They Live (1988).

It’s rad!

It is infuriating to me how often people start explaining the rules without explaining what the actual goals are first. Like, what are we even doing here, start with that, m’kay?

‘Fanta Menace’!!! I’m in fucking tears, how have I never heard this before!? 🤣🤣🤣

Same here! This morning’s hangover, as just one example, 100% attributable to Covid! Definitely not the decision to have highballs #5-8 last night.

Oh shit… do I have ADHD?

“Like throwing babies into shark tank,” has immediately entered my personal daily lexicon.

Game devs been reading Use of Weapons, I guess.

Same. I’m fucking furious. I specifically chose it over something like Readwise in order to stay open source. Ugh.

Go on…

Yikes! Yeah, that’s messed up. Thanks for the info!

I’m out of the loop, what did Better Help do?

Network (1976). https://imdb.com/title/tt0074958/

Sorry, should have mentioned.

I watched this movie for the first time last year and it’s shocking how relevant it still is. Aside from the fashions, you could have told me it was made last year and I’d believe you.

New season of Connections With James Burke is off to a rollicking start.

There was a Voyager episode that documented this in detail.

Cabin in the Woods, anyone?

How dare you make me remember these things and realize how old I am!

Weren’t there a bunch of mods for the original releases that upgraded textures, added maps and factions and all that? Why would anyone buy these rereleases instead?

I think the point here though isn’t as much ‘how do we play the game?’ as it is why there hell are we all forced into playing a metagame that is so inherently harmful and specifically designed to encourage risky behavior (I.e. the idea of debt being favorable)?

My go to is “invisible sky pixie” because it replaces the image of a caring parental figure with a diminutive and capricious sprite.
