Same had a little acer mini laptop in early 2000s I used it for notes, office apps, etc during college and between the battery life and how much more portable it was than the giant laptop I had at the time it was great, it ran BSD without any fuss too.

Watched Star wars EP 4 a new hope on Sunday, I usually watch empire or rotj if I feel like some star wars, it was nice going back to the beginning. 8/10 because I can only get the remake version, followed up with Spaceballs

Rewatched groundhog day, classic rom com I expect willhold up for a very long time

Street trash, remake of an old Troma-like movie, low budget gory horror face melting craziness

I hope their projects do well & I get I’m not the target audience for most of their stuff anymore, but I don’t think I can watch another fantastic four after how good the first half and soundtrack was to the last one and how terrible the second half was.

Monster sanctuary (turn based monster collector) and Roboquest (arena shooter) were a couple from recent years that stood out to me

For older games nethack and dwarf fortress are great if you can look past the graphics

It’s more run away/chain reaction type events you want to avoid I think rather than a low % inflation or deflation that remains relatively stable, swing too far in either direction and you’ll have problems.

A bunch of retro games have good couch co-op support & the steam deck can emulate pretty much all of them

Zombies ate my neighbors, smash TV, 2-d brawlers like TMNT turtles in time, double dragon, and streets of rage, Goldeneye, toejam and Earl, bubble bobble

Code written by software doesn’t mean AI unless you ignore compilers

Executives lie to boost profits and justify their decisions, I doubt MS execs even know how much of their code is AI generated just like the ad sales company exec they were talking to in the article

The command line is an exceptionally useful tool, you may want to spend a little time getting familiar with it and common command line tools that would probably make self hosting almost anything easier.

It’s like wanting to learn to play guitar but not learning how to restring and tune it, sure it’s not necessary but you’re going to be overly dependent on others to do something you could learn for yourself with a little time and patience, and it will probably broaden your perspective on what you can do once you do get familiar with how to pipe commands together and combine basic tools into something more sophisticated and complex.

We hide from the robots during the rain and snow, because they can’t see where they have to go

I’ll go with some classics if you haven’t tried them yet. Planescape: torment is a really engaging crpg if you don’t mind old graphics and dig lots of lore and dialogue. Morrowind if you prefer first person for another old school rpg with lots of stuff to discover in a weird surreal environment. Dwarf fortress sounds like another older one you might be into too.

You could try the original version, they released it for free and the pixelation may help make it feel less disorienting. Or when I used to play some games on the psvr I’d have a ginger ale or something with ginger in it to help with any disorientation nausea.

Yeah all the Troma stuff was the first thing that popped in my mind too, Nukem high, toxic avenger, etc

Jennifer’s Body made some money but was poorly critically received, but it is actually a pretty good horror movie that was marketed poorly

Lake Placid is meant to be a goofy comedy horror movie that is a fun watch and made just enough to trigger endless terrible sequels like Hellraiser and Amityville, reviews treated it like it was trying to play seriously but some of the lines are so cheesy

Kelly Scott: The lake is so black and still.

Sheriff Hank Keough: Yeah, we wanted to call it Lake Placid, but someone said that name was taken

If you’re into 80s action/thriller The Guest is an homage that does a really good job, and has a unique soundtrack

Brick, early 2000s neo noir with the cast talking like a bunch of 1920s private eyes and gangsters. Like The Guest it was received well critically but just had a really small release.

Blue Underground has a bunch of stuff no streaming service would ever touch

Good game and the sequel was solid too, worth a playthrough to meet the milk man and explore the meat circus

Patrons who buy a ticket

Become a congressperson, they get Medicare for life just like every other citizen should have but don’t because Congress will grant it to themselves but not everyone else. If it’s good enough for them it should be good enough to cover us.

Korn shell scripts get all the subsidizes anyways

I get the idea that it’s only temporary, but I’d much rather have a current gen AI paint a picture than attempt to program a guidance system or a heart monitor
