I binged every episode of It's Alive with Brad and that was amazing! It's now my second favorite YouTube cooking show after Henry's Kitchen.

The combat's actually rather simple, all things considered. It takes a little while to get used to it but once you do it's not like you're playing Batman or something where there are a bunch of different combos and gadgets and stuff.

Okja is one of my favorite movies of all time. One of the few 100 out of 100 ratings I've given. I made a couple gifs of my favorite part of the movie (teeny tiny spoiler):

I finished Prey (2017) a little while ago. Amazing game. GOTY 2017 for sure, basically. Everything I could've hoped for from a System Shock 3. That this game hasn't set the world on fire twice over is a tragedy for all gamedom.
I started and finished The Beginner's Guide a few days ago. Also an amazing game. I think it's one of the most intricate, thematically rich games I've ever played. It almost feels like it's impossible to say anything of substance about it because there is just so much to grapple with that it's impossible to know where to start or to mention one thing without mentioning everything, and you can't mention everything.

The Last Night is a really good illustration of the general phenomenon that made cyberpunk so interesting in the first place, which is that world design encodes a lot of ideology. The difference is that The Last Night seems like it has a very anti-punk ideology behind it, whereas of course cybepunk got its name from being punk (unlike every other *punk thing).

China Sichuan Food is my favorite.

I played Shadow of Chernobyl a long time ago, loved it. I've thought about picking up one of the other STALKER games in the current Steam sale, modding it to the state of the art, and playing it, but I don't know which to pick or whether to bother. I think maybe some people think I've already played the best thing the STALKER series has to offer. Thus if you bounce off Shadow of Chernobyl I suspect there's not much else there for you, although I could be wrong.

I think every movie the Wachowskis have made is good and I think the three Matrix movies are about as good as each other. George Lucas's movies got worse because he divorced his editor.

I've heard Guns, Germs, and Steel is basically wrong about everything, but I've never read the book (because I've heard it's wrong about everything) so I can't really say more. There is this collection of reddit posts which might be relevant.

I haven't seen it, but I've heard that What the Health is a new, super compelling documentary about meat eating.

2 hours ago, Patrick R said:"I wish human beings didn't need to eat to live nor ever got hungry." is still a way shorter sentence than what we got going.
It's still open to the genie to say "okay, but you need nutrients somehow, so you can eat them if you want, or you can drink them. You don't need to eat them, but if you don't eat them, you'd better drink them, otherwise you'll die of malnutrition. Also you won't know when you need nutrients because you won't get hungry."

The the genie will make it so that if you don't eat, you survive, but you get progressively hungrier, until you feel like you're starving to death, even though technically you're fine. Maybe the genie will even make it so that if you eat, you die, because "if you don't eat, you live" turns out to be the same as "if you live, you don't eat," so everyone is cursed to eternally be starving. Like the pirates in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Much more manageable - thanks!

The link for Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective in the show notes is not particularly helpful, seeing as there's one copy available and it's $149 (albeit with free shipping!).

I've seen 68 of the 100. Most are pretty good.

I liked it.

I'd be down for that.

If anyone's interested, in this upcoming week (starting Monday) at 5:00 PM each evening I'll be playing through BioShock Infinite on my stream (kind of a long story). If you're interested in watching, more details are here. I doubt I will meet someone from 3rd grade but maybe I'll meet an alternate reality version of myself who went to a different 3rd grade school.

I recently bought this. 90% of the reason was that I heard a ton of great stuff about it and wanted to play it, 10% of the reason is that I wanted to listen to the two latest Idle Thumbs episodes but I don't want anything spoiled so I gotta play the game first. Anyways I played a few hours and it's fucking amazing. It's more or less literally System Shock 3, but with a great dash of paranoia thanks to those fuckin' mimics. I've been saving up all my neuromods and haven't used 'em yet, but the game has started getting harder (I'm playing on Hard) so I think I'll have to upgrade at some point.

There's also this:

2 minutes ago, Bjorn said:Man, I sure was a lot more willing to write walls o text in 2014 than I am now. Also, time travel message to bjorn of 2014, use some paragraph breaks yo.
The single line line breaks from all the posts of that era got deleted. Your posts were fine, they just look weird now.
I forgot I had posted in that thread. Turns out I did! Cool.

22 minutes ago, Cordeos said:Remember the 'Duke' Xbox controller that was universally panned?
ITS BACK BABY!
Honestly this is my favorite console controller. I tend to not be a huge fan of controllers - the Playstation consoles, for instance, have never had a controller I've liked at all. It just feels terrible. My hands aren't even huge, either! They're normal sized! For whatever reason, the huge XBOX controller was the most comfortable and natural for me.
I'm also really excited for the impending invasion of shitlords since the other thread about that GatorGator got linked at RPS or whatever. And by "excited" I mean "what did we do to deserve this?"

I'm excited to hear about the new Wolfenstein, which looks great (although I haven't played The Old Blood yet) and I'm super excited about the Dishonored 2 DLC, having just finished the game not too long ago. The new Wolfenstein is so amazing that it's even able to make an evil person understand why representation in media matters, although he doesn't realized that he's learned a lesson. (Bonus hilarious tweet. Apparently the game series that has been about killing Nazis since 1981 is fulfilling its "diversity quota" by making Nazis the bad guys.)

Why would it need to carry the bodies away? Because it's equipped with the ability to engage in evasive action to work safely with and around people, nobody will ever suspect it.
