LRS Also the siren call of "it's not online" and "No ads or algorithms, just whatever media you bought" has to be amazing to someone who otherwise has grown up in a world awash with ads and algorithms pushing you toward whatever they want you to buy today.

The biggest surprise here is that "Middle of the Road" is only at 5, because I put that on repeat playing games a lot! Followed closely by nothing by Lights showing up.

Ok seriously. Every meeting now. Is he just being old? Did they remix his meds so the Viziers and palace eunuchs can just run wild? Did the ghosts of Epstein Past come to him in the middle of the night robbing him of sleep?

Keeping a potion of Speak with Animals on at all times has been a glorious use of gold in Baldur's Gate 3.

Right now there's an error when you try to send feedback, but keep trying. If you're a Prime member, definitely mention how you expect your membership to include quality services and programming and how this fails to deliver.
That I can do.
Search Prime Video for the title (I went with Banana Fish), then click on Details, and scroll past the Cast page to "Send Us Feedback."
