I don’t even remember the last time Stephanie Sterling did anything like this, so it was just a weird blip. Not that she doesn’t goof a bunch. Still a great channel to stay up to date on the things that actually matter in the games industry instead of the usual hype machine shit. The only thing I don’t care for on the show is the wrestling stuff and when the editor does some schtick.

I thought Furiosa was excellent, but it filled in enough details of this version of the Wasteland that I don’t want to see it revisited. Would be excited if Miller has another self-contained story he wants to make in a different time and place of the Mad Max mythology with all new characters, but I suspect WB is not willing to take that risk. If MM doesn’t draw in audience for a Wasteland-verse of connected stories, they’ll just axe it.

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.

I’m glad people got something out of the movie and enjoyed pouring through it for secrets, but I’m firmly in the camp of none of it is supposed to make sense and have an answer, but people will assign meaning to any little mundane thing they find and that’s the point.

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

That’s the Wikipedia bias. The vast majority of pages are written and maintained by a small number of people with a Western Centrist perspective, which tends to be more conservative. You start to notice it more once you see it for the first time.

Netanyahu could and the US would happily follow them.

After Oblivion, I really wished I had the option to quick load my last save.

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

I’m saying both you and Burton have shit excuses for not casting non-white actors. Calling the representation of non-white actors something to “shoehorn” into a film means both of you consider white skin the default, which is at least ignorant of reality if not racist.

And it’s easier to make white people look like corpses? What a weird statement. As if Tim Burton shoots on a sub-indie budget that can’t afford makeup and lighting, where worrying about the shade of an actor’s skin is even a factor when you have the resources of major film studios to achieve any look a director desires.

Lastly, Burton being “goth” is maybe the funniest reason you’ve provided so far. My dude, have you ever been to a Goth Night at a club? I guarantee you’ll find that’s a subculture just as popular with people of color as it is for white folks.

You’ll notice his answer isn’t “My films require pale skin to achieve my vision.”

Nonsense. There are plenty of examples of cool-toned films featuring black actors. Moonlight is the obvious example. With proper lighting and modern color grading techniques, this is a bad excuse for exclusively casting white people in movies.

And you don’t have to make up excuses for Burton. He can tell you himself why he doesn’t feature people of color in his movies.

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.

Holy shit, I forgot about Artifact lol.

As a vegetarian who’s been excited for lab grown meat since I’d heard of the concept a decade ago, I wouldn’t hold your breath. It’s looking like one of those things that sounds great on paper, but isn’t viable at larger scale.

Jeff Bridges is one of the best parts of Tron, but his story in this world is over. If he only returns in flashbacks as uncanny de-aged Flynn again, that’s almost worse.
