Ah yes decaffeinated coffee ads this is something I rarely see now. Very much a pre-90s thing. Well that and Apple IIc’s. No ads for them now.

If you’re one of a handful of cons sure I guess. But. Most aren’t unless we’re counting prize support via emailing companies and saying ‘hey would you like to help us 🥹?’

I skimmed the article but got curious. I don't believe this author has much life experience.

I just can't wrap my head around this magnetic tape nostalgia (cassette, VHS, etc) they jam, degrade, and shred. Vinyl and CDs totally get.
It always feels like the people talking about the magnetic tape only heard about them but never used it regularly to experience the downsides.

Huh, not often a panel reminds me I actually need to make a will but thanks.

I was reading a Wikipedia article on devils yesterday (as normal people do), and it was oddly striking it's something around 58% (news.gallup.com/poll/508886/...) of the people surveyed do believe in the devil. I would have figured 30%

That's good. I can't think of any series I've seen six times. Nadesico may come the closest to the criteria but only maybe 5 times at most.

What even constitutes a watch in this case? Full series, six times if a movie, six episodes?

Really only have Bad Religion since I kind of have always lived 3+ hours from most venues. Maybe if I can get back to see TMBG without having the flu I can expand my list lol.

I probably could have put various games, books, etc here but I wanted some weird stuff. I also could have put magic tricks because they're so fascinating to me how to develop and perfect.

This show is bad, do not watch. Every time it explores an interesting concept it goes off the rails and fumbles the concept then stumbles into an interesting one then fucks it up. It's mood whiplash. If it'd been consistent it would have been a better show or an actual deconstruction. But...
