    My version of the Endgame scene you mentioned was the ending to Return of the King. Midnight screening on New Year's Eve. It was the first time I'd ever seen a packed house give a film a standing ovation.

    I saw Endgame in a theater too, but my interest in that franchise died before that movie came out, so I didn't really feel anything during the portal scene.

    The best thing Nintendo could do with the "timeline" is completely ignored it. Which they did, and I'm glad.

    Do you think a friendship with an AI could ever be fulfilling?

    I'd like for it to effectively do all the wiring I do at work for me. Writing emails, instructions, etc can be very tedious, so anything that can save me time and make my work easier is something I'm interested in. I'm not interested in befriending or having any kind of "relationship" with AI.

    My favorite colour is green. The color of a forest when it's raining. Fantasy art of a dragon.

    I watched one called Itaewon Class, and it was pretty good. I liked the premise, an ex-con opens a street bar in Itaewon, while also seeking revenge on the family who was responsible for his father's death. But in the end I'm just not a huge fan of soap operas.

    For me, I had to come to the realization that I wasn't growing out of video games as a medium, I had just outgrown the games the gaming media hype up. It had been brewing for a while: I enjoyed playing Uncharted 2 when it was released, but could hardly get though Uncharted 4. I found the new God of War kind of boring. What really nailed it for me was seeing so many people talk about how much they loved the Guardians of the Galaxy game while I didn't even get two hours in before calling it quits. I realized that every triple A game was basically giving me the same experience, and it was boring.
    But games that give me a fresh experience? Or something old that I wasn't able to get into in my youth for whatever reason? That's what I've been enjoying. Dark Souls, Slay the Spire, Return of the Obra Din, even goddamn Tetris. Just something that feels like a game instead of a movie with gameplay elements.
