The concept is silly and melodramatic. But at a certain point, this show goes off the rails and I had no idea what would happen next. Not even sure what a second season will be.

This kind of thing didn’t used to bother me at all before it very much bothered me and now I’m somewhere in the middle. I think cartridges/discs for consoles should not require an Internet connection to play them. That said, this isn’t the PS2 era anymore. Many games release with patches day 1 and most will have at least some updates post launch. A lot of games kept offline end up missing out on a ton. Keeping a physical copy of a game is only preserving a portion of the game for a future without the servers to supply the final version, which is my main concern when it comes to physical vs digital media. We still have to rely on hacked consoles running custom firmware or emulation to properly preserve games.

OK, I promise I only know this because it’s related to my job: In the movie that came out earlier this year, there are minions with super powers. This one is supposed to be a rip off of The Thing from Fantastic Four. That’s why it looks like that.

Some life, sure. We’ll extinct untold millions of species on the way out. Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park, was a climate change denier, not a scientist.

There’s like half a dozen 20 year olds who got very famous from this show and now they’re all too famous and busy to keep doing it. Seriously, I find reviews on Letterboxd all the time that are like “(lead actress) my beloved” and I have no idea who they are and then it turns out they were in Euphoria.

Wild to me that they still have yet to fix their Android TV Hulu app. It’s a premium streaming service with essentially no functionality on a significant number of streaming devices.

It was the only two-player game everyone definitely had.

Works even better for celery.

Freeze bread to keep it from going bad and thaw it as needed either at room temp or low heat in a toaster oven. Bread in the fridge just dries out.

You heard it here: Refusing to mislabel refugees as “illegal” is the problem, not drowning them.

Neither are what I’m looking for in TV these days.

OK, maybe I don’t need to watch it.

Cool. I might watch it now lol. Getting confirmation by a showrunner that a series will get to complete the overarching story they had planned is like a huge green light for me to check out a show I missed the train on earlier.

Doesn’t matter. If your PC is ever compromised, that feature is a one stop shop for stealing everything you have ever done on your computer.

The rare xkcd I find charming and relatable rather than charming and arcane.

How long until the majority of the Internet is inaccessible to non-Chromium browsers because the pages “don’t support them”?

Netanyahu could and the US would happily follow them.

Call it whatever you want, but all I see is a weirdly unexpected avenue for potential solidarity against a major arms manufacturer. Hell, I’ll call it woke if it helps turn Americans against the fuckers building bombs.

Way to redraw your red line, Biden. Absolute fucking coward.

This is Microsoft, an American corporation, actively developing the things the Internet spazzes out about China probably doing. How happy this makes China? Buddy, imagine how happy this makes every marketing company in the world, your local police department, and your own government, all of which have a much more vested interest in everything you do on your computer and are considerably more of a threat to you than the ruling party of a country on the other side of the planet. Seriously, y’all need to get your fucking priorities in order. It’s borderline satire how fast your average Lemmy user slaps the China Panic button as soon as a privacy-related issue hits their front page.
