1/2 way into Westworld s3e1 it has gone cyberpunk. Not cp2020 but cp2050 if it was written in 2019. Now my wondering is what the Westworld/Delos parks would have been like if Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild was the inspiration instead of Red Dead Redemption? GTA in the old west vs. Miyazaki’s Princess […]

Aliens Extended Edition
Watching Aliens Extended Edition while some of the deleted scenes are interesting, fill in gaps of the story, ultimately the theatrical cut is paced better.

The Witcher
As a long time Dungeons & Dragons / Table Top RPG player and game master The Witcher feels like a BECMI Dungeon Master’s really well developed home brew world. Very high praise.

iPhone11
Did the phone new phone yesterday, iPhone 7 to iPhone 11. Backup/Restore didn’t work so it is fresh setup. Feel like I’m re-establishing my butt grove into the couch.
Lone Wolf and Cub
By Source, Fair use, Link Seen several mentions of Lone Wolf and Cub if you like The Mandalorian. On the library’s wait list for the Criterian Collection version.
