- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 1 week ago:
Nosferatu. Everyone acts their socks off and it’s entertaining enough but the drama felt, I don’t know, a little overcranked? And I’d call it creepy rather than scary. I enjoyed it though.
And last night I rewatched The Transporter for the first time in years. It pains me to say it’s not as good as I remember. I don’t think I’d noticed how edited the fights are, sooo many cuts so it all seems so much faster than it is. And I love Jason Statham, his movies are reliably entertaining if a little formulaic, but his acting wasn’t great in this, I felt he came off a little wooden at times. I remember at the time finding Matt Schulze’s character a bit weird and he still is. What’s with stroking the envelope of cash? And had Ric Young had plastic surgery? Super weird looking. Anyway, even with all my complaints it’s still good fun.
- Comment on Chinese Keyboards 3 weeks ago:
So, a half remembered Radiolab episode or maybe it was 99% Invisible talked about this. If I remember rightly they did consider changing it because it was so much quicker and easier typing in English which matters in the digital age. Until someone figured they could break down all the Chinese characters into a much smaller selection of base shapes. So you could make a character by pressing a small selection of keys. So it meant a much more manageable keyboard. I think it’s even resulted in the fastest Chinese typist being faster than English.

- Comment on Which were the worst movies of 2024? 1 month ago:
I saw Rumours last night.
That’s a couple of hours of my life I want back.
I think there was meant to be some laughs in there but I didn’t laugh. There was probably meant to be a deeper message but frankly I was too bored and irritated to care.
- Comment on Trump's eligibility 2 months ago:
But why? Why are all these people so happy to protect such a despicable human being who will happily throw any of them under the bus and who has, and will again, sell out their country to anyone who says nice stuff to him and gives him money? It’s absolutely extraordinary.

Computer Based Training?
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 5 months ago:
For a modern Desert Strike check out Cleared Hot on Steam. It’s not out yet but it looks promising and it’s by a guy who wanted something like Desert Strike. Funnily enough it came up in a similar thread on Reddit a while back and I added it to my wishlist there and then.

I’m sorry what? We have a native spider the size of a rat? Why did I not know this. This is important information.
I am never leaving the house again.
