Lmao this reads like Warhammer 40K lore, it's amazing

I've just been watching through Futurama again, and so many of the lines never fail to crack me up.

I just watched the episode in season 3 where Zap, Kiff, Leela and Amy go on a double date, and the space station restaurant starts crashing so Zap takes the wheel to "save the day". As he takes the wheel he says so confidently"She's built like a steakhouse but handles like a Bistro" and that line absolutely slays me. I was almost in tears hearing it again, I love Zap as a character so much.

I love how sinister this comes off.

Roald Dahl's books (most) have such dark undertones, this picture feels so in universe I love it

This is incredible, well done!

A'Tuin gang represent!

Also it's kind of crazy to me the amount of traffic it gets every. Single. Time. I know they have a bot issue, but do people just like that they know they have a popular opinion and just want to see rhe up votes or is it just one of those "watch the same movie 15 times for the comfort of it" type things. Either way I find it wild.

Have they not threatened the communities with scabs as well? Like "if you don't mod this, we will find someone who will". The whole thing just seems super toxic and I really feel for the mods who genuinely cared and cultivated their subreddits. A lot of time and effort to be put into something for it to be thrown in their face for the sake of money.

A very Toronto doggo I must say

Slice and Dice is a solid phone game, easy time waster and a lot of fun rolling some dice to kill some baddies. In general though I do think they are quite trash, but ports and emulators are probably the best option

Been loving seeing how active this place is getting, I didn't post often on Reddit but this just feels better somewhow, and I feel more inclined to comment on contribute!

Couldn't agree more, I use psychadelics a few times a year, and nothing brings be to that same feeling OP was describing like LSD or mushrooms. Some of the best conversations and experiences I've ever had agave been on psychedelics, I laugh till I cry almost everytime I've done them. have had bad trips in my life, but I feel like Set and Setting are hugley important as well as having respect for the drug. Overall highly recommend.

I'm reading Deaths End the 3rd book in the "Three Body Problem" series.

Some of the best sci-fi I've ever read, super unique ideas, I was blown away with some of the concepts in this series.

I'm such a weirdo with this, because I don't mind owning digital games, but I really don't enjoy reading books digitally. I have a massive library that my partner is constantly exasperated by ahah

I've actually started a work journal to catalogue what I do in a day. I find I do a lot of things outside of my job description so I started journaling it as a way to see what I do and what I'm "supposed to"

I think it's really helped me with my overall memory. I'm still pretty forgetful, but I've genuinely been getting better at remembering things which is super nice for me (and my partner ahah)

I feel like that's a common trend in modern media, a lot of remakes and alternate versions of the same story. Like they are bringing back Harry Potter as a series, and they are doing a peter pan and Wendy thing as well. Seems like there aren't a ton of original things that are getting these big budgets. Not saying there aren't original things coming out, they don't seem to be what the Hollywood "default" is at the moment

Yeah I'm here from RIF on connect, feels good. Still missing a few things, like I don't have a "hot" filter, I seem to be seeing a lot of the same posts. But over all after the past two weeks of using Lemmy, I'm happy to be away from Reddit

I do love the visual protest, but do you not have to go on Reddit to access space? Still giving them lot's of traffic for the sake of something that may not even appear on the admins radar just seems a little ineffective. Again, love the protest, I just wonder about its efficacy.

I was actually just telling someone about that on Thursday, I didn't even think to make that connection! The robots at the table splitting the bill as the core of the drive is so funny. Douglas Adams is a beauty.

My thoughts exactly, this is still generating a lot of traffic for reddit, and more proves the point that it doesn't matter what they pull, as long as they do some cool stuff that only happens on Reddit, people will still go. Maybe using place for advertising the fediverse would be better but even then, still using the system. Don't know the answer, just not sure this is as effective as we would hope.
