Season 7 of "Veep" is its final one. It has less episodes, which I forgot, so the last one took me by surprise; always a good thing. After a bit transitory previous season, Selina Meyer is reaching new lows in her pursuit of presidency. I liked the bittersweet ending that didn't try to find a way out for everyone; no, you go into politics, you're gonna get burnt, one way or another. Anyway, I'll remember those multi-layered insults they serve each other.

Yesterday, I gave "X2: Wolverine's Revenge" a shot. It's loosely based on the movie but focused on Wolverine; I've seen it in 2003, so I don't remember it that much. There was PC/console game of the same title, but it was fully 3D and all. This one here is a 2D hack'n'slach side-scroller. Pixel art is really good here. I added it to favourites, to return to it later. The funny thing is that back then I wouldn't walk next to it, but now, it's a perfect product to play.

Yesterday, I played "TRON 2.0" on GBA, and I generally found it to my liking: there are isometric levels where we control a character of our choice (Tron being one of them), and from those we can teleport to 3-D levels where we control a tank and other TRON-like vehicles; and puzzles. The isometric levels are cool, I dug the pixel art, but the tank levels are tough; might be a skill issue or GBA key mapping. When you die, it's game over, so I'll use RetroArch's state saves next time.

"Demolition Man" is a SNES game from 1996, loosely based on the movie with the same title, starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes (for some reason, I remembered it was Dennis Rodman; mayhap due to the hair colour, no clue). It's generally a side-scrolling shooter, with two top-down levels. I found it accidentally while browsing the SNES catalogue on my R36S. I played the first level for a bit, and it fell to my liking, so I returned to it this week.

"Slow Horses," season 2, has a new plot but is also building a super arc across the seasons, it seems; as it's not over. We're seeing more of Jackson Lamb in action, and he proves to be still having it as a spy. It's almost as if season 1 was meant to merely prepare the ground for him. I like how the show utilises those misfits and losers, to quote to opening song, which creates more relatable outcome than James-Bond-like super-spy stories. By the end of the day, we're only humans.

"Slow Horses" is a spy show based on books I have never heard of. Slough House, a dead-end post in London ran by Jackson Lamb, where agents are being sent to as punishment, ends up as a part of a larger scheme. The main highlight for me was marvellous performance from Gary Oldman, whose comments would grant him a role in "Veep." The writing was good, with well-built and well-used Chekhov's guns. There are 4 more seasons.

Season 6 of #Veep" is set some months after Selina Meyer lost the presidential election, and I found it interesting, this follow-up of what happens "after the end." Character wise, we have the same pack. I am wondering if Selina became a worse person this season, or perhaps, she was always like that, but it was not so evident to me? No clue, but she's an absolutely abhorrent person: to her daughter, to Gary, to everyone. We'll see where she'll get in the final season.

I've got interested in "The Chaos Engine" recently, having fond memories of the game, from my Amiga A1200. It inspired me to buy "The Difference Engine" by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, as apparently, the plot of the game is roughly inspired by the book. I went to GOG today, and there it was at the price of 2 euros, even less, so, despite the bad reviews, I decided to buy it. I played a little, but I'll try the Mega Drive port on R36S later, too.

How 'bout obliterating a company website because I cancelled a subscription? 😅 #FreakyFriday

And finally, if you're into nostalgic Tetrises (Tetres?), I found this Pico-8 version that renders a GameBoy and you play game inside the game. Crazy, in the best possible meaning!

Wait, what, there was "Sleeping With Ghosts: B-Sides," and I missed that until now? Huh.

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" is one of the most famous books ever, probably, and while it was mentioned in many places, I never took interest in it. This all changed when I started following @mobydick, and from the quotes, I could clearly see the explicitly superb language; and that's with not even complete sentences sometimes. Then, I noticed that I can buy the whole thing for 7 euros; and so I did.
And this thread will be about what followed.

Fantastic album. A faux soundtrack, something that is popular on Bandcamp; but I still checked if there was no movie.
At times, it sounds like a lost follow-up of The Queen, whose sound was never picked up by any musician, thus making the band one of its kind.

"The Hidden" (1987) is a glorious, shameless sci-fi action horror. Kyle MacLachlan plays here an aloof FBI agent, pre-Twin-Peaks, and it's a perfect casting. He brings all his Kyleness to the role, which initially helps to fool us, the viewers. Something that would be a twist and major reveal in other movies happens almost immediately, thus making us guessing when the detective on the case will catch up with that. Fantastic 80s rock completes the picture.

"Severance" reminded me heavily of Haruki Murakami's "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World," and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, so let me fix that. The book was definitely one of the stranger and more original ones that I have ever read.
The resemblance is not only about having two sets of person in one, but the whole encrypting data feels similar to data refinement.

As far as my understanding goes, the legendary ZDoom, continued as GZDoom and now UZDoom, was primarily based off "Hexen," and that makes the game even more important evolution-wise. To throw my favourite comparison in, "Strife" was only reverse-engineered and at much later time. Technically, Doom scene owes a lot to "Hexen."

"Die Hard 2," sometimes known as "Die Harder," to confuse viewers, is a continuation of "Die Hard." It's also based on a book but unrelated and from a different author. Whatever works, I guess. And it works. John McClane once more saves his wife from terrorists, who took an airport this time. It's a typical action flick, but Bruce Willis is good at portraying a relatively normal guy who accidentally gets into action. These days everyone is beefed up and less relatable due to that.

Season 4 of "Veep" follows a campaign and presidential election that follows a resignation of the president of the United States of America; a president that was never shown on screen. The series holds its level and mid-season Hugh Laurie joins the cast. Sorry for the spoiler, as it took my by surprise, but it's not that much plot-related. I begin to like the character of Pierce, who's a helpless fool and should not survive a day there. And yet, he does.

"Boiling Point" (2021) is a project from Philip Barantini and Stephen Graham, who gave us "Adolescence" earlier this year. Just like the show, the whole movie is done from a single shot. The plot is on one hand pretty trivial and very occupying on the other hand because everything happens so fast. And it's despite the fact that I'm not a fan of cooking-oriented stories; they just bore me. I am also once again reminded of how hectic working in a restaurant is.

"Death By Lightning" (2025) is a limited series that tell a story of the 20th president of the US. It's all-star-driven (with my beloved Michael Shannon, Nick Offerman, and Shea Whigham, among others). While it sticks very close to the facts, from what I checked, and has only understandable shortcuts (like only 1 doctor), it feels very much like a comment to our times in the first place. And the metaphors are not subtle. There is even disenfranchised lone shooter.
