  1. SpaceVenture came out on the 1st. It's the "spiritual successor" to the Space Quest games, from the two guys who originally started the SQ series and... and...well...the kickstarter was in 2012. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374960/SpaceVenture/ As others have said, they made 5-6 SQ games in less time it took than to get this one out the door (or at least in Early Access) but they had health issues and financial issues (I think they stopped getting paid and Ken Williams stepped in to help). If you backed it, check your email for the Steam key.
  2. What about those of us who are not......good at math.
  3. Holy shit, you'r not kidding, their markets are down 5-10% with most of them towards the 10% side. And our futures aren't looking hot. And we all saw it coming.
  4. Thunderbolt doesn’t matter at those speeds unless you are doing some seriously heavy film editing or FX work. I currently have an M2 MBA (15-inch) with 24GB memory, and a 2TB drive ( I paid the Apple tax but got it refurbed so it was not as painful), running Windows 11 ARM under Parallels, and it’s fantastic (no heavy games, but all my Windows apps and games run like a breeze and barely ramp up the CPU). I do wish I had just waited and gotten the 14-inch Pro with 32GB because it would have given me some breathing room, plus extra ports, but I get by just fine. If it’s in the budget, get the Pro for the cores, but no matter what, get 32GB at least. If your games run fine under Parallels now on the Intel machine, they should run even better under Windows 11 ARM on an M4 or M4 Pro. Check Apple’s refurb store (bottom of the Apple.com website). They have same warranty and I’ve never had a problem.
  5. Jim Cramer is calling for it…so bullshit? https://nypost.com/2025/04/06/us-news/cnbc-host-jim-cramer-warns-of-black-monday-market-crash-over-trump-tariffs/
  6. This is making the rounds of the socials. Black Monday talk. For the financial historians, any accuracy to it?
  7. I don’t know of any movie recently where kids are asking to go with their friends like the Minecraft movie. Dogman, a few. But nothing else in years.
  8. So it seems like the first teaser or whatever really tweaked some of the purist types, but the last trailer or two won them over, plus word of mouth from the YouTubers who saw sneak previews and who were actually in it. And they are going to be pissed if there’s not a sequel because the last scene with Steve meeting Alex got them going.
  9. Minecraft is still insanely popular right now. I remember blowing it off when it came out many years ago, but here we are in 2025 and my middle schooler and his friends are running their own servers, spending birthday money on Hypixel, playing after school with each other, etc. and then there are all of the Lego arts, the other toys etc.
  10. Tell me you’ve never been around high school athletic events in Texas, without telling me you’ve never been around high school athletic events in Texas.
  11. It’s not quite the sequel I wanted, but it’ll hit the streaming platform within a year of release so I’ll watch.
  12. You’re confusing Superman with Batman.
  13. So we went and saw it, and while my middle-schooler who plays Minecraft like crazy had reservations from the first trailer, he absolutely loved the movie. Naming the kid Henry was brilliant, I think my kid knows about half-a-dozen Henrys in middle school. It’s like the Chris or Michael or Jason from my childhood. I don’t know if Momoa carried it, but he had the biggest character arc and he was great
  14. My 60s folk music education consists of liking Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul, and Mary because we had to do it in elementary and because there was an animated movie or something. Would I like Dylan?
  15. We are partnered with them whether you want to or not - the computer or tablet or phone you typed that on had a lot of components made by Chinese companies. Let's not kid ourselves, they are willing to use children, and we all know that children are much more adept at assembling small things because of their small fingers.
  16. How about the taxpayers don't pay their hospital bills and if they somehow have health insurance, they aren't lumped in with our coverage?
  17. Naming a town in Texas "Lone Star" is lazy as fuck, unless it's the corporate HQ for Lone Star beer.
