More of my HBO Max queue. I absolutely hate that they make me choose my profile every single time. I have one profile, it's a purple cock-ring that says "Mark" in it, there is zero reason to make me choose a profile every new window! Netflix now lets you choose movie characters for your profile … Continue reading "What I'm Watching: Godzilla Raids Again, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, The Player"Read More »

Hey, Beastmaster's On (seriously it was on a lot in the afternoons) Hobotime (when you couldn't decide between HBO or Showtime) Skinemax (ah, scrambled cable porn; to this day, static makes me horny (no not really (well, kinda))) I was ignoring the HBO "Max" launch, but Rolling Stone ran basically an ad/listicle of great movies … Continue reading "What I'm Watching: HoboMax"Read More »

Firefox is extremely annoying using Hubs in fullscreen. Open a tab, type about:config as location, and set: full-screen-api.warning.timeout: 0 pointer-lock-api.warning.timeout: 0 This time I did the tutorial for Spoke—which you should absolutely sit thru, and try out as you go—and then made a scene based on the Material Test. Well, first I tried to edit … Continue reading "Spokes and Hubs"Read More »

Mozilla Hubs is a VR/3D chat room, sort of like IMVU, Second Life, etc, except semi-private instances. That should be quite interesting. It doesn't need a client, it uses the browser, so I opened it in Firefox, assuming they're favoring their own.
