Edit my podcast.

(Almost Plausible, in case you’re looking for another podcast to listen to.)

Now that’s a username!

My cat is exactly like this. She seems so puzzled as to why I would ever go in there. Then after I’m done, she likes to go in and watch water pool and run down the drain.

Did we ever get more purple petunias, though? I would be interested in very purple petunias.

I recently visited my city’s wastewater treatment plant for a tour. This was taken from the top of one of the giant digesters that process solids.

I still remember the telnet address to the MUD I played in the late '90s. That will be burned in my brain forever.

I played Munchkin once and hated it. The barrier to entry on that game is way too high.

I have a podcast called Almost Plausible that I make with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object (like a pillow, or a zipper, or a ceiling fan) and we create a movie plot based on that object.

We’ve been doing the show for nearly 4 years now. It’s fun to make, but it takes up a fair amount of my time. For me, a “reward” would just be more listeners. That would feel very validating.

Heist (2001)

I like all of Mamet’s films, but Heist is head and shoulders above the rest, IMO. Besides being a well written heist film with a great cast, it rewards rewatching. I’ve watched it so many times, but the last time I watched it, I caught a new detail I hadn’t noticed before.

Definitely a fun moment.

Jennifer Coolidge. She plays the same character in everything she’s in, and it’s a character I don’t find funny at all.

Which moment in Dragnet?

I definitely don’t have as much time as I’d like.

Where my fellow Spokane peeps?

It’s quite a bad movie, but it did inspire the creation of my podcast, so I don’t hate it.

I’m surprised how many people in the comments have (A) seen this movie, and (B) liked it. I didn’t care for it, although I do like the basic premise.

The timing of your comment is a kind of a funny coincidence for me, because over the past few days I’ve been editing the next episode of my podcast, which will come out on Tuesday, and in it I mention Time Trap a couple times. Maybe the film is having a moment?

I generally agree with @Dharkstare@mastodon.world that first playthroughs should be vanilla, but I have very little time to game, and Cyberpunk is huge. I’m not trying to accomplish anything, I just want to fuck around. So I’m currently playing my first playthrough of Cyberpunk with mods, and it’s fantastic for goofing off.

With all that said, there are 2 mods I would suggest for Cyberpunk, even for an otherwise vanilla playthrough.

The first is No Intro Videos, which gets rid of the unskippable logos and health warnings that are displayed every time the game loads. It’s one of my most appreciated QoL mods.

The other is Simple Flashlight. Perhaps a little controversial for a vanilla playthrough, but I stand by it. I actually don’t use the flashlight very much, but every so often I end up somewhere that so dark, I can’t find my way out of the room/building/wherever. It’s during those infrequent times I’m grateful for a little extra light.

Bears?

Not just the president, but any elected official.
