself and everyone I knew were massive fans of the N64 WCW and WWF games, but I had played the PS2 Yukes! games at friends houses and always kinda hated them. Ended up getting Wrestlemania X8 because I somehow got to actually go to the event at Skydome, and even with that huge bias still thought the game was shit and barely ever played it.

Wrestlemania was fucking wild though, it fell on the same day as St. Patricks and everyone there was drunk as shit, tons of fan scuffles and rowdiness, as a high schooler was a total blast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF6QaE69Dus Rerez did a video about it that just about covers everything there is to the game, I found it amusing

This would result in you being sent to the brig: Log in to your account, and for a week, all you get is a view from inside a prison cell, no game menus or options at all, rofl.

shooting at dead bodies also put you in jail but I think it was only for 15 or 30 minutes or something certainly not a full week

I read a story on CBC the other day that was all about how an AI voice was taking over from hosts on off-hours at some local radio station, then deeper in the article it revealed that everything the "AI" reads was written by a human. So it was about someone using text-to-speech technology that has been around since at least the 70s the whole time. Hardly newsworthy in any way except for "IT'S AI!"

I remember catching her show back in the day and every time being disgusted by the way she'd exploit people's emotions for a bumper... like clockwork she'd say something manipulative then have a camera zoom in on the guest bawling followed by Oprah's "AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK"!

Then cue the trained seal audience applause (but tbf I've been in produced audiences since and always played along)

I deleted/reset my YouTube account awhile ago and his podcast was default autoplay content along with Lex Friedman, JRE, Petersen, Aussie tabloid news channels, the rest of the grifterverse until I told it to fuck off.
