Two come to mjnd:

Star Trek 2 - The Wrath of Khan.

Spock gives his life to save his friends, willingly and without pause. And his best friend has to say goodbye to him.

Of course, the first time I saw it I didn’t know what was coming next, so to me it was final, and devastating.

It prepared me well for things that happened IRL later on.

Secondly, because I don’t want to be 100% on a downer, the finale of Labyrinth. “You have no power over me” nudged me towards the idea that many people who profess to be in charge of you only have that power because they say they do. And you can take that back for yourself.

The final scene of Threads really fucked me up, I already had birth trauma and that scene gave me proper wake-up-screaming nightmares for months.

It also touched on the systemic oppression of the modern world, and showed how most people just go along with it … I was a young adult when it came out and that really shook up my word view.

That actually has fulfilled my morbid curiosity, thank you … also, there seems to be a lot of squeemish people around

One of my favourite sushi restaurants was run by Chinese people, but they put effort into making the place feel authentic

They closed down during covid, though :-(

Oh thank fuck

Yes. Yes you can.

Thank you for the tip :-)

Yup, one of the reasons Black Lagoon is now one of my favourite animés is that it neither involves school nor a magical alternative universe. It does revolve around a salaryman though … can’t win them all I guess :-/

Indeed, one of the reasons Love Lies Bleeding is my favourite movie is because it’s a romance between two people who are actually grown up (if not mature), they aren’t star-crossed lovers, and they both already know what they like in bed

Ah, ok :-)

KCD?

Oh yeah, playing The Last Of Us and some of the places looked like where I lived when I was homeless, lol

I’ve gone the other way, playing a game and thinking it looks like home (happened a bunch of times in Snowrunner)

What’s the crime, if I do a line? Time, choke, shoot it up, all at the same time?

Can’t speak for other people, but as a patient gamer it’s a combination of cost and longevity - I can get about 15 years out of a console.

I only upgraded from an original xbox to an xbox 360 because I found it in a dumpster (I did have to fix it and buy a controller, so it wasn’t ideal). My wife’s PS4 is now 11 years old and still works.

Not any more, for shame! (I don’t work for a government any more, it just says that for some reason)

Get yourself some HRT, that’ll fix you right up (if you want).

Source: menopausal, still horny. Enjoying it a LOT.

My security clearance certificate has me listed as a Government Agent.

This has always been my go-to :-)

If trashy lesbian romance counts as classic literature, then yes this is me at the moment - I have to by up for 4.30am every day :-/
