Just back from seeing #Furiosa. It’s a very different film from #FuryRoad in structure and pacing (Fury Road is peak “chase movie”, Furiosa is an epic decades-spanning revenge tale) but it’s as visually sumptuous and audacious as anything Miller has ever directed. 100% worth seeing on a big screen while you can.
@reasie Zero disagreement! I kinda got western vibes from Furiosa that I didn’t from Fury Road, but for sure filtered through Miller’s Fury Road sensibilities.
@reasie Interestingly, I just watched a video with George Miller where he talks about the influences of westerns on the Mad Max films and says they’re basically “westerns with cars instead of horses”, so I guess the vibes I’m getting are reasonable. :-)
Maybe you wanted to give a talk at #PyConUS or one of our friends like #PyTexas, #PyCascades, or #NBPy but it didn't work out? Maybe you saw or learned something that got you inspired?
#PyOhio is coming in July, and our CFP is open for the next ~20 hours -- we'd LOVE to hear from you while we still can! We gladly welcome speakers of all experience levels (❤️ new folks!) and a wide array of topics -- if you're excited about something, share it!
With nearly 1000 talk proposals, there are plenty of amazing talks that #PyConUS couldn’t accept… luckily, the #PyOhio CFP is open! We’d love the chance to see if your idea is a fit for us.
Happily and safely arrived at #PyConUS ! Looking forward to learning a lot, catching up with folks, making new friends… and of course spreading the good news of #PyOhio!
Picked up #LittleKittyBigCity since I’m finally done with HZD and haven’t started BG3 yet… sadly not worth the money right now. It’s very cute, and the cat animations are especially good, but the controls are so janky that the main “be cat, do cat things” loop just doesn’t work. I had zero fun in the time I spent with it.
Hey, #gaming friends who are more with it than I am… I finally finished the game that was holding me back from starting #BaldursGate3, but I already feel choice paralysis about character creation. What classes have you enjoyed playing? Or if something wasn’t fun, what should I avoid?
I’ve played D&D since the 80s, but this will be my first BG game.
Witnessed an #aurora for the first time tonight. Magnificent! I commend the magnetosphere for its role in making this possible. A+, would marvel at the cosmos again.
