One of my contrarian takes: Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since. It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies. “Excess meets innocence.” The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity. Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX. Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech: Mobile phones The internet Social media AI All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society. We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one. Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction. Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

Beat the superboss recently too. Now waiting for the Octopath 3 announcement.

Oh thank god

Well done, sir! Looks like a key to a long life is constantly being active and having goals.

@douwantme2killu Where did SE say this?

I know this will never happen, and SE themselves already clarified that Octopath 0 will be the last game that is set in the continent of Orsterra, but I just had fun thought.. what if we get another Octopath in Orsterra but it's decades after the event of Octopath 1?

@lionheartaxe0 Where can I vote?

Also Octopath AND Bravely Default mentioned in the survey

We can't have clean energy because it will destroy the oil industry. We can't have healthcare because it will destroy the health insurance industry. We can't have peace because it will destroy the weapon industry. Capitalism built a system we can't afford to do the right thing.

Speaking about the deep contradictions in human nature, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada said: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about the relatives still in their lives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have a partner often fail to appreciate them. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the full complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one. The key to happiness is gratitude—to truly see and value what we already have, and to understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what we take for granted.”

🚨: According to Philosophy, the highest form of peace is to have zero desire to be understood, admired, pitied or even known.

The 9-to-5 was invented in 1926. We put a man on the moon, mapped the human genome, and built artificial intelligence — but never updated the human work schedule. Think about that.

@screenrant That's all you learned?

According to executive producer, Noga Landau, #StarTrek: Starfleet Academy season 2 will feature the sci-fi franchise at its "best" in a host of new concept episodes: "There’s some really big concept episodes in Season 2 that really invoke Trek at its best that I’m so excited for the audience to watch because I think something we learned about our audience reception in Season 1 is that people really do love these episodes that are sort of close-ended stories that really feel like a complete meal."

Exactly. Stop with the prequels!

@DaveCullenShow I have to disagree. The Disney thing doesn't scare me much. Disney has produced some good TV, it's not all bad. And, imagine if they get Tim Minear back, could be done very well still. Let's do it!
