exactly, I’m aware of anime films for teens, and way more for adults, but not so much with the kids. The thing with Ghibli is how they are more universally, and safely kids films, even if more for older kids, like Mononoke/Spirited.

I watched it when I had a 2 year old daughter, and wept and wept. And wept some more. Holy crap what a goddamn sad-ass movie.

I’d say Spirited Away is a great movie for 10-an-ups (or desensitized 7's)

I’m psyched the oscars are over - quite tired of seeing Matt Damon’s sliced ham face.

Yeah it’s not great, and it does a cheesy thing where it just stops, when clearly it’s not over. Dude, this ain’t the soprano’s finale.

TN: I said, “I want more diversity.” And they said, “But this is what we’re getting.” So I said, “Then I will go out and look for it in the street.”

Ha - Crapple. I use that - mainly to piss my gf off - she insists Apple is just better. I’m like “at what? All you do on your macbook is facebook and netflix - I have an ancient laptop in the basement that would run those just fine - and it’s not missing keys, and the headphone jack isn’t wobbly”

As learning creatures, we use trial and error to determine our way to a solution, whether that’s printing a crappy word doc, installing updated graphics drivers, or turning the pc into wifi hotspot. For some, it’s “Look at the help file” or “google the error message”. For others, they’ve learned that solution to every…

...which was only a minor revision of the dorothy hammill hairdo from a few years earlier

Whatever you say. Another simple vag ring (the Nuvaring) was supposed to keep my gf from getting pregnant.

But is she the quitzzach hadderach. Or the shadrach mesach abedinago.

Tokyo’s urban design is sublime (the parks, public spaces, public transit). The vast majority of buildings themselves are “eh”, though there are some gems here and there: like this weird little guy near where I stayed a year ago:

To be fair to Denver, the architecture and skyline are genuinely attractive. Japan’s urban architecture is famously boxy and uninteresting. It’s the street-level craziness that elevates Japan, not its towers.

exactly - the courts didn’t fail her, though maybe somehow “we” did? I’m trying to think how I, or maybe Ms Davies failed her. Maybe it’ll dawn on me tomorrow.

You could not copy DC games. You had to download a scene release (before the boon of piratebay, megaupload etc), and use a very specific burning software.

Agreed - sure - DC piracy didn’t require chipping or modding to play burned games, but it’s not like the postman gave you a free game every day, you had to work a little for it, which gates out most console folks.

I bet a reinstall would do it though. You’ll still have steam’s drm getting your personal back.

I too wish demos were still a thing, but I get why they’re not. And there’re plenty of resources to help you decide whether a game is worth your money. Plus there’s simple waiting. Eventually just about all PC games become discounted to lunch money. As in office cafeteria lunch money.

That’s what’s so crazy - this game is basically the exact same game, except much better in nearly every way. Maybe my thing is that I never really sought Bethesda games for Bethesda’s story - I more more interested in making my own story, in which I flit in and out of the various dramas of the world, but mainly am all…

...Bethesda streamlined the game to appeal to a wider audience, but in doing that they kinda lost what made the FO games appealing.
