That's okay. In a year or two they'll call it a "cult classic" and make another anyway.

Ideal: "Oh wow! I could hang out with friends in my dreams! Conversations on the moon!!"

Reality: "You’re late"

Bonus: "We don't have to pay them anything because they're not physically at work!"

Oh. I know. But you don't understand - I'm compelled to type it out. I must.

clear. Constantly, and for no reason.

"Covenant" and "Prometheus" would've been killer movies to kick off a new IP.

I might be the old man shouting at clouds, but I've been turned off to all franchise "reboots". Just sick of rehashes and revisits and the cute little "winks" these movies do to the previous installments. Have an original thought, damn.

Sixteen allegations were categorised as having “no evidence to support the narrative of the allegation” and were unfounded. One was partially supported as “evidence supports the historical allegation, but Dublin Zoo had resolved the issue”.

Sounds like "whistleblower" in this case is just some prick with a grudge.

Metal Gear Solid 4 was tremendous fun to replay and complete. Beating the game in various ways unlocks new gear (that's maybe a little broken) for your next playthrough.

It's a linear game, so I could see it getting repetitive for some people, but it kept me entertained.

I don't get NixOS

It's not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you'd then ideally store in a VCS like git.

I haven't messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.

Which other Sim games are you eyeballing? I've been craving a good non-EA Sims game.

Zelda Williams as in Robin Williams' daughter??

Wow! It's gorgeous! I hate it! I want one in my house!

What bugs me is when people are aghast that I haven't seen specific movies.

"YOU HAVENT SEEN ____???? OH MY GOD IT'S SO GOOD LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT."

None of the films that've been introduced to me this way were worth my time.

It clearly needs to hydrate

Soon, where Toon Town once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food. Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see. My God, it'll be beautiful.
