Great, time to watch some mystery science I guess

The movie is very loosely based on the first book. The screenwriter read it, had a dream about it, then wrote the movie based off the dream they had, intentionally never referencing the book while writing it. Which… Idk. Kinda fits the vibe of the story, but I’d love an authentic adaptation of the book, because it’s incredible.

The second book was a hard read for me, but it’s worth it to get to third, and honestly the third kind of retroactively makes the second one better. There’s supposed to be a 4th in the works I believe, but don’t quote me on that.

Reminds me of the biologist from Annihilation. Time to reread the trilogy I guess.

Yeah, I kind of agree here. I’d love to switch to Linux as my every day driver, but some things keep me tied to windows. Gaming is getting better on Linux by the day, but I still can’t use Ableton on Linux, and that’s basically a deal breaker for me. I think the newest Push has Linux support though, so who knows? Maybe one day.

As a GA resident right across the river from SC, I understand that sentiment. SC sucks. Those bastards stole our city name and our fuckin baseball team.

It’s also one of the best ways to advertise as a small content creator. The internet hates self-promotion with a passion, but short form videos? People love that shit.

Fuck off, yankee. Like the rest of the country doesn’t have backwoods towns with morons in it too, oh no, that’s purely a southern problem. And racism? No, no, places like Ohio and Illinois and fuckin Glendale, California don’t have racist idiots, certainly.

Any problem you can find with the south can be found anywhere else in the country, y’all just like to put blinders on.

The gun is good! The penis is evil!

4 × 4 = 16, I don’t understand where the confusion is coming from, bud lol

Man, this is Lemmy in a nutshell. Someone offers a well thought-out and well-written view to give some perspective on the other side of a popular Lemmy opinion, and the first response is just straight up ignoring the opportunity to have a real conversation and attacking the commenter as a person.

This place fucking sucks.

There’s no shortage of great boomer shooters these days, and I think they check the “brain off, cozy shooter” criteria.

The indie boomer shooter scene is exploding, actually

They’re culinary vegetables. My wife likes to say it like this: intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing that it doesn’t go in a fruit salad.

I finally made a TikTok recently. On desktop, I couldn’t follow anybody, and after a week I couldn’t upload videos. Downloaded the mobile app, and my phone battery started losing 40-50% more battery per day, despite less than 5 minutes of usage per day in the tiktok app (uninstalled tiktok and all of a sudden my battery issues are gone).

Some time in the last week, I was suspended for having my twitch name visible in a tiktok. Or at least I assume so, since they never actually told me why I was suspended, or even that I was until I tried to login to upload a video.

What I’m getting at is, fuck tiktok.

I had this really strange game called Seventh Cross Evolution. It wasn’t really a good game, but I loved it.

You started out as a tiny amoeba, and ate food to gain evolution points. You’d then use those points to add colors to a grid, I think you had six colors. The arrangement of those colors in the grid would unlock new body parts, like tentacle legs, or human arms, or a shark head.

It was super weird and clunky, but I loved it as a kid. I would spend hours just making pictures and seeing what I’d get. Might have to revisit that one soon, could make a fun stream game.

Hell yeah, Pete & Bas. These two old men go hard as fuck. I’ve been introing stream with Stepped into the Building for like three months now lol.

Yep, that was it. Makes me feel a little bit better that every comment under it is calling it out though, thanks for the follow-up.

My favorite example of this so far, the top rated comment on a post about players making a one million science per hour factory in factorio:

Factorio is proprietary software, Mindustry is not

Lemmy is so negative, it even hates Factorio.

Lol, you really channeled Dave Barry for that last paragraph.
