iirc the original SteamOS for the SteamBox was Debian-based (like Ubuntu), i think they switched it to Arch since it moves a bit faster and offers a bit better compatibility.

why is fps labeled with hours and minutes? what is "dead cells" and why is it also labeled hours and minutes?

edit wow i was even more confused about it than i thought. what a terrible graph.

it's so weird to me that the hate for TLJ (easily the best of the sequels, and imo better than any of the prequels) is so strong but the reaction to and criticism for RoS (the worst SW movie to date by a WIDE margin) are and remain extremely tepid.

Also they did my girl Rose Tycho dirty af and I'm still salty to this day.

Tolkien has some very dense prose and it can be tough to get through. The Silmarillion's even moreso, it reads like the King James Bible. I think what really kills it though is how influential it's been on the genre. So much is derivative of LotR that it no longer feels "fresh", kind of the same way The Beatles were mind-blowingly innovative at the time but now it all just sounds really generic and well-worn. You're bang-on about Star Wars too, I like Star Wars quite a bit but it goes groundbreaking movie (ANH), goated classic (ESB), schlock (the rest of the movies).

i was invited to a viewing party for a GoT season premier. i had never seen any of the show before and had no idea what i was in for beyond "gritty fantasy show". they all talked it way up, told me it was "sex and violence the TV show" and how much i would love it.

it was so so so boring i thought it would never end. i'm baffled why it's popular.

This is my exact stance on not only Ferrell but Jim Carrey, their "funny guy" schtick just makes me cringe but in a "serious" role they're GREAT.

Beetlejuice. What an awful fucking movie.

for animated stuff skip the dave filoni garbage and go straight to Visions and the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars.

agree to disagree on Tim and Eric but Forrest Gump is a turd, I have no idea why people like that movie

you should email them about their mistake, because that's absolutely a meth pipe.

i got really enthusiastic and wrote a short essay about why space is really cool in a facebook comment, and got inboxed a bunch of vitriol about starting arguments and blocked. people baffle me.
