Sure, everyone does dumb shit. But rich people have the money, time and opportunity to do dumber shit on a bigger scale. When they get in trouble they have the infrastructure to bail them out.

I'm not going to cry a tear for rich people who bolted themselves into a death tube and have have caused a multimillion dollar rescue effort to be launched in their behalf.

When poor people do dumb shit they're left to die in obscurity without any help. The news is full of stories about orcas destroying mega yachts, CEOs sabotaging their own companies and billionaires launching stupid new tech ventures. I'd enjoy watching them set their money on fire if it weren't for the harm they're causing everyone else.

It's more about them getting into a slapdash deathisphere because as rich people they're rarely exposed to real risk.

Millennials these days don't even know how to neglect and terrorize their kids!

That's interesting. The last two episodes were way more horror than Black Mirror's typical sci fi. A red mirror spin off would be cool.

Demon 79 was my favorite. I feel like they really nailed the style of 70s horror movies, especially when she's first driving to work and all the shots are panning from static cameras.

It really had me guessing if the demon was lying or not right up to the very end. It was brilliant to do it that way. Everyone expects a twist in Black Mirror and it didn't twist.

A trope that I hate is that every alien planet or moon has the same gravity as Earth. Yes, I love The Expanse.

Bonus round: planets with one biome: ice planets, forest planets, storm planets. I left out desert planets, praise the maker.

Costume Quest has great Halloween vibes. It captures trick-or-treating magic perfectly.

Whenever I'm having a bad mental health week I'll do a run through of Psychonauts. Psychonauts 2 was amazing and I've got 103% on it but the original just scratches that itch. Especially Black Velvetopia.

I can answer number one. In kbin click on your username at the top right. There will be a header with your comments and threads and stuff. There's a small set of arrows to scroll that header. Scroll it to the right and you'll find Subscriptions. That will list the magazines you're subscribed to.

Murder Party is about a guy who answers a flier for a Halloween party but it turns out the people who put out the flier are crazy art students that want to murder someone. It has the same kind of vibes as Ready or Not. It's very comedic which is a big departure from his other work like Green Room where everything is bleak and realistically violent.

I really like Jeremy Saulnier. He did Blue Ruin, Green Room, Hold the Dark and Murder Party. The way he shows violence is so abrupt and visceral. It's as far from glorification as it gets. Well, except for Murder Party, that was just fun and hilarious.

Think of the saving of cutting off your nose! Sure, it may spite your face but you have to understand the shareholder value of a leaner face!
