The Curse of the Golden Idol was released in 2022, but could probably run on my microwave. It's a brilliant little detective game inspired by The Return of the Obra Dinn. Highly recommended.

Another detective game from 2022 I loved that's similarly untaxing on hardware was Strange Horticulture. You run a horticulture shop in a Victorian-y fantasy land where strange things are happening...

Both under 8 hours to complete.

Q is going to go public with it any day now, just you wait.

Can't speak to overall issues, and haven't watched it since it originally aired, but there was somewhat infamous friction between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi, to the point where they would not appear in a scene with each other. The scene in the final episode (or near it, I don't exactly remember) in which they appear together at the bar is assembled from separately shot footage.

I think it mostly suffered from the standard network TV show issue of not having a real plan beyond "as many episodes as possible".

He's threatening in a way that Anthony Hopkins never could be (and to be fair, in a way he never tried to be). He's physically imposing to go with the mental acuity. Absolutely superb.

Hopkins is fantastic in the role, and deserves the plaudits, but like you, I feel like Mikkelson inhabited the role like nobody else has.

Disastrous space-leader or disastrous-space leader?

Journey.

Sometimes I well up just thinking about it, let alone listening to it. Wonderful.

Her head is on his left shoulder, if that helps it pop into place for you.

I initially thought this was a gag on how people having their photo taken back the had to sit still for a long time...

But no, just jpg...

Only Americans ever think these are the right tool for the job. If you guys want to keep your trucks that kill people at an incredibly outsized rate, fire away. But they are a plague that most Europeans rightly want to keep out.

In the 30+ year old words of Bill Hicks:

They believe the bible is the exact word of God - Then they change the bible! Pretty presumptuous, huh? "I think what God meant to say..."
