I like the movies of his I’ve seen but I couldn’t believe how pointless and dull the first two episodes of his Hill House series were. Almost nothing happens and the second episode is mostly an extended multi-part flashback hammering home the incredibly deep and complex theme of
The Fate/Stay Night meme of a character saying “People die if they are killed…”

get your chuck wending ass back to orc city, you fucking idiots. all the dark money in the world and this is the best writing you can offer
But you know what? They can suck it.
Because the DSA-by which I mean the official organ that controls the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America-is forking nuts. So nuts that if you told me that the DSA was a false flag operation run by the Heritage Foundation in order to discredit the Democratic party, it would make sense.

Individual DSA politicians might be closet normies (like Mamdani) but the organization itself? Guys, buckle up. We're going on a tour of crazy.

Bill Gates was in Doom to celebrate how good Windows 95 was for gaming. Doom 95 was such a big deal that the Microsoft employee who created it was given free license to work with id’s newest engine to create his own game. The employee, Gabe Newell and the game, Half-Life.

on the other hand you have shows like Gundam Seed which were animation, so they were only drawn and rendered in 4:3x, but then the HD Remaster just chopped off tops and bottoms of a ton of frames to make them fit 16:9
A side-by-side comparison of a shot from Gundam Seed; the left side shows a full frame and the right side shows roughly a quarter of the bottom of the frame has been removed, thus eliminating a character’s mouth. Source: gundampixel.com

Devil may cry 2 rocks, I’m a big fan of the boss you kill with chip damage from your pistols while it’s offscreen 50% of the time. A nice change of pace from the kinda clunky swordplay and the tank enemies that pose literally no threat when you get close to them.
