GYO Tokyo Fish Attack. Body horror is a great genre that doesn’t come around very often without looking kind of cheesy so it helps being animation.

The Fly is another great example of the genre. Such an excellent movie with a sad ending to top it off.

After I saw Signs the first time, I started carrying a steel mop handle around my apartment and next to my bed at night.

Aliens really get to me from when I watched X-files as a kid, and this movie did it nicely.

There’s not really anything to screenshot? This isn’t a launcher in the sense of a GUI that launches games. It will be used by other launchers Heroic, Lutris, Bottles, etc to better run games the way Steam does.

Increased compatibility, less issues with games not loading. Essentially it will allow non-Steam launchers to run games under wine more like Steam’s proton does.

Shit job from 10 years ago. Getting too drunk at the office Christmas party and talking so much shit about my horrible fucking boss to a couple of influential senior managers who are close to the CFO. Freaked out all weekend about it, severe anxiety attacks. That mixed with the hangover I was just vomiting all weekend.

And then: Run into one of those senior managers early in the office on Monday morning, apologised for being inappropriate. Get a response “oh, we all know how bad she is, can’t believe you haven’t quit yet”.

I was owed 30 cents or something by a TelCo about 20 years ago. So they sent me an invoice stating the debt every month. I asked them if they can just cut me a cheque or something and they said they wouldn’t for such a small amount.

So I received a -30c payable invoice monthly for years until the company went out of business.

When I entered the workforce in the early 2000s, I struggled to get a job. To get unemployment payments I had to attend a weekly session at a local job agency to prove I was actively trying to work.

I remember the advice from there clearly - “Just think of a place you want to work, go there with your resume, ask them what positions they have and offer to work for free. Then they’ll hire you if they like you.”

When I saw Casino, I was blown away. I still think that’s it for the franchise, they’ll never top that movie. I’ve seen most of the newer ones since Casino, and to me I’m right.

And to me, Casino works standalone. That ending is the perfect implication of what happens next.

My favourites before Casino were From Russia With Love, Live and Let Die, and The Spy Who Loved Me.

I did really like Roger Moore, I thought his light hearted adventure style Bond movies were a lot of fun (not always good 😐)

She’s just salty because it turns out those two Hollywood phonies had a taser. And they tased her in the butthole. She fell to the ground but the phonies didn’t let up. Her butthole was on fire.

You can’t trust the system, man.

Or in the 90s, finding the Windows directory, “there’s a lot of stuff in here, I bet I can free up a lot of space”
