The golden age of video games was between when I was 13 and 21 years old. I was old enough to make spare cash to buy my own games and young enough to have spare time and energy to play them. Also my fast twitch reflexes were still good then so I could easily do a platformer or FPS. And this is true for everyone no matter when they were born.
For movies:
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain.
Watched as part of our trying to see all the best animated movies nominees.
Truely beautiful movie, touching and bittersweet. Not a chance in hell against K-Pop Demon Hunters but well worth your time.
For TV:
My partner and I are rewatching The West Wing and are currently slogging through the 5th season. Only sticking with it because I know once the next campaign starts in season 6 it really cooks again but man this Sorkinless season isn’t really very good.
Also honorary mention for Wonder Man which I watch last week but didn’t mention. What a great character piece Ben Kingsley and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are top notch and it’s not like anything else in superhero or Hollywood stories. And I’m amazed at the social commentary in it.
Honestly “regular conservative people” are too embarrassed by the racist morons to be conservatives anymore. If you still identify with the conservative movement today you are a racist moron.
This is actually an interesting question that depends a lot on a human perspective and what you define as ‘Generally Blue’ and what’s else is in the container.
I personally would define generally blue as when you have two colours, say red and blue M&Ms, and you reach in the container to pull out 3 you have a 50/50 chance of pulling out three blues. This definition would require that you have 79.58% blue M&Ms in your container.
Honestly this sounds like a bit high to me but probably can be a real bitch, and the test sounds secure to me.
Physiological I think 2/3 blue 1/3 red would have most people say it’s generally blue and the ratio would go down as you add other colours. I think 1/2 blue and 1/2 a mix of 4 or more colours people would still say it’s generally blue.
I’m a huge fan of Apollo I mean Voyager. I kid … I kid … Voyager is an awesome app and my daily drive for Lemmy. Pretty easy to use and not hard to look at either, but you really do need to use Dark Mode.
I just finished watching Wonder Man, and what a ride. Ben Kingsley and Yahya Abdul-Mateen are fucking amazing. I know I’m probably going get piled on for liking a Marvel show but it’s a major step up from most of their stuff lately. I’ve been really impressed with the stuff Destin Daniel Cretton‘s been doing lately and Yahya Abdul-Mateen was so good in Watchmen.
I’m saddened that nobody’s mentioned Chess. It’s an amazing rock opera by the guys from ABBA and Tim Rice. One Night in Bangkok slaps.
Yup! When Cox and Jordan are getting revenge for his botched vasectomy, the worthless peons sing the first half of this jingle again and again.
“In the future, if you’re wondering: ‘Crime. Boy, I don’t know,’ is when I decided to kick your ass."
I often use this quote in jest to my partner when my wife is actively annoying me replacing [ Crime. Boy I don’t know ] with what ever joke they’ve just made at my expense.
“I want my baby back … baby back … baby back …”
“Dear god! When do they say ribs?!”
And what happens when you’ve traveled back in time and smoke your weed before you get so stoned and ask this question? 😂
You’re good people and you will make an awesome clown someday.
Johnny Bravo and the Todd from Scrubs are low key the same guy in different stages of evolution.
I love this. There is literally nothing in the world better than listening to someone talk about something they are passionate about. You are an awesome person on the lemmings and hope you don’t mind that I’ve tagged you as “Fucking loves Clowns in a good way”. And honestly it’s never too late to chase you passion. You should look around for some clowning classes near you.
I remember reading an article interviewing a man who lived through the early aughts Argentine Great Depression and he said the best horde of value was cheap diamond rings. You could trade one for a handgun, a couple of bags of groceries, even a motorcycle. He said they were even better than krugerrands. Something about how people trusted someone whose trading a family ring more then some profiteer.
You kind of understand where he was coming from.

Yes I’m old and fuck you too
Honestly? My real conspiracy theory is that the the fappening wasn’t an Apple iCloud leak, it was a NSA leak.
In 2014 a whole bunch of celebrities nude photos got put up anonymously on 4chn and reddit. The FBI ended up blaming a guy from Cleveland. But during the same time the NSA was operating under a 6 hop rule for sweeping cell phones and operators at Langley were notorious for copying off photos from random cellphones that they could access too.
The 6 hops rule let the NSA guys get a secret warrant to remotely search a phone if someone is a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact who’s a suspected terrorist. That is a hell of a lot of people and I’m sure a lot of celebrities.
So I’m sure the guys at the NSA were collecting and then trading various celebrities nude photos, and one of them was stupid enough to start posting them for clout on 4chn. I believe that they were disciplined and that put a stop to it but they had to find someone to take the heat and they got Apple to do that.
If like Expedition with Steve Backshall you’ve got check his other works on the BBC. He did several series of Deadly 60 for kids and several Land of the … specials where he travels to other exotic locations. I saw him live talking about his travels and he took questions from kids in the audience and he’s quite charismatic and charming.
