Wed May 03 00:13:59 +0000 2023I think I might be stuck on the second level of Gobliiins 5 because of a bug, but it feels like a pretty fun game nonetheless. Lots of signature Goblins touches including a fairly awkward English translation. About the only thing missing is the "I can't do that" animations.

He's looking for someone to handle platforms like Steam and GOG, and I guess also maybe combining the game into something that's not 4 separate AGS executables with their own setup each.

Thu May 11 20:37:46 +0000 2023Watched a doc about the making of Kids (1995) featuring a bunch of bit part kids from the movie. As with everything Kids-related, it's a big off. They all agree that they've been exploited for the movie & they undoubtedly were. Nice to see them as adults w/ kids of their own tho.
Thu May 11 20:56:58 +0000 2023Replying to @dosnostalgic
However, the movie also leans into that the people who actually got famous (besides Cark and Korine) done so because they were cast as the leads. I don't buy that. Leo Fitzpatrick is hardly an A-lister. Rosario Dawson is by far the most famous, & she's in the movie for one scene.
Thu May 11 21:00:28 +0000 2023Replying to @dosnostalgic
Larry Clark always came off as a creep, and this doc doesn't really do him any favors. Neat to see the kids together in photos & video footage when they were a group of friends hanging out in NYC, before the movie happened.

Ovekill, cost, and also some of those things expect 100% spec compatibility, so a modern CPU with a different instruction set could would introduce a lot of issues. But this way you can take out an old broken PC that has been used to run it for 35 years, and replace it w/ a card.

As someone who had Vista running on multiple machines for over a decade, I disagree. This also isn't about the OS, but the hardware specs.
Mon May 15 21:49:03 +0000 2023Windows Vista was perfectly fine. Not sure why everyone acts like it killed their parents or something. Most features it introduced that people bitched about became a complete norm and are present in every subsequent version, and everyone is fine and happy with them.
Mon May 15 21:56:04 +0000 2023Replying to @dosnostalgic
About the only really legislate complaint at the time was Vista's ungodly system requirements. But now we live in a world where it's perfectly acceptable for an idling OS or a browser with 1 tab open to just eat a gig of ram, so 🤷.

Sat May 20 20:03:44 +0000 2023A kind soul sent me the American version of Luc Besson's 1988 film "The Big Blue," one of my biggest guilty pleasures. I've never seen this version before. It's 50 minutes shorter than the extended cut, has a tacked on happy ending, and is completely rescored by Bill Conti.
Sat May 20 23:54:23 +0000 2023Replying to @dosnostalgic
Before I was under an impression that they had Conti rescore the film because the edit must have been very different. But that turned out not to be the case! Now I'm really not sure why this happened. Both scores are synth. 🤷♂️ Here's a comparison:
Sun May 21 00:33:46 +0000 2023Replying to @dosnostalgic
The choice is doubly confusing because Conti very clearly uses Serra's score as a guide, and occasionally even reuses motifs from it. Why was this somehow necessary for American audiences?!
Sun May 21 00:51:10 +0000 2023Replying to @dosnostalgic
Anyway, Serra's score for the film is pretty damn amazing. I'm not sure why some people swear by Conti's version, but I'm just gonna assume it's probably because of nostalgia for what they saw first.

I second the sentiment, but Sonnenfeld didn't direct porn. He was a DP on a porn set for a total of NINE days during which nine separate porn movies have been shot. A bunch of cinematographers started out in porn back in the day, if they lived in NY or LA.

This promo shot (unlike the others) has a 9 bricks wide playing field, which is against the Tetris™ standards.

You can still buy many of the classic "Brick Game" handheld variants that are so despised by Alexey just about anywhere where you can buy any kind of electronics.

I'd be equality shocked to discover either of the possibilities:
- Alexey officially approved one of those stock boards.
- A brand new board was actually manufactured to comply with all the official Tetris regulations.
