Maybe I'm just getting old but the gameplay loop of Rockstar games has gotten tired. RDR2 was gorgeous but the mission formula was just so boring.

If I'm using the computer I'm in a program. If I'm not using it, it's asleep. Don't really get the point of anything other than solid black.

I don't understand why today's standards require background for everything. We don't get Ripley's backstory in Alien and it's not needed. Even in Aliens, we only get her backstory (her having/outliving a daughter) in service of the plot and themes.

I hate being forced to sympathize with characters because of their tragic backstory. Why not write a compelling character through their actions? Tight plots with no filler are where it's at for action movies.

Seriously. I only finished the main Book of the Fallen series this early this year and just can't get interested in anything else fantasy now.

It's one thing to make you feel something when a character you've been with for 10 books dies, but when an author can do the same with a character you're with for a handful of pages, it's something else.

!Abasard's death in Reaper's Gale still resonates with me. !<

The Goonies

I have a 2 year old who is obsessed with them. She loved the picture. We have to take a picture with one every time we go to the store.

My dad is a civil engineer though, so we're not a good test case.

I think it's technically supposed to be an acknowledgement that the message was received.

I've found All Dressed chips at Aldi in the US

Test?
