Excellent joke. No notes.

That’s okay. In a year or two they’ll call it a “cult classic” and make another anyway.

I knew we were in trouble when that damn… that egg commercial. That guy. I knew that was… the government’s take on drugs, you know, were fucked. Believe me. “Here’s your brain.”

I’ve seen a lot of weird shit on drugs. I’ve never ever ever EVER EVER looked at an egg and thought it was a fuckin’ brain. Not once. Alright? I have seen UFOs split the sky like a sheet, but I have never, ever, ever looked at an egg and thought it was a fuckin’ brain… NOT ONCE. I have had seven balls of light come off of a UFO, lead me onto their ship, explain to me -telepathically - that we are all one and there is no such thing as death, but I have never ever ever ever looked at an egg… and thought it was a fuckin’ brain.

Now… Maybe I wasn’t getting good shit.

“Covenant” and “Prometheus” would’ve been killer movies to kick off a new IP.

I might be the old man shouting at clouds, but I’ve been turned off to all franchise “reboots”. Just sick of rehashes and revisits and the cute little “winks” these movies do to the previous installments. Have an original thought, damn.

Notes while I’m watching:

1. The “vibe” is different - in my head I translated this to “he likes the GUI more”
2. Minetest has zero “story” / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it’s purely a sandbox experience.
3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
4. Mods are built-in, and don’t require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
5. Customization via the Settings menu

The “built-in support for mods” caught my eye. That’s pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod “sandbox” to play in.

Gotta brush up on the ol’ powershell

One day I hope to write a “go fuck yourself” email of this caliber.

Just occurred to me - are there streamers who read books aloud for their audience? Like a live audiobook?

The scariest thing in the world would be if they gave Sinbad another tv show.

I hear you, but consider it goes well beyond the sticky plant - simply possessing marijuana in many areas of the US can still get you thrown in jail. With many of those same states enforcing “mandatory terms” for drug crimes, we have thousands of people jailed for years for non-violent offenses. We have a lot of huge issues to deal with, but the “War on Drugs” from the start was a thin veil for persecuting minorities, and it’s still going.

I’m hoping for the rest of your list of requests, too, but personally I think federal weed legalization would have a wider-reaching, far more profound impact on our population than forgiving student loans.

is now suspended with pay — her salary is $232,600 a year

For her outburst she’s been rewarded with not having to work & she’s still getting a six-figure paycheck. Must be nice.

Is this some European thing I’m too American to understand?

Genuinely wonder if there’s some correlation in there. It’d be fascinating if global acceptance of homosexuality would eliminate fascist tendencies. I’d watch that movie.

Seems like they’re focusing on the body horror more than the previous installments with the close-up shots of facehuggers and that long-ass chest buster scene. Something tells me we won’t get much in terms of story or character development, but I guess we’ll see.

I think it’ll be a fun watch, but also looks to be just rehashing everything we’ve seen out of the franchise already.

That sounds awesome.

It’d be cool to get enough of 'em together to start a decent Lemmy community.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

$750 - $1,000 for the prebuilt? $400 for the DIY option?

I know mechs are known for being expensive, but yikes. This looks cool and it seems like a novel idea, but it’s hard to rationalize that purchase when there’s Kenesis or Moonlanders selling at ~$400.
