Serial Experiments Lain. I managed to acquire a bootleg Japanese VHS of the show (sans subtitles) in '99 or '00 and fell in love. I bought the English dub as soon as I could find it. I was totally obsessed, even going as far as carrying a messenger bag like Lain had, and making a custom Windows XP theme based on Navi. I even bought a Palm Pocket to mimic the smartphones shown in the show.

Lain shaped my passion for IT, and I feel it changed my life in profound ways.

I'm confused by the sudden popularity. It went under the radar for so long. Now all of the merch goes for insane amounts of money.

This was a really interesting read. I'd love to see a follow-up with autistic individuals to determine if their synchronization matches neurotypical people, and if there's a difference when they speak with another autistic person.

Hell yeah salmon. It's expensive in my area but I try to eat it once a week, usually just pan fried and served on a salad. I find that it puts me in a great mood and gives me a lot of energy.

Volunteered to work today (unpaid, I'm salary) to give my coworker time with his family and keep myself away from holiday temptations. IWNDWYT!

I always kick off the Halloween season with this movie. Thinking I'll start early in August this year - I already have the Halloween bug.

You deserve better fam

That's a tough one. I think your son is old enough for you to sit down and put the cards on the table, and ask what he wants. You can express your concerns clearly but ultimately leave the decision to him. If you do decide to meet, make sure you have provisions in place to make it as safe as possible.

My primary concerns right now are: If given an opportunity, he may harm you again. And, if he is that desperate for a relationship with his son, he may take shady actions to make that happen. It's crucial to keep your son aligned here so that he doesn't rebel and run away with the father, or otherwise put himself in a dangerous position.

1080p looks abysmal on my 65" though. Is there any solution?

Interesting, I'll have to play around with it. I've been docking it to my 4k TV so maybe I need to force a lower res.

Nice, thanks. How has your docked experience been? I've only been able to get it working well with low-power games like Monster Train. Any 3d game seems to run horribly, even older titles.
