the dog park. i can think and also cheer myself up simultaneously. Have you ever seen a French bulldog chasing a ball? It’s so comedic.

You ever heard of the board game diplomacy?

Report Comment



I hadn’t heard of it, no. It sounds fun, but I think it might be wishful thinking to assume I could find multiple people to play it with me in person… have you played it?

by sookie; ; Report

I've only played one full game to completion out of the two full games I've pulled together. I've also played a few smaller games to completion. It's good fun, but such a struggle to get people to put 6-8 hours aside at the same time. I brought it up because I'm considering starting a spacehey diplomacy game where we'd play maybe a turn a week and I wanna gauge interest.

New semester just started. I like most of my classes. Uhh. My irl friends got jealous of spacehey movie club and have started an irl movie club, instead of just joining spacehey. I've been working on digitizing some family cookbooks. Hmm.

It depends on how many Harrison Ford films are involved.

so far, none. But that is subject to change.

I think we can come to some kind of agreement here, then.

Have you seen the man in the high castle show?

Report Comment



I haven’t, do you recommend it? I must be honest… it wasn’t my favourite book.

by sookie; ; Report

thr first two seasons are excellent and then the last two seasons use your investment as a hostage while they force you to undergo waterboarding. I wish I could only recommend half of the show.

by Fawkes; ; Report

Well, I have abandoned shows midway through for less. I’ll give it a go until I tire of it.

SONATINE SONATINE SONATINE

by Fawkes; ; Report

I just finished watching it (since I hadn’t before & wanted to be able to give some kind of opinion). I found it to be a really interesting & surreal exploration of monotony/desensitisation. With the odd pacing & discordant lightheartedness it felt like watching some kind of absurd yakuza summer camp film. I also very much appreciated it visually; the use of framing to imbue comedy into small deadpan moments was enough to make me laugh at essentially nothing (literally every time it cut to a scene between Ken & Ryoji in the first half was hilarious to me). Possibly more thoughts to come? I’m still ruminating over the ending. A fascinatingly bright approach to such a bleakly existential narrative.

by sookie; ; Report

ps thank you for the ?indirect recommendation

by sookie; ; Report

in the two years that i've been trying to sell people on this masterpiece—and, more often than not, failing—this has been the most satisfying response, bar none. greatly, immensely happy to hear it and fully agreed on every last point (down to the ken/ryoji segments being gold; i still think about their dumb nakano convo every once in a while).

considering i have nothing of substance to add, since it'd effectively just be repeating something from your review one way or another, i'll instead double-rec for his second strongest film, hana-bi. it's not quite as thought-provokingly and affectionately monotone, i feel, but it is a wonderfully crafted piece of art all the same. if you enjoyed how sonatine was set up, cinematically / aesthetically / what-have-you, i have a good feeling that you'll find hana-bi to be just as pleasant and attention-grabbing.

by Ikoe; ; Report

Double vouch for hana-bi. It's my favorite between the two.

by Fawkes; ; Report

I will certainly add hana-bi to my watchlist, at the recommendation of you both.

If I’m being honest, i have no clue how my profile looks on a browser because I lost my laptop charger and haven’t replaced it yet. So it’s entirely possible something is janky.

really it was just introduced to me in high school by a friend, and i enjoyed the lore/world so much that i kept playing. all by chance.

by sookie; ; Report

Fun. You have any interest in getting into any other settings?

by Fawkes; ; Report

i would surely try recommendations! provided i could run the game on my laptop…

by sookie; ; Report

Here are some recommendations covered by youtubers whose opinions I like.
https://youtu.be/jH5HsoAVEk8
https://youtu.be/UBN5k6WoG-s Theif is a stealth game first and foremost, so don't play it if that's a turn-off
https://youtu.be/HeK36g92zjo This one is known for being really hard to get into, but at it's core it's almost a philosophical experience.
https://youtu.be/pqOHdY8OXfs Started as a skyrim mod
https://youtu.be/3y3yYmfINrY Probably very different from anything you've ever played, but super interesting
https://youtu.be/gZ5KzvW4Bys I don't know all that much about this game, but I head wonderful things about it.

an “experience” is an apt way of describing it in itself. what a weird and wonderful corner of the internet, i have met very special people. And you?

Have you read the sexual politics of meat? And if so, would you recommend it to a cis man who has no intention to stop eating meat?

I shouldn’t compile an extensive PowerPoint presentation of sparknotes for you, then?

by sookie; ; Report

I mean, if it's recommended, I plan to read the book. Honestly my deal is that I've only heard good things about the book from people who are feminist and vegan, so as someone who does not plan to become vegan, I can't really use their recommendations as a good way to gauge if the book is still worth a read from a feminist but non-vegan perspective.

by Fawkes; ; Report

you’re in luck! i am a non-vegan who reads for the sake of being introduced to diverse ideas. the perfect candidate.
