It's needlessly letterboxed and there's a typo in the feckin' title, but here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoqlYGuZGVM

Officially, aye, but this is piracy board. Fans have scanned the film itself and made it available illicitly. Project 4K77 looks fantastic, for example.

Another vote for Project4K77 (and 80, and 83). Watched the first film last week from it and it looked fantastic.

A VHS/DVD rip is rarely a "best bet". There are exceptions, of course, but for Star Wars? Nah.

There's a great deal of "I think you guys might care about this more than your audience does" to their more recent fare. I don't keep this stuff at the top of my mind, who are these characters again? I still don't know why the Hulk is always on now, and frankly I'm not interested in doing the homework to find out.

Gunpoint. Charming, atmospheric, doesn't outstay its welcome.

It'd be interesting to see a developer create a slightly prettier version of Vice City. I appreciate the visuals of the later GTA games but doing more with less seems like it'd make sense. The gap between these games is getting rather nuts.

Then again, "forever" games seem to print money, and that's more important than creative expression. As I get older I have a greater appreciation for games that don't try to outstay their welcome. GTA V seemed to struggle with this - on the one hand it was huge, on the other the story seemed to be about half the length it telegraphed itself as. What's the point in being able to level up the stats of heist crew if there's not enough for it to matter, etc..

(In my opinion, obviously) GTA IV was too long, San Andreas was a sprawling mess, but Vice City was the sweet spot.

I care about GTA but the online element of it is of zero interest to me, and it seems that's what it's become.

The world's relationship with Facebook has changed a smidge since 2013.

It's still ripe for parody, but the elements of relevance aren't the same as they were.

I wonder if the next one will take so long that the world it satirises is long gone. Facebook being parodied in GTA V no longer makes much sense, for example

I'm sure that'll increase market share.

You've got a friend in horse!

There is something deeply wrong with people who litter.

The call was coming from inside the house.

I don't hate it but it does occasionally feel like a burden. As in knowing that I could solve a problem that people are struggling with and whether it's ethical to not help because I don't feel like it.

Hating "knowing stuff" seems bizarre to me though. There's so many interesting things in our world - wanting to know less sounds awful. Like opting into a lobotomy.

So far I've mostly just aged. I'd like to be a good dad to my upcoming child.

I should probably add that I don't have a relevant degree and I've since been promoted, so it can go okay!

I got my first job in programming at 35 a few years back.

I wear a custom-fitted mask whenever I'm out in public so they can have fun with that.

What other plausible counter hypothesis is there?
