Civil War (2024) Director: Alex Garland
  • I primarily mean from the onset, this movie ends one of two ways. It literally hands us Chekov's Camera. It tried to subvert it by going with the ending they gave us. And it's a weak ending. What happens to Offerman's character is the whole point of the distancing ourselves through the lens of journalism and doesn't interest me as much as what happens to the characters we've been following since the beginning of the movie.

  • I've noticed. My damage is nowhere near as effective within the first few encounters. But I've learned not to take it so seriously. Bad boon buckets happen. Grab the best I can, go as far as I can. Repeat. I need to check some guides on which synergies work best so I can keep an eye out for those while I get more ambrosia for keepsakes.

  • I haven't because I suck at games like this but I've already gotten further than I had before. Consistently getting to Elysium but getting bad boon rolls really hurts. But the music, writing, and art style keep me interested. Especially with the sequel on the horizon. I know it's in early access right now, but I can wait.

  • TIL that famous Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky was gay.
  • This is the biggest reason he wasn't allowed "membership" with Russia's Mighty Five that was made up of Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Cui, and Balakirev. They would claim that Tchaikovsky's works weren't Russian enough. That he was too heavily influenced by Western European composers. The joke is on them. Tchaikovsky is pretty much a household name and most people know his works even if they don't know the title or his name.

    Here's his violin concerto that he composed for his student/lover
