The software’s free, bud.

It changes it for me because I know they had good source material they abandoned lol

I think it was still a fun site through at least the first Place so I’d say peak was post-Digg

I’d say it was overall pretttyyy weak. Like 5/10 if you didn’t watch the original, 3/10 if you did. It felt very Hollywood to me and not in a good way. Everything was so… polished. It didn’t feel like I was following a scrappy crew of misfits

I thought outside of Becky, the casting wasn’t great. The UK Jessica Hyde was soooo off-putting and unhinged, the US Jessica was just…brooding and mean. I don’t even remember Arby.

The pacing was too fast. They added too much stuff and packed it all into one season.

But it was the plot changes were what really killed it for me. Why change the purpose of the conspiracy? Why get rid of Carvel (who made for some of the best scenes in the original)?

Sorry for the rant, the original is one of my favorite shows and the remake really let me down lol

If you feel that way, it’s even weirder that you’re enthusiastically recommending this show lol

It was great until season 7, which was meh, in my opinion. I have nothing good to say about season 8

Tales From The Loop. It’s a slow, vibey, and kind of whimsical show that perfectly matches the paintings its based on (Simon Stalenhag’s). There is no main plot, each episode is a story that takes place in a town above a particle accelerator with a loose thread between them

If you like the mood of the trailer, you’ll like the show.

You’d enthusiastically recommend GoT even with the last season? That’s like getting someone to ride a rollercoaster you know needs with a brick wall

The only thing good about the US version was Cusack and the added subplot about the twin.

Construction and trespassing would happen even without capitalism though

I’m not into “dark” games so I’ll just accept that this one isn’t for me

I haven’t played any of the others but was assured it was no problem. My real controversial opinion is that I didn’t think the voice acting was that great either

I don’t feel TOO strongly about this but these questions came to mind while reading this:

Is the ability to explore a larger area that much better than a life of luxury? Indoor cats live twice as long as outdoor cats and I think 3x as long as wild ones

Is it really that immoral to stop a predator from hunting if their dietary needs are met? Would this not cause less suffering in the world?

If we didn’t domesticate cats, would we not treat them as pests?

Most humor diminishes with repetition for me but if you’re able to laugh at the same jokes over and over and over, more power to you.

It would do A LOT for US citizens, too. Holy shit, stop wasting our fuckin tax dollars on wars in the middle east!

“orphan crushing machine” is an analogy for the horrors of capitalism, not literally being crushed

Witcher 3. Absolutely hated the sluggish movement, only made it a few hours

So let’s say I’m on board with the idea that modern memes are units of information and not just a cancer…

…nothing changes. They’re still shit that made the world a worse place. No-thought garbage flooding everyone’s attention. Waste of bandwidth and brainpower

I’m well-versed and I don’t think the classical definition applies to memes as we know them now. I think it stopped being applicable with the rise of social media when the goal of sharing them changed. And with it, the goal of making them.

Memes have become a substitute for discourse. Using the internet nowadays often feels like I’m back in middle school talking to the kid who couldn’t go more than 2 sentences without quoting the Simpsons.

That is a completely separate issue than the point I was replying to
