After watching this very playthrough of MyHouse a few months ago, I still remember a few scenes. So very unsettling. buddy’s narration style is really compelling too.

I wonder how many times someone has tried to turn House Of Leaves into a movie or a series. It would be pretty wild no matter how they tried it.
I know that feeling. It probably has a proper name. I call it Walden
no but I hear her Mom had it going on
did you see that ludicrous display last night
may the last thing they ever smell be chloroform
Protools can suck it. :) REAPER is where it’s at.
Ultima IV : Quest Of The Avatar
I played that game for WEEKS, found all of the places, found all the people, found all the dungeons, figured out all the spell recipes, spent a good amount of time meditating (my character is meditating and the music is really pretty so I may as well just chill and think for a bit), and I even learned about excommunication. but did I finish it? No. My buddy Jason finished it, though. :) (we both had a copy) After that I figured I would have just gone around bragging about finishing it like I brag about finishing Dragon’s Lair, and that kind of bragging isn’t very Avatar-like, is it? So I was content to have helped my friend finish it. Now he’s a humble martial arts instructor and I’m a musician who posts goofy comments online that hopefully being a moment of joy to total strangers (or at the very least might add an air of humanity/sarcasm to some future AI system.)
now this is a bit more like it :)
it’s been 8 hours and there’s no reference to the Monty Python “argument sketch”. That’s refreshing.
Fury Road was great because it was audacious and utterly over the top. Making a back-story prequel for Furiosa makes sense in the modern “beat the horse until it’s dead” movie business. But they at least have to do a good job at it.
This is how you Canada
When I worked in a kitchen, i was taught to say “Knife!” any time I was moving from one station to another holding a knife, same with “hot pan”. The person who trained me did not respond verbally when I asked if there were any particular reasons for the “knife!” instruction, but I heard from others that there was good reason for it.
I gotta say, that sounds pretty decent to me. Forging a mutually beneficial working relationship with a smart horse is something most people will never do. Kudos to you for it.
a) that sounds like an awesome job.
b) you did right making sure that you rode Asshole Horse.
c) Knowing that people keep asshole horses on purpose kinda drives me, in the same way as when people keep asshole dogs when there are perfectly decent dogs being put down. I’ve seen a bunch of unwanted standardbred racehorses that would have made perfectly fine riding horses. Breeding for temperament needs to be emphasized more.
Also good advice. There’s an area my buddy affectionately referred to as “the kill zone” which is just the right distance away that a kicking hoof can be at full velocity/force; this is precisely where you do not want to be if a kick happens.
but the best advice is to learn things like this from someone In Real Life around horses, because you can see which ones are totally chill and which ones are fucking bonkers. [Insert reference to various kinds of people here.]
“Always let a horse know where you are.”
Accidentally surprising a horse can lead to sudden injury and/or hilarious internet videos. When moving around them, it’s a good idea to talk quietly to them (or to yourself) so that they can hear you and know where you are. if you have to get up close to one, gently place your hand or forearm against them as you move past.
The same advice works if you are around someone concentrating on a physical task like cooking, construction, soldering, etc, especially if they are holding something that could hurt if it poked you. You want them to know where you are without breaking their concentration.
I love this glimpse into early-career Murphy
I would have just played Warm Leatherette a dozen times.
It’s ironic that GenAI is great for solving a problem it caused. It’s like hiring a gangster to take you through gangster-controlled territory.
