The Casablanca Extended Universe. What happened to Rick after the war? might go a little something like…(typing a prompt into Sora to steal scenes from To Have and Have Not and In A Lonely Place)
The opening of this email from Netflix about their acquisition of Warner Brothers does not have me feeling super-confident about how they will treat the classic film archive now in their care. "Franchises" like ... Casablanca? Which is the single classic movie mentioned in a list of TV shows & IP?

If you don’t have a physical copy of the Sopranos and whatever else Netflix just bought, this might be your last chance

It really feels like Datacenter bros are trying very hard to destroy everything I love. Starting to think it’s personal.

Except for Illit and Expedition 33 this could’ve been any random year in the past 15 years.

Spent a crazy amount on something I’ve wanted basically forever. Hard drives won’t be here for a few weeks tho, I went with 20 TB drives

I spent the holiday playing Blue Prince on my Steam Deck, this game is amazing. It is the puzzle game I always wished Myst was.

Currently playing Seance at Blake Manor. If you like Agatha Christie novels and dark mysticism you’ll love this one. I’m there for just about any mystery set in a hotel.

Played through all of Dispatch in one day (today)
It was superb. Very funny and stirring
Only criticism is the ending felt video game-y, very different from the rest.
My MVP every episode was Prism

I’d love to talk to someone who knows the legal side of proton. How susceptible is it to fuckery if Microsoft decides to go scorched earth?

For my part building a NAS and a computer that will play Witcher 4 is a bigger concern than a living room PC, but I will be mightily tempted if the price is good

Looking at the Steam Machine specs it’s pretty smart they are targeting 99.9% of what will be coming out on Steam rather than one that will play Witcher 4 at 4k 120hz. No Steam Deck refresh means there’s only two Valve configs to target on the lower end, a boon for anyone with a weak gaming laptop

It’s pretty cool you can buy games one time and have them all available for decades across countless iterations of hardware and OS. Probably would’ve given up the hobby by now if not for that

Steam Frame is interesting but no top strap, no audio are weird choices considering Valve’s long history with VR and the lack of lighthouse tracking option (though maybe their camera tracking is almost as good now?)

History freaks alert: there’s a new Fall of Civilizations podcast out about Persia. Over 5 hours long

YouTube is also wall to wall AI ads for financial fraud and snake oil scams
(Reuters) - Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

100% Hades 2!
Finally got a good roll on Chaos in Hell with Aspect of Circe bit of a cakewalk honestly

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

I’m really struggling with the last Hades 2 achievement “Chaos in Hell” every time I get a really crazy roll on the 20 fear oath or if I happen to get a good roll all I get are common boons and can’t do anything against the vow of rivals.
