I do this constantly, enough that I generally leave myself comments like:

// sorry future ben, this is some hack bullshit

I glad someone else (who is also old) got this :)

Turns out Baldurs's Gate was released almost 30 years ago. (1998)

Also: I am very much a mac person* and I can say that shipping mac first is not a sign that you understand the market, or even understand how to make money at all.

* I primarily prefer macs not because I loooove them, but cuz mac, win, and linux are all bad, but macs are just the least bad.

I know they keep casting him because he basically buys his way in, but still, do the studios like to lose money? Just stop it.

Also I just found out the Leto is playing Skeletor in the Masters of the Universe movie?! WTF. Whyyyy do they keep casting this shit gibbon?
I expect the He-Man movie to be very very bad, but like, my kind of very bad.was kinda looking forward to it.
But if Leto is in there, then I'll skip it.

tho I will say that at this point I am sorta curious. how do you take a crumbly cookie and make it into a spread?
i may be forced to try it.
Perhaps this explains it all, everyone is just like: "how is this a thing? I must try it!"

I have also been wondering why biscoff is suddenly everywhere. They are dry, mediocre cookies.
Like, I would eat em if they were in front of me, but I would almost always choose some other cookie given the choice.
I think I even saw a biscoff spread (like nutella; but biscoff somehow) like, wtf?

I think this is basically Daredevil (if you don't mind some gratuitous punching and other superhero shenanigans thrown in)
