I don’t think she will try to and probably shouldn’t. No one with the power to, will go against the Military industrial complex. It’s political suicide. Unfortunately the MIC is a major source of our current economic health and we will go into a recession without these arms sales. It’s manufactured, disgusting, and been the source of misery the world over for a long time. So as terrible as the situation is, we are currently stuck with no good options for the Gazans. It’s a great shame on America and I agree with the protests, but I also don’t think anything will change without a major shift in our way of life and a major catalyst that will not be fun or peaceful for anyone involved. So we kick the can down the road again and bury our heads in shame.

I am watching these with you. Both were phenomenal. What should be next on the watch list? I heard Hellbender, Hellhouse LLC, Deadstream, The Dark and the wicked, and Anything for Jackson are awesome.

First time I played Myst in 93, that was mind blowing. I didn’t see that level of graphics for a long time after that.

Also a friend let me play Half-life Alyx when it first released and it seemed to be a monumental shift in what gaming would become….. it wasn’t or hasn’t yet, but it blew my mind at the time.

City of God, (Portuguese/Brazil) One of my all time favorite movies period. Gangster/Crime lord style movie about kids running the Favelas in Rio

Elite Squad 1 and 2 also (Portuguese/Brazilian) Top notch Cop/shoot out movie really reinvigorated the Sicario and John Wick style films.

Oldboy (Korean) The WTF twist is an early stand out of what the amazing Korean producers are now famously known for.

Although not very impactful yet, it think aerographene has the potential to be massive.

Gods are literally just a psychological comfort blanket to explain the unexplainable. Most religious people don’t put that much thought into what they believe, challenging concepts are just tucked nicely away in the “Gods will” box and they move on. I think everyone copes with those brain shattering concepts in their own creative way or risk getting buried alive in anxiety.

I second the dust. Dust can collect on the sensor and trigger the alarm. You can try vacuuming or using a compressed air cleaner, or just replace.

Drakan series needs reboot. I played Drakan; Ancient gates. That game was so much fun. The seamless transition from fighting on a dragon to fighting on your feet. The next level spell casting where you had to trace out the symbol to cast. The lore felt really deep like there was a lot of secrets they never fleshed out and ever since I’ve had an itch that never got scratched.
