The Ugly Stepsister - gory parts have stayed with me in the days since

Neighbourhood Watch - like comfort food

It was weird... Nice visuals and I enjoyed thinking about the concept once all was revealed, but narratively it was a bit weak and the actions of several characters don't really make sense to me in context. It was enjoyable as like a super-extended flylo music video lol

Prevent piracy? They've literally just created another legitimate use case for homebrew. This will cause piracy

I thought Gommage was OP lol, never even tried Stendhal

It would previous help me to regulate my appetite, helping with my comorbid binge eating disorder. I could get dopamine from smoking weed that I'd otherwise get from food. Of course, I'd usually get it from both, but having a good time stoned was definitely a fun thing for me that'd reduce my general cravings for other stimulation. But the meds are more effective (and specifically kill appetite as a side effect)

Weed. Had to quit for an extended family holiday. I've had t-breaks like that a dozen times or so over the past 20 years, but was otherwise smoking daily. When I got home last September, I smoked a couple of bowls I had left behind and then just... stopped.

I don't really have much to say about it. I don't feel significantly clearer-headed or motivated. No profound physiological impact. Same as when I took breaks from it, had super weird and vivid dreams for a short while after stopping.

I'll partake when I'm offered a doobie at a party, but I probably won't go back to my old habits.

I think the reason I stopped is because I started taking (non-stimulant) ADHD meds a couple years back and the increase in dopamine made me just not feel like it anymore.

You might be right, but basically everyone is expecting there to be significant features of MKW which are as yet unannounced but will be featured in the upcoming Nintendo direct which is focused on that game specifically.

There is certainly an argument to be made about DLC cost being included upfront (and Zelda was already $90 on Switch 1 including the DLC) to avoid splitting up the player base for a game with an online focus. That might not be what they're doing, but my point is there are things they could do to justify the price increase for many players.

They also might just do nothing more than what's already been announced, but I doubt it because why then would they do another reveal later?

Fair enough. I think it subverts the genre tropes enough to keep it interesting. More so than The Boys for example.

Plus I still get plenty revved up over a good action sequence featuring an indie band I like, like Amyl & The Sniffers (whom it seems Black Mirror just discovered as well)

It can be funny as like a case study in emotional manipulation by producers.

And then you realise people actually are gullible enough not to see through it and it's not funny anymore.
