    I think it's pretty niche from what I can tell, though apparently you can just buy it?? There's a bar down the street from me that is famous for indie arcade cabinets, including Killer Queen Black and Nidhogg 2. Would recommend for anyone who's visiting Brooklyn!

    I loveee Nidhogg and there's a bar a block from me that has an actual Nidhogg 2 arcade cabinet which is excellent! (I might be doxxing my own location with this info but whatever)

    Very good timing on this post, I just got out of the theatre for Bi Gan's "Resurrection" and I don't think I've ever left the theatre more confused and intrigued. I never went to film school or took any type of art class, and I actually thought I'd go into the movie so I can practice my Mandarin listening.

    Instead I got a fascinating homage to cinema as a whole, throughout the ages, as well as exploring the five senses in a way that I've never seen before. I was incredibly confused for most of the movie, before finally kinda getting it by the last 3 sections, I really want to rewatch it. The camera work was amazing, the color work was incredible, and the sound was gorgeous.

    It does get into the pretentious side in some ways, imo, but honestly most of the parts of the movie were so well done that I didn't even mind at all.

    I'm really curious on if anyone's seen it/their thoughts (@cloud_loud maybe?)

    So because white supremacists want to kill minorities we should be okay with it because... we're better than them morally?

    @kfwyre if you're still down to donate here, do you think donating to Sick Kids while I donate to War Child Canada is acceptable?

    One of the OG games in this (non euclidean) space is Antichamber! It's pretty old but I'm surprised no one recommends it anymore

    Yeah it's crazy! I got really lucky and I think my credit card has exclusive access or something. When we went I actually bumped into Kumail Nanjiani! The food was amazing though, they actually did catering for a friend's Indian wedding which is why I knew of it.

    I'll add it to the list!! I've been eating my way through new york, Tonchin Brooklyn I had this Sunday and it was incredible

    I think I've just had emotional whiplash all year, and I'm really excited to leave it behind to be honest.

    The first few months I was forced to pretty much cut off a friend because of a situation involving another friend, I disagreed with how he handled the situation and it was egregious enough that I felt the need to cut him out. As a mutual friend said, "it's crazy that a guy can go from being considered on a groomsman line to not even being invited to the wedding". It still sucks. But I'm glad that I did it, at the very least I know that I respect my own values enough.

    Later in the year I fell in love. Then the relationship came crashing down. As did my mental health. But because of it I finally got on antidepressants and moved to New York so there's at least a silver lining.

    Finally a month or so ago I was terminated from my job. I was there for 4.5 years, and was hoping to get to at least 5. But it definitely sucked and I was thrown for a loop. Luckily for me, I was interviewing and exactly a week after getting let go I was hired to a better company, better position, better salary.
