Yeah, I'm really enjoying this one, not just as a fan of the game (same as The Witcher series, where I'm not a big fan of the gameplay, but the story and environment completely overwhelm any qualms I may have), but a fan of post-apocalyptic drama in general. It's very well done in a way that my 45 y...

I've been playing with ChatGPT a lot. A LOT. I even paid for the plus version. I find it fascinating, both as an extremely useful tool and as a harbinger of things to come, constantly reminding me of R. Scott Bakker's Neuropath (thanks to Brinn for loaning it to me years ago) and the concept of the ...

Only read if you want my anti-wordle rant [spoiler]If there's one thing that makes me leave Facebook it's the sad truth that I can't block people's Wordle posts without blocking them, and at this point, I don't think they'll ever go away. Okok, fine, there are much worse things, but y'know... We've ...

No, not that Pantheon, this one . It's animated, apparently based off of the short stories of Ken Liu, who's been on my to read list for years. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it deserves it. It's very well written, especially if you're into themes like post-humanity, AI, etc., and doesn't use spectacl...

Congrats, Cord.

And that made me look at my own. 20 years?! Holy hell

30207. Confirmation bias says this a great test. Thanks, Av!

Check out Old Gods of Appalachia (and that's App-uh-latch-uh, if you were wondering). [imitating Steve's voice] You can also find them on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever else you get your podcasts. There are a couple of story lines (Build Mama a Coffin, Door Under the Floor, and Black Mouth Dog) y...

i haven't watched top chef You must! I mean, maybe not Season 1 (which was also a little rough) or the next few while they were still doing the whole reality show thing half the time, but everything else... It's probably in my top 5 favorite shows of all time. Also, in a perfect universe, Gail and ...

Yeah, they have a similar dry wit. Hopefully he doesn't get boring like Tim Minchin. I kid, I kid! I like Tim Minchin a lot, but I'm just not into him as as fairly routine singer/songwriter. Who knows, though, it could grow on me.

And if you made it through all those (prior to Viagra Boys) and maybe listened to a few others like it beside, the video for this song , that I just found is freaking hilarious. The bands parodied are: 1. Orville Peck 2. The Dead South 3. Reverend Payton's Big Damn Band 4. Days N Daze 5. Amigo the D...

And trust me on this. I know my people. If enough people check it out, it will be a thing here. Like Lost back in the day. Ah, good old Lurch

Anybody else listen to this podcast? I'm not a podcast or horror fan (especially eldritch, Lovecraftian horror), but this one grabbed me as soon as I heard about it. The fellowship hall on Facebook is also a great community, although even if it's never really talked about as a subject by itself in t...

Waiting to be stoned

That's a common misconception about heavy metal, that it has to be fast and loud. Usually, sure, but like listen to Black Sabbath's "Solitude." As for the bands I mentioned, if I made a playlist, it would look like this: Amigo the Devil Start with something fun, Murder at the Bingo Hall Ge...

I never met Cags in person, but we were friends on Facebook. I'm glad I got a chance to say goodbye to him and he to me, even if it was over Messenger

I've been to three concerts this year. The first was Amigo the Devil. I just moved my mom and brother to NC from NV this year, and my brother (40 to my 45 years old) had never been to a concert this year. They were opened for by IV and the Strange Band, whom I had never heard of before but loved. IV...

Wubba lubba dub dub! Pickle Rick! And all that jazz. I'm tempted to do a dissection-style breakdown of every episode and see who joins me. The main thing about the show, that I've never seen anyone talk about, is that it's existentialist humor. Existentialist. Humor. I can't think of anywhere else I...

That's a great question, HLT. I really liked the movie so was intrigued how the TV show would work. And I wasn't instantly enamored of it, despite Max Berry being in it (loved IT Crowd, though it took me an episode or two to warm up to the new Renholm). But I suppose it's the way they portrayed thes...

In no particular order Bad Sisters See (though Sibbith's voice has tested my patience so many times) Rick and Morty Chef vs Wild (bit of top chef, bit of Alone. Not quite as good as either) Ghosts (couldn't get into the UK version) Resident Alien For All Mankind (a bit heavy on the soap opera drama ...

Oh, and apparently a chemical called leichtin (sp?) helps the body metabolize THC, so using the product with something that incorporates eggs helps. With the above method and measurement and using Pillsbury brownie mix (2/3 cup of oil to most other brands' 1/4 to 1/2), it makes about 24 bite-sized b...
