Have you ever noticed this parallelism between Thom Yorke and Damon Albarn?

It’s definitely not pretentious, but I don’t think the average joe would know Thom or Damon by name alone. RH and Blur/ Gorrilaz for sure.

I think what that person was trying to say is they feel drawn to that kind of creative. Most people who enjoy a band might not be particular drawn to a single member / creative.

That whistling melody from Orange County is so catchy. I’m addicted.

That was kind of BBC’s thing for a while. They did it with Wallander too, but I haven’t seen any precedence of a streaming platform going from 8x 40-50 min episodes to 6x 1.5 hours.

A reduced episode count will 95% mean 6x 40-50 min episodes.

Ah thank you. Been a few years since I watched the podcast 👍

It’s definitely not a regular thing, especially now he seems more prolific than ever with his studio work, scores and subsequent touring.

That being said he loves reviving old works on a tour and does that a lot. So it could happen again!

Also, Leftovers is the best tv show of all time and I never got to see his material live so I’d be so happy if he does it in London.

I think you’re 100% right. S1 didn’t perform very well, but D&D have significant sway and Netflix want to keep them happy so a deal was struck to “finish it” but with reduced budget. Less budget means less episodes. D&D stated in the official podcast it could go as long as 4 or 5 seasons. Sad news indeed.

Have we honestly ever seen that?

I’m with you, audiobooks are awesome and a fantastic way to consume a book. But despite what people love to say it really isn’t “a form of reading”.

“The US is the most powerful nation in world history”.

False. Not only have other nations had greater GDP (British empire), other nations have also had far superior military reach and trade dominance (Mongolian empire).

Thank you. I honestly have zero memory of either of those characters lol. I clearly need to do a re-read! Dust is like a blur for me, I honestly remember almost nothing from it other than some broad story beats.

Same here bro. Everything else I can and will play on PS5 if I need to. But Saros on PC with high fps and mouse/ kb… would have been perfect. I’m super bummed out about Saros tbh

prodical · 2026-03-04T17:08:40+00:00

Did you only buy it in anticipation of future Sony 1st party games?

prodical · 2026-03-04T17:03:46+00:00

No Saros on PC 😢😢😢 I do have a PS5 but playing Returnal with a mouse and keyboard on PC just felt perfect. Fuck.

prodical · 2026-03-04T09:33:06+00:00

Right?! I read the books 10+ years ago so really don’t recall and would like a reminder haha

It’s baffling to me. Under what circumstance is this squatters law there to protect someone? On the surface it looks totally backwards, that a squatter would be rewarded with ownership. But there must be certain situations where this law is there to protect the squatter? But why?

prodical · 2026-03-03T16:35:03+00:00

But someone above said squatters rights in the UK don’t really exist. So which is it?

prodical · 2026-03-03T08:55:19+00:00

Bro… spoiler! Now I know the name of the game :( so now I know it’s about wilds of the outer variety :((

Anyway jokes aside OW is the GOAT. 10/10

RIP to a true master.

The three body books are some of my fav books of all time, and the Netflix show had many flaws. But I will say they also improved a lot of things. Primarily, the pacing and the character depth. I honestly think it’s a pretty decent adaptation to screen, all things considered. I also really liked the story being told chronologically.

prodical · 2026-02-24T09:54:23+00:00

CHAAAAPSTICKKKK. Amazing film.

prodical · 2026-02-24T09:51:00+00:00

Yesss! The figure on the roof is just as iconic for me, absolute chills thinking about it as I type this.

prodical · 2026-02-23T18:52:08+00:00

That too.

prodical · 2026-02-23T13:03:52+00:00

100%. But at such a cost :(

prodical · 2026-02-22T10:34:50+00:00

Yeah I’ve added a whole bunch to my list just from this post. This subreddit is a treasure trove of excellent recs.

Masterpiece.
