~~Yeah but 80% of peak low tide seems weird. The less low tide you get means the higher the tide?~~

Nevermind I looked closer and it's clearly labeled 'hours' so it's more of a countdown than a percentage, which makes total sense.

I agree, I haven't really bothered with competitive multi-player since I tried rocket league.

"There's no way a fun little game about cars playing football could get toxic", I thought to myself. Oh, how wrong I was!

Journey (2012) was beautiful from start to finish. There's an elegance to it, the separate parts (visuals, music, interface, multi-player etc) all work together so well and the sum is just breathtaking.

Death Stranding (2019) is far from perfect but very occasionally the environment, music and game play would all click and there are these moments of isolated, yearning beauty that I really loved.

I watched the Atom Eve origin story mini series they pit out earlier this year (?), I really enjoyed it and thought the quality was up there with Invincible so I'm pretty excited about season 2.

Every scene with the grandfather is gold! (played by the same guy who played Bariston Selmy in Game of Thrones!)

Good call!

Also using the opening scene as a trailer is such a classy move.

From what I know the batteries you need to store your own electricity at home are crazy expensive

Fun fact the book is not just about unemployment, the protagonist works for a time as a dishwasher in some Paris hotel kitchens!

The great Anthony Bourdain praised this book for its depictions of the lifestyle of kitchen workers in the 1920s, pointing out that many of Orwells observations are still relevant today.
