Every New Year's my mom likes to tell me not to eat anything on the day like chicken that scratches backwards, because you're supposed to move forward into the new year or whatever. Is eating leftovers on New Year's Day also bad luck? :v:

Watched Matrix 1 a few days ago and asked myself the same question during it lol. Movie's still pretty dang good though, lots of really good late 90s/early 00s action movie music.

Antivax has had a bit of a foothold in California for a while hasn’t it? Like dating back well before Covid. Seems like there’s a bit of horseshoe theory at play when it comes to vaccines and GMOs.

Yeah I think it's been able to gain the foothold in the public discourse that is has in part because it has that sort of "bipartisan" support. If it was just weird hippies or weirder libertarian types it could be dismissed a lot more easily.

My wife was watching the 20-year Harry Potter movies reunion or whatever on HBO Max yesterday and it was cute enough. Also any time JK Rowling was on screen they threw up a big "hey we filmed this interview in 2019 before she had completely shown her rear end, don't worry guys" graphic lol

^^Big same, I was profoundly uncomfortable for basically the entire movie.

I have tomorrow off in observance of New Year's Day but my wife doesn't, time for the "just sit around and play video games" day I've been craving all break. Not that it hasn't been enjoyable without such a day!

I just finished Don't Look Up and while there's a lot of hate, I think it's a really entertaining watch and I enjoyed it more than just about any other apocalypse movie out there.

I can't remember if I posted this in last year's thread but I'm having a hard time separating my thoughts on the movie from my thoughts on social/political satire in the present day in general. There's stuff in there to like and appreciate but man it felt like a really straight putt all throughout. But among people I've talked to I seem to be in the minority there so maybe I am just brain-poisoned.

Regular or Extended Editions?

Last time I marathoned the Extended, I did one disc a day for six days. I also have the Trivial Pursuit: Lord Of The Rings edition (based on the movies), but I haven't found anyone to play it with yet.

HBO Max has both the regulars and extendeds for streaming. The missus and I chipped away at them all last week, I still love those movies but for the most part they were right to keep the extended scenes out of the theatrical release.

And yes I have that same version of Trivial Pursuit and I can't get anyone to play it with me either lol. I think I went against a couple of my family members once and absolutely rolled them, which is probably why :v:

A few of the modifiers are free rolls or free rolls with certain weapons, but never ever take the Trap modifier. The last area will wreck you, and if it doesn't then one of the end-run boss's attacks counts as a trap and will wreck (the jars that turn into spooky hands when they break)

what does TFF think of Ruth Bader Ginsburg now that it's been a while?

love her because of her long history of leading the way, decisions, personality, etc.?

or hate her because of the way she went out on the court?

Did a lot for women's rights and for female representation in the legal/judiciary system, then jeopardized all of it out of hubris.

Myst. I wonder how that game holds up.

It's good OP. Pretty short now but I feel like that game is vastly underrated in the pantheon of ~influential video games~. Also the entire thing was programmed in Hypercard, which was basically early Powerpoint.

Those same dudes got back together a few years ago and put out a game called Obduction, which has a really similar feeling. Played part of it and liked it but got pulled away by other stuff before finishing it.

Ornery, thank you for checking in. We are doing okay, riding it out in the house and hoping my wife can land a job by summer. Her citizenship interview is coming next week which will help out a lot if she passes. This civics exam has some tough questions, like knowing who the authors of the Federalist papers are.

lol really

If I remember correctly from when my wife got her citizenship they pick three questions at random from a set of 50, and most of them are total meatballs. I remember she had some sort of cheat sheet recording that she found on YouTube or downloaded that helped her memorize the answers, I'll ask her if she still remembers it.

If enough Trump voters were dying to make a dent in the national voterbase, Trump probably wouldn't be the only person in the GOP calling on people to get vaccinated. Honestly for as fun as it is to speculate about US politics on the internet, there's too many different forces at play to say anything for certain right now. For every conversation about GOP voter die-off, you have GOP state legislatures trying to make it illegal to vote Dem or whatever. The only certainty is that it's going to be a complete shitshow.
