Redline (2009). The plot is a bit silly but the artwork is amazing.

You know who could really take advantage of this situation? JCB. It's a credit card processor in Japan similar to Mastercard and Visa. If they went to the game platforms and offered censorship free and opened up their card use in other countries, things could get interesting.

There was a case in Canada where the judge ruled in favour of the plaintiff, where a chatbot had offered information that differed from Air Canada's written policy. The judge made them honor the guidance generated by the chatbot:

I'm more impressed that they can use a gamepad for CLI input.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Generally well liked by audiences, D&D nerds and film buffs. I watched it and enjoyed it. Some highlights:

  • Good storyline with consistent characters and a well paced plot. Good acting and notable names in the cast with some newer talent too.
  • Creators clearly loved their source material. Lots of world building detail if you're into that. Good mix of both practical effects and special effects. The Paladin's intro and the Jarnathan scene are good examples of practical effects side, and the dragon and spell casting are good examples of SFX.
  • From the D&D side, you get the feel of "just a bunch of friends getting together for a tabletop adventure." They ham up the comedy a bit. The Paladin is like a player or DMPC that joins for one session and then peaces out. Apparently even the events of the combat sequences go in initiative order.

Fun movie, would recommend.

My advice is not financial but rather about relationships:

  • Money and finances are one of the top things couples fight about.
  • Psychologists have observed that couples have the same disagreements (or fights) over the long term course of a relationship, and these can be used as touchpoints to assess the couple's emotional maturity and overall relationship health.
  • So, whatever financial arrangement you agree upon, commit to it in a way that actively reinforces the importance of the relationship, fosters open communication, and strengthens your bond with one another.
