When a review profile has 'horns' (spikes at 10/10 and 1/10) it indicates a 'political' fight not a review of the facts. (Using IMdB data) That 4,600 people took the time to post a 1/10 score to damage the movie is indeed crazy.

I think there is zero in-game basis for connecting the Protheans and the Angara. Whether the voice actors, Ike Amadi and Nyasha Hatendi have similar voices is a personal judgment call.

Tattered torn and soiled national flags are hardly dignified. Though it does seem strangely fitting to the current climate.

Watching innocent people burned out of their homes in Belfast. Families with children and babies fleeing for their lives from racist thugs fills me with pure cold rage. A rage to be focused politically to ensure that those who fuel and incite such racism never get a whiff of political power. 😬

With Crimson Desert dropping soon, it's amazing how many AI Slop 'game guides' are offered for sale on Amazon. I counted 17 of them. It bemuses me why both Amazon and Pearl Abyss seem to think this is ok. I used to like Game Guides but I suspect those days have gone (AI Slop excepted).

Enjoying the 10-year-old game Mafia III. For an open world romp where you tackle thugs, drug dealers, corrupt law enforcement, bigoted media influencers, bought judges, white supremacists and unhinged politicians, it ticks a lot of boxes and gives sobering insight into the late 1960's. 🫢

Redacting documents is tricky. If something is lightly redacted then context will often reveal it. Beyond that, blacking out everything smacks of cover up.

I was idly discussing classic #StarTrek and suggested that it would be better for a new viewer to only watch the best 50 (skipping 30 filler episodes) than plough on through the whole lot. Having trimmed by IMDb ratings, I think it's also a solid list for a rewatch.. 🤔 (Mudds W. included for plot).

Where No Man Has Gone Before 
The Man Trap 
The Naked Time 
The Enemy Within 
Mudd's Women

3rd person is a huge step for me. I played some at launch for a month with a month of U+ but the 1st person isn't so good for me. I picked up the game now at 75% off. I'm guessing with the movie release in December, the price will bump back up when the 3rd person update drops. 🤔

Hot day. Cans of Pepsi* (works with Coke too I expect) in the back of the car. Drive over some rough roads and bang! 😲 Uncertain of the science involved here, but it was quite a shock. (8 can pack - 3 exploded, 2 deformed, 3 unaffected). *(I like the Strawberries and Cream variety, don't @ me).
