Yep, stuck at the airport currently. All flights grounded. All major grocery store chains and banks also impacted. Bad day to be a crowdstrike employee!

Haha, I have no idea why it is so unheard of. Absolutely floored me the first time I saw it years ago and I've come back to it at various times in my life and gotten different things out of it each time. Such a gem of a film.

Haven't seen The Best of Youth but I'll put it on my list right next to Satantango 😉.

A few I don't see getting mentioned much:

• 3-Iron
• The Seventh Continent
• Hausu
• The Lives of Others
• Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
• Spoorloos

Hell yeah! Ritual by him is also wonderful.

Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!

TLJ is in my top 3 stories in all of gaming but the puzzles/gameplay are pretty terrible. I'd still highly recommend grabbing it for a few bucks on GOG and playing it with a walkthrough - the story is absolutely worth it.

I liked dreamfall as well but the story wasn't as impactful to me. I actually backed chapters on kickstarter but never finished it. How are you enjoying it so far?

Very US centric take. I'd be curious to see how Dubai or Singapore stack up in terms of energy consumption per capita compared to large cold-climate cities. Everything is air conditioned and there is so much enclosed space because being outside sucks so bad.

This one is good but Hungry Cat Nonograms is the best mobile picross game imo. Thousands of puzzles, amazing controls, beautiful art. It has ads which can be removed with a single in-app purchase. Been playing for almost 8 years and they're still releasing weekly content.

I was also in this position, there is so much gaming content out there but the whole state of journalism seems to have really fallen off.

Last year I discovered MinnMax though and some of my faith has been restored. They are a community funded group of journalists and enthusiasts who run a weekly ~3 hour podcast about games and the industry. They are mature, lucid, insightful, and also pretty funny. They've also been doing a yearly best-of list for a long time which is a good jumping off point if you want to dip your toe in. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in gaming and the industry.

That was a super interesting read - thanks for the writeup!

Believe it or not, also the sun!

Climbing usually builds strength and helps to reduce chance of repetitive strain injuries. Finger injuries, however, are super common but fortunately don't typically hinder typing.

I exclusively use phones with a 3.5mm jack. Currently on a Sony Xperia 1 IV. That said, I also use bluetooth IEMs sometimes and I like having the option of switching between wired/wireless when convenient.

Or Worship Him which is by far their best work.

Thanks for this. I was going to comment that corruption charges in India must either be punitive or politically motivated because it's literally everywhere. I don't think India in its current state would function without corruption.

I get this reference

I also do this and am also ostracized and condemned by passengers for my behavior. Worth it.

Violin plots are bad and you should feel bad. Summary of why: Link
