Oh! Donnie Darko at the Shattuck Theater with a group of college friends. Afterwards we went to the Baja Fresh across the street for late night quesadillas and sat in there for an hour arguing over what in the hell we'd just watched. (The later director's cut would have spoiled all that.)

Another one: seeing The Sixth Sense on opening night. The whole theater was really into it, shrieking at the spooky jumpscares and gasping in disbelief at the big twist, which nobody had had spoiled for them because this was four years before social media existed.

When I was a sophomore in college I got roped into a Rocky Horror midnight showing with a group of strangers in a strange city (St Louis) over winter break. Had never seen the movie, was not forewarned about the audience participation aspect. What an amazing gift that was.

I would not have been able to buy a house if not for the 2007 crash. It wasn't a matter of anticipating it; I had simply been saving money my entire working life hoping (against all reason) it would someday be enough for a down payment, and when the crash hit, it was suddenly enough.

Ask them their preferred pronouns. If they answer instead of pitching a big tantrum they're probably fine.

Same exact vibe, but I'd bet it's injections rather than a more traditional skin care regimen.

My first thought exactly. For Meta and many others.

I'd bet money those things carry the exact same frozen White Castle burgers that are sold at many supermarkets. To anyone who has never tried them, I'm here to tell you that you won't believe a burger that's fresh out of your microwave could taste that good.

Our game was run a little differently from what's in that review (no cameras, as far as we knew), but the core concept of "the players decide who dies next, the GMs decide which players decide" was the same and facilitated some really amazing roleplay between friends and strangers alike.

My favorite LARP experience ever was "The Prison," GMed by the dynamic duo of @colinaut.bsky.social and @jmstar.bsky.social at @bigbadcon.bsky.social some many years ago. I'm trying to find a written ruleset and the best I've found so far is this review: playtestgalway.wordpress.com/2016/04/05/t...
Review: The Prison
Our Vaticon run of The Prison was feely, gamey, and offered some interesting insights into the many ways to tweak a game.

If you pay premiums your whole life and then the company lets you die the first time you get sick, it's pure profit, baby!

This video stirred some ancient childhood memory -- I'm almost positive my grandparents had a tunnel book like this (probably not this exact one) that I marveled at when I was little. I wonder if my dad still has it.

Welp, gotta have the mortality talk with my two year old sometime before our next Academy visit. She sleeps with a Claude plushie every night.

I'm old enough to remember when a lot of people lost their jobs for not even *condoning* but *failing to adequately condemn* political violence.

Definitely one of those games I will buy just to see what choices they made in adapting the material. I remember thinking when I read the books (long ago) that it felt like an incredible setting for a TTRPG but how would it *work*, mechanically speaking?

Surely they mean to ask "is Oakland the old San Francisco?"
If you put it to them like that, you can make a discreet exit while they try to puzzle it out.

I would pay real money to see him take a standard IQ test, and then have it graded and the score announced, all live on camera. Can you imagine the sweaty desperation when he realizes some of the questions are harder than "point at the bird" but it's too late to back out now?

After all, there are PLENTY of data points out there on people who were negative or even just "meh" on having kids and did not really change their minds later. As a new parent I was quietly horrified by how much unsolicited parental advice came from a place of "mitigate the awfulness." 2/2
