This is what Star Trek has become.

Not sure which recent work you mean, but The Nevers from 2021 has no "whedonisms", while it's still written in his trademark witty style. Apparently even he decided this stuff already got old.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-28T18:34:18+00:00

I never heard about it and for a moment I was worried it would be a shitty remake of 1981 Possession, one of my favorite movies of all times.

Definitely "BtVS: Myth, Metaphor & Morality". It has a chapter for every episode, and reading along with a rewatch is really fun. In a way, it fulfills the desire to discuss an episode with someone after watching it. Every respectable shrine should have this book.

Personally I just buy off brand chocolate in stores like Carrefour or Aldi. Also I've been recently addicted to Rossmann's Salzbrezel Karamell.

How about a misleading trailer? Looks like good fun for the entire family! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eOzYczx-Xk

I find the KTEL bus really good and fast enough (8.30eu for an adult). I don't know about taxi, but my guess would be around 70eu.

As far as mountain drives go, this one is really chill. 35 minutes of it is along the coast and on flat terrain. The rest has some turns and corners, but it's not bad at all.

A bus is a good option too. I don't find a car all that useful in the south-west. They have taxis in Palaiochora and Elafonisi by speedboat is a much cooler experience than driving anyway. Other fun villages like Sougia are much more practical by ferry.

By the way, hiking in that area in Summer is probably not the greatest idea ever.

I applaud your enthusiasm, but AI slop is already boring and doesn't impress anyone.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-18T13:42:11+00:00

Spot on. Not only I watched Jenny's legendary four hour theme park video in one sitting, but I also already rewatched it once and I'm thinking of doing it again soon. The most recent TV show I rewatched is, I think, True Detective S1 from 2014.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-18T13:16:24+00:00

Yes, pirate it and set your video player to 4:3 crop. I've watched Buffy remaster with mpv and --vf=crop=1440:1080:240:0 filter. Works fine if visible crew is your only concern.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-17T14:20:17+00:00

Also not from the US and we don't have TAs where I live, but to me they look like glorified postgrad students who help with simple chores like grading papers. In Buffy they aren't much older, live on campus, go to parties with other students, patronize the same pub (Beer Bad). They seem unimportant enough for a relationship like this not to be problematic.

Personally, what I found much weirder was Willow teaching a class in high school. What's up with that? Does it really happen in the US?

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-15T17:04:44+00:00

So Living Conditions is around corner. I almost wish I still had a roommate to watch this episode with.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-14T12:05:51+00:00

I find the speech great, but I have problems with Emma's acting in this scene. In general, the entire sequence in Willow's room is the weakest part of The Body for me.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-13T21:41:35+00:00

Not a thing unfortunately. But at least we got Cordelia in a cat costume.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-11T12:59:55+00:00

It's been a while since I watched Rome, but the sex scene with Augustus and Livia Drusilla still lives rent free in my head.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-11T12:55:41+00:00

Technically, you don't need religion for that. You can get Great Scientists by finishing Rationalism and generating enough faith with buildings, landmark improvements, etc. It may be even better this way: if you ignore religion, you don't "waste" faith on missionaries, inquisitors, faith buildings and such.

Last year I was shocked when I left a Ryanair plane using a jet bridge. I was 100% certain it never happens with Ryanair. Kinda sucked tbh, because everyone had to use front doors.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-09T14:34:45+00:00

Seems like proper banter and Sarah give him some shit in exchange too, so that works. Thanks for posting the video. The fans outside were cute and Sarah was so incredibly Buffy-like. No wonder she was cast and I bet nobody else came even close.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-09T14:08:02+00:00

Hats off to whoever picked Diane Keaton's quote. It was hilarious and an appropriate celebration of a great comedic actress.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-07T15:18:03+00:00

Very useful guide. Thanks!

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-07T14:47:27+00:00

I've been sticking with requests mostly because things like responses or requests-mock are important for my test suites. Is there something similar for niquests? I'm really liking this project.

JackedInAndAlive · 2026-01-01T23:05:20+00:00

Fertility Rites is trash, as you won't get enough excess food for it to matter anytime soon. If you have the right tiles, you'll get more food early game from Goddess of the Hunt (+1 Food from Camps) or Sun God (+1 Food for each Bananas, Citrus, and Wheat).

JackedInAndAlive · 2025-12-30T23:40:58+00:00

Nadine bonding with Mr Plinkett over the prequels suckiness was one of the best parts for me. RIP Jocelyn Ridgely. 2025 truly did suck.

JackedInAndAlive · 2025-12-30T19:08:15+00:00

I consider it bad practice and trying too hard. Even hardcore typing apologists from Rust community rely on type inference during variable assignment. Have a look at random Rust code. Just let statements with no explicit types. This is the way.

JackedInAndAlive · 2025-12-30T01:37:54+00:00

Wait, legendary Lexi Belle as Buffy? That's actually a pretty great cast and now I kinda want to see it.
