  • You just reminded me of when I first adopted these cats and I'd "lose" them in my tiny condo only to find them snoozing on top of the kitchen cabinets. Mine used the counters though, and not parkour up the wall to get there.

  • Wow, what I wouldn't give to erase my memory and watch some of those shows for the first time again.

    I'm currently doing a rewatch of DS9 and I stand by my opinion that the second season is loaded with good episodes; most people shrug off the first two seasons and say the show doesn't get good until the third season but not me.

  • Like I said, I'm flabbergasted that somehow this never occurred to me. I guess my brain assumed the awkward shape of a ladder (from a cat's perspective) would give them trouble and be harder to climb than leaping from floor to surface or surface to surface.

  • That Tomb Raider thing was completely asinine. It was a quality reboot of a series that had gone horribly off the rails with a lot of promise and Square tanked it with completely unreasonable expectations, apparently expecting sales in the dozens of millions. And here we are with FF apparently not meeting expectations as well--it's easy to see where the issue is, and it's not with the games.

  • Chicago has a weirdly high number of mattress chain stores. There's a stretch near me that has 3 of them in the span of 4 blocks. They've all been there for awhile and there's rarely ever anyone in them. No way these are legit businesses considering how often people buy mattresses.

  • I'm Asian. If my earwax is super dry and flaky, I hate to see the sludge coming out of other people's ears.

    As for deodorant, I switched to a smaller variety of Tom's in my travel kit because the travel-sized ones from big box stores suck. I think the one I bought is aimed at women since their website shows bigger, blacker packaging for their deodorant aimed at men. I'm thinking of switching over to my travel kit ones on a permanent basis because of the fresh lemongrass and lavender scents.

  • Despite being a huge Trek fan, I forgot all about this show, having only seen a handful of episodes. The reviews here kind of have me wanting to actually watch it and see the slow motion trainwreck for myself.

  • I didn't know Firefox and Pocket were linked, having just switched over to Firefox after Google's antics.

    I used Pocket all the time on Android when I had a commute via public transit and would save longer articles I found to read during the ride. Looking at the articles I have saved, my use has definitely dropped since I started working primarily from home though.

  • From what I've seen most of the K dramas on Netflix have 8 to 16 episodes and tell a complete story which makes them the perfect length if you don't want to commit to a show spanning hundreds of episodes. Some of my favorites in addition to Beyond Evil and Extracurricular which were both top notch:

    My Name

    Itaewon Class

    Kingdom

    The Glory

    Stranger

    Sweet Home

    Law School

    Hotel del Luna

    Bloodhounds (currently watching)

    These are all over the map thematically so hope you find one or more you enjoy!

  • Agreed on Persona 5, and I really need to play Persona 4 (it's on my list but stupid life gets in the way).

    Two other picks:

    1. The original Lunar: The Silver Star on SegaCD. I never played the remakes on other systems but I know they changed significant parts of the soundtrack in those games, while the SegaCD version just hit perfectly for me.
    2. Final Fantasy Tactics. One of the few soundtrack CDs I imported when those were a thing and could listen to and instantly recall fond memories of playing the game.
  • For those who need a Klingon opera fix sooner, DS9's "Playing God" had the Klingon restaurant owner singing opera with Jadzia. Just watched this episode yesterday in my series rewatch. Not sure how to clip to a timestamp but it's about halfway into the video below:
