Where is that mentioned? I don’t remember it from the books.

And it was made just for me :)

It was basically the first of HBO’s narratively complex, multi-season, ensemble cast, adult shows. Its success paved the way for shows like The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, and Game of Thrones which were all massively influential in their own right.

• Lost
• The Sopranos
• The Simpsons

Smart Audiobook Player +1 such a good, feature complete app.

What use is grief to a horse?

Really? I’m super curious what made you feel this way. I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by it compared to Flanagan’s other series’.

100% agree with you. Loved the first half and was really let down by the 2nd.

The only other show that’s given me similar vibes to the 1st half of Frieren was Violet Evergarden. Not so much for the content but in the melancholic, beautiful-yet-bittersweet vibes the whole show gives off.

I think that show greatly benefitted from the limited runtime though and would have suffered if they’d tried to push it out to Frieren length.

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.

They had this at the screening I went to. I wonder what they’ll do for the home release version?

I saw it hoping this was the case, but sadly it’s just not very good. I loved the visuals, the ambition, and his commitment to try and breakout of traditional storytelling methods, but the ham-fisted handling of the subject matter really ruined it for me. By all means see it for yourself and be your own judge but I wouldn’t go in expecting an underrated masterpiece.

We’ve been using QGIS at my company for almost 8 years at this point and I really love it. The python integration and deep plugin repository render it head and shoulders above ESRI. Although I admit for enterprise solutions many will still require the turn-key solutions esri offer.

I completely agree, and in general working with email programmatically sucks. MIME is a mimefield.

We unironically do this with people looking to get temporary working visas in Australia. It’s wild.

I think there is a stark distinction between “really fun” and “one of the best games ever”. This list contains almost nothing which pushed against the barriers of gaming either now or in the past.

Some really weird picks here. A few standout bad takes:

• Diablo 4
• Football Manager
• AC Odyssey
• Mario Kart 8

I’ve had more than one person I work with take screenshots of their desktop, paste them into a word document, then attach the word document to an email to get me to help them with their problem. This has the same energy.

I agree but my friends keep facilitating my addiction because I always give loaves away and now they’ve stopped buying bread too. Help 😭

Water security is a real issue though. Coober Pedy relies on water being trucked in from the coast which is only viable there because of the wealth extraction from the opal trade.

In many outback towns there are legitimate questions around long-term viability due to increasing water scarcity. I agree that humans are resilient and resourceful, but there is much more to existing under a warming climate than escaping the midday sun.
