@nicreations @b_k_larson Now there's a name I've not heard in a long, long time.

Eastwood's movies seem to say that rather than it takes a good guy with a gun, the guy with the gun is always bad regardless of intentions.

[Alex Midgley @amijlee]

Unforgiven addresses things that are uniquely ignored in the Kirosawa/Leone revenge films. Things about how murder affects a person.

Working programmers need a computer science degree like a fish needs scuba gear.

I feel like Clint Eastwood's movies are where conservatives should be, maybe where mainstream GOP thinks they are.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space was a lot scarier when I was 11.

[Alex Midgley @amijlee]

The majority of Unforgiven is about "the gunslinger who stays calm enough to aim, wins." How many games are based around that? Most shooters allow a bunch of mistakes before a "headshot."

[Alex Midgley @amijlee]

Unforgiven makes a huge deal about the intent of actually aiming a gun to kill. I tried to make a roguelike base on that but failed miserably. Still haven't seen something evoking a similar feeling.

@glindsey I remember thinking that Bluetooth sounded useless. Short range, fairly low bandwidth, relatively high power usage.

I can buy 12 tons of frozen peas on alibaba. Probably too much?

[Alex Midgley @amijlee]

Amazon has a category of "Frozen Peas & Beans" which is mostly canned peas and dried beans.

@dhein1030 I'm watching Tom Baker era Doctor Who on Twitch and playing Slay the Spire. What are you doing up so late?
