I’m reading it for the first time this year, downloaded for free from Gutenberg.org.

Grabbed it right after watching Muppet Christmas Carol and once I finish I’ll watch Spirited. Scrooged is of course saved for Christmas Eve.

Also been thinking about throwing into the mix that one episode of Real Ghostbusters where they go back in time and unwittingly catch the three ghosts which screws up the timeline because of the unrepentant Scrooge that results.

I’m very happy that he seems to have his own stocking. 😊

No no no. No one should ever watch the remakes. The OG show and End of Eva movie, while not perfect, are an extraordinary and focused (again, with a few exceptions and missteps along the way) artistic expression from a soul in pain trying to understand and work through their traumas, the kind of exercise that some of the best art comes from.

The remakes are nonsensical meta garbage about Anno (the artist in question) trying to leave behind this behemoth IP empire that he accidentally created and desperately wants to be free of, to the point that he couldn’t even finish the damn things himself.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I truly regret the time I spent watching the remakes.

“…as he thrust his purple-helmeted warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding…”

A Look Around You reference in the Wild? My day is made! ❤️

I like coffee Janeway memes the best.

If you prefer this particular dystopian vision with chuckles, Rifftrax did it and was pretty good as I recall.

My friend keeps telling me that if I loved Shadows, which I did, then I definitely need to check out Wellington. I trust him, he’s far more discerning than I am.

Ohhhh shiiiii… I think I had this one too! Haven’t thought about this in literal decades! 😍

Unlike Grok, I am utterly speechless…

Having it as a ’launch title’ with the Steam Machine release would be more hype than the world could handle.

Holy shit, this got a spit take out of me! 🤣

You magnificent batard!

😳

Fall of Icarus would make a great album title, and the photo could be the cover art!

How has the Tolkien estate not already sued them into oblivion for this?

Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens.

Lots of great advice here but this stands out as a really good bit that a lot of people (including myself) need to consider.

Weekend proooojeeeeeect! 🎵

Anyone know what the reaction screenshot is from?

So I went to look up the origin of the image in this macro and it turns out that almost this exact meme (unplayed Steam games) was like the first iteration of it in meme form, appearing only a hour after the original photo was posted to Reddit.

I was really enjoying wallabag for a while, but after an update (or something?) the container no longer connects to the db and I haven’t been smart enough to figure out why yet.

BUT when it works it’s got a nice interface and the Firefox extension clips articles quickly. Biggest downside I’ve run into is the iOS app can’t make highlights or annotations, and it sometimes randomly reloads an article while reading and ‘forgets’ its place.
