How are you going to bring up early CR Matthew Mercer without his most infamous pronunciation gaffe?
Sigil* as “siggle”. If I were at that table, I’d still be ribbing him about it (good-naturedly, of course).

I don’t know if it would meet your “no kid’s movie” requirement, but Hocus Pocus has been in my spooky season rotation forever.
Also, it’s technically a musical I guess but the animated Legend of Sleepy Hollow narrated/sung by Bing Crosby is a classic.
Everything else on my list has already been mentioned, but I would be remiss not to mention one of my wife’s favorites, Corpse Bride. If you were already looking at Nightmare Before Christmas, I think you’ll enjoy it.
WRT Secret of Mana - maybe play the first little bit yourself until you unlock a second character, then save and you two can start from there. Trust me.
Also, I know it’s a side scroller, but Castle Crashers is great fun if you haven’t tried it yet.
Pretty much any of the SNES era arcade ports: TMNT, Knights of the Round, Sunset Riders… Though maybe not all of them in one sitting.
That’s all I’ve got off the top of my head. Happy gaming!
Whoops, your party put the meteors next to each other again. No prog for you this week!

+1 for Archinstall. I’m a Linux noob and getting everything set up was a cinch. Even had a spot to put in my address so I can get my first pair of thigh length striped socks from the AUR.
^that ^was ^a ^joke.
Bames Nond’s having a stronk, call a Bondulance.

Houston native spotted. I’m so sorry.
But this behaviour isn’t really new - I used to work at the Whole Foods on Kirby, which caught fire back in… god, 2012 or so? And someone drove up WHILE THE FIRE WAS STILL BLAZING, was informed that the store was closed, and legitimately responded, “But where am I gonna get my coconut water?”
They may be more mask-off about it now, but it’s always been a thing.
People aren’t using Boatlights-tan for desu memes anymore? I really have gotten old.
I feel this pretty acutely. But I’ve tried to change the way I approach it. When I randomly remember my cringe moments, and I start feeling like I’m going to be obsessing, I try to think about how I’d react if it was a friend of mine telling me about some stupid thing they did forever ago instead of me. That can be enough sometimes for me to stop and say (sometimes out loud, it helps) “That was forever ago and yeah, it was stupid, but you learned.” And it helps. I can’t always move past it, but it seems like it works more often than it doesn’t. If that makes sense.
Yeah, you did some stupid shit. But guess what! If you did it more than 7 years ago, biologically speaking you’re technically a whole-ass different person now. I don’t know if this will help anyone, but I hope it does.
Rock over London, Rock on Chicago!
Daisy for Kart. Daisy for Smash.
Hi, I’m Daisy.
(Jokes aside, probably the closest thing I have to a main in Smash is Hero)
To be fair,
How else would you portray Lust if not hyper-sexualized?
+1 for FMA: Brotherhood though, that shit slaps and given the above commenter’s statement I also think they’d like it
Deflection via humor would be my guess
FunkFPV, is that you?
Kidding. Sounds like you’re still mostly winning though, good on ya.
Fair enough. I think it’s safe to say that my reply was a little heated. You are, of course, correct. I will edit my comment.
I had to look that up, but you are correct. He said it while out promoting 2049. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
Of course they are! I never disagreed with that. They are “more human than human”. That’s not even a counter argument to what I said, which is “this one specific human, who has basically forgotten how to BE human, rediscovers the joy of humanity through his interactions with non-humans who are ironically more human than he is”.
DECKARD👏 IS👏 NOT👏A👏 REPLICANT👏
I will bang this gong 'til the day I die.
The whole point of the movie, besides the cyberpunk dystopia that it created and popularized, is that Deckard is a HUMAN who acts like a ROBOT. He has no joy, no purpose, no meaning. And he rediscovers all of that, ironically, from his interactions with replicants - Roy Batty and Rachael most of all. It’s the Sarah Connor, end of Terminator 2 thought that “if a machine - a Terminator - can learn the meaning of life, perhaps there’s hope for the rest of us.”
And that DOESN’T FUCKING WORK if Deckard is a replicant. Philip K Dick, Harrison Ford, EVERYONE on the production EXCEPT Ridley Scott either knew this or figured it out. But because Mr. Auteur decided to share his braindead take and even cut a scene from a whole-ass other movie into Blade Runner to make you think MAYBE the robot-killer cop is himself a robot because “whoa man how mind-blowing”, now we have to get people saying that’s how it is for the rest of humanity.
Deckard is not a replicant. END OF.
edit: it has been pointed out to me that Harrison has reversed his stance on whether Deckard is a replicant, and my last sentence was factually incorrect in that there IS, of course, ambiguity in the film about who’s a replicant or not. Making Deckard into one, IMO, is still a braindead take that makes the movie subjectively worse, but I should still try to be accurate.
Speaking as someone who has recently gone through this headache: if you’re fortunate enough to have your games on their own partition, you will probably want to migrate said partition over to a Linux filesystem (ext4, btrfs, etc.) sooner rather than later. Particularly for Steam games - it’s possible to mount NTFS partitions on Linux and you might even be able to get the partition to mount as read/write somewhat reliably, but getting Steam on Linux to parse those directories and read the installed games is… … well, it isn’t worth it, frankly. Easier to just bite the bullet and be done with it.
That was the most difficult part of transitioning to Linux for me, though. Most everything else either worked out of the box or was a breeze to set up. Even the printer - go figure. Anyway. You got this!
Sure, OK.
Welcome to my brain
That’s kind of what just popped into my head before I knew there were questions.
