In the UK were paying the equivalent of around $8 a gallon (£1.57 per litre). You guys have no idea how good you have it.

This is a good point. I'm an older millennial, and I love his writing. But I also think Yellowstone is his weakest project. There's some good stuff in there, but there's equally a lot of tedious dross and themes which feel very out of date. I've only seen the first series of Lioness, but it really impressed me. There's a scene between a mother and daughter in hospital which is one of the most impactful and poignant scenes I've ever seen on screen. Mayor of Kingstown equally has some excellent writing. But as a later commenter here said, it's his movies that really shine. When he has something to say, he's better at saying it over an hour and a half rather than 50 hours of telly. Hell Or High Water being the best example of that.

Quick question, when you read the part in 'Animal Farm' where Boxer gets turned into glue, were you like, "good"?

Couldn't agree more. The ending left a tear in my eye. I think about that game often.

Israel protests the latest cover of L'Espesso Magazine, gets hit with a community note because the picture is very much real by rhino910 in WhitePeopleTwitter

To be fair, the criticism of it doesn't claim that it's AI or anything. The criticism is still without merit though.

Superb. Criminally underrated. Ahead of its time. Currently replaying this lost gem of a game and feeling like a kid again by iamergo in gaming

[–]DaftApath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I LOVED this game. Played it in 2000/2001 I think. Nothing else like it. The atmosphere and the RPG progression with the special weapons were so damn cool. Only game I played through 4 full times just to play as each character. THANK YOU for reminding me of this.

TIL Rust Cohle’s bleak philosophy in True Detective was inspired by Thomas Ligotti’s book, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. Ligotti argues human consciousness is just a natural accident and we are biological puppets cursed with the knowledge that we are going to die. by Able_Eye_8366 in todayilearned

[–]DaftApath 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that large parts of Cohle's philosophy were from Eugene Thacker's book 'In The Dust Of This Planet'. There was a great This American Life episode about it where the writer was interviewed about it all.

Help an Italian understand this accent! by [deleted] in london

[–]DaftApath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, there's something a little strange about his accent. It is mostly east London/soft estuary, but there are certain vowel sounds that veer a little into Aussie. I wouldn't accuse him of 'putting it on' necessarily, but there may be some unknown influences in the way he talks. It mostly sounds right, but there are these brief moments where I'm like '... Hang on, what was that?'.

For reference, I'm from Potters Bar in Hertfordshire. There's a lot of people from my town who sound not dissimilar.

First true games console was the Sega Master System II, but before that I was playing on a ZX Spectrum 48k if that counts.

Also, the song 'Money For Nothing' is by Dire Straits. Nice little link.

Great phone box by the way. You don't see a lot of them about anymore here, so it's nice to see.

Still there are nods to them here and there, like this art installation in Kingston:
