These were so fun! I barely understood them as a kid but still had a blast scanning stuff for monsters and items

House of leaves for me too 😅 got 80% and loved it, then got busy again… now I’m intimidated to pick it back up

Those are changes in parent company names though while the services Facebook and Google still exist. The rebrand of Twitter to X continuing to not stick for people is a much bigger failure on their part than Meta and Alphabet not entering the general zeitgeist.

I will also pay the toy addict dog tax

Been pronouncing the L up to now?

Yeah, if anything, comparing this conservative line of thinking to previously established DEI policies grants it way more validity than it deserves. It’s hard to find the best ways to point out but not normalize their blatant hypocrisy.

I guess I’m glad somebody on the left is finally reciprocating the populist style memeing necessary to contend with trump and current far right politics. “Fighting fire with fire” would feel a lot better though if our flamethrower supported trans rights, among other things.

Trump won twice not just by being a memelord but by leaning fully into the populism necessary for his base. You can’t achieve a ‘left’ version of that by just meeting him at the meme level. The contending policies have to be so popular that they’re obvious.

Yeah gotta be this. Decaying arthropod smell is pretty gnarly

A lot harder to buy that at the store unfortunately.

It depends if it’s a voltage that’s triggering the speaker via a circuit on that IC, or if it ends up powering the speaker directly, and I’d bet the former. Putting a resistor in series with one of the speaker leads is more likely to achieve what you’re hoping for (without knowing more about the circuit).

Do voices and the buzzer sound come out of the same speaker shown in the picture, or is there a separate little “buzzer” speaker in there?

Some sick Pacific Northwest metal/hardcore to checkout:

• lilith.
• Kaizo
• heiress
• Cult Sickness
• Flesh Produce

There’s SO MUCH good modern hardcore music here right now that I’m barely scratching the surface, but hopefully at least one of these does something for you!
