  Never played any of these before. Do I start with this one or would I need 1?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Basic thoughts after I recently re-watched the Craig-era Bond Films⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know many people loved Casino Royale, but from that movie onward they shifted to be too serious and no longer fun, action movies. The set pieces are great, but I stopped enjoying myself watching Bond movies because from the Craig era they all took themselves way too seriously. I think they just saw how well the Bourne series was performing, and like they always do, switch gears to copy whatever’s popular, but by doing so got rid of the main reason why I enjoyed the series in the first place.

  They may have made the page purely for SEO to grab a few people considering downloading GIMP.

  For anyone wondering it’s because the bowling ball slightly pulls the earth faster toward itself. This amount is too small to possibly measure. But imagine if the bowling ball were the size of another Earth and it’s easier to see why it happens.

  Medic: “Later.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[IJustWatched] Blade Runner 2049. What do you think about it?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched the original before the sequel just so I could follow the story after hearing so many people recommend the sequel. My thoughts on the original are it has an awesome vibe and cool music, but the story didn’t capture me because I didn’t know what characters I should be rooting for. Add that to the overall depressive nature of the directing, and it bored me.

  The sequel took all of what I thought was cool about the original - that unique vibe and music and art - and put it into a fresh story, with clearer characters that evolve throughout the story, a plot with heaps of important characters that makes you think about something besides only “Is the main character a replicant?” Plenty of small characters that are interesting and essential to the plot, and not throwaways. The original felt like it set up the entire fabric of the sequel, but man does the sequel create a beautiful final product.

  CyberPunk 2077 did a similar thing. Seems to be a new pattern. Promise free DLC to drum up support. Charge for the DLC. Wait for things to cool down. Do it again.

  You definitely need a straw for a Slurpee or Icee because otherwise you can’t go KhHHHhHhhHHhhuhHh with the straw against the lid up and down making that horrible sound as you try to drink the bottom and the top flavor consecutively. Can’t do that without a straw.

  Believe it or not, straight to hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield Launch Details, PC Specs & More⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was burned too bad with Cyberpunk 2077 that even though Starfield seems to be all right, I’m waiting until after reviews come out before I pick up a copy. That just means I wait a few more days to reduce the risk of more pain.
