Tonight's disaster movie is The Day After Tomorrow (2004), which surprisingly had a 4K, Dolby Vision release.

It's one of my favorite disaster movies, and I'm pumped to be watching it!

Jake Gyllenhaal is one of my favorite actors, and it's always nice to go back and watch some of his older work.

Picked up Returnal tonight for PC and GOD DAMN this game is a awesome.

Anyone with a scifi-shooter lust like me will adore this game. I'm an hour in and can feel that old video game addiction starting to kick in.

Really love these crunchy, detailed designs!

Maybe it's time to figure out exactly what the Scapegoat looks like?

Closing out the night with a second disaster movie: Volcano (1997) and boy does it have some great color grading. It's only in 1080p and doesn't have any of that fancy HDR10 but it's shot on film with practical effects and looks great.

Maybe I should watch Dante's Peak tomorrow and compare...

Watching the 2015 disastor movie San Andreas starring The Rock and sort of loving it. Dumb, action packed, and has good effects.

I don't hate it, but it's no Day After Tomorrow.

Ok I know this account is about my sci-fi podcast but isn't it wild that the current American president blew a former president?

If this was a tv show it would be laughed off the air for being too unimaginably unrealistic.

So anyways, anyone else excited for the rebirth of vine?

I can't think of anything witty to say here, except to say AI has no place in art. Humans definitely should use AI to do all the boring crap, but art? Why would we hand off the essence of what it means to be human to a robot?

Robots are cool, but let's be real here. Create your own art.

Some important considerations in Maine on this go around.

I voted NO to Question 1 to eliminate absentee voting. Like what the hell? Disenfranchise voters much, Republicans?

I voted YES to Question 2, to establish a red flag law and increase gun safety.

Easy. Don't forget to vote, kids.

The quote I say most often during a session is "You know, he'd be a pretty good warrior if he had a head for numbers."

Anyone else remember this old Order of the Stick?
