One of the early levels of AvP had you walking around in a dark ship as a space marine and you are just waiting for the alien to appear with lots of little noises and steam. It’s really suspenseful and intense and playing it in the dark will freak you out (in a great way).

Great stuff as usual.

We are on the verge of cooler weather and I’ve been ramping up the bean soups over rice. I make a bag of rice (tend to rotate between a few types like brown and jasmine) in the instant pot, then just rinse it out and immediately make the soup in the instant pot.  If I’m doing something that…

Is the airboat thing an issue?  Seems like that was causing problems for lots of people back when it came out.

Grocery stores provide a service because they are more conveniently located than the farm the food comes from, especially in this day and age.  Of course if I want to buy an apple and decide it’s worth it to drive to the farm to get it the grocery stores didn’t lobby law makers to make that illegal.

You might want to read about the McDonald’s coffee case before using it as an example here.

Beans and rice?

There is a full time coop mod (seamless coop) and it’s great.  It starts a new game so it doesn’t mess with your save and just running through it with my kid (they’re old) and it is a blast.  Cannot recommend enough.

Speeding since the beginning of the pandemic:

This feels extremely minor compared to all of the other complaints but my 2017 GTI has a very loud beep when the temp hits 39f. I get that conditions can start changing at that temp but I think the snowflake popping up is enough.

We should probably not make all cars automatic then.

Hades is great and you should really try it if you haven’t.  I still pick it up and play regularly.

I’m just now seeing 3070s at less than retail on Newegg, and with the 4000 series is right around the corner I think everyone who is in the market will be able to get great deals by the end of this year.

Magnolia, Tropic Thunder, Collateral, and that’s just off the top of my head.

Maybe he was just confused since he has played the same character in multiple movies?

Jennifer Lawrence has multiple great performances in a at least a few really well made movies, the comparison is ridiculous.

The original Last House on the Left was more disturbing to me than Texas Chainsaw. It got pretty out there towards the end but the early/mid part of that movie really stick with you in a not great way. Seems very dirty and realistic to me.

As far as “movies you will only watch once” go I’d have to mention Requiem and…

I highly recommend Ride With GPS (ridewithgps.com) they have some sort of membership but it isn’t required.  Plus it’s really widely used so you can download routes other people have made.

Agreed, if I ate Chick-fil-a it would cost as much as I spend at Chipotle.  It’s more expensive than every other fast food place that features a chicken sandwich.

It’s so great to see Werewolves Within get a mention - just so much fun.

That SUV almost hit me when I passed it on the right, I should pass it on the right again!

This was helpful, and the whole thing makes more sense when you realize it's built into the car and not the regular android auto/carplay.
