Fellowship: IMO probably the best extended of the three. More Hobbit stuff is cozy and you're not burnt out this early into the trilogy.
TT: I just remember lots of chaff from this like the hike to Helm's Deep.
RotK: Arguably the worst as it overextends an already legendarily long film AND...

Fellowship Extended: Good additional material but causes the pace to drag
Two Towers Extended: Lots of good additional material, definitively better than theatrical
Return of the King Extended: overstuffed, unnecessary skullvalanche

It's time for the annual rewatch of Lord of the Rings leading up to Christmas, and with just a couple exceptions, I can confidently say theatrical cut is far and away the superior version.

70-year-old dad asked for help picking out a PC this Christmas as he's "tired of scrolling tiktok on my phone." I could easily scout a pre built, but I'm tempted to turn this into some sort of Hallmark Channel "let's rebuild this Chevy Camaro, son" moment for kicks.

Of all the bullshit things I have done for my ex, stopping by Taco Bell and unsuccessfully requesting a Baja Blast pie definitely ranks up near the top.

Grok is just Cards Against Humanity for even lamer people.
Elon Musk claims Grok's "epic vulgar roasts" can "make people really laugh at a party" so I took him up on it and used my coworkers as guinea pigs: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
Elon Musk Said Grok’s Roasts Would Be ‘Epic’ at Parties—So I Tried It on My Coworkers
It went about as well as you’d expect.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Thinking about that time an anti-union coworker said a few words at a company town hall and closed with "please don't key my car" as if anti-union guys aren't the first to throw someone to the wolves.

Going on a vacation to the ancestral Netherlands next year and I'm just now realizing I absolutely need to get my mom a Christmas gift that plays on her Fox News-ified fear of being abducted. Jumbo size Airtag? Tactical knife hidden in a blunt? Stroopwaffle with pepper spray compartment?

Love how period-accurate retro gaming hinges on having access to one of the following two devices: A 400lb television in the approximate shape of Sisyphus' boulder, or a little plastic converter that costs $700

🎅 Are you a mutual? Would you like a Christmas card this year? I like having an excuse to use my fancy stationery and I'm not great at making/maintaining friends, so I'd like to send you a card. Will need an address but I work in PR so you know I can keep that stuff private. 😉
