“What’s your favorite…”
Let me just stop you right there;
I do, in fact, have favorite movies, books, scenes, comics, games; many of them!
I will NEVER be able to answer the above question, because the second you ask it/I read it, my mind goes completely fucking blank as they all vie for 1st

this prompted me to see what https://anagramgenius.com might do, but sadly its anagram server is broken
iirc anagram genius originally came out in about 1990 … i never got a copy because it was a bit expensive for a toy and i wouldn’t have been able to learn from its unobtanium source code

I'm with Kathy Sierra on this—just always think about "how does this make the user be able to kick more ass?"
If you can't come up with an answer it probably doesn't.

You see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.
And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.
If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re lucky it’d have been something planned in my calendar but mostly, dunno. Watching TV maybe? No idea what show. Was that a night I was in the pub?
As we all get older this problem increases I’m told. Eventually full on senility sets in.
But what if you have already built the habit to record what you’re doing? To be able to look back and revise and review how you spent your days? An external aid as a crutch to your own forgetful brain’s cortex?
So I started this Exocortex Log over a decade ago and now I can answer: Ten years ago on Tuesday I was having dinner with the guitarist from my band and his girlfriend and they burned the pudding.
The app has been half finished and barely able to even record let alone review for most of that time, but now it’s ready enough that someone else might use it too if they want.

I stopped buying books (or anything, really) from Amazon years ago, when it became apparent the working conditions at their many processing centres are appalling and they were actively busting unions. I have never regretted that stance, and I have always been able to find the books, etc. I need from other sources.
I hope more authors — and big name ones too — will follow this lead.

I remember asking, not so long ago, if Chara and Yuki were still making music together.
I got my answer as they just released a single
