stranger things has been off the air for so long that I don't even remember what the plot was about, and in that time the entire cast and crew has seemingly come out as the Worst People You Know Club, so I'm not really clear on where any enthusiasm should come from

Star Trek the motion picture has the absolute widest gap between the visual effects / technical designs and the interior / costume designs
This is an implacable differential. An uncrossable chasm. An entire universe apart in quality

(but someone was asking a question about a particular, specific piece of specialist knowledge, a reply went "have you tried chatgpt?" and I went "or scrying, have you tried scrying?" because I was in a mood)

I didn't even know there was a sequel coming but! what matters is that everyone should play Tangle Tower immediately.
