I used to watch all the apocalypse TV and films (like the walking dead) where the CDC was ineffective and the US ended up ruining the world.

I understand how now.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Legacy was such a good film, very underrated.

I don’t need a deep plot for a Tron film, none of them really had. Just want some action.

So long as none of those Disney moments that make you cringe im probably going to be happy.

I mostly ignore reviews, I like cult films mostly

I want to see it, but I’m a little worried it’s been ruined by modern Disney after what they did with Star Wars, Indiana Jones and to an extent Marvel.

That kind of looks almost identical to some of the scenery near me. I think it's the dark green of the grass.

Still the best aspect ratio.

I think only once though? My wife got her leave to remain at 5 years IIRC.

Controversial, but there ain't nobody going to want to go to a "barcade" with pride flags and vegan food as it screams "full of extremely tedious, socially awkward people who don't go outside very often".

Not really the makings of a lively hangout/pub.

I paid £20 for my 19” from one of those trade in shops.

That’s about as much as I’m willing to spend on “retro” stuff!

My TV was £2K but it’s utterly amazing quality.

Raytracing you say...interesting. I might have a go at some point updating my martian landscape code to use it instead of voxelspace rendering. Could be fun!

Sounds a bit like the one I have which has everything on the back. Good for connecting anything and everything to.

The main TVs only have HDMI I think.
