    I wouldn't be unhappy in Zendaya stopped showing up in everything as well. This movie is possibly the most egregious use of star power and advertising I have ever seen, and in my opinion the casting director should be exiled.

    That being said, a few people definitely did well - I'd said Pattinson did the best job overall, there was some applause in the theatre when he died.

    It would also be nice if for once they would make all the actors pretend to Greek, rather than have the British actors pretend to be American.

    I will definitely have to stop by and check it out soon...

    To be completely honest, I was really excited to play Minecraft again when the server last came back online, but after like two days of seeing other people's builds I started feeling like an absolute moron and lost my desire to play. It's like I'm not even playing the same game as everyone else, and it doesn't make me feel particularly good.

    I can totally see MS deciding they need to milk harder as it's one of their only big titles these days. At least we will always have old java versions should that go down!

    Doing really bad thanks!

    I've been struggling for years with chronic pain caused by a tumour, which is apparently now growing. The surgeons suggest doing anything will possibly result in more pain, so I'm feeling pretty trapped currently... Have spent a lot of time fantasizing about MAID.

    Besides that, I have no real friendships anymore, and my wife and I fight far more frequently than I feel comfortable with. Apparently my therapist also forgot to send me an invite to a meeting several months ago, then didn't follow up after I didn't show. So now I have to get signed up for that again.

    I considered making a new reddit account like a week ago to find support regarding my particular mental health disorder, as I generally feel ashamed mentioning it outside of designated areas. Sadly I decided against it, which in retrospect was probably a poor choice!

    Also, i have to loot everything. Games take me a very long time to finish because of this. Overall I'm pretty sure I am highly diagnosable.

    Boards of Canada are my all time top played artist over like 15 years on last.fm - I've been listening to their new album a lot since it came out. It's a dark one, but there are a bunch of incredible tracks so I'm happy.

    This song in particular is super hypnotic: https://youtu.be/0gVuRo5kicY

    The whole album seems to have a sort of cult / religious fervour theme, that I'd say doesn't portray Christianity in the greatest light. The linked song is from an old video where a father is asking his son to come home to his family, and the son refuses because his love for Jesus is too great. The sample is so eerie and captivating, and I honestly think it is one of BoC's greatest tracks.

    The album cover, sleeves, and bonus artwork from the deluxe vinyl are all also somewhat disturbing.. lots of crosses and kids with white eyes. If you are not already a Boards of Canada fan, this is probably not the easiest album to start with. It is definitely horror soundtrack inspired, but there is a massive amount of beauty in there as well.

    Besides BoC, a bunch of artists released albums today that I am looking forward to listening to more: Vince Staples, Anjunabeats, the prophesized 5th Skrillex project, Mystic State, Thought Process, Ruban Nielson/Jeff Mattson, and a Koan Sound EP.

    When this completely stops sales, I wonder what they will do to make existing lifetime users pay more. Why anyone first getting into self-hosting would choose to use Plex at this point is beyond me.
