I haven’t kept up to date with comics in a couple years, but I love the initiative! Thanks for sharing your picks, I see some stuff I’ll have to check out.

Fantastic! Didn’t know they did an episode on him, I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Wow, had to check this one was real, and jokes on me it’s still up on his Twitter, complete with him stubbornly defending himself against everyone telling him he’s nuts. How did the Dilbert guy lose his mind so completely?

My sci-fi unpopular opinion is that Primer wasn’t a very good movie. Didn’t do anything very interesting or new imo, but maybe I missed something? It’s just an out of order time travel situation, right?

I think context is very important when judging 2001: A Space Odyssey. It came out before we landed on the moon and got a lot about space travel and the moon scientifically correct. (Space being silent, weightlessness, artificial gravity, etc…) Kubrick even consulted with Carl Sagan about what alien life would be like: initially he wanted to go with a Star Trek style humanoid alien, and Sagan said it would probably be incomprehensible to us, hence the LSD ending. The special effects were absolutely groundbreaking for the time and still hold up today. If it seems boring now, it’s because it has had such a huge influence on everything that came after it.

Epic is great for free games. Check back around mid December they give away games every day with AAA games on Christmas and New Year. Stuff like GTA5 and CIV6.

AFAIK, you can play the base game for free, no subscription needed. That said, there is a subscription that buys you a better user experience, and once you run out of content you’ll have to purchase the expansions.
