iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

brought to you by militech-arasaka! i know wb already owned the IP, but this just feels bad

it's small potatoes in the face of the massive wave of cultural regression and political scapegoating and state-supported and -enacted violence against literally every underserved community, but it's also reflective of the fact that people are way too into everybody else's fucking business

remember those like 5 sweet years where people recognised that saying shit like "what did men do to deserve him?" or "ugh he's gay? what a waste" about gay celebrities was uncouth? girl he wasn't going to go out with you anyways, just enjoy looking like everybody else and move on

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

actually pretty fucked up of the galactic racer devs to put in a button prompt to pet the tooka cats, but pressing it just makes your character say "nah, i just wanna race." and you DON'T pet the cat. otherwise having a great time, hell of a game. the burnout legacy is strong!

I feel like more people should be talking about this part

Screenshot from the article that reads, The Stud, San Francisco's oldest gay bar, was only able to have its Meta pages restored because of the bars popularity among gay tech executives with connections to Meta

A large yellow LEGO store bag sits on the dining room table, along with three sets: Wallace & Gromit, Project Hail Mary, and an Astro-Bot gift with purchase. More LEGO is visible in the background, displayed mostly tastefully (in my opinion).

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

No interest in relitigating the strengths and weaknesses of the sequels but the lamest take as proven by time is “but the good guys won so why are things bad now?”

was talking on the phone with my parents the other day and mentioned that i was trying to find the right solution to bring my dnd group partially online and my dad (nearly 70, fox news type) goes "are you guys using discord?" and i cannot explain exactly why but that shook me to my core

genuinely i'm very glad that the blu-ray release of mando & grogu have not cropped out all the imax resolution changes. that shit still drives me crazy in the dune blu-rays (and i feel like the batman may have done the same?) because the effect was SO important to shot composition in key moments

if someone can figure out what genre it's supposed to be or how i'm meant to feel about any of the characters or visuals, do let me know. what i've gathered so far is that the old man has a shovel and emma d'arcy is in it for at least a minute or two

the way they're marketing digger tells me that it can only be either: a. a complete flop, with audiences leaving the cinema en masse before the 40 minute mark, or b. an artful and densely layered semi-prophetic vision, to be dissected in semester-long college courses for years to come.

most of the time when there's a thing you like that came out in high school, you still like it because you associate it with the excitement of being an impressionable youth. but sometimes it's because it's fucking sick as hell
