an add every 5-10min that lasts from 5-40s. Who the hell can actually enjoy a movie or a TV show in these conditions?
Everything comes full circle…
As a kid watching TV, about 30% of the runtime of a show was commercials. Us old people are used to that kind of advertising presence, hell, people used to watch the Super Bowl specifically for the commercials!
Not saying it’s a good thing, just saying that the corporate CEOs of today grew up with it, so it’s “normal” to them.
I still kick myself for not grabbing that game off a buddy for $100… I did get to play it, though, but never finished.

If you’ve never heard of this game, I envy you being able to play it blind. Don’t do research, just play it and you’ll get more from the experience!
Hollow Knight is the king of a crowded Genre by far. The charm of the world building is spot on and just leaves you wanting more.
I’ve been impatiently waiting for Silksong since I accepted defeat on the endgame content of Hollow Knight for my own sanity.
Noita is my favorite game that I’m terrible at, lol. I love Metroidvanias & everything Roguelike/Roguelite, so this game ticks the right boxes for me. I die in more spectacular ways Everytime I play, but still have a good time.
Technology is magic. I know how to operate a lot of it, but I have no idea of the inner workings. I’m poking my fingers on a lighted piece of glass with liquid inside to type this message… And that works because some wizards a thousand miles away are using angry rocks to boil water to make domesticated lightning.
The veil lifts too easily and I hate it.
After 6 months of waiting for the test to come back from the state lab:

A piece of stainless steel or aluminum duct and a few hose clamps will hold this together long enough for you to forget that you rigged it when it breaks again and you actually have to replace something.
Cabin in the Woods is top tier. Everytime I watch it I see something new. It’s a blast to watch with people who have never seen it, and even more fun if they’re going in blind.
Small tip: try a lacrosse ball for rolling around on. That’s what I use for pains in my lower back/hips and shoulders, and sometimes it’s more effective to lean against a wall that to get all the way on the floor.
I’ve described fixing my back pain to people as needing to take my spine out, crack it like a whip, and then put it back. Sounds like you have a similar issue with needing that individual articulation.
Around me, the threat would be “That’s how you get fucked up,” leaving the level of violence ambiguous.
Are you criticizing my MIDI art?
I deal with it through a lifetime of developing thick skin, education, and comedy.
The occasional threat of handing out 3/5’s of an ass whooping helps as well.
I’m black. Been judged and profiled my whole life.

Had to go back and listen to the wordplay because I didn’t think I heard it right, then the next line was him explaining that yes, I heard it right, then playing off the explanation.
I just use the last 12 digits of pi for all my passwords. So easy to remember!
A text editor…
1.2 Mb of uncommented code using single letters for variables written 30 years ago that somehow compiled into ASCII based vertical scrolling space shooter.
Yes, I’m embarrassed; No, you can’t play it.
I still have the floppy disk, but I refuse to buy a drive to load the file onto my current computer because I would cringe so hard I would die. It was written in god-damned QuickBASIC…
House on haunted Hill & Cabin in the woods bouth seem kinda plausible
The Great Gatsby.
I’ve read a lot of books, but that one I literally remember nothing about. Not a quote, not a character, not the plot… All I remember is the cover was some weird abstract art piece with creepy eyes, my brain purged everything else about it book. Probably for my own sanity.
