I played Munchkin once and hated it. The barrier to entry on that game is way too high.

“Gluteal orthotic device”

I have a podcast called Almost Plausible that I make with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object (like a pillow, or a zipper, or a ceiling fan) and we create a movie plot based on that object.

We’ve been doing the show for nearly 4 years now. It’s fun to make, but it takes up a fair amount of my time. For me, a “reward” would just be more listeners. That would feel very validating.

I’m guessing these are the same guys that don’t wipe their own butts after they poop because they think touching a man’s butt is gay.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one.

I’m a bit of a pomophile myself.

Definitely a fun moment.

Jennifer Coolidge. She plays the same character in everything she’s in, and it’s a character I don’t find funny at all.

Which moment in Dragnet?

I definitely don’t have as much time as I’d like.

I still remember one of the questions on my written driving test from almost 30 years ago. It was something like:

A group of pedestrians start crossing the road in front of you, just as the light turns green for you. What do you do?

• Honk your horn and yell at them.
• Nothing, just wait for them to finishing crossing.
• Rev your engine to scare them into crossing faster.
• Hit one to teach the rest a lesson.

I was so tempted to pick the last option.

Where my fellow Spokane peeps?

It’s quite a bad movie, but it did inspire the creation of my podcast, so I don’t hate it.

Just because a man doesn’t like macaroons…

I’m surprised how many people in the comments have (A) seen this movie, and (B) liked it. I didn’t care for it, although I do like the basic premise.

The timing of your comment is a kind of a funny coincidence for me, because over the past few days I’ve been editing the next episode of my podcast, which will come out on Tuesday, and in it I mention Time Trap a couple times. Maybe the film is having a moment?

I generally agree with @Dharkstare@mastodon.world that first playthroughs should be vanilla, but I have very little time to game, and Cyberpunk is huge. I’m not trying to accomplish anything, I just want to fuck around. So I’m currently playing my first playthrough of Cyberpunk with mods, and it’s fantastic for goofing off.

With all that said, there are 2 mods I would suggest for Cyberpunk, even for an otherwise vanilla playthrough.

The first is No Intro Videos, which gets rid of the unskippable logos and health warnings that are displayed every time the game loads. It’s one of my most appreciated QoL mods.

The other is Simple Flashlight. Perhaps a little controversial for a vanilla playthrough, but I stand by it. I actually don’t use the flashlight very much, but every so often I end up somewhere that so dark, I can’t find my way out of the room/building/wherever. It’s during those infrequent times I’m grateful for a little extra light.

And Locke

I thought they meant Every Time We Say Goodbye, which I like, but most people don’t.

Heist (the 2001 film)

Easily in my top 5 films, and one that rewards rewatches.
