Prince was great. I'm glad they got somebody good for this year's show. I remember they had Aerosmith a couple of years ago but they screwed that up with having Britney Spheres and N'Suck perform with them.

I loved that aerosmith 1/2 time show

The Game:

Okay, I fully admit I watched this years game not caring about who won at all, but I must say I am now a huge fan that all Super Bowls should be played in inclement weather conditions!! Again not caring at all who won, but truly all of the turnovers just made it a so much more exciting to watch overall than they usually are.

Other than the weather making it more fun to watch, the outcome was more or less what I thought it would be.

The Commercials

I admit I did not pay attention the entire time and I did not get to see every single commercial since this year I had a few people at my place for the first time in a very long time, and I was more occupied with playing host all night (cleaning up, getting food and snacks, etc.) that anything else. However out of the commercials I did see, which I say is at least 70% of them, I can honestly say I do not remember a single one. FTR before someone jumps to conclusions, I was (and still am) completely sober all night. So the fact I cannot recall a single good commercial says to me from what I did see, I must have thought any of them were that good at all. Definitely disappointed at the commercials.

The Half Time Show

I am older than a good amount of people here, and I can say I pretty much grew up with Prince, and I never understood what the big fuss was, and this is even factoring in the fact that the older I got over the years, the more I appreciated him, he does have some great songs. However, all I can say is I really think he takes himself way, way to serious. As strange as it may sound, I have never even see they guy smile while on stage, he just always looks like a "Rock Star," always posing and such, and I just cannot stand him because of what comes off to be a "better than everyone else" attitude.

Also, I just thought it was so out of place to be playing the Foo Fighters like he did. I mean I understand the quick Hendrix he threw in there, but to play a relatively speaking new song by someone like the Foo Fighters, when he has so many songs of his own he could have played, just seemed so damn cheesy and forced.

Overall, this year the game itself was by far the most enjoyable aspect of it all, when it is usually a combination of the game and commercials, at least for myself.

The commercials were horrible, the only ones that gave me a slight chuckle were the Career Builder ones and the actual game was alright but nothing special.

I've decided to go into hibernation, much like the Bears offense was the entire game. By the way, did anyone else think the opening ceremony was really ****ing goofy?

Ya I didn't know what the hell the opening ceremony/show was all about, it felt like i was in some dream with hispanic people dancing with random colored things everywhere. Or was that what it actually was? :p

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.
