And it was made just for me :)

Smart Audiobook Player +1 such a good, feature complete app.

Really? I’m super curious what made you feel this way. I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by it compared to Flanagan’s other series’.

100% agree with you. Loved the first half and was really let down by the 2nd.

The only other show that’s given me similar vibes to the 1st half of Frieren was Violet Evergarden. Not so much for the content but in the melancholic, beautiful-yet-bittersweet vibes the whole show gives off.

I think that show greatly benefitted from the limited runtime though and would have suffered if they’d tried to push it out to Frieren length.

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.

We’ve been using QGIS at my company for almost 8 years at this point and I really love it. The python integration and deep plugin repository render it head and shoulders above ESRI. Although I admit for enterprise solutions many will still require the turn-key solutions esri offer.

I agree but my friends keep facilitating my addiction because I always give loaves away and now they’ve stopped buying bread too. Help 😭

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell comes to mind. A Jesuit priest is the only survivor of a first-contact flight to an alien world and returns horribly disfigured in mind and body and refuses to talk about what happened. We slowly learn what happened to everyone as the story unfolds. Great SF novel and not religious, although it explores religion.

You’ve got be joking right? The most influential, most loved, most well regarded fantasy trilogy of all time is not a good story actually? I get that it wasn’t your style for whatever reason but to call it bad storytelling is just asinine.

Haha, I have no idea why it is so unheard of. Absolutely floored me the first time I saw it years ago and I’ve come back to it at various times in my life and gotten different things out of it each time. Such a gem of a film.

Haven’t seen The Best of Youth but I’ll put it on my list right next to Satantango 😉.

A few I don’t see getting mentioned much:

• 3-Iron
• The Seventh Continent
• Hausu
• The Lives of Others
• Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
• Spoorloos

Hell yeah! Ritual by him is also wonderful.

Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!

Very US centric take. I’d be curious to see how Dubai or Singapore stack up in terms of energy consumption per capita compared to large cold-climate cities. Everything is air conditioned and there is so much enclosed space because being outside sucks so bad.
