No description, either. And comments are turned off.
So I have no way of knowing what this is about...
Briefly, The Wizard of Oz (1939) has been remastered to play on the Las Vegas Sphere.
Well, in the Sphere, on a screen the size of four (American) football fields, using AI to upscale the resolution to 16K and dramatically expand the frame to provide an immersive experience, aided by environmental effects during things like the twister.
I showed this to Peggy and asked her if she'd like to go to Las Vegas. No answer yet.
It's going to be running at least through the end of March.
EDIT: Here's an article at Techcrunch.com about it. It's not terribly long and basically points you at the video, but you can glean a little about what's going on from it.

So.... it's been a while since we've had a Melodicka Bros video. Time to fix that.

Meanwhile, Second Wind -- you know, where Yahtzee went to keep doing what he used to do under the name "Zero Punctuation" -- seems to be being sabotaged by the new YouTube algorithm and wants you to know both about it and that there's something you can do:

Huh. The little one sounded like Lindsey Jones, aka Ruby from RWBY.

It's important to observe the spider carefully before trying any such thing -- usually you're fine with normal armor and equipment for the zone level, but if it has a mana bar or field boss icon you're better off calling Animal Control to get a raid together than trying to handle it with a normal party.
