I just watched Anna and the Apocalypse last night. Christmas/zombie/musical. Very fun little film.

There was a game a few years ago called ScreenCheat. Four-player splitscreen shooter, and everyone is invisible. So you find your target by looking at their screen to figure out where they are in the level.

Yeah, I saw that $30k for a car and immediately dismissed everything this person said. I’ve never in my life paid more than $8k for a vehicle.

gameplay didn’t evolve

Massive understatement. The PS5’s biggest titles were remakes and direct sequels. Coupling it with the “upgraded” versions of PS4 games like Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us Part 2, and GTA5, even the marketing seemed to boil down to “This is just a really nice PS4.”

The Juggernaut video was 2005, and the Fenslerfilms clips were around 2003. So neither of those are '90s

reliable and familiar that won’t break the bank.

This is why car companies are not going to offer EVs that people actually want without government intervention. I remember GM leasing EVs back in the '90s to some acclaim. But they didn’t let anyone buy out their leases and they discontinued production by the end of the decade because most of their money came from service. And a bare-bones electric car has very few service requirements.

Manufacturers need the bullshit features because they need something important and breakable for consumers to come back with. Even if it’s just planned obsolescence driving another purchase, like it sounds like the article’s author is heading towards.

Anna and the Apocalypse is pulling holiday double-duty. It’s a zombie survival musical set in the days before a school’s Christmas break. Insanely ambitious genre-bash, especially for the shoestring budget it was produced on, but a very fun way to kill 90 minutes.

Scrooged is undeniably more a Christmas movie than a Halloween movie, but it’s got some great spooky vibes. Especially with their portrayal of the Ghost of Christmas Future.

It’d likely require a different statute. Like how running a red light is a different penalty if the driver is pulled over by a cop versus the vehicle owner being caught by a stoplight camera.

Well, yes. Businesses are run as dictatorships, not democracies. This is one of the reasons why no one who would “run a country like it’s a business” should be elected to public office.

I’m wondering why I even need a smartphone at this point. I’m tempted to go back to a flip phone.

Hollow Knight was just so much well-curated content for the price. I got it on sale for $7.50, and after I played through it, I had to go buy it again at the full $15 because I felt like I’d ripped Team Cherry off.

Small indie film? Dear Zachary is a documentary produced on a shoestring budget, and it is an absolutely devastating piece of art. Just thinking about the film puts a lump in my throat.

Punch Drunk Love is a masterpiece. Simultaneously one of the funniest and most heartbreaking films I’ve ever seen in my life.
