Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
At one point I had all three endings memorized…
For extra hard mode I left off anime as well, otherwise Akira, GitS and Macross Plus could all easily be there.

My only real complaint(?) would be an early bit of dialogue in the game has me wanting to try and remember next time I pop into a @caseyexplosion.bsky.social stream to ask if "amn't", as in the contraction of "am not" is really a thing, which seems parasocially imposing to my should-be-asleep self.

My frustration at this dice set featuring Futura Bold—one of my favourite typefaces—being locked into a pricey stationary bundle grows the more I ponder it.

The best follow-up to the original movie was Tron 2.0, the peak of Monolith entertaining jank. Far better than Legacy for my money…

So as much as the anti-capitalist in me hates to put corporate advertising out there—not mentioning names though, because fuck that—this late 70's/early 80's coded "polaroid" that's on one of the beer packages at work is kinda vibes.

I mean, of *course* the psuedo-yuri science anime about mineralogy has to have a hot springs episode—all while passing the Bechdel test with flying colours…

Love it, and gives me inspiration for a Tod kitbash I now want to do to add to the Turnip28 ranks.

In lighter news, the weird parasocial part of me really wants to make sure that @etvpod.bsky.social knows that this exists in the world.

From the Department of Old Habits Die Hard, Poverty Brain Division:
So for a variety of reasons I spent most of my thirties riding a sequence of increasingly frankensteined bikes to commute. Seeing this seatless, abandoned bike at work brought back all the scavenger thoughts to the surface again.

That is *indeed* hideous, but at least I can imagine pouring it into a glass without spilling, unlike this ridiculous "bottle", which not only reminds me of the old Avon perfume bottles my mother had, while costing $300 at the same time.

OK, seriously, how hard is this to get right? The number of games I've played where this shit is bass-ackwards as default—kudos to Skin Deep for getting the basics right. Oh, and for generally being a damned amusing game from what I've played so far…
