I might be in the minority of people who think Heat is a bit cheesy and dumb. I get it's more meant to be about two obsessive guys that are the best at what they do coming head to head, but it just feels so silly.

The ending is a cop-out as well. De Niro's gun jams? It feels like they wanted the cops to win but couldn't figure out how to make that happen. Den Niro's character isn't the sort that would let his gun jam, you know he'd keep that shit clean and ready to go at a moment's notice.

For your 'Shakespearean epic told through the guise of a crime movie' I much prefer Animal Kingdom. I feel like it does all the non-crime parts better to make you care about the characters

Last week when I was sick I blazed through Sprawl. It's a boomer shooter with slo-mo and wallrunning like Titanfall 2 (from what I understand, I haven't played Titanfall 2 yet). Ended up beating the game in one sitting so I almost did it again the next night.

You can almost play through the game without slo-mo at all too. I use it more like ADS in a regular shooter. So instead of staying in slow motion for a while, wall run and jump over a guy with a riot shield, slow motion to line up the perfect headshot, then back to normal for everyone else.

Fun game. Does the modern Doom thing where you only have like 20 bullets for each gun, and capacity doesn't get upgraded so upping the difficulty is also a balance in resource management. Guns felt a little off though. The starting pistols aren't hitscan so you need to lead your shots ever so slightly, and have no punch unless you're lining up headshots. The railgun equivalent also felt off. Maybe that's because you can't adjust the crosshair too much, I like it a little transparent so you can aim over longer distances easier, I just kept missing things even at a standstill.

It has been out for a while so you can get it cheap, and a new Sprawl game is coming out soon, they had a demo up for Nextfest

The most unrealistic part of Into The Spiderverse is that Miles would listen to Post Malone.

Spider powers? Multiverse theroy? That theory specifically applying to Spider-man for some reason? I believe all that. But a black kid from New York listening to that white boy? No way

If conservatives wanted to destroy Hasan's credibility they'd resurface old clips of him playing Rust

Ol' Jeezy C had it right back in the day. Once you have heaps of money you could just go around helping people and still live off the interest. How much more do you need after that? But for some people it's never enough.

Pretty sure some of the Zyklon B used in the gas chambers was supplied by American companies as well

I just wonder if having a billion dollars does that to people or if only people like that are the ones willing to do what it takes to get a billion dollars.

It's funny to think reeving a billion dollars is like the zombie bite for becoming a nazi paedophile. I know there's more to it than that but the thought you just have billions dumped in your lap like Notch means it's just a matter of time

A well designed character is one you can tell from their silhouette alone

Wrongfully accused inmate, Flint Marko, makes a last ditch attempt to escape from prison to see his sick daughter. Whilst evading the police, Flint gets caught up in a science experiment that opens up opportunities to fund his daughter's treatment he never could have conceived of before. Can he get his daughter the care she needs and clear his name for the crime that has kept him away from his family for so long, whilst also evading the forces of the city that are trying to stop him?

I've heard about this since old people have been able to avoid technology until phones and tablets, and kids have been brought up with phones, tablets and consoles. There was only one window of people who grew up 'going on the computer'. My dad took some computer courses back in the DOS days but I wasn't really taught anything through school or any official body. It was really more from needing to troubleshoot things on the computer all the time and seeing the transition from dial-up to broadband when the internet became more accessible.

I want to mitigate this with my kids by restricting their phone time and giving them the oldest functioning Linux computer I can with relatively few restrictions. I have this dual core ultrabook with 4gb RAM from 2012 that still works with Mint on it now. They can play with that, figure out how to pirate games and get them running with WINE and whatever else on there.

I feel my issue will be other parents that are either boomer-style tech illiterate or just not as interested. They'll just get their kids Switches and tablets, then that's what my kids will want to play with their friends. Instead of learning how to host my own Luanti server for my kids and their friends, they'll want a tablet to go on Roblox or a Switch for Fortnite.

And do you feel it too?
