I saw one of these at a car show and talked with the owner for a while.

• Most of them are painted orange so they’re nicknamed pumpkins

• The ones up north have doors due to the cold. His had an Onan engine and 4 speed gearbox

• A clean used one will run you about $2k but you can get tricked out ones all the way up the price ladder

• There’s owners clubs that meet up and all caravan on something like a road trip but on the tracks. Because they’re so small, a rail line lets them do group buys for rail mileage so several of them split the bill for what a normal rail car would cost.

I’ve played through this game probably 4 times by now, absolutely love it. I really hope the sequel manages to capture the atmosphere of the first.

Historically I never had the patience but I’ve watched a ton of movies over the past couple years (easily 300+) and initially I agreed with audience rating. Although I’m far from an insufferable cinephile and really don’t care about underlying theory and whatnot, I definitely find myself agreeing more with critic rating now. Of course there’s plenty of exceptions where I disagreed with both. Movies can be fun or awful for you regardless of what anyone else thinks.

That being said, I think Roger Ebert’s reviews usually nail it. That man was a connoisseur of weird enjoyable movies and quick to call out corporate crap.

Erasers for pen exist and work fine if you’re writing on good quality paper. They’re basically an abrasive that physically removes some of the paper and the ink along with it. IDK about the one in the post but the Pentel ZE32-Y works pretty well.
