Amen to that. Caffeine is life!

I'll always have a soft spot for the old Sierra games because they were the first adventure games I played, but I think I'd recommend the old LucasArts games to new players nowadays. The LucasArts games were just better designed - they don't have fail states and you can't unexpectedly die so you are more free to explore.

My recommendation would be to check out "Day of the Tentacle". In my opinion it is the best example of point and click games. I don't know about Linux compatibility but it recently had a re release so I think it should work.

Isn't treason only in times of war? I think that's why they are being accused of sedition instead. I suppose that's kind of a minor point regardless since I think the only major difference between treason and sedition is the wartime distinction.

You know, I've always wondered if there's any animosity from the other groups since they get two letters but everyone else only gets one...

That's not their most recent published work. That was published in Feb 2023 and they released a more recent report on Jul 2023 (and I believe it has less troublesome references but I'll admit I don't have the time to go through them all):

Regardless, your point still stands, there's likely more circular referencing than I originally believed. I'm still not convinced it is as much of a conspiracy as others have claimed, but it is food for thought. I appreciate the less combative tone and a willingness to discuss in good faith.

The music was particularly amazing in this game. I just think the biggest drawback were the very cryptic puzzles especially in the later half. It all makes sense retrospectively once you understand what you are doing but in the moment it can be very frustrating.

It reminds me lot of Myst like puzzles - you end up interacting with a bunch of weird technology and it isn't always clear on what you are doing.

I mean I have some pretty toxic family members as well, but at least a few of them are decent or innocent people. Pretty much everyone is going to have at least one family member that they care about even if most are shit heads.

For sure, the person in that video (Shays Moss) is one of people mentioned in the article who is suing Giuliani.

For sure, it just immediately reminded me of the Simpsons like you said:

"Who are we?" "THE WILDCATS!" "Who are we going to beat?" "THE WILDCATS!"

Which one though? There's the David Lynch version, the Sci Fi mini series, and the most recent adaptation. They all have their pros/cons, but I honestly prefer the Sci Fi mini series. It's lower budget than the movies, but I think they did a great job at adapting the source material.

I gotta go with Primer because it pretty much is necessary to re-watch it multiple times to understand what is going on.

+1 for Mad Max: Fury Road. It's such a great movie! I've put it on multiple times thinking I just want to re-watch one scene and it just sucks me in.
