The Evil Dead trilogy.

A younger friend of mine had started playing the Evil Dead game with some of his friends but had never seen the movies. I’d not watched them in years, so I invited him over to marathon them one weekend. We drank, ate pizza and did the whole trilogy, and we had an absolute blast. He loved how different each movie was, especially Heart of Darkness. How each one gets sillier than the last.

A few months later, Evil Dead Rise came out in the cinema, so we had to go see it. While this was much more a straight up horror movie (with a small amount of the Evil Dead silliness), I still enjoyed it (I find horror movies quite funny, like an emotional rollercoaster), but he was hiding behind his coat the whole time, terrified of what was happening on screen. That made it even funnier for me.

Nah, he’ll be put in charge of women’s health and reproductive rights.

The tax isn’t the point. The point is to crash the economy so that the rich can buy up as much as possible as cheaply as possible, once more consolidating more wealth into their hands and robbing it from the rest of us. They don’t care if the price of eggs, or iPhones, or any other goods are going to increase, they have the funds to wait that out, but when the cost of ownership of land, property or corporations goes down, they can buy them up and control that wealth once it recovers.

They don’t care that you suffer. They just want to own all the stuff.

Edit: wow, 8 hours later and I’m already proven right: https://lemmy.nz/post/21369385

I use Qobuz, and I like it a lot. You can easily download music for offline listening, there’s a lot of high def on there, and from what information is known about how much streaming services pay back to record labels, Qobuz appears to be the biggest payer per stream.

The app is no frills, they only added auto generated playlists a year or so ago. Their recommendations are less tailored, but high quality if you’re wanting to explore outside your usual tastes.

Plus, it’s just music. No podcasts, no audiobooks, no games, no generative ai for some reason.

It looks like Bender in that Tales of Interest episode where he becomes human, overindulges and dies.

Look it’s simple, commission a Japanese band with a rudimentary understanding of English to write an album in English with no regard to time signature and release Vib Ribbon 2, god dammit!

I think a capsule, permanently drifting through space, frozen, with a plaque on the side saying “this is a warning to everyone” sends a much clearer message.

It’s because they’re alpha version. They haven’t gone through beta testing, been selected as a release candidate, sent to QA and finally released. They’re only alpha.

• DVD: 55%
• Blu-ray: 26%
• UHD: 18%

So Wolfenstein is fair game because that’s clearly satire, with roided up, mecha Nazis, but this is bad because… robot Thatcher? Sure, that makes sense.

Dvds still account for around half of physical media sales. Far from obsolete.

Similar situation, I was at an antiques shop with my parents, on November 11th, which here in the UK is a day of remembrance for people who died during WW1 and WW2. We’re observing the moment of silence, when an American guy walks in, notices the silence and loudly exclaims “Wow, who died? It’s like a mausoleum in here!” Someone, thankfully, took him to the side and quietly explained what was happening. He did apologise afterwards. I found the whole situation very funny.
