The future called . . . said you are going to LOVE . . .

Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast!

[manymanyhaha]

Recycled plastic guitars . . . can't wait, want em now

Why the fuck are y'all talking about phones and wires and shit? Just use the 5G nanorobots in your vaccines to send direct auditory impulses to an audience. Duh.

[Blackened Soul]

Because those bill gates approved nanobotz keep telling me to buy Hawaiian shirts, play boomer blooz and buy tubescreamers!

Next thing I know they’ll start telling me I need a fucking jazzbass with roundwounds or some crap.. shit sucks.

You've seen the schem.

They are metalzones. Billions of tiny metalzones in your blööd!

The future is when everything is gone. So it will just be acoustic guitars or the occasional battery powered amp

^ This guy gets it. All my fuzz pedals and electric guitars will be worthless in the wasteland. But I'll probably be dead so it'll be ok

[goroth]

But honestly, the future is here. Neural DSP is fucking insanely good. Which is only reasonable considering how machine learning has developed. By definition pedals and shit are not the future. And I think that's their charm. That's why none of us are rocking digital rigs with neural dsp.

[manymanyhaha]

Well, this got depressing. I was trying to optimistically look forward to continuing my unabated consumerist ways with a potentially positive development and psssssssss, y'all cold watered onto that shit.

To paraphrase Bill Murray in Stripes, where did we store the sharp knives?

That is one of my favourite films ever. The first half is some of the most side splitting satire I’ve seen. And the second half is... well I’m assuming the military adjusted the script somewhat as a condition for lending them some tanks.

Me too, must have watched dozens of times when I was a kid, knew that pep-talk monologue backwards and forwards ("Who cried when Old Yeller got shot? NOBODY cried when Old Yeller got shot?!").

That one and Trading Places. Re-watched both recently after not having seen either for a really long time (girlfriend is British, they apparently didn't make it overseas, so wanted to see what she thought). Of the two, I think Trading Places has held up much better. Just as social commentary, it is just as relevant today as it was back then. I don't think I realized, as a kid, how much of a biting social commentary it was. Plus, Bo Diddley.
