Seems interesting.

Never been more glad that I don’t follow shitposters or shitpost communities. Can’t believe that community is as big as it is anyway considering how annoying shitposting is.

Can’t believe I’m excited about a Netflix movie.

This. I always thought this was the tease of Shran joining. I don’t know about everyone else but Shran is possibly my favorite character in all of Star Trek. He is so compelling and interesting. I don’t feel like we’ve done near enough exploration of Andorian culture and would love too see that get some screen time in the vein of the Vulcans or Klingons

I just binged this show over the weekend including the new season 2 episode. I keep watching because I think it’s gonna get interesting but it honestly hasn’t yet. It’s first and foremost written like a bad network drama, trying to be something like “this is us” and then some expensive cameras and a few generic sci-fi plot points are mixed in. I’m a big sci-fi fan and this is a major letdown from that perspective. I think most of the dramatic elements also are a letdown because the characters are constantly making the absolute worst decisions possible at all times and none of those decisions make any sense in the context of their characters. The amount of frustration that family it focuses on generates is palpable. Every single person in that family is a straight up idiot. The wife for enabling her shitty husband, acting like his lapdog, and for constantly making poor decisions after the invasion (season 1 she is more preoccupied with her failing love life than watching her kids or staying alive), I don’t even have to explain why the dad is a POS, and the kids seem to have been taught absolutely nothing their entire lifetimes. Idc if there’s an alien invasion, no one is so sheltered they will make a bunch of a noise when a scary alien monster is in the next room.

I could rant about each of the storylines but I’ll spare that unless someone wants discuss. Overall season 1 had major pacing and story issues but ones I kinda thought could be corrected in subsequent seasons. While this season 2 opener felt like it was from a different show, I’m happy about that and hope it will find its footing. Lots of great sci-fi doesn’t happen till season 2 or 3 of shows so I’m sticking it out for now.

Tl:dr, the show is a disappointment and the writing is almost always awful. Hoping season 2 improves because sometimes sci-fi shows take time to develop and find their footing.

My partner got like $700 bucks last time one of these happened.

This looks awesome.

I 100% agree.

Yeah, your theatrical edition blockbuster isn’t gonna have any value but your limited run boutique remaster or out of print cult classic will sell for an arm and a leg.

General sales are down but boutique labels are flourishing. Physical media isn’t dying anytime soon, especially when streaming still can’t reach the quality of physical media and people who have solid home theater systems want to push their setups.

I’m interested in a Prodigy film series. Spider-verse has really charged up audiences on animation and I think TMNT’s recent success along with the Spider sequel supports this notion. The key is having a solid story and refreshing animation. Prodigy will have to significantly improve its visual style to succeed but an actual movie budget could allow for it. It’s clear folks are over standard pixaresque/Nickelodeon 3d animation in movies.

Honestly, this is a pretty clear interpretation of the implied subtext.

There’s not really an algorithm. All the feed filters in voyager are time and traction based as far as I’m aware. Part of having social media that isn’t primarily designed to influence our thinking in order to buy things or generally encourage you to spend all your time on it means we have to sacrifice having content served up to us based on our viewing habits (I.e. intrusive profile models based on personal data). This means lemmy feeds will sometimes have odd mixes of content because you’re just seeing things in mostly chronological order. Mostly is italicized because there’s some traction based filters but that’s irrespective of the type of content.

Maybe memmy has introduced its own algo? Would be curious if anyone that knows for certain could comment.

Sam the cooking guy is around 3.5M and I think he’s pretty underappreciated too.

I love everything SNW has done, including the musical. Can’t wait for season 3 to experiment even more.

It has the limitation of terrible quality 99% of the time.

Looks awesome

Definitely not like Skyrim apart from the fantasy setting, the game is narrative driven and everything is handcrafted by the devs. Skyrim has way too much randomly generated stuff to feel as rich as BG3. The game also is based off of dnd rules and is not real time action oriented like Skyrim, when not exploring you do things in a turn based mode and have to manage actions/bonus actions/and spell slots to do things. You also manage a party of 4 players and not just the one you make.

If you get the game and don’t have experience with DnD, definitely watch some battle mechanics videos cuz the game isn’t gonna explain all the nuances you should know to be effective.

The people that use it this way ruin it for everyone else.
