Hope you enjoy, if you dig it the Mandalorian was really good too more of a samurai western kung fu style serial where Andor is more political spy thriller action
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 week ago:
Strawmanning because they won’t or can’t understand your argument, mistaking the map for the place usually because of equivocating on vaguely understood or multiple definitions, non-sequetor this is where someone just yaps for awhile based on the crap that falls out of their head based on the words they heard but didn’t get the point and is barely tracking

Right, kick ass. Well, don’t want to sound like a dick or nothin’, but, ah… it says on your chart that you’re fucked up.
- Comment on What period was the "golden age" of TV in terms of content? 1 week ago:
I think the end would be around when Netflix started taking off, there was TiVo and similar recorded live broadcast/cable TV devices before but it was around then that larger groups of people went from watching scheduled TV to anything on streaming whenever, that change in viewing habits removed a monoculture around scheduled TV going back to black and white TVs & also changed quality dropping projects, development teams with experience, innovations, etc that don’t maximize streaming metrics. The beginning was probably around when they moved from more unscripted reality gameshow and variety shows to scripted drama and sitcoms around the 60s.

- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 weeks ago:
Watched Star wars EP 4 a new hope on Sunday, I usually watch empire or rotj if I feel like some star wars, it was nice going back to the beginning. 8/10 because I can only get the remake version, followed up with Spaceballs
Rewatched groundhog dog, classic rom com I expect willhold up for a very long time
Street trash, remake of an old Troma movie, low budget gory horror face melting craziness
- Comment on Bob Iger Says Disney’s Film Slate in Next 18 Months Is Its Best Since 2019 2 weeks ago:
I hope their projects do well & I get I’m not the target audience for most of their stuff anymore, but I don’t think I can watch another fantastic four after how good the first half and soundtrack was to the last one and how terrible the second half was.

- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 2 weeks ago:
Monster sanctuary (turn based monster collector) and Roboquest (arena shooter) were a couple from recent years that stood out to me
For older games nethack and dwarf fortress are great if you can look past the graphics
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s more run away/chain reaction type events you want to avoid I think rather than a low % inflation or deflation that remains relatively stable, swing too far in either direction and you going to have problems.

It’s not his call & an illegal executive order, funding is Congress and the corporation for public broadcast is a corporation not a government department.

- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 4 weeks ago:
I’ll go with some classics if you haven’t tried them yet. Planescape: torment is a really engaging crpg if you don’t mind old graphics and dig lots of lore and dialogue. Morrowind if you prefer first person for another old school rpg with lots of stuff to discover in a weird surreal environment. Dwarf fortress sounds like another older one you might be into too.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall Unity Review 4 weeks ago:
You could try the original version, they released it for free and the pixelation may help make it feel less disorienting. Or when I used to play some games on the psvr I’d have a ginger ale or something with ginger in it to help with any disorientation nausea.

Yeah all the Troma stuff was the first thing that popped in my mind too, Nukem high, toxic avenger, etc
- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 5 weeks ago:
Jennifer’s Body made some money but was critically received, but itis actually a pretty good horror movie that was marketed poorly
Lake Placid is meant to be a goofy comedy horror movie that is a fun watch and made just enough to trigger endless terrible sequels like Hellraiser and Amityville, reviews treated it like it was trying to play seriously but some of the lines are so cheesy
Kelly Scott: The lake is so black and still.
Sheriff Hank Keough: Yeah, we wanted to call it Lake Placid, but someone said that name was taken

Good game and the sequel was solid too, worth a playthrough to meet the milk man and explore the meat circus
