It had everything I wanted when I saw the trailer.

Great for movie night. Bring back sexy thrillers. This movie knew what it was. Did exactly what it was supposed to do, and more movies should follow its lead.

I am satisfied. I'd watch a sequel.

Michele know he love a woman with a heart condition.

In the world of indie and middle market gaming today, there are no shortage of games that combine deck building and roguelite elements. It’s become as tiring as a horror game where you find random objects in a small map while trying not to trigger a jump scare, or anything based around survival and crafting mechanics. To stand out from the crowd, you need to do something special, and that’s what the anonymous developer “Localthunk” has done. This was managed simply by removing the usual dressings and focusing on as simplistic a core idea as you possibly can – building poker hands. It gets absolutely absurd from there.

“Despair like that, about total reality, is self-perpetuating."

The silence of the world could not rein back its greed. Not any longer. Not when it had virtually won.

Empathy, evidently, existed only within the human community, whereas intelligence to some degree could be found throughout every phylum and order including the arachnida. For one thing, the empathic faculty probably required an unimpaired group instinct; a solitary organism, such as a spider, would have no use for it; in fact it would tend to abort a spider's ability to survive. It would make him conscious of the desire to live on the part of his prey.

Because, ultimately, the empathic gift blurred the boundaries between hunter and victim, between the successful and the defeated.

He thought, too, about his need for a real animal; within him an actual hatred once more manifested itself toward his electric sheep, which he had to tend, had to care about, as if it lived. The tyranny of an object, he thought. It doesn't know I exist. Like the androids, it had no ability to appreciate the existence of another.

Empathy toward an artificial construct? he asked himself. Something that only pretends to be alive?

“But when you get that depressed you don't care. Apathy, because you've lost a sense of worth. It doesn't matter whether you feel better, because if you have no worth—"

The old man said, "You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.”

Watched “Mechanical Violator Hakaider.”

It’s kinda neat to see typical toku action with a much higher budget, while still mostly pre-CGI.

Kinda reminds me of ‘80s fantasy movies like Ridley Scott’s “Legend” in terms of pacing. Feels like three hours of story and characterization somewhat uncomfortably crammed into 80 minutes.

Absolutely immaculate visual design.

Surprisingly lot more Easter-adjacent in imagery than I was expecting lmao.

I haven’t touched Detroit: Become Human in years, and frankly I won’t go into dept with it bc I want to forget enough to play the game with as clear a head as I can.

But I can’t help thinking of a missed opportunity. I, along with many others, think the political message they included in the game was not the right one. But I think the game had room for a political message, not about idk the weird subtext about race and slavery (tho in fairness, I feel like another storyline/game set in the D:BH world wouldn’t be amiss in covering it), but about ableism.

I mean, how many autistic people get called robots daily? Or consider the current capitalistic hellscape that drops a person to their doom the moment they’re not 100% fit and able to work themselves to the bone. It ties into the humanity of the androids, as well as relating to current world issues, AND it’s relevant to the world they were trying to build, about how androids are so much better than humans so humans get replaced.

They could’ve explored how the moment an Android isn’t operating at 100% efficiency, people with the money might just drop them and get a new one, about what makes a human a person, and how we don’t really know, so how can we know if an Android is or isn’t a person? And shouldn’t we treat them with respect regardless?

Maybe someone’s talked about this before but goddamn. The opportunity they missed.

HUAWEI Watch Fit 3 - an Apple alternative?

I wanted to write a long term review about the HUAWEI Watch Fit 3. I have been using this device for 8 months and prior to that I had a Hauwei Band 9.

Both HUAWEI fitness trackers I have owned have had connectivity issues. But before I get onto that I will start with the positives.

HUAWEI fitness trackers are known for their accuracy. The devices do have fantastic longevity and heart rate accuracy that is comparable to wearing a chest strap.

There have been some mixed reviews on sleep tracking and it seems that this is potentially where the HUAWEI trackers fall short. I can’t say I have monitored the accuracy of this too closely.

Regarding calorie counting is there really an accurate measure? Every device has its variations my treadmill does provide a lower figure than the fitness tracker. Others have mentioned that it under calculates steps and calories but my steps have been very accurate.

It has a comprehensive amount of workouts, it has great accuracy and the battery is out of this world. You can get anywhere between 7-10 days out of it and it charges very quickly.

It does lack some features such as Apple Pay or Google Pay and is more of a fitness tracker with basic smartwatch features.

As it is HUAWEI accessories and replacements straps are not readily available.

The HUAWEI health app is easy to use and very comprehensive. However, it is not available on the Google Play store. It is available on the Apple App Store, Samsungs own App Store same with Xiaomi and Honor.

This is an issue for Pixel users as the Play store is the only App Store available on Pixel. There are work arounds to get the app on Pixel but it often fails to connect and if it does connect the app doesn’t sync well.

I was able to download HUAWEI health from the Samsung App Store. It was easy enough to set up but I did have to reach out to HUAWEI as the watch didn’t automatically reconnect to the phone and it kept disconnecting.

I had the best experience using it with my Honor phone which ironically were owned by HUAWEI. The integration was very good.

I am now using it with an iPhone. Despite the fact the app is available in the App Store I have noticed some restrictions using it with iOS. Firstly, I am unable to individually select which apps I want to receive notifications on my watch from. It’s all or nothing which is frustrating as I don’t need my wrist buzzing with news headlines.

You are unable to download any additional apps but even when you can do this your options are limited anyway.

90% of the time you are unable to control music from the watch and the stats don’t integrate with Apples own fitness apps.

You also have to leave the HUAWEI health app open or you won’t receive notifications or alerts and the watch can disconnect.

If you get an alert on the app about your sleep or exercise etc this does interfere with notifications again and you have to open the app sync it and then it works.

I have never owned an Apple Watch so I can’t compare. However, if you are an iPhone user I would suggest that the Apple Watch will have better integration and better features.

I would avoid this watch if you are a Pixel user.

There is an argument that Apple trap you into an ecosystem but Google and Samsung all have their own smartwatches and ear buds etc that are all designed to work seamlessly together. For the best experience all your devices should be the same brand regardless of what that brand is.

I do like the HUAWEI Watch Fit 3 but not I am an iPhone user with no intention of switching back to Android I will be saving up for an Apple Watch.

Downside of Apple Watches? Battery life, price and not compatible with Android.

Been forgetting to use here because I’m using bluesky more shocking I know but god having Kikaider worms AGAIN and at some point I’m gonna need to go through the manga again just to compare everything in the anime even if it be very very long because really reading the manga in like a entire day because I was bored and brain rotted from my rewatch solidified the anime harder as not just one of my favorite animes but my favorite adaptation for a manga I think-

I need to read more manga in general though but wow they fucking cooked so hard which is why I’ll forever be conflicted if a new anime does end up happening with that one post I put awhile ago

More Human than Human: The Untimely Definitive Analysis of Blade Runner That Nobody Asked

Was Deckard a replicant? I found the answer: it doesn't matter.

One of the most talked about elements of the Blade Runner movie franchise is whether Deckard is a human or a replicant. After extensive research I have found the definitive answer: It doesn’t matter. Let’s settle this once and for all. It doesn’t matter. The reason is because any difference between replicants and humans is irrelevant and, by the time of the first Blade Runner movie, the time of…

The Zachtronics Solitaire Collection

If you’ve been plugged into the indie scene, you have probably heard of Zachtronics before. A small studio created by one Zach Barth, Zachtronics has been responsible for a lot of unique games, usually puzzle focused, with Zach also having some infamy for making a game some believe lead to the inspiration for Minecraft with Infiniminer. Some of the studios’ most notable releases included SHENZHEN I/O, EXAPUNKS, and Eliza, the latter a bit of a formula breaker as a visual novel about mental health and technology based therapy. The studio seems to be closed as of the release of Last Call BBS, Zach Barth interested in escaping a niche his studio grew into, though he did give us one last gift under the studio banner with The Zachtronics Solitaire Collection. This is as the title suggests, a collection of solitaire games Zach developed for seven of his previous games, along with one new unique and punishing game exclusive to this collection. Considering how fleshed out these games have been just by themselves, having them in a single place instead of an extra in a unrelated game is very welcome.
