You’re gonna laugh, but I have a lot of love for Legend with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. How Tim Curry managed to chew the set that hard with horns that size is beyond my acting skill to comprehend. And the fact that Tom Cruise ran around saving unicorns from Satan with a motley crew of fairy sidekicks is a sentence gay enough to make me puke rainbows. I’m already gay, man, I puke rainbows all month during June.
Seriously, it’s a good and awful movie. It has no plot, it’s just aesthetic art. But if you want a really good fantasy movie about unicorns… The Last Unicorn. Full stop. It has made me cry since I was a child.

Don’t worry, it’s a fake. Luckily.

Right. Sure. Keep shilling for daddy Putin, you’ll get your promotion for sure if you keep it up.
Fuck you, Russia STARTED this fight. Imperialism and capitalism are the god damn problem, and here you are enabling them both.

Ooh, a Russian troll! Quick, whack him with the hammer, they’re worth extra bonus points!

Do you like cancer research? How about fighting forest fires? Averting mid-air plane collisions?
DOGE sure hates all of those.

I think we’re headed for balkanization. We’re seeing the breakup of the USSR all over again.

God, the ALSA-PulseAudio Wars never fucking ended, and we’ve been stranded ever since. It’s the Wayland/X11 windowing struggle all over again!

On non-Ubuntu distros, for ProtonVPN, I’ve had better luck using their CLI interface. It works just fine, it just means learning a bit of the terminal. I like the automatic killswitch, especially since I’m a habitual pirate.
Proton advises against using third-party repos, which I feel is sensible. But for all other options, I tend to appreciate the plug-and-play nature of .deb and .rpm packages and Flatpaks. Flatseal puts my paranoia at ease. Set and forget. :)
Proton’s a bit behind the curve, feature-wise, but I trust them more than I trust NordVPN or ExpressVPN. For one, their advertisement blocker ACTUALLY works as advertised.

AMD has open-source drivers that play better with Linux distros. If you’re running post-2020 Intel hardware, good luck.

GoG install scripts are actually community-submitted and not actively maintained. You might have some luck with Lutris or WINE. Sometimes, Bottles or even PlayOnLinux are compatible.

It’s a headache, and a loooot of googling, trying to get games to run. But with Proton’s introduction, it’s gotten a lot easier to get things to run without pulling out wads of hair.
But you’re right, if the app is non-native? Have fun breaking out the thumbscrews, because ya better like pain. 😂

Less user-hostile? Maybe. Hostile to the tech-illiterate? Oh, absolutely. There is no handholding. There are no guardrails. You wanna “sudo rm -fr / --no-preserve-root”? o7, gamer.

This scene was actually drawn hastily as the shot itself was done during the crunch period of production, at the very end of the deadline. Be Our Guest was so immensely, terribly complex that it took the bulk of the animation department to pull off. It took a small army of extremely talented artists to pull off!
The pencil roughs of Beast’s human face were much more aesthetically pleasing, but it just didn’t translate to the finished cel.

The eternal enemy of Dudes and Dudeism everywhere: Nihilists and Nihilism.

The Dude abides. ✌️
Much like the Dude himself, who is surrounded by people who are way too wound up in the world around him, you gotta remember. Sometimes, there’s a lot of weird ones, like sexy feminists who swing naked from ceilings to paint, or your whacked-out 'Nam vet buddy who’s just never moved on. And then there are assholes who piss on your rug, toe-severing German Nihilists, and rich old geezers who concoct kidnapping schemes to hide that he’s been stealing from impoverished kids. And, of course, fascists. Lots and lots of fascists.
Remember, the enemy of Dudeism is Nihilism. And fascists are, usually, either Nihilists, scammers, rug-pissers, or other zealots.
