oof
- Comment on What is this specific kind of sheet called? 5 days ago:
I mean, it might have just been a liner for a comforter - there are essentially sheets that are sewn together that you can fit a comforter in, so you can take the comforter out and wash the sheets occasionally and keep the comforter clean.
So maybe google “duvet cover” or “quilt cover” and see if that matches?

At a press event last year, Bloys told reporters that Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting” showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod to lead the charge on the “Harry Potter” TV series.

yeah, she’s not just a producer, even - it’s fair to say she’s very involved 😅

yes, she’s involved in the production and will definitely profit from it

the fediverse isn’t exactly a cure-all to the situation, it doesn’t solve economic problems about costs of hosting, moderating, legal compliance, etc. nor user behavioral problems … it works well for some of us, and not at all for others

- Comment on Merging a western with eldritch horror, Blood West is awesome and now Steam Deck Verified 3 weeks ago:
This reminds me of that Mythic Quest episode called “A Dark Quiet Death”, (spoilers ahead) about a fictional horror video game where users are vulnerable, have no way to fight the monsters, and only have a flashlight. After the video game is a surprise hit, the game studio increasingly crumbles to pressure to sell out, and subsequent sequels of the game increasingly cater to popular demands like that users can have a gun, then that users can actually kill monsters, and so on.
Anyway, this video game claims to be an eldritch horror game, but it’s basically a FPS shoot-em-up with monsters in a western setting, the “eldritch” aspect is basically nothing more than superficial aesthetic at that point. Eldritch horror, like the video game in “A Dark Quiet Death”, is inspired by Lovecraft’s writing, which positions humans as defenseless insects relative to the horrors that are not only beyond human capacity to fight, but often even to comprehend. The role of a gun in a Lovecraftian context is mostly to show the hubris and futility of human attempts to overcome the horrors.
All that said, this isn’t to suggest the game is wrong or bad, my thoughts are just about the deeper artistic ironies.

- Comment on ‘New Girl’ creator Elizabeth Meriwether reveals if she’d ever do more episodes 4 weeks ago:
“New Girl” creator Elizabeth Meriwether is weighing in on whether she’d ever revisit the show with a reboot or a revival series.
“I give the people what they want. There is a world, it is in a galaxy far, far away, in a multi-verse situation…” the writer, 43, exclusively told The Post.
“No, no, I love the show so much. I love the actors. Everybody who made the show is still in contact with each other. It was like a formative time in everyone’s life, I feel like. And so, it’s hard to go back.”
About whether she’d revisit the “New Girl” world and those characters, she added: “I don’t know; we’ll see.”
“I feel like the actors always throw me under the bus,” Meriwether joked to The Post.
She explained, “They get asked [if there will be more ‘New Girl,’] and then they’re always like, ‘Well, it’s up to Liz.’ And I’m like, ‘You guys!’”
Sounds like a big maybe.

Finished:
- Severance s02 (don’t recommend, s01 was good though)
- White Lotus s03 (don’t recommend)
- The Residence s01 (recommend - relatively light-hearted, fun inclusion of neurodiversity, and kept my attention even if it wasn’t the most compelling plot)
Currently watching:
- Fantasmas s01, I love this show, though it’s not for everyone
