Reception

Nollywood Reinvented gave Adesuwa a 49% rating; praising its production, directing, and originality. The reviewer found the film interesting but not especially gripping.[7]

gollark: I did have a thing with ingame modems and some ECC library on older versions, which ensured that you couldn't fake a message from the remote debugging (not backdoor) computer.
gollark: It's technically websockets, but those are *basically* HTTP.
gollark: It's the potatOS remote debugging (totally not a backdoor) backend.
gollark: Yep, the magic uninterceptability of HTTP is why SPUDNET uses it.
gollark: Also Arch. People keep recommending Void to me, but I don't use it.
