rewatched us and the extent to which my wife knew nothing about the film was a delight

one of few games that actually fulfills the promise of what gaming offers narrative storytelling by actually telling a magnificent story in a way only a game can. an all-time favorite

over a year old lol

really don't expect to see a full transition from twitter until we can have locked accounts and group DMs, but we are officially at the "you are taking a risk still having a public account" point over there. and, tbh, private accounts there are probably not as safe as you think!

An excellent writeup (as you can always expect from alx) about one of the inarguable great titans of music

Just putting out there that anyone being a scold about people wanting to keep in touch with their friends before this all happened is getting an instant block. It doesn't seem like anyone likes the CEO here either

Thrilled to say we've finally hit 100 subscribers, all through word of mouth! I never expected this to happen - thank you all for reading!

bored of everyone's answers to this always being right wing guys. let's actually get into some meat, talk about people on our own side. let's actually examine the politics of people like the coppolas, coogler, sean baker, because they've made films that offer lefty imaginaries but with real blinders
