This might be a good opportunity to do some self-reflecting on your beliefs about the DPRK! When you observe that objective facts don’t line up with your perception of this country, the correct thing to do is not to say “how can I twist what I’m observing into an explanation that will leave my perception unchallenged”; it’s to say “perhaps my perception of this country is flawed” and re-evaluate

Stop sending them the munitions and money that cause the suffering and maybe we’ll believe you

Both film versions of Solaris, though for vastly different reasons. Lem’s original novel is super dry and hard sci fi, like most of Lem’s work, which isn’t my favorite kind of sci fi. Both films really delve into the fascinating psychological questions of the situation Kelvin finds himself in. The Tarkovsky version is the best, unsurprisingly, since Tarkovsky is the GOAT, but I also really enjoy the Soderbergh version with George Clooney. The latter is hollywoodized compared to the Soviet version, but still is a really interesting and gorgeous movie

I think Elden Ring would be a good place to start since it’s the one that lets you customize your difficulty the most. You can use spirit summons (both other players and NPCs) and vary up the order in which you do things, so if you get stuck on something, you can go do something else and then come back with more experience and better equipment

If you know me long enough, I’ll reveal my long-standing project of building a hurdy-gurdy

I use AntennaPod currently, still works great

We need to resist the hegemony of the wizards, these guys clearly have no business making decisions for the rest of Middle-earth
