All movies can be werewolf movies if they take place during other phases of the moon and their lycanthropy just doesn't come up in the plot

Every year or two someone "unmasks" Banksy and they name the same guy and then everyone collectively shrugs.

Everyone knows. It's some bloke. Not some supernaturnal painter-geist. Just some bloke.

Just like Daft Punk was two French musicians of some sort, that have names that most people don't care to know.

The anonymity was never really as interesting as the spontaneity. So what is the payoff here?

“me, lightly touching miette with the side of my foot: miette move out of the way please so I don’t trip on you miette, her eyes enormous: you KICK miette? you kick her body like the football? oh! oh! jail for mother! jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!”

15YO was complaining about age verification, Face ID, and TikTok. My response, only somewhat more unhinged, is that TikTok is an inherently untrustworthy platform and it’s not worth using at all.

He looked at me like I was explaining how TikTok was operating in conjunction with the saucer people, under supervision of the reverse vampires.

“But… but… it’s true,” I continue to insist.

We’re living in openly barmy times.

@oopsallnaps I ended up buying Esoteric Ebb. Now all I have to do is figure out how to stop dying. There's a life lesson in there somewhere.

@GrumpusNation @haggersnash I haven't read Vineland but I can imagine what it's like. Probably even more bonkers, for a start.

Maybe part of it is that looking back and poking fun at exaggerated versions of the 1960s to 1980s is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than trying to do the same with the present day.

@haggersnash We watched it over two days, and I think we only bothered with the second half because I’m such a completionist. Even though I was the only one in the family that openly complained about it.

Just seemed like a painfully slow, shallow take on the whole farcical “everyone is violently incompetent in their own way” thing.

The Esoteric Ebb demo was only labelled for Windows but I downloaded it and tried it out anyway. Why not? I’m a rebel. I paint outside the lines.

Well, it works absolutely fine on Linux. I didn’t actually expect that at all. I trusted Steam.

Not very far into it yet but the game seems great. It doesn’t hide that it’s heavily influenced by Disco Elysium. It does it well, though it has a much lighter tone than Disco. So far.
