I do stuff and sometimes I don’t do stuff
I feel like too much time has passed now for this to make an impact. The themes and aesthetics have been recycled ad infinitum over the years. Misguided accusations it’s copying work it has inspired will be unavoidable.
Film is probably the better vehicle instead of an elongated season of hour-long episodes.
Like many of us, I have been a fan of Kojima’s games over the years. With his own production company and few people to answer to, I feel his tendency to revel in surrealism and absurdity is pushing me away.
I’m not looking forward to another dose of cryptic pretentiousness from him. I’ll leave this one alone.
We don’t want to be part of the Zuckusphere.
2016 was a weird time and you could argue it was the point when western politics veered off in the direction of populism over policy.
As a British citizen (sorry subject), it was a horrifying moment to be woken up by my girlfriend to learn that we had voted to leave by the smallest of margins.
And later that year we watched America elect a bonafide psychopathic narcissist as the president of the United States.
Why the majority elect to be kept under the boot with aggressive fiscal policies which reward the wealthy is beyond me.
Brexit was sold on lies and false promises of the ‘benefits’ Britain would see when we become ‘independent’ again.
?
It’s a degradation in functionality masquerading as an improvement. And as for labelling everything ‘shit’, have you seen my comment history. This is the first time I have used this term on any platform. Smh
The great enshittening of internet platforms continues
As someone who lives in the UK, this government and their adoption of authoritarian policies in the recent past is depressing.
I just hope when given the opportunity next year at the polling stations, the British electorate doesn’t vite to be f**ked Inthe ass again for the next five years.
It’s depressing knowing you own a license to access the digital file you purchased but that contract can be withdrawn at any time.
Besides you cannot replicate the same authenticity by showing your film library to friends and family when you sit down and scroll through your digital purchases.
Switched back in the summer for good. Use Firefox in my android as the default browser with DuckDuckGo as search engine. The issue is still relying on the android digital hemisphere as the default OS for my phone.
Edit : The only thing lacking is tab management. I know there is an extension. But it doesn’t satisfy.
I regret being complicit in allowing these silicon valley behemoths to reach a point where they’re indelibly linked to practically every aspect of the average person’s digital life.
At least the Fediverse and Lemmy are showing the way forward.
Hah! You’re probably right. This is what happens when you’re up late in bed and you need to get up at 7 am for work In four hours.
Except he initially called for solidarity with Israel. Ukraine’s Zelenskiy calls for world solidarity with Israel It makes him look a bit ill-informed and short-sighted.
Well it could be an attempt to divert attention away from the latest season launched in Path of Exile just last week.
Has to be Dinosaur Jr and the track Freak Scene off their 1988 album Bug. When I play it it always takes me back to a time when adult responsibilities were not a concern and life was less complicated. The song, for me anyway, encapsulates the late 1980s.
14 years and they’re welcome to it
Hmm, still reading through them but really this was one of the only reasons I have been running whispers in the end-game and it has been removed
You’ll be paid in NFT Snoos.
In all seriousness, this leaves the site wide open to exploitation in the pursuit of monetary gain.
Ultimately that will lead to a degredation of content (even more so than now).
A commendable attempt at building the foundations of a progressive movement that breaks the current political stagnation we have endured for the past forty years or more.
Unfortunately the majority of people are inexplicably content to be shafted by successive governments whatever their political persuasion.
