• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to forget things from the previous day often?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have this issue too, caused by the anxiety I have knowing that the moment I have to speak publically my mind goes completely blank and the more I try to recall the worse it gets. To help overcome the issue I take a few minutes to make a brief list of notes at the end of every day that outlines what I worked on that day and where I left things.

  It ends up in me mostly reading off a list but since I work remotely I just put it on another monitor and it’s not a big deal. I give it helped a ton and I feel much less put on the spot at the beginning of each work day.

  I sometimes do a small roast in mine and it works great. Takes maybe 1/2 the time because of not having to wait for it to heat up and it cooks a bit faster overall as well.

  150m a year doesn’t seem that much, honestly. I know people think “oh, it’s just a website” but it takes a lot of work and money in salaries and infrastructure hosting to keep a web application as popular as Wikipedia up and running.

  Season 2 was the middle ages, season 3 was the western. Mad Max is season 4.

  There’s already a version of the switch that has an OLED screen

  In general I agree with your point, but CGI blood is almost never invisible and generally looks like shit. Almost as bad as CGI fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What show took you the longest to get into?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I still think it’s worth watching from season 1 - there are a couple of pretty good episodes and it sets up some stuff that comes back later on, like building the park in the vacant lot. Plus, it’s only 6 episodes IIRC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] According to you, what was the most unnecessary and worst sequel of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Even though it’s obviously a completely shallow copy of the original, is still a fun watch for the following reasons:

  • All of Egon’s lines.
  • All of Venkman’s lines.
  • Peter MacNicol’s character.
  • The whole “World of the Psychic” scene
  • The whole courtroom scene (as you mentioned).
  • The overall concept of the haunted painting is pretty fun, but I think in combination with the mood slime idea it overcomplicates things. However, there are some fun moments with the slime.
  • Louis and Jeanine’s romance has some funny dialogue, though that storyline kind of wastes time that could’ve been spent on more fun supernatural stuff.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[discussion] The Nice Guys (2016)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, if you want recommendations for other movies like this then you should probably check out Shane Black’s very similar precursor called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[discussion] The Nice Guys (2016)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Kid Detective is great! The revelation at the end that significantly changes the tone works surprisingly well, IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a fractured mess and easily the worst of the series⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t amazing but IMO the first 2 were also just ok, so I generally enjoyed the 3rd about the same.
