Recently got into photography and use a FOSS program called Darktable to manage/edit etc my pictures.

The Beach That Makes You Grow Old movie is so, so terrible & is my exhibit A in how Shyamalan always speaks down to his audiences.
(Alternatively I hold Fury Road up as a film that respects the audience & trusts they will get plot & world/setting without halting the movie to explain it to them)

Ehhhhh.... After they replaced some of the cast after the first season, it's no wonder it was eventually cancelled. 😉

One guy did stuff like make characters who's goal was to be a leather tanner. Not even *the worlds greatest* leather tanner, or even as part of a "I just want to tan my damn leather, and the bastards keep pulling me back in" repeated beat/joke. But being a fighter and his goal was wanting a... job.

Do you run into people who won't take chances or be heroic or motivated *in game*? In my last group this was a repeated theme. It was mind boggling. Sure, i want my pc to survive, but i also wanna do cool stuff, and this would happen despite "session zero"... I could never get them over that.
