    @aetataureate i liked a lot in that season, and the john turturro & christopher walken stuff i liked the most

    @aetataureate i've only ever seen younger john turturro so when i was told "that's john turturro" in the pilot i thought it was a gas-lighting bit

    interested in lisp, was looking around for lisp gamedev solutions, and if I'm honest was getting a little discouraged at what I was seeing (not lisps fault!)

    then I stumbled on fennel (lisp -> lua), and I think this might be a solution worth exploring?

    @daviwil looking at a view example split keyboards it seems they all do this, which is a little odd

    i thought maybe only the UHK did it for engineering reasons to fit the module connector, but I guess that's the just the standard

    What options do I have for parsing child headlines in ?

    Can find a million and one options for walking up the tree, but struggling to find how to walk down

    you'd think you'd know exactly what you're getting into with reading Dracula, but I did not expect it to be as wild and funny as it has been so far

    MenacingMecha,
    @MenacingMecha@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    the first thing Dracula does in the book Dracula is show up disguised in a fake beard

    every night the protagonist looks out the window and he's just out there climbing the walls like a lizard

    keep cutting back to a guy in london eating spiders

    @daviwil whole thing rules up until you get to two londites having a regular conversation and go "i have no idea what any of these words could possibly begin to mean"

    been getting some fantastic use out of org babel the past few days to literate-ly filter down data in the process of reviewing potential music assets for my game

    not sure I could live without this workflow now!

    only thing i'm struggling with is how to not lose/add column headers, but it's really not that big a deal

    @mykhaylo 1. have some input data (either from input file(s) or a list/table in a named block)

    1. write a source block that functionally returns a transformed/queried/filtered/etc set of data into a new list/table

    2. repeat 2

    at what point can winrar be considered just an actual scam?

    like it does nothing that more open formats don't do, stop enabling this proprietary hell format that preys on lack of knowledge to try sell you something you haven't needed for many years

    🎬 watched Tombstone (1993)

    ehhhh nah

    really weird mix of high production values, great actors giving a great performance, and a really confused messy narrative. can't divulge more without getting into spoilers

    weird energy in this town. near every character has villain energy. straight up thought val kilmer was a villain when introduced, instead of being the secondary protagonist

    look, if you like western dad movies, you will enjoy it. but in that case, you've already seen this and love it

    🎬 watched The Carpenter (1988)

    decent!

    script is extremely messy, but as it leads to some interesting elements, it can be somewhat forgiven. somewhat

    all the kills are fun, varied, and sufficiently theme-adjacent, which is what you really want from a slasher

    allegedly very canadian, but as a brit, that stuff's completely invisible to me. had a similar experience with ginger snaps outside of Emily Perkins' accent

    recommended for b-horror fans, though by no means an entry-level experience

    🎬 watched Blacula (1972)

    start was real promising, but then it just settles into a dry, repetitive monster movie. some slivers of social commentary here and there, but not enough of that angle to save it

    also never before seen a movie start off not homophobic, and then get more and more homophobic as the movie goes on; like that's usually a pretty constant level

    🎬 watched The Lawnmower Man (1992)

    always known this as "that terrible movie with bad CGI", but it's not terrible nor is the CGI bad? it's fine, and the CGI is early CGI that they do some cool effects with

    basically your standard "guy gets psychic powers that get out of hand" script, except they tack on VR in a way that really doesn't make sense

    maybe watch for b-movie fans. any movie that opens with a scientist shouting "HE WAS THE BEST CHIMP I EVER HAD" is surely a good time

    🎬 watched Evil Toons (1992)

    surprisingly decent time?

    yes, the titular evil toon singular only appears for like 2 mins, and yes it's mostly just ouright sleaze, but there's a pleasantly charming ultra campy scream-level-meta b-horror under the surface, even if the jokes never land

    features one of the strangest scenes I've ever seen in a film, where Dick Miller is sitting around watching actual Dick Miller movies before turning to the camera and saying "ey this guy shudda won more awards!"

    🎬 watched Troll 2 (1990)

    nowhere near as bad as it's reputation proceeds

    like sure the acting is very stilted and extreme, the effects are mostly not great, and the script almost doesn't make sense, but there's some cool stuff in there: geniunely nice shots, nice moody lighting, and a killer soundtrack. never not thoroughly entertaining. ending sucks though.

    great entry level b-horror

    🎬 watched Ichi the Killer (2001)

    glad I finally watched it, but don't think i'd recommend

    fun visuals, but it's long, slow, weirdly paced and extremely hard to follow

    early-2000s hyper visceral edge was a breath of fresh air compared to Ginger Snaps 2's mid-2000s misery porn edge, though

    🎬 rewatched Lost Highway (1997)

    I've gone on record that I did not like Lost Highway the first time I watched it.

    On rewatch, however, I loved it! Allowed me to approach it fully aware of what happens, knowing that, no, there are not answers - and it doesn't matter that there aren't. Instead, you get to sit back and soak in the atmosphere, and with a familiarity on the production, get to appreciate the insanely creative ways it explores it's themes and subject matter

    also late 90s as FUCK
