    Plot wise it was interesting and thought provoking, and RobPat did an amazing job so I liked it regardless!

    I should probably watch Euphoria at some point but it never super interested me. I did think she was a bit better in The Drama but at the same time you can still see that little "too cool" style. The younger Emma was definitely more fun to watch. Part of me was wondering if I was overvaluing range in what makes an actor great, but I honestly think it's still important.

    I finally got to watch The Drama last night, and I thought it was really good. Robert Pattinson ran away with it and Zendaya did really good too. Really loved the central conflict and that it was kinda thought provoking and morbidly funny at the same time.

    I was coming out of the theater with my friend last night though and I was wondering, has Zendaya ever been considered an amazing actress? Maybe it's because I haven't watched Euphoria but I feel like she plays the same character every time I see her on screen. Don't get me wrong, I really like her a lot and I've enjoyed a lot of the movies I've seen with her in it, but not because of her.

    Humble's 15th anniversary apparently is around now, and they actually put out a really good bundle (imo)
    Celeste is my favorite game, and I really loved Superhot and Risk of Rain Returns. Bloodstained, Starbound, Slime Rancher, the Witness, and Citizen Sleeper are all excellent. Make sure you adjust your sliders!

    I'm wondering if Discord is angling to be bought by Microsoft? I know they're trying to IPO or something so maybe not but it seems like a thing that can happen.

    I feel like furious is a very strong word, haha. I feel like they're gonna make more so it's not a huge deal right? Not like it changes everything immediately.

    I spent my weekend playing Riftbound in many TCG shops around NYC! The new release is on Friday and I'm on a work trip in Florida so I had to get all my games in early unfortunately. The new Legends are pretty interesting, and I think the Ambush mechanic might be a bit too strong but we'll see! I'm trying to build a Pyke deck so we'll see what I can open.

    I'm guessing you're joking but isn't HUNK the name of the military unit rather than just one guy?

    I agree with that. It was really disappointing to open up a thread and basically have the top comment be simping for a trillion dollar company.
