Control is the best because on first look it's a creepy horror game but then you get like an hour in and it turns out you're the scariest thing in this game. One of my top replay/comfort games

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.
10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Rewatching The Matrix and, watching him, the whole "Is Keanu Reeves a good actor" thing is so weird to me. He's so present in every moment. He's not a chameleon - he's always Keanu Reeves in the same way that Harrison Ford is always Harrison Ford - but he truthfully inhabits the world of the movie.
