My fiancé and I really like to play the Pokémon Stadium mini-games regularly. It’s like Pokémon Mario Party!

Princess Mononoke (4K IMAX) 4.5/5: This movie is so great and this was a beautiful restoration. What an experience

The Saint 2/5: Watched this in honor of Val Kilmer’s passing. In hindsight there may have been better choices, it really gives “Mission Impossible at home”

The Luckiest Man in America 3.5/5: I thought this was alright, I kinda wish it had gone more into how Micheal actually beat the system. It also got a little loose with the facts but whatever

Drop 1/5: This shit sucked. I saw it for Mystery Movie Monday and was initially confused why someone brought a toddler to an R rated screening. Nope, this is PG-13. This woman is the worst fucking date of all time, the waiter is an improv comedian, and the plot is nonsensical. Also the title sucks, the “Drop” basically doesn’t matter for the whole movie

Me firing up old Konosuba episodes

This is just swashbuckling in general. The sword fight between Inigo and The Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride is a good example

Same vibe as this Weird Al song

The Final Fantasy pixel remasters are all old school turn based RPGs that can be played one handed on the steam deck. Certainly not all 50 games but UFO 50 has a bunch of games made for a non-existent console that are all pretty simple and I would bet a lot of them can be played one handed. Both Crypt of the Necrodancer and Cadence of Hyrule are rhythm dungeon delver games that probably work one handed too, technically so would the new game Rift of the Necrodancer but that requires more skill than I have

Oh, and for the RPG fan Disco Elysium is almost certainly up his alley and perfect for one handed play

Because Marvel is a franchise machine. You don’t want to be cast as an Eternal if the movie sucks and the Eternals are never heard from again. Who knew who the Guardians of the Galaxy were? It makes sense if you’re holding out for a bigger role

They finally added Hexblade! Now I’m tempted to do a Hexadin cheese run

An off label use for Trazadone is as a sleep aid. At doses under 150 mg it doesn’t really work as an antidepressant but will make you drowsy. I’ve been prescribed it before as the first step before Ambien

Not to immediately call you out but yes they did: https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/mike-johnson-shutdown-avoided-schumer-trump-rcna196546

Also the problem we have is that Republicans are just straight up ignoring laws. Why would shutting the government do anything different? You seem to assume decorum and laws matter and all evidence says otherwise

1. It doesn’t matter what they do, Republicans will always blame Democrats for everything. They blame Democrats for the results of Republican policy, so why are you concerned about a blame game?

2. Republicans have control of every part of the federal government, The House, Senate, Presidency, and Supreme Court. As long as Democrats just vote no and don’t impede legislation (which they should also do, but I digress), their messaging should be “look how fucking incompetent your leadership is. They have every tool at their disposal and still can’t run a government effectively.” Why is it the Democrats job to assist them? It’s not like Republicans would do the same

I know the answer is that Democrats exist to placate people while Republicans continue enriching the wealthy but man it’d be nice if they grew a fucking spine

This is classic America. I don’t have evidence for this but I have to assume that a large part of why America is having a egg crisis and other nations aren’t is because of the absolutely horrendous and unsanitary conditions of our factory farms. Rather than look around the world and see that better living conditions contribute to a higher quality product, better lives for the animals, and lowered risk of massive disease outbreaks (which could become a human pandemic by the way); we’d rather ship in perishable goods from countries who have already figured that out. Our insane thirst for quarterly earnings reports prevents us from even considering something that would be a long term sustainable solution because it would be ever so slightly more expensive up front

I would say meditation could be helpful. Being present in the moment instead of looking forward prevents that creeping dread. Likewise planning things you want to do like hanging out with friends, going to shows/movies, and group activities will probably have you focused on those on those instead of starting your week

I generally believe most movies should be shorter and that there’s a lot of room for addition by subtraction. That said, if a movie earns its runtime then I don’t think there’s an upper limit to how long it can be. Lawrence of Arabia is 3 hours and 45 minutes and it’s incredible, I don’t think I’d cut anything in it besides the long black intro screen which is a relic of its time. I would say justifying that run time gets exponentially harder past a certain point.

With Way of Water sitting at 3 hours and 12 minutes I do think Avatar 3 needs an intermission if it’s going to be longer. Asking people to sit and be fully engaged for 3 and a half hours is a big ask and having a chance to go to the bathroom, get snacks, stretch your legs, etc is needed for something that massive

As an mtg player these parodies are referenced enough that I think of them instead of the originals:

I’ve played everything

Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar

A pre-built tower with a disk drive and windows 7. I think you better call the Loch Ness Monster cuz you’re only getting about three fitty for that

More accurately the waterfall mission ends up on Phobos only to have to scramble to figure out how to land on Titan because the customer can’t tell the difference between moons

How would you federate something ephemeral? I’ll admit I don’t understand the specific techinals of federation but what stops another platform from hosting your content locally after it has supposed to have been deleted? It seems like the two goals of the platforms are diametrically opposed

Or maybe we don’t have to antagonize people who are trying to enjoy themselves?

A firearm, easily. I’ve fired both and bows require much more strength even if it’s a compound bow. On top of that aiming an arrow is much less intuitive than using even iron sights on a gun. Not to mention you can get rounds off much faster on a bolt action gun than a bow. Additionally I think you’re probably more likely to hurt yourself with a bow by smacking your arm than with a gun, assuming you get basic training for both
