DEMON'S SOULS update:
1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 3-1 cleared.
So... basically where I left off in 2020 when I first tried. Can't remember if I went further and got stuck or just let life get in the way, but I vow to at least get further this time.

It's almost END OF DAYS time. A tradition that goes back to opening weekend, Thanksgiving night in 1999. Fell asleep then, and then tried to stay awake every year since.
In 2022 I did, which was supposed to end the tradition, because I finally "won", but my wife got sad and thus it continued.

Does anyone else judge the quality of a Blu-ray and/or the lighting of a movie by how often you can see the dust floating around behind the actors?

My biggest regret in life is that I didn't fly in late 1998/early 1999 so that I could have seen the airline "Alan Smithee" version of MEET JOE BLACK that removed all the corporate merger stuff. Not that I mind it, but I'm just so curious how it would play.

Just finished 1-1 on Demons Souls without dying once. A record for me, someone who is terrible at these games (yet loves them).

Getting out of work early for the holiday but there's nothing in theaters I want to see except SISU 2, which isn't playing at a time that lets me take advantage of the early out. This is clearly the worst thing that's ever happened to me. Or anyone, really.

Yeah I changed my mind after I saw a Freddy with a red and *blue* sweater and seven blades on the wrong hand carving up a turkey with the caption HAPPY THAŊƘ§IVNG
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
