Comm PhD who went rogue and slums it as a data scientist. Still can't quite get *all* the academia out of him.

@hankgreen There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

@ohsolanier2 I had to go to Chicago several times for a job I had 6-8 years ago and found myself, for lack of a better word, incompatible with it.

It is a beautiful city, but I can’t put together two back-to-back positive memories I had in that city and I was born there and hate it, which is why I almost never go back. It’s a great place (for me) to visit for 48 hours, then I got to get out of there.

People are so mad about the Always Sunny poster because it looks AI-generated, which got me wondering what slop actually looks like. What is it about this image that evokes slop to you?

@OranGiraffes @scoobysnactime @pqdres The taps were copy/pasted, they're all identical, this isn't something generative AI can do. Same for the wheat on the title; artifacts of someone having handmade it in a slop-style. It's viral marketing by rage bait, whether intentionally or not.

@funnyToasty I long for the day when people on this app no longer have worldviews that rely on Steam concurrent player counts.

"We want games, not art" The constant battle of what a "real gamer" wants has led us here, where video games apparently should not be art. What a sad world to live in, where the greatest medium that combines every artistic pursuit into one, should not be art.
Grummz@Grummz

Bluesky and Xbox shills are moaning over the loss of these four studios. Two of them actually worked with consultants like Anita Sarkeesean and Sweet Baby Inc. None of them produced even Indie numbers of gamers. What you have is people who wanted games to be art, to employ their art friends, and to be completely subsidized by governments, corporations etc to carry forward their personal values and messages. Gamers said nope, we want games, not art, not messages, and this is what happens.

@CoraBuhlert I just don’t think there’s enough of audience in the “Gen X dads who can still get out to movie theaters” category to support this specific a piece of nostalgia.

I just don't get it. Almost everyone who watched Masters of the Universe enjoyed the movie. Many people went to see it several times. Word of mouth is great. So how can this still be considered a bomb?
Global Box Office@GlobalBoxOffice

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE dropped -71% domestically on its second weekend. With a budget of nearly $200M, it is now tracking to become one of biggest box office bombs of all time.

There's a side of Genshin only long time players can experience. All these years where Varka, Alice, Istaroth, etc. were only names/voices. And you wake up one day, you see the face of the 4 shades, you scroll, and: "Wait that wasn't fanart. That was official??? WTF happened??"

@CalumDouglas1 @TheCinesthetic There is a certain amount of “because we need the rest of the movie to happen” that I’m willing to tolerate and this movie burned through that allotment before the first half was over.

The first five minuites of this film were quite good, the rest of of it contains an endless stream of some of the most moronic plot-brain-farts I`ve ever seen. Culminating in the "oh look at the pretty alien snake monster !" moment which will live with me until my death as one of the most stupid things ever to have been recorded on film. The fact it made the final cut is beyond any rational explanation other than medically diagnosable levels of cranial editing and writing disfunction.

PROMETHEUS turns 14 today. It marked Ridley Scott’s return to the ALIEN universe after 33 years. Rather than make a direct sequel, Scott used PROMETHEUS to explore the origins of humanity & the mysterious Space Jockey first glimpsed in the original film.

@queersincrypto @javier078 Season 1 is one of the best overall seasons of Tv that exists. Season 2 is a bit more convoluted but is has the best individual episode of the entire series. I personally like S3 more than S2 and think it’s even more relevant now. S4 was largely a dud for me.

@javier078 I keep hearing the first season is great, and it drops off the second season and worse the rest of the way. I have only the first two seasons, and basically hearing to watch the first season and consider it being cancelled at a great high and not ruin it after. Thoughts?

@Srirachachau We knew there was something weird going on with that character, but there was no consensus as to what/who it was before the reveal. Definitely not like Westworld S1 where Reddit had most of the major twists like 99% figured out episodes in advance.
