I have consumed several small glasses of wine and will now be watching the movie Dave (1993) if anyone needs me.

As Amazon loaded their smart displays with ads, a group of hardware hackers found a way to liberate a few early models, turning them into stripped-down, useful android displays. I now have performed four digital exorcisms. I spoke to the person behind the jailbreak via telegram for @aftermath.site

Only the ones where the train is coming right at you. Other ones are just about dudes getting off work at a factory

Oh! Well it's like a picture, but it moves and many of the newer ones have sound. I'm what we in the scene call "a fan" of them

It will probably not surprise you to learn that I recently discovered the existence of a mid-90s Australian boat cop TV show and am now somewhat obsessed with it youtu.be/YtY5-qNnVbM?...

And when you select the catalog option it's a single low res jpeg of all your childhood dogs. How did that get on there? The yellow lab you only fostered for a month. Did you even take pictures of that one?

The goofiest fucking dVD menu buttons on the planet.

If you see a DVD menu like this, you know you are about to watch a classic piece of cinematic history.

My favorite face/off fact (and I have a few) are that the magnetic prison boots were repurposed from the super mario bros movie. Which is also basically an anime

I have said this before, and I maintain its truth: a Face/Off anime would rip shit

This reminds me of what is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful charts in history, Charles Minard's 1869 visualization of Napoleon's invasion and retreat from Russia. Explanation in the alt text

Cast n Chill - Official Full Release Date Trailer YouTube video by GameTrailers

I got Cast n Chill on a lark to play with an online friend, and I'm delighted to report that it's a) one of the most beautifully rendered pixel games I've ever played and b) I think I'm into fishing now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzEk...

Genuinely one of the coolest ideas for a single player RPG in ages, and that's a genre where no one's phoning it in (pun somewhat intended)
