Didn’t know it was out, thanks! (Love the books)

Not much to it outside of trying to convey “perfect by RPG standards, tropes and parameters (probably)”, but failed to “hit” me in any way.

Watching it, I was expecting to see something akin to a Franchise movie, where you may miss a bit or two if you’re not in on all the lore. But I was also expecting true entertainment with striking visuals, gripping storytelling, stuff like that

Imagine watching a spy movie. 20% in you have adversarial hierarchy, 30% in the car chase, 66% in the romantic pause, 80% in the unexpected traitor, 95% in the final hand-to-hand fight to avert the end of the universe or whatever… And it’s boring, but everybody around you is telling you it was so great because it’s got it all, the car chase the traitor the, the.

Doesn’t make a good movie.

It is so absolutely, terrifyingly horrible, many thanks for sharing.

I’ll never look at beans the same way from now on. Heck, I’ll never look at my microwave the same way.

Which is precisely the problem: I am not, and not only was I mildly bored, I also found the narrative to be just plain incoherent. It was obvious to me the story was driven by some Reference Guide on RPG stuff, and not on captivating an audience.

I guess it hit every nail on the head. That’s all it hit, actually.

Seemingly a cooking show with industrial shit and a microwave, I don’t. It must be british, is it not?

I though you where not serious, but in doubt I had a look. TIL!

I paid for mine on r/hungryartists - I think it’s a cool drawing & I am happy with it.

That was a very, very long time ago of course.

From The Pink News

Sir Ian McKellen will open a brand new production of the Shakespeare classic Twelfth Night featuring all trans and non-binary performers.

The Lord of the Rings star, 86, will join in on the one-night only rehearsed reading by the theatre group Trans What You Will in July.

Staged at London’s The Space Theatre, the reading will be broadcast globally via a livestream. All profits are going to the UK-based trans charity, Not A Phase.

The performance will take one of Shakespeare’s most well known and gender-fluid works and reimagine it through a trans lens.

“With mistaken identities, cross-dressing, and declarations of love across shifting gender roles, Twelfth Night has long explored the complexity of identity,” a press release reads.

“This production makes that queerness explicit, reclaiming the story through the lived experiences of trans and nonbinary artists.”

Phoebe Kemp, who is directing, has said: “Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance, it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us. This reading is about joy, solidarity and showing what’s possible when trans and nonbinary artists are at the centre of the story.”

The performance, which will take place ahead of London Trans+ Pride, has also been billed as “a joyful act of protest and pleasure activism, celebrating gender diversity at a time when trans representation remains under threat.:

Twelfth Night – A Rehearsed Reading by Trans What You Will is set to take place on 25 July 2025 at The Space Theatre. Tickets to attend in person are available here. Tickets for the livestream are available here. Pay-what-you-can tickets are available.

Ben le chocolat est meilleur, eh. Pis souvent y’en a deux barres dedans, miam.

Certes je suis né au-delà des marches de l’Empire, là où le petit caporal posa à peine un petit orteil avant de se prendre une gigantesque baffe dans la gueule, mais par chez moi la question ne se pose pas. Il n’y a pas de débat, pas d’incertitude ; même pas de conscience de la possibilité d’une alternative.

C’est une couque au chocolat, quoi.

Mon médecin vient officiellement de m’interdire le Dessert 58

On a le droit de basvoter? Je demande pour un ami. Courtoizement et Pauliment, bien sûr.

Mouaip on pourrait contre-chipoter que tout ça est suisse de toute façon, à travers rachats et holdings.

Un truc qui m’intrigue c’est pourquoi la suisse ? La Belgique, avec son (monstrueux) passé colonial, avait évidemment accès au cacao mais qu’est-ce qui a pris au suisses de s’y mettre ? C’est quoi l’économie d’un pays sans port maritime qui se met à se faire une spécialité d’un import aussi tordu ? On y pond du fromage (on le fond occasionnellement, beurk), on y importe du deutschemark, on y étale des cimes sur des cartes postales mais le chocolat ??

Y aurait-il un rapport avec le secret bancaire ? Un complot international d’évasion de sucreries ?

Arch Linux on Dell 7389 : just works. Also had OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on this machine, best installer ever.

Debian on Thinkpad X390 Yoga : with included variable-pressure pen, the touchscreen is actually a wacom tablet, perfect. Also, one if the best installer there is.

Ubuntu on Thinkpad T480s : just works. Installing Ubuntu today is literally just a couple of clicks. Wife hasn’t complained in 3 years, this distro must be doing it right.

(Everything Gnome here, no additional setup whatsoever. The KDE gang will argue that Plasma has a lot of goodies for touchscreens, be sure to check it out)
