Oh boy I can’t wait to insert micro programs into my pdfs hey why did my console just flash what’s up with that

But does it spark joy

That’s fair!

It’s not great in bogs and up hills I’ll admit

I’m a pedant! I’ll admit it!

I watched the Director’s cut. It is a ridiculous movie lol

Sorry but the Hollywoodisms and bad history aside, it is also just orientalist as all hell and I will hold the movie’s pretense of being a historical movie against it when it is so deeply revisionist

A movie I did really enjoy was Waterloo for example. There are plenty of movies where I can forgive some artistic license. Hell, I like Chernobyl even though yes, that is also revisionist, but I understand the choices that were made. For Kingdom of Heaven though, it’s clear Ridley Scott did what he is known for: putting a hatchet to real stories and chopping them down until there’s nothing left.

I have seen so much praise for Kingdom of Heaven and all I did was laugh or yell at it, usually both. It’s so bad. So, so bad.

I’m sorry, you’re telling me they built siege towers in the middle of the desert. Where did they get the wood??? And there’s like 12 of them? And you aimed a Ballista and that took down every single one of them in one swoop? ALSO YOU ARE A SMITH APPRENTICE BUT YOU KNOW SIEGE TACTICS? AND YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT DESERT IRRIGATION WHEN YOU ARE FROM FUCKING ENGLAND? AND

I’m yelling again

And that’s not to mention how deeply historically inaccurate it is at moments, like even besides all the general Hollywood of it all. Like sure they get some moments right but generally, holy shit it’s bad lol

Though I will say watching Will Turner learn sword fighting from Qui-Gon only to be interrupted by Jaime Lannister was pretty funny

It started out a lot funnier and slowly became darker over time. I think I remember Gilligan saying this was a conscious choice, to grow darker in tone over time.

Anyway, that’s what hooked a lot of people initially, and a lot of them stuck around for the drama that followed

Genuinely though the Talking Pillow scene is still my favorite. As someone who lost a dad to cancer the conversation was morbidly funny and real to me, with the pillow as a perfect set piece.

I think Fire and Stick have a long future ahead of them still. Also a big fan of Wheel and Stardew Valley.

I got some parts for a very cheap keyboard that Logitech doesn’t sell (for obvious reasons, it’s Logitech lol). Just hit up a 3d webshop and they were delivered in less than a week.

Not to mention the high-end stuff that is being used for like, medical innovations.

200?! Jesus. For what people are paying for it I’d expect 0. Goddamn.

I love how they gave the shark a wheelchair because it doesn’t have legs. That’s so wholesome.

They say the moon landing was faked but honestly, that was the only real thing that exists. It is everything else that is faked. This isn’t even earth.

I wanted to remove an Adobe file because it wouldn’t let me uninstall Adobe through the program management. It said it was being used. By explorer apparently. Checked online, all I had to do was rename the file, then delete it. Worked. But it’s so dumb.

2D is that you???

I do the same thing sometimes when customers are persistent lol

I have met some celebrities. Didn’t know a single one of them. Have been absolutely uneventful in these conversations. I did get the ‘Hey I used to work here you know!’ a couple times at my current job at a supermarket. Which is always funny because our turnover is insane so like, yea, you and a thousand other people who tf cares, I’m not looking in the back for your apple juice sir.

Yeah so being progressive means being able to take criticism. Even seeing the value of it.

And yeah, this is a dogshit thing to say by Bernie. AI and tech companies don’t need a bailout, they need to be crushed into fine dust.

I got one of these. They had accessibility options so I just did the auditory one. It says a couple words, you write them out, and you’re done. Like hell am I using a Phone for this shit.

Oof. Well, glad they got out then
