Prop is hands down the worst guest and he murders every episode he’s on.

Long story short: the new podcast Rock Bottom with Ned Fulmer, in which the disgraced former Try Guy is returning to content production with a podcast interviewing people who had similar controversies, is actually the RSS feed of Baby Steps, a show he did with the wife he cheated on in 2020. He wiped the episodes and replaced all the branding he could to launch this new podcast with the existing subscribers and positive reviews Baby Steps had.

Which raises a question: what are some other notable examples of a feed getting fully wiped and relaunched? I’ve seen a few over the years, most notably journalists leaving big producers without the IP to their podcast and that feed getting re-branded, but this is a rare example of an internet-famous person doing it in such a way it’s obvious and impossible to cover up.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I am looking for podcasts that do more than just describe famous artworks. I want episodes that dive into the deeper cultural, historical, or symbolic meanings of pieces like the Mona Lisa or Guernica. What is the controversy, mystery, or social impact behind these masterpieces?

Please suggest shows that are engaging and well researched but still easy to follow for someone who is not an art expert. I love learning about the secrets and stories that make art timeless. What are your favorite art podcasts?

I work in cyber security and I loved the scam episode and the Snapchat episode, as well as some of the less IT based episodes that were still fun adventures/mysteries. Is there anything similar? I’ve listened dark net diaries and its quite good as well, but I don’t think it fully scratches that itch. Is there anything that you would recommend which is similar or you feel is just as good, even if it is a bit different?

I must be in a bit of a reading slump lately. I looked over the books I’ve read over the past couple months and noticed that I didn’t rate any of them higher than ³⁄₅ on Goodreads. For me that means they were…fine, at least somewhat entertaining, but not great.

What’s the last book you read that you’d give a ⁵⁄₅? Something that really sucked you in, that you couldn’t put down, and when you were doing anything else, you just couldn’t wait to get back to reading. Maybe you read it a while ago and you still can’t stop thinking about it.

I’m open to any genre, though I’m not generally a romance fan (will still welcome recs, though). Bonus points for horror.

I’ve read a lot of criticisms about male authors being absolutely hopeless when it comes to writing authentic female characters. Full of cliches like “heaving bosoms” and “sensuous lips” or characters making choices that no sensible woman in the real world would ever make.

If anyone can recommend books that are the antidote to that, I’d like to read them.

Any genre. Literary fiction is fine. Genre fiction. Romances. I read a lot of crime fiction so that would be a perfect.

But anything where a female reader has been so impressed that a male author has gotten inside the mind of a young female protagonist(s) so well.

Thank you

EDIT - A few Redditors questioning my motives behind this question. I recently read a phenomenal book “THE WOMAN WHO WALKED INTO DOORS” by Roddy Doyle. I’ve given it to female friends who’ve said the writing of a cross-gender first person narrative was astonishingly accurate, they seemingly couldn’t believe a man had written it. I was just wondering if any …

Intentionally clickbaity with the title but what I mean is this: I don’t even mind a protagonist who isn’t anti US military. I just don’t want them to be completely wide eyed and have this power fetish (as opposed to being interested in solving a problem and learning as much as possible about issues and other people).

What I enjoy about these books:

I LOVE being able to explore the vast machinery of these institutions. The people, the bureaucracy, the countless departments and agencies and institutions. I love to learn about the specific processes, methods and strategies different social units within these institutions use, and how they think of everyone else in the machinery. Pretty much love competence porn too.

If they absolutely have to have the Islamic terrorist antagonist, I’d like for it to really explore that ideology, give context for how it came to be and explain how other Muslims feel about their interpretations of Islam.

What I have zero tolerance for: male protagonists …

I don’t mean Girl on the Train type of unreliable. I want the kind of unreliable narrator whom you realise is actually evil/terrifying. Bonus points if you didn’t see it coming.

I need any good book recommendations :)

There are a million funny tv shows and movies, but most comedy books don’t actually get a laugh. Why is this? What am I missing?

A few notes: - I’m specifically looking for novels. There are plenty of memoirs with some humor, but I can’t find many written works of fiction.

• My favorite book of all time is “A Confederacy of Dunces.” It had my laughing cover to cover. Is this book unique or are there others that are equally funny?

• Thank you for indulging me.

Looking for modern or popular games that have a built-in Easy Mode (i.e. not mods) that doesn’t judge/punish you for it (e.g. lock “the good ending” or other content behind the difficulty or prevent you from getting achievements).

Any genre really, but recent ones I’ve just enjoyed coasting on easy after a frustrating week at work:

Metaphor: Refantazio
Cult of the Lamb
Forza Horizon 5

To quote Shadow Warrior 2: “This difficulty level is for people that feel like they don’t need to prove anything to themselves or anyone else. Shadow Warrior 2 on easy is perfectly fine, if by the end of an exhausting day all you need to do is feel like a goddamn superhero.”

What’s this game for you?

What the title says. Suggestions about games that look cute and wholesome when you start it, but then gradually reveals the world of the game to be not as rosy as it appeared, in fact it is shown to be more and more messed up as you progress through the game. Thanks for any inputs :)

Edit: My question actually came from playing Beacon Pines. I thought “That looks really cute, but what if it became a horror game with characters doing truly despicable things for fucked up reasons midway through the game?”

In most action games you play as a character that relies on their speed and damage dealing potential to win. Dodging and parrying are key and you are advised to avoid getting hit.

Are there any games out there where you play as a slow moving character who hits hard ?

The ones I’ve played:

Arena Breakout Infinite - one of the most accessible, like EFT but more convenient
Escape From Tarkov - one of the hardest, like ABI but clunky and inconvenient
Hunt: Showdown - really interesting setting, great sound design, but recent updates seem to be pushing the game in a direction that’s less appealing to me
Active Matter - my current favorite. Has a cool setting and features modern weapons (in Hunt, I really struggle with the slow, archaic feel of the shooting). Basically, it’s challenging enough while also offering QoL improvements.

If you know of any other extraction shooters (or games with a similar gameplay loop), please recommend them. Preferably not sci-fi, but something grounded in a more or less realistic setting.

Games where you can become so powerful that only limit is your computer and possibility of it crashing.

I used to get into a flow state with Titan Fall 2 all the time, then recently re-discovered it with Silk Song and Akane of all games. It made me realize how much I miss just instinctively playing a game.

What games have yall been able to get into a flow sate with?

Edit: I can’t believe I forgot to mention Armored Core 6, Neon White and Ultrakill. Possibly the best “flow state” games of all time.

These make it speak when you plug it in or deplug it (voice is editable but Zarvox really spoke to me (badum pshh))

Is this possible?

1) videotape yourself screaming this

2) make sure my instructions don’t trick you into posting it on social media

3) run the first shortcut to convert it to an audio file

4) take the audio file and apply it path to the second shortcut

5) make an automation using the second shortcut, which will automatically play the clip at 5% because I give up on making it work for 1%

If you look at the attached screenshot, using the on device model was able to deliver a surprising amount of information about a song. Does using the on device model just mean that it is using the device rather than a cloud AI server or ChatGPT to process data it’s getting from the internet? I assume it doesn’t mean that it’s only using on-device data; just that the processing of data it gets from whatever source is happening on-device.

Previous post about the shortcut here

Just finished updating the AMD shortcut. Shortcut is now faster, stable, handles errors gracefully. Fixed download errors for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Holy crapballs, I know it is very fashionable to hate on Apple, but flipping hell iOS26 is helluva unstable. Especially on Shortcuts, where it feels like, they took a few .. er … shortcuts.

I was trying last night to add variable to Apple Intelligence action and either the action and the entire app freezes up, or it won’t see the variable. Mostly it feels like resizing a picture in MS Word. You need precise finger control to not make the whole thing fall over.

Apart from that it is gorgeous and I for one am super stoked with the possiblities with on-device intelligence etc. Just dont like the idea that I’m running an OS that feels like more like a beta than the real deal.
