That was amazing! And has sent me down a rabbit hole of pinball videos...
Reminds me of this actually, all the old episodes I come across of Database actually blow my mind. They used to broadcast computer programmes through the TV via audio!!

So I finally jumped on the Squid Game bandwagon. I tend to gravitate toward characters on the morally-gray-to-bad side of the spectrum, not because I think good characters are boring, cheesy, or otherwise inherently non-compelling, but just because they tend to be written that way. Then there are times when a really, truly good character pops up in a sea of moral grays and just lights up the whole sky. Whose goodness and humanity are so forceful that it slaps the cynicism right out of you. One example of this kind of character that always comes to mind for me is Dr. Krakower from the Sopranos, who has does it with only one scene in the whole show. Ji-yeong was another one of those rare characters, and this video does a great job of explaining why.

I loved Turning Red. It's probably one of my favourite Pixar movies. The weird takes about it are baffling imo.

^i like how the answer is basically because they prioritize the sound systems in the most state-of-the-art theaters when fewer people than ever are going to theaters :/

ngl the nolan quote about 'substandard theatres' kind of irks me. not everyone can go to an imax screening with atmos sound. i think there is a cinema with an imax screen where i live, but it's not that convenient to get to. plus i go to a smaller independent cinema often, which probably doesn't have the highest of high end sound systems. and i live in a fairly big city, i imagine it's a lot worse in smaller cities/rural towns and such. do you just not deserve a decent experience in those case?

Tim Cain's youtube channel has some really neat stories and insights into the making of games that he'd been involved in like the original Fallout, Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, Arcanum, and Temple of Elemental Evil.
The Origin of Dumb Dialog:
I loved the variety of dialog options in Fallout and Arcanum. They really added so much to my experience with those games, and the interactions they wrote for low intelligence PCs in particular are hilarious.
(On a semi-related note, I really, really miss Troika Games.)
