We love the Pro 2. Shaped like a classic PS controller, easily works on PC, phones and Switch, and unlike the 3, it still has an easily replaceable battery (while also coming with a rechargeable bat). Also, it recently had a refresh with Hall Effect + fun colorways. shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bi...

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

Existing in the world, at this very moment, is like staring at a building where the walls, interior spaces and charming decor were all ripped out by the wealthy, and the floor is just a series of thin planks that fall between the steel beams quite easily

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

(The part that surprised us the most: we hated Noroi’s ending because it ripped away the subtlety for a flashy finale. Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi goes even bigger and louder, yet the full-on commitment means it actually works for us. Funny how a weakness can turn into a strength if you amplify it)

We legit didn’t put together that both were by the same guy until now, so what first felt like a partially comedic riff on a movie we liked but didn’t love has turned into an impressive example of an artist improving across the board.

It’s going to be funny when Letterboxd does its Year In Review, and most-watched director/actor/etc. categories are all taken up by Koji Shiraishi films (since we *also* watched Noroi before hopping on this series)
