Of course. I mighta flunked out of my first go at college anyway. Definitely didn't have the discipline for it.
Still, if I'd been able to articulate then how much I enjoy doing the research, following information, then putting it all together in writing, who knows what I could've wound up doing?

20 years ago I went to college and aimed at a journalism degree. My advisor basically told me I shouldn't because I explained my reasons for it poorly, being an 18-year-old idiot. This makes me wonder where I might've gone if I hadn't been persuaded to change majors.

THATS why it looked familiar-but-not-quite! Sidereal Confluence is one hell of a fun game of wheeling and dealing and its shockingly balanced for how different everything is. I'm jealous that you're playing with a designer for it!

And Lynne Thigpen? HELL yes.
Bonus points for Randy Quaid as a conspiracy theorists nut job, which may or may not be a performance.

Marisa Tomei is wonderful. This is very much a Randy Newman score. And that joke of a story he gives when walking into the newsroom- we'd all be better off, wouldn't we?

@theonetruejames.bsky.social told me about this one, so here I am...
The Paper (1994)
Dir: Ron Howard
I think that this is the only time Keaton and Howard did a movie together aside from 1983's Night Shift and damn if the energy isn't great right from the start.

People in movies from 20+ years ago who are my age now have full-on "quit job, change successful career, maybe find a new partner" midlife crises and I'm only just starting to make my way out of the service industry I've been in since some of that shit came out.
