There was some controversy in 2019 involving this video. Microsoft was accused of taking too much inspiration from it for the Xbox Series X reveal trailer, which I won't link because using Alan Watts' The Dream of Life to sell video games fills me… [more]

I tie and untie knots. Specifically, I like to tie long daisy chain knots. These are basically just a braid of slip knots, so once you run of of cable/rope/shoelace/whatever you just pull it to unravel in a single satisfying pull. [more]

One could probably take MIDI inputs and convert them into Mouse/Keyboard/Gamepad controls. I didn't search too hard to find this MIDI to Joystick option. The harder part would be getting a trombone to MIDI. You might be able to use Silent Brass to… [more]

I just want to add a dissenting voice about sweeteners, creamers, and other additives. I thought I hated coffee for years because whenever someone tried to get me to drink it they would stuff it full of not-coffee. A coffee snob friend one day told… [more]

Liked it, but it was definitely elevated by Simmons' charisma. I'm not sure it would have been anywhere as good without him. Wish it had leaned in a little more to the homoeroticism so I could refer to Simmons as Daddy Tentacles forevermore. [more]

I'll second Ucluelet, especially in storm season. It is rockier and cliffier than Tofino and I think that is much better for watching waves crash. Accommodation books up fast, though. If that is somewhere you would like to go you will need to book… [more]

I'm not convinced the bad emotional arcs in this are on Sam Raimi. That feels like a script and MCU problem. I don't think the script bothered doing the work to make the emotional arcs satisfying because both Wanda's and Stephen's arcs are carried… [more]

For movies: Columbus (2017) and Paterson (2016). I'll also vouch for Amelie, which is much more sweet and sincere than I think people expect it to be. Some others that I think are close: Her, Punch-Drunk Love, Lars & The Real Girl, and maybe Lost… [more]
