An underclass punk, returning from a ten month flight from the country, happens upon a suicide that reveals that she is part of a larger picture.

The lead actor is particularly good, as is all the acting. The story is poor in a number of places, and it is particularly jarring to have literal-faggotry forced into it. I don't mind there happening to be gay characters, but when they're gay characters being gay because gayness yay gay gay as opposed to just being people who happen to be gay, it's so obvious and so insulting as to taint the whole fucking show.

I'll flag this as liked and lightly-recommended. It's really not all that awful, but it rubs me the wrong way. It's like girly science fiction drama-whatever.

A bog-standard 4X space game, but with a tiny font.

Overwhelming, and with an annoying interface.

A semi-roguelike tower defence-ish game.

Utterly impossible. Doesn't make a lick of sense. Unlimited waves of stuff, for some reason. Can't build enough, the resource limitations are obscene.

So cute! Whenever I play a game with a little fox type thing, I will always think of Okami.

I ended up getting stuck at the winter/summer level, trying to go east with the spirit. I guess I'm the first person to ever play this, ever.

Meant as a YouTube killer, it has all the flaws of Steemit.

A blog/article website which uses the Steem cryptocurrency.

Money comes from nowhere, and the entire thing is run by bots who game the system. This isn't just individual items and their income, but manipulating the entire "market" for large weekly buy-sell payouts.

It really looks great.

VueScan supports the CanoScan LiDE 120, which I tested it with.

It watermarks what it scans, unless you buy it. It's not worth $50 for something decent, because my scanner cost that. $100 to get OCR cooked-in also isn't worth it.
