The Dark Crystal is a good scary movie for kids. The movie that got me scared as a kid was a Ernest Scared Stupid. I can’t explain why, that movie scared the shit out of me. After that it was watching The Relic.

I dunno what OP’s daughter was watching that wasn’t ‘scary enough’ but going straight to The Descent was a terrible idea.

It kind of looks like the road may have been resurfaced. The curbs at the bottom of the pillars look a little taller in the second picture.

I feel like Trump would have his blood scrubbed nightly to prevent just that kind of thing.

I don’t love that this happens, but because I was in those trenches for many years I like to make my holiday shopping trips as pleasant as possible for the retail workers. I’ll try to take up as much time with them as I can just shooting the shit and helping them relax a little or giving them knowing looks whenever some asshole engages them.

It’s like on-the-job therapy.

It was Dusty. Dusty finally gave up the ghost a few months ago and we haven’t been able to replace him yet.

Best named Iron Chef ever.

For real, what happened with that whole family of creators? I haven’t watched any of them in over 10 years.

I kind of love Starkiller’s story, including the fact that his actions were so instrumental to forming the Rebel Alliance that they took his family crest as their sigil. That’s badass.

Have you watched any of Star Wars Visions? I’m curious what you think about them.

On a related side note, my favorite Star Wars stories were always the ones from the Anthology ‘Tales from…’ books.

Pronounced “shitter”, I assume

A lot of show models in stores are wall mounted these days, saves on space (especially at places like Walmart and Target where they sell smaller sizes). That’s being said, though, it doesn’t take much to look under a wall-mounted TV to figure it where the foot(s) go.

Not to mention that the reboot is basically being scrapped and redone because the original creative team was “released”.

I wish I could get into WoW again but I don’t have the time required and the game is not really built to play solo. Now I watch videos and read everything I can just to be a part of that universe.

Yep. The single-player campaign is available for everyone, but the people who pre-ordered got to play it a week early.

The shortness of the campaign could be a contributed to a couple factors: there were rumors that MW3 started off life as DLC for MW2; the game developer Sledgehammer Games had come out and said they were initially tasked with developing Advanced Warfare 2 (I think) but that project was cancelled and they pivoted to MW3 and got that completed in 18 months.

Either way, the campaign is a big disappointment. Multiplayer seems to be getting enjoyed by a lot of people, though. Haters gonna hate.

Early Access to the single player campaign is a pre-order bonus.

Deriving the Formula.

I feel like not having any underwear may be outside of the norm but I don’t think it’s super weird. Maybe just regular weird.

That’s a good point.

That’s true, but according to the Dev Google is cracking down on devs having two versions of an app (i.e. a basic ad-supported version and a pro ad-free version) and I believe if you want an app on the Google store it has to have to ad code in it. That last part I’m not sure if that only applies to apps that will have ads in them.

Connect for Lemmy was pretty good but Sync for Lemmy feels like home.
