A social media platform.
Positioned as a “free as in beer and free as in freedom” alternative to platforms like Twitter, minds has significant potential.

A side-scroller puzzle game.
I played around with it a bit. It’s fair. It’s overwhelmingly unforgiving and gets complicated.

Build and expand a space-faring race who learns they are not alone in the universe.
Master of Orion – (1993 game) but with updated graphics and a confusing interface. I expect would have loved this in the past, but now it’s just awkward. I’ll still tag this as ‘liked’, as it’s pretty good. It’s very hard in the eyes. Take a lot of breaks.
Extremely stupidly hard.. and confusing. I’m shelving it. I only paid $12 USD for it, so it’s not a big loss.. still, I wish the UI was better and the tutorial was better and the gameplay was better..
 It really was in theaters. I went back to see it.

Two interns and a lovesick magazine reporter follow up on a crazy old classified ad requesting a partner for time travel.
It’s not exactly a time-travel movie, science fiction, a comedy or a romance or a romantic comedy, but it does have a light dusting of everything. It’s “okay”.
Based on a joke published as a classified advertisement in Backwoods Home – (1997 magazine), by John Silveira

A broken man, having done the hokey pokey as an assassin, is forced back in. Again.
Adequate. It borrows from feelings and elements of other movies, and does a mediocre job of entertaining.
Properly titled John Wick: Chapter 2

Thrust back into a life he thought he exited, a contract killer vows revenge for the brutal slaying of.. his dog.
An adequate movie.

An investigative reporter, most recently working on criminal drug stories, gets a lead that takes him down a rabbit hole few knew existed.
A fair movie at best, which I can only recommend for people of the mindset with interest in the United States’ government’s involvement in Bad Things.
Based on Kill the Messenger – (2006 book), by Gary Webb

Laser things, move things, push things and find your way through semi-puzzle stuff.
With an art style (and opening sequences) reminiscent of Borderlands – (2009 game) and gameplay reminiscent of Okami – (2006 game), this game has a very strong initial impression on me.
Not open-world, and definitely “on rails”, but it does give a lot of power to the user as to how to fart around to progress.
While overall good, the controls are wonky and cliffs are obnoxious. There should be no falling off mechanic and the game should instead dangle the player for a moment and never let them fall.
Properly titled Tiny & Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers

A freemium Minecraft clone with a number of improved features.
It’s prettier but has a lot of pop-in. The two block-high jump and sliding movement are unsettling. It’s nice to have a list of all crafting patterns, and searching is nice. Crafting is very nice with its previews.
Overall I’d say this is a good game and an appropriate drop-in replacement for people who like Minecraft.

A special agent combat-cyborg pursues a cyber criminal who comes to have a special interest in her.
Although I like it, I suspect it’s because I like the original so much and I can’t be unbiased. I also think Scarlett is hot.
I became even more interested in seeing this movie in light of the incorrectly-supposed-whitewashing of the lead character. Antisocial injustice is actually pretty good at recommending things.
Although this movie is tagged as foreign-language, only one character speaks in Japanese, and it is minor.
