I think a steam deck would be neat af myself. At this point it's the only true handheld gaming device I really want. I don't really count the switch. I don't see the switch 2 being much more promising but I haven't played with it.

I've been wondering how that's going to feel once my mortgage is paid to have to fork out a property tax payment in full every year myself, but in theory I guess it shouldn't be that bad with any amount of budgeting. Just setting aside like a quater of what my current mortgage payment is I should be able to have enough at the end of the year to cover it. Right now it's all factored into my mortgage payment with escrow. Which is pretty frustrating on it's own to me because it means every year my mortgage payments go up almost $50 dollars monthly due to an escrow shortage....

Futurama had a new season exclusive to hulu, and it was alright... Just seems like they tried to force in a lot of the same silly situational jokes used in previous seasons that didn't hit as hard for me at least, but all in all it wasn't terrible.

He just doesn't like that you're on e it's triggering his anxiety.

That's mobile for one so it's probably a smaller phone or just using an odd screen res.

yeah I had the underscores taken out of mine like the first day lol.

Tech starts doing the opposite of lighting up your life when you work or have worked in the field a lot lol... I'm still using the same pc I built like 10 years ago and it still outshines a lot of store builds in multiple areas so I guess there's that though.

I don't fucking know I should be asleep since I gotta drive +50 miles to work tomorrow and I've been leaving all that up to my way older manager that seems like she needs a break..

According to my AI overview this happened today Advocates highlight the dangers of gutted journalism: In a report by Democracy Now!, director Rick Goldsmith discussed his documentary Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink. The film draws attention to how hedge funds have acquired newspapers and slashed newsroom staff, negatively impacting journalism and the communities it serves.

@discolé monade I'm watching the first episode of Them now... The tensions already through the roof I guess. It has been really good though. Those sets look picture perfect. Livia Emry loading up the Glock at midnight was a nice touch... I'm so uncomfortable right now though lol.

To kind of conclude my little dive into that rabbithole that rose from the dead.. that shit is just TRASH of course. I mean it's not even that disturbing. The video and audio effects are so over done at some points the shit almost looks like stop motion and it's not..This shit is so old anyway that I'm just gonna post it in a spoiler for posterity with a nudity and fairly nasty vomit disclaimer, but not even the vomit scenes were that disturbing to me. After fast forwarding through sections of complete edit slop I got too bored to keep going and just clicked off like 40 minutes in. From what I gather this guy "Reckless Ben" just recently posted a expose style documentary video on YouTube about "Lucifer Valentine" that revived a lot of the conspiracy hype. I will say that if that Ben dude's voice and antics in the video are just for comedic effect they are a nice touch, but I'm over it.

Has anybody watched the film series they discuss in this video. Terror Ted's Tales is often more tin-foil-hat than anything from what I've seen but I've been wondering if movies from this guy are really as bad as everyone is claiming here. According to the MammaMaxesque youtuber they feature on this show the producer brainwashes girls to use as actresses then really fucks them up for the movies, but it seems like a load of publicity bullshit to me. Zero police action has been taken, and the dude has a pretty credible Hollywood portfolio at this point so it seems more likely all this is just the result of even edgier edge lords buying into edge lord marketing tactics, but.. It's left me curious. Was considering making this a stand alone thread but it fits in pretty well here anyway. I might add some of the more established shorts they discuss to my horror binge list, but I'm really NOT that big on vomit gore and shit like that... Anybody else here even heard of this shit? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughtered_Vomit_Dolls The guy's real name is Shawn Fedorchuk. He has rewards for working on the title sequence of True Blood, The Grid etc. but it's those vomit films of his that crisscrossed all the conspiracy kids wires on reddit. If he really has so many people convinced he's a criminal and his gore is real when it isn't he has to be good at something though right? I found the first one "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls" and it looks sloppy as shit. I'm just 10 minutes in but can't see what all the fuss is about..

The full moon tonight is the first supermoon of 2025. It's an "October harvest super-moon" https://www.space.com/stargazing/harvest-moon-rises-tonight-see-1st-supermoon-of-2025-brighten-october-sky

@Ric Thanks again for the old goofy Japanese horror movie suggestion. It came in pretty clutch after watching Terrifier 3. The scene where Art and associate are picking apart the last girls whole family with her tied up actually disturbed me a bit, and that's pretty hard to do lol.

I've actually been helping AutoZone's upper management set up a new warehouse or "megahub" the last few weeks which meeans me and a longtime manager have just been extra warehouse hands commuting quite a bit so I've had less time then usual to make posts like this, but the premier All Hallows Eve definitely didn't disappoint. The 3 shorts were all pretty dope especially the one tht had an alien as the monster while Art the clown was just an ominous painting. I had to follow up watching those by watching the first Terrifier film which didn't really disappoint at all, and I was surprised. I think I'm about ready to watch Terrifier 2 which from looking at things is like peak art the clown shenanigans.. Imma try to watch all suggestions as well but I have to finish my Terrifier journey first lol.

Amazon prime really aint that much better though. I can't stay subbed to any streaming service tbh, and amazon prime vid does host a lot of series I like.. Like at least 3 or 4 tv series I'll resub for when they finally greenlight and air a new season.

I'm even more curious now lol... Netflix hasn't really done me right since stranger things, and I'll never be a subscriber again but I have my ways. spits out beer.... It's Amazon dumbass. Hmmm. Imma check it out thanks.

It's about time to officially embrace the spooky season (for me at least) since I somehow haven't seen any of these films, and The Terrifier series has supposedly grown over the years into a nice slasher film box office success story. Yes the horror section looks like it's open again but I don't see any new posts since 2024 so I'm putting this here for now. Also while I'm at it post some of your own favorites. (short films/low budget indie experimental encouraged) I'm about to kick this off by starting with this old gem I found on YouTube. Cheers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lC_5Av9VeA

Just a large orb weaver. Not one I've been bitten by so I wont contest whether or not their bite is more painful than a bee sting, but I've handled them more than a few times when I was stationed in Georgia in the army. In my opinion you'd pretty much have to literally press it's head down on your skin for it to even consider biting as opposed to just trying to escape as my friend spencer demonstrates here. he's also a spider whisperer of sorts though. He free handled a brazilian wandering spider one time and made it out to be a gentle giant so idk lol.
