He knows him, and he’s seen him, and he loves him.

The real question is whether he’s drunk Bailey’s from a shoe.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I was working for Franklin County when Covid first happened and we went into lockdown. I processed a complaint filed by a group of restaurants downtown against DeWine personally for “impacting their business”. I had a hunch, then, that he wasn’t going to be on the right side of this ever again. I hate that I was right, but I’m not surprised.

Fifthed.

Ugh, don’t remind me. Zachary Levi broke my heart. Arcade Gannon was one of my favorite F:NV companions, too. At least there’s still Felicia Day and Danny Trejo.

Another disappointment to hear about was Michael Peña (Luis from Ant Man).

The Old Man waiting for you at the end of time in Chrono Trigger is Gaspar, the Guru of Time. (At least in the US - in Japan he was called Hash)

I thought it was fitting since I ever so briefly ran my own instance (endofti.me) when I first jumped ship from Reddit.

In an equitable world, where we had either some form of UBI or shared the means of production and had leisure time to enjoy, it wouldn’t be a thing. Spend time at home recharging, go outside and meet people. Go online and meet people. Join community events and do things that interest you and relationships will naturally bloom as a result.

Since we live in Hell? I have no idea. You tell me.

Jesus. What good are free communities if they are forced to spend their waking hours trying to earn money to exist?

Time is a commodity. Energy is a commodity. Going places and meeting people costs time and energy they don’t have to spend.

lol wife bad AMIRITE GUISE???

Ring-a-ding-ding, baby.

Before I begin - lightsabers are an awesome fantasy weapon and I would love to have one.

Lightsabers are a big reason that Star Wars is garbage.

Hardly any lightsaber fights in the OT, used by all of three people (4 if you count Han, which I don’t). Once the prequel trilogy was made and special effects were cheaper and easier, lightsabers everywhere, and instead of a lightsaber fight being an old fashioned samurai duel where the story and the fight are enhancing each other, now it’s just a spectacle. Has it been more than fifteen minutes since we saw a lightsaber? FSSH, vwoom.

Andor is regarded as one of the better pieces of Star Wars media - no lightsabers, no Jedi, just people versus the machine of the Empire.

Mandalorian S1 was straight fire. Then they introduced the Darksaber. Now nobody likes Mando anymore.

I’m not out to yuck anyone’s yum. You can like bad movies, or movies that are big tentpole spectacles but aren’t ever going to engage with you mentally. I went and saw Episode IX in theaters opening night and it was as entertaining as Hobbs and Shaw. My brain didn’t get anything out of it and it was good to see Palpatine again because he was the only one in the movie that felt like a real person with, you know, motivation and stuff. But I left the theater and I don’t really think about it (except for times like now) because it didn’t engage with me mentally. There was nothing there.

Just lightsabers.

Endless lightsabers.

I’m not crazy about all the callbacks and remember-mes either (looking at you Rogue One, Boba Fett, Solo, etc), but that’s a different rant.

Yes, well… That’s what she looks like when someone with rizz draws her. Or so I was told, anyway.

At this point, I’m choosing to believe that people are being willfully ignorant. The idea that these Nazis are going to hand power back willingly is a sick joke.

I’ll bet you anything that that user hasn’t posted anything in almost a week. Just a hunch.

Block him, Squid. He’s doing this in every thread and you need to put this energy towards more important things.

Free software had a non-free extra bit that it technically didn’t need. Accidentally got changed to need the non-free part in order to run which caused news stories. Now the change has been reverted so it’s free again.

Sure, OK.

I don’t know if it would meet your “no kid’s movie” requirement, but Hocus Pocus has been in my spooky season rotation forever.

Also, it’s technically a musical I guess but the animated Legend of Sleepy Hollow narrated/sung by Bing Crosby is a classic.

Everything else on my list has already been mentioned, but I would be remiss not to mention one of my wife’s favorites, Corpse Bride. If you were already looking at Nightmare Before Christmas, I think you’ll enjoy it.
