Game:
Last of Us II - coming out in 7 days. First "game" (it's so much more than a game), was stunning and disturbing in equal parts. It blew away expectations of what a game experience can be.

Anyway, The Last Of Us was the last game hubby actually played. He doesn't bother with the time sink now, he just watches the play throughs on youtube.

But when he played it I made him call me over for all the story scenes so I could watch too. I'm sure we'll watch the play through together.

It was a pretty cool game.

I came real close to NOT buying this game. I watched LoU 1 on YouTube AND played it - both were great. I'm not a *gamer* so I just don't have those fast twitch gamer responses like people who go 12 hours at a time. IOW I die a lot, and that can be really frustrating and controllers aren't cheap.
I watched Frankieonpc do Last Of Us on Youtube

Older, English dude, so no wacky young teen or painfully immature comments - definitely a more adult review of the story and the play. I hope he does this one too.

Almost forgot about The Fireflies - funny.

Been trying to come up with something cool and obscure to do. I always like to do something like that to all our cars. With Big Man Hubby driving it lets police know who it is and he gets pulled over less.

Glad you said something.

It was a transport ship bound for Mars that had to jettison its engines but because they were at full speed they just kept going...

I was kind of haunted by it for a few days. The ship used algae for oxygen, and when the food ran out they started processing it for food. As in, that's all they lived on... Eventually half the crew and passengers committed suicide, and the whole time they were telling people that they were going to find a planet and do a gravity slingshot and head back...

The movie ends with the ship passing a planet...24,000 years later, as a ghost ship. There are some other interesting odd bits about an A.I. that commits suicide, and how most of the people that survived went blind anyway. It's a fascinating downward spiral.

Well done and acted (her bunkmate was a hoot, and her partner was also impressive) and the concept was very cool. Of course, I (all of us?) knew exactly what was going to happen to Aniara. Humanity's slow death by it's own hands/dumb-assery? Gee, sounds familiar doesn't it?

His most famous work, ANIARA: A REVIEW OF MAN IN TIME AND SPACE (1956), is an epic poetic cycle that relates the story of a luxurious space ship, loaded with 8,000 evacuees, fleeing an Earth made uninhabitable by human technological arrogance. A malfunction knocks the craft off course, taking these would-be Mars colonists on an irreversible journey into deep space and an existential struggle. Theodore Sturgeon declared that the poem achieved "an inexpressible, immeasurable sadness. [It] transcends panic and terror and even despair [and] leaves you in the quiet immensities, with the feeling that you have spent time, and have been permanently tinted, by and with an impersonal larger-than-God force." It has been translated into many languages, adapted into a popular avant-garde opera, and made into a 2018 Swedish feature film.

Also looked like a dude to Sony, which is why it was uncensored sex.

Sony makes a point of censoring out boobs in all of their games when they come to the US. All of them.

Except for that dude's flat chest.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

LOL. You keep saying your life is FANTASTIC but no one here has seen ANY evidence you do ANYTHING.

Yanno, flies buzz around a sewer all day, sure seems you have plenty in common with them, but no one believes your life is fantastic.

Plenty of evidence it's pathetic and always will be!

No. Not every single adult knows how to....blah blah blah.

I got a dipshit and his wife living a door

I warned him about it last year. He told me something like "yeah.

I also told the young couple I like next door to me last year about squirrel holes of ignorance. I'm trying to warn other people in the area ahead of time,

I didn't have the heart to tell her that it's all coming her way soon too because they don't do anything to fix small problems when they pop up.

I've told them for three years now that they need to be spraying for ants diligently, but that gets ignored as well.

And I really hope that they're ready to spend a lot of it when all of the neglect I've witnessed comes home to roost.

Otherwise, they're going to walk away and I'm going to be stuck trying to sell a home with 3 dilapidated houses in the vicinity.

They better hope that they fall into Karen's and Nilbog's "ALL ADULTS" category and actually know how to fix the major structural issues that their neglect have caused, otherwise money is going to be extremely tight for quite a while after getting it all professionally fixed.

... none of these people have alcohol or drug dependency issues (yet) and when this "bad luck" starts happening to them I'm going to have to really temper the urge to say "I told you so", because I know from a lifetime of experience that nobody likes being kicked when they're down.
