I think that “it’s supposed to be shit” can be good when it comes from an artist that has the ability to do it well. No idea if this is the case for Raygun, but it’d be interesting to me if she had proven her chops elsewhere then decided to put on a horrible act.

Well I would bet that this news article boosted her OF account, so really it’s all working out for her.

There’s never been a better time to switch to Firefox, just saying.

Anyone calling out his mental decline in 2020 was accused of being a Russian bot and that whole discourse was silenced outside of places like this.

I was just at an aquarium yesterday admiring this tomato-y boy, are you in my head?

I’ve complete this transition and it’s wonderful. Steep up front costs, but as long as I do t love them I can replace them forever. Sending some worn ones back and getting new socks in the mail for free is awesome.

Oh cool, I was just thinking back my brief time playing organized rugby and couldn't think of a way to remove the tackling. The ability to toss the ball mid-tackle felt integral, but makes sense that people figured it out.

Thanks to this thread I'm now going through common sports and seeing what the trade off is between minimal equipment and typical rules.

Hockey's minimal version is "shinny", where you still need a puck, skates and a stick, as well as a usable ice surface which is realistically hard to come by even in cold weather areas with lakes/rivers due to the way ice freezes inconsistently. F tier.

American Football's minimal version would be two-hand touch, which is still fun and can be played with just a ball. B tier.

Rugby is similar to American Football, only the touch version doesn't really work, but hits aren't as hard so you can get away without gear. A tier.

Baseball needs a ball, bat and glove. I guess you could play some positions without a glove, but it would detract from the game. C tier.

All racquet sports need a net, ball/device, and racquet. C tier

Volleyball has some drills/games that can be done without a net, but to really "play" you need the net + ball. C tier.

Basketball needs a ball and hoop. Fairly easy to find in a city, but still a costly piece of infrastructure. F tier.

Soccer is the only S tier I can think of because you really just need a ball to get 90% of the fun from the sport (full nets give you free reign for goal height).

The slope is slippery and expensive. It all started when someone bought me this new fangled thing called an "Aeropress"...

We’ve picked this one up from the library a couple times, definitely a hit.
