I loved Van Helsing. It was seriously brain dead entertainment but action was great and the effects were good. I loved The Brothers Grimm, that came out the year after, better though. Horror movie, comedy, action. I passed that movie over back then because of the critics, so took a few more years until I actually got to see it.

He took a byte very literally.

It was great up until the last 15 minutes, I remember. And it was beautifully artful. But I was a bit colored by the comics, the villain and his motives was just so much better there.

Loved the characters, but the movie plot felt like a clipshow of a bigger plot that didn’t fit into 2 hours. I haven’t watched the anime but it probably was.

I loved Ron Perlman’s Hellboy, but the Hellboy 2019 movie was the best. Felt more like a comicbook pulp story and less of a 2000-ish action comedy. But the public and critics has spoken; if it ain’t a standard superhero action comedy flick, it is a “soulless” reboot.

Here you go.

you can’t really put the blame on guns since they’re just physical objects.

Thats a language issue. Words can mean two similar things. Nobody is putting the blame on the guns as if they could put them on a trial.

That people (both the CTO and devs) eventually asking ME for suggestions. And acting on it even if on projects I’ve barely touched while working there. They been through multiple years of university and some have been through multiple jobs. I’m just a guy who knew a bit programming when I was hired as phone support 13 years ago.

I love the team though. It was just me and the CTO that did dev for many years, and now we are 7.

It was 2002,I was 17. We were doing a end of the year show at school of Media and Communications, and we needed some cool intro music. So this classmate brought a CD, “Burn The Sun” by Ark, a prog-metal band.

Before this I believed I didn’t have any interest in music. I hated the repetetive pop music playing on the radio, and had no interest in the kinda music my hometown friends listened to. Nobody listened to metal there. But after this I started looking for more music like this. Wasn’t in the record stores, but I found a lot online. No wonder the record shops went out of business.

Jupp, gonna be a lot of activity here then, I believe.

Also fighting copyright claims from the music and movie industry is even more expensive and difficult.

Microsoft (with their Azure) has more than enough storage space. They got CDNs and video streaming technologies (that anyone can use in their own products). But they’ve still given up their own music streaming service and public video upload service.

Oh eff. ANOTHER game in the aug-oct months of games I’m looking forward to. 7 games in 3 months, most of them big.

Jup. Surface Pro: Very lightweight, solid, powerful (for its size), fan-less (some models), both tablet and laptop, has an okay stylus. Whats not to like? Oh, right, the default OS. 😊

Furries. I seriously don’t get the hate. Its just people with artsy hobbies. And if some of them put a bit of adult stuff into it too, why is that a problem? Theres enough other weirder sex stuff going on in the world that isnt hated.

And actual nerds was hated back in the 90s. I didn’t get that either. They do nothing but doing their hobbies far away from you and sports and mass social stuff. Lot of them was just introverts. Cringy comedies was made about them, and that continues today with stuff like The Big Bang Theory. But in early 2K nerding was suddenly “cool” and everyone used the word and watered it into meaninglessness.

Anyone who enjoy being in the spotlight. Like seriously how people are mobbing any (failed) attempt at attention seeking. Why is it that nobody is allowed to stick out? Is it envy? I got no envy for them, I enjoy not having too much attention on me. But people who enjoy it should be allowed to do so without being hated.

So its about big corpos spreading misinformation and trying to kill something small to earn more money. Lemmy (and the fediverse) wouldn’t know anything about that, right?

Is that cleaned up or are there a pile there after a while?

In my culture its common courtesy to thank a person after the meal, either the one who made it, brought it, or paid for it. But only if they’re present. It ain’t a ritual. Same-ish thing.

More varied sizes. I’m a tall guy who is also fat. But I’m not so fat as the clothes in my sizes think I am.
