i appreciate this and I agree. There is a lot there about platonic dude friendships. Patriot also in its first ten eps passed the Bechdel Test, which is a low fucking bar. Two different female leads from different angles of the story confronted and befriended each other. There was so much more story to be made from that, but it was worlds better than typical tv writing.

lmao LA Confidential cast a shadow underneath Miller's Crossing

"The USA needs my pee?"

 

#Patriot# is a show about a covert spy dude from the u.s. who is very depressed, and a quiet folk singer, and unusually adept at violence. His task is to get hired undercover at a Milwaukee industrial piping firm so he can do spy shit in Luxembourg and Iran. They managed two 10-episode story arcs out of this, and I love it.

Fantastic ensemble cast, fantastic writing, fantastic cinematography, fantastic soundtrack, often annoyingly quirky in silly ways, and dark because the characters' actions have consequences.

also, Terry O'Quinn (Lost) in this is calm and weird and creepy.

#Perpetual Grace, LTD# Classic pastiche of scammers screwing up in a silly, morbid scheme in a lot of pretentious, but well-done, acting and noir-ish cinematography.

edit forgot to add: Jimmi Simpson, aka Liam McPoyle from It's Always Sunny, is the lead

Cut from the same insanity as Patriot, with many of the same creators and actors. A bit more annoyingly quirky. If you don't like Patriot, you probably won't like this.

if you remember, a criticism of Breaking Bad was that scenes in Mexico were always kinda sepia-toned... this just has weird tones, sometimes in Mexico.

Both have Steven Conrad as one of the principal creators/writers/directors, or some combination thereof. He wrote Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which is even more silly, but not too far off.

this person is a grifter who travels to and fro in an RV, collecting donations, as one does, but she claims to be the literal Queen of Canada. Qanon Anonymous is my main source, but I can't find a good link that isn't patreon-walled. But it's a cool podcast.

no one has forgotten that Windows is the most popular. who cares. you're the one yelling about windows on mobile platforms and it is the best shit ever. I still think linux is better, but it's debatable. this is like arguing with my grandpa after he got DOS 6.0 in a box, on 3.5" disks. He thought he was the most clever of fellows. Fuck him.

i'm comfortable with windows and with linux. the hardware in all these things is interesting. so you want to go with proprietary software. love you for it.

i meant I've never physically been near one of these things, specifically the Steam Deck or its competitors.

 You’re not on many gaming forums then, especially not PC ones.

yeah, I'm not. i build my own, but i don't need that toxic silly trash.

The cops are the fascists, and in every protest support them

Wait, i read that again, and that didn't make sense, and i hate ambiguity. let's be clear: fuck the fascists. if the cops are fascists, fuck em,

i haven't even personally seen any of these things. so no, I literally can't handle that. i'm also very annoyed buy steam and valve, in general. but windows? windows is the worst.

so you're a windows stan, or what's your deal?

I want that spicy, chunky chili. but windows brings bugs and ads. windows is like getting eat up by mosquitos while the chili is thin and tepid.

 

Not bad, creepy and weird, i suggest you watch the whole thing before you recommend it to your Ireland obsessed folks
