I'll take catharsis by proxy... if only the USA would take notes. Really happy for Brazil, though! I hope they can continue to keep authoritarians at bay.

Still does, honestly. I've yet to get a tattoo but I've considered getting "Beauty lies behind the hills" somewhere...

I was DEEP in the closet when I first listened to the album and I didn't even recognize at the time why it affected me so much. Powerful stuff.

Make me!

Also, as a gay guy, Run Boy Run is so damn powerful. The Golden Age is a masterpiece of an album.

Woodkid is incredible. I still listen to Iron semi-regularly cause there's so few songs that wring my soul quite as hard as that one.

The end credits are great... what terrible horrible things I would do for a Portal 3 with the Portal 2 team returning... 🫠

Got it! I'll give it a go. I've been meaning to play this one for over a decade... It's about time haha

I really need to play this one... I've never watched the anime either, despite the immense amount of praise it gets. People warn me that it takes a pretty long time to "warm up", so to speak. Do you think that's true?

I'm only asking this to make sure I'm in the right mental place to play it (I already bought it!): I see the disclaimer that it is fully linear. Which is fine! But is there any dialog choices at all?

Wow, I just read that interview and YIKES. The moment they brought up Hindenburg Research, Baszucki instantly went hyper-defensive. Really struck a nerve.

Also, "I would push back on that a bit" is a new phrase to raise my blood pressure a bit. Fun.

Hmm... I've still yet to play this one. I've put an ABSURD amount of hours into Crusader Kings 3 but that's mostly because I really enjoyed not actually playing and just watching the AI duke it out like an ant colony...

Intuit is a scam company so it is not even a tiny bit surprising that they're latching onto another scam.

Are you going to announce Half Life 3 during this stream?

Truthfully, I don't think the limited characters of Bluesky is the best place to go into it. It's not just the ending, honestly... either way, I think this article does a pretty good job describing the issues with Act 2 as a whole (Spoilers, of course): medium.com/theuglymonst...

It really is. The musical (and even the book itself) take a serious nosedive after the intermission/halfway point. It's a shame too because the first part has such an interesting setup but I don't personally believe the second half delivers at all.

I'm honestly not surprised... even in the original musical, the second half was generally considered much weaker than the first part. Considering how great the first part is, I'm sure part two is still quality but it seems they understandably kept the rather disappointing ending.

Does blocks include Lego blocks? Because I would like to request a Bright Red - 21, 1 x 1, Item #3024 block plate please.

It's so funny because one of the leads allegedly got fired over putting too much time into his AI Film Venture to make a Christmas movie... This shit does not feel like real life.
