I like to think that this conversation takes place over 4 different days, with absolutely no warning before Dad’s comments.

Why did you have to remind me?

Since tape trading, for me. Don’t invent the means to copy the media if you don’t want the media copied.

Can confirm. I was an avid 90s Star Trek convention attendee, and got to hear a couple quick Bab5 anecdotes from him years ago.

Walter Koenig was a great Chekov, but his role as Bester the PsyCop from Babylon 5 was a more nuanced role that gave him way more to do.

I refuse to watch anything with Tucker Carlson’s big dumb head on it.

The Teenage Engineering vinyl cutter goes for something like $150 for a little portable home machine that makes 5" discs.

I mean you, rulu, are a dumbass. This is an unfunny meme and you should feel bad for wasting the internet’s time with it.

Do better, for all our sakes.

Attached to a dumbass.

Forgiveness for my pedantry, but pretty sure a greeble (or greeblie) is the individual plastic details that they would glue on to create the texture, not the texture itself.

You wouldn’t say a texture is “greeble”.

Edit - and if you’re talking 3d modeling, greebling is done during sculpting, it’s not a texturing step.

I don’t remember seeing pirated stuff before Dreamcast / PS1, although to be fair, I was at a lot of PC conventions back then grabbing freeware disks and stuff, so I probably saw a lot of pirated stuff without knowing what I was looking at, just by virtue of being too young to be into the pirating / modding community.
