I personally disagree that the original is best. It's high up there, but I think some of the later titles have improvements that eek out the #1 spot.

I'm a fan of the "piece swap" feature, and later games have polished the piece lock over the original. Tetris 99 was the sweet spot for games that I've played.

A TV Show (or cartoon) based around Among Us, feels like they missed the boat on Among Us popularity.

Then again, I loved Infinity Train, wish the show wasn't cut short by Zaslav's budget cuts. I could see Among Us being similar to The Thing (one of my favorite horror movies), i think there's a chance it's a good show

Totally. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I really enjoyed The Matrix 4 for this reason.

The movie had some significant issues (wtf was that Merovingian fight?), but I loved the world building both in the matrix and in the real world.

Thank you. I've found one of the communities with the search functionality.

You're awesome tho!

This is the same (based) judge that previously ruled that the GAC ban for minors was unconditional.

The new ruling overturns the part of the ban that restricted Medicaid funding for going to GAC for adults.

Does anyone know what parts of the bill are still active? I'm guessing the requirement for informed consent is still required, but I don't know what else

When I read Hitchhiker's Guide, I pronounced it b'tell-jew-EEss

Currently in Florida, don't have immediate plans to move. My mother-in-law is recently widowed, so we want to stay close.

I'm trans, but I also live with a lot of personal privilege (well paying job with non-state insurance, white, married, liberal city, no kids, haven't faced direct discrimination). The particular set of laws that Florida has passed are limited in how they affect me.

That's not to say i don't care -- I'm actually livid with my state government. Many of my trans/queer friends have rightly left the state already, but I personally can stay around for longer to push back as I can

I've spoken to my brother in Illinois, and if worse comes to worse, i have somewhere I can go if Florida becomes unlivable

Action games and adventure games used to be two separate genres, ~~but their similarities caused people writing magazine articles to group them together, under a single term "action-adventure"~~ but they were often grouped together. You can think of it as "either or", rather than some weird neologism

[Edit: i can't back up the statement that they were merge by magazine writers, that's just where i first saw them merged]

I haven't seen some of his earlier movies, but Denis Villeneuve has made some of my favorite recent movies, including Arrival

I also am a huge fan of the Wachowskis, loved Cloud Atlas, Sense8, and Speed Racer. Only movie i didn't really enjoy was Jupiter Ascending, but even then, there were aspects i still liked

I don't think it makes a "good story", but my parents have accepted me.

My uncle is an established child psychology reaearcher (had been "chief psychologist" and "assistant director" at multiple children's hospitals. When I came out, they reached out to my uncle to ask for advice (especially for how sudden it appeared to them, when it was literally since I was a young teen for me), which he basically replied "if [dead name] is talking to you about this, it's something they've been dealing with for a long time". I think this helped them a lot

My parents took some time to come to terms with my transition. They struggled with my new name and using the right pronouns, but they put in the work, and we have a fairly solid relationship now. We were never super close (still aren't), but I have no qualms giving them a call sometimes, or spending holidays with them.
