Does anyone else think this behind-the-scenes shot from Blade Runner looks like Rutger Hauer is hosting an episode of Dystopian Pointless

Just out of Wake Up Dead Man. Loved it. Felt a lot more like Knives Out 1, but also unique and surprising in its own way.
Kept me guessing right until the end, which is all I want from a good whodunnit.

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

I love how the Hitman games go out of their way to point out that your targets are all morally terrible people to settle the player’s conscience, then for the DLC they’re now just like “F*ck it, let’s kill Eminem”

Of all the absurd ways of assassinating your targets in Hitman, a distinct omission from my bingo card was “put on a scarecrow costume and magically incinerate anyone within 20 feet of you in a deranged homage to 1973’s The Wicker Man”.

11 days ago, I turned 37.
10,000 days before that (exactly), I watched Scotland play their last match in a men’s World Cup.

I was 15 the last time Scotland was in a World Cup.
I'll be 43 the next time it happens.
I'm floods of tears. I'm so happy

Yep, why not score a goal from your own half in the 98th minute?

Finally playing the new Hitman trilogy and it’s a rollercoaster of emotions.
Level set in England has left-hand-drive cars:
“0/10 what the hell is this”
Assassinate a dictator by dropping a toilet on his head:
“10/10 best game ever”
