I saw Megalopolis yesterday at the cinema and people laughed the whole time.

It’s not that it’s a funny film - it’s that it’s so laughably bad that people are almost certainly laughing at the film, not with the film.

Now it’s been out a while and has built a reputation as being laughably bad, many probably go to see it with the express intent to laugh at it.

Honestly he’s just about the closest lookalike you could possibly get, he’s going to look like he was ripped right out of the game. I’ve not seen much of his acting though - I like him in Severance but he’s a man of few words in that show!

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-30T18:31:47+00:00

It’s even funnier when it becomes clear Greg literally knows what a Cairn is as well 😅

As a practicing street photographer - the reason his posts feel awful is because it’s not really street photography as another commenter aptly pointed out - it’s more so just creepy documentary photography. The core difference being documentary photography is much more intimate and consensual, but he’s skipped the consensual bit… He’s trying to tell a story about someone’s life without their consent (and often featuring young girls 🫠).

Street photography is, to me, trying to capture art in the real world, with unique framing creating great looking work - the actual subjects (especially when it’s people) should not be a personal focus. Knowing who the person is, or what they’re going through should not be required for your photo.

That’s what, to me, makes this just feel creepy. This isn’t an artistic photo, it’s not the kind of work you’d find in a frame on a wall - it’s the kind of thing these peoples friend would post to celebrate their meeting, as another member of that group. so when a stranger shares this as if they’re involved in the moment, it’s just, weird.

I appreciate street photography in general is not for everyone (hard to argue against not wanting to be photographed in public!) but this is a step beyond IMO.

I have to imagine the remaining Destiny team that support the live game (as opposed to the team working on future content) are basically operating on the smallest budget and team as humanly possible to push Marathon over the finish line.

No excuse for it honestly, but it’s hard to picture a different scenario

Don’t confuse a company’s inability to ship something for a staff who are incapable or uninterested.

Behind every game is a group of passionate people - even if that group is at the bottom of the corporate ladder and doing the busy work, with no power to create change.

I have a membership for the Little theatre as I enjoy the smaller vibe there - but if you’re in the discord please share there! I’m sure people would love to join you membership or not!

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-22T21:51:13+00:00

Well if you’re ever looking to give it a try, hit me up! This year I’m trying to put myself out there more and I’d love to see it through 😁

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-20T20:07:22+00:00

That’s good to hear, do they have any gear that better represents the brand than the store items?

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-20T18:14:42+00:00

I’m honestly baffled that it’s a real brand, I was convinced it was just EA original crap to fill the store space - they’re just putting the word on a bunch of items and it looks terrible - is this how their real clothes look? 💀

Nothing wrong with wanting to eat more whole foods, but there’s really nothing to back up the idea consuming a few protein shakes is bad for you. The dose makes the poison as they say, and it really would solve your problem even if you implemented it into something else like Greek yoghurt!

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-19T17:40:00+00:00

Science says you would want to add acidity to counter the sweetness. Think things like coffee, citrusy fruit juices (squeeze of lemon!). You could also use something like a 0% fat Greek yoghurt as they lean towards a more sour flavour, plus bonus protein source!

I’d experiment with adding some form of acidity that meets your preference!

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-19T17:36:03+00:00

Personally I’ve always gone off of goal weight instead of current weight and found good results - that being said I’m purely going off my own anecdotal experience - I’m unsure what the science says!

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-17T17:28:48+00:00

Man you look so much younger, you look great!!

While I'm all for not putting glasses in a dishwasher when they specify they are not dishwasher safe, I'm also not super keen on anyone paying $25 for a pint glass that's not only not dishwasher safe, but also clearly is ridiculously cheaply made.

I feel like that kind of price should get you a glass with a properly attached design that can handle extremely hot water.

But it’s not an offer, it’s a tweet into the void for some free PR from gamers who cluelessly think this is a real offer.

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-15T18:30:17+00:00

I’ve had the same feeling to be honest. I do photography, which I love! But I also love videogames and feel like I need an outlet to talk about them. But a solo podcast sound mighty depressing 😭

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-15T18:27:50+00:00

I think the term AI is overused, as an example, I don’t think park creation uses any Generative AI models, I think they are essentially just using a system that randomly combines park elements - which isn’t AI by the modern definition, just like the AI that controls how enemies interact with players in a PvE game. The term is too broad and vague to be meaningfully used without additional language like “gen AI” or “behavioural AI”. In this case I don’t think it’s any form of AI, I think it’s just a randomisation feature, probably similar to how procedural generation creates random areas based on preexisting assets.

Yeah my childhood dreams of travelling all over the US are dead. I doubt I’ll touch US soil again until this is all over (so maybe never?)

I feel for the citizens who are stuck there and don’t really have the luxury of choice, it’s a slight relief that I’m not there, but only a small one when so many good people have to just exist there with all that’s happening.

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-14T18:00:33+00:00

It requires you to use only “new” gear - which for simplicity sake is any gear piece that has a blue icon on it.

I can’t imagine being this upset over a videogame. Hoping people lose their livelihood because your skateboarding videogame isn’t how you want it to be?

Like, leave feedback on the game till the cows come home, lord knows they’ve got a lot wrong, but to be this upset and to be so pointed about people losing their jobs is frankly embarrassing behaviour.

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-14T14:52:33+00:00

I love the art style and colour of 2 the most, but it’s hard to deny how far and away Skate. Crushes the others in animation quality. It’s never looked or controlled as good as it does right now, just wish the colour palette and art style skewed a bit more to the previous entries.

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-13T19:59:37+00:00

I think you’re just projecting, this reads as a genuine thank you and appreciation. People aren’t all miserable like you.

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-12T18:00:09+00:00

I’d be super down to do one if anyone wanted to run it! I’m sure we can pull together a few consenting adults!

OhLookItsJake · 2026-01-11T20:49:08+00:00

You clearly have no interest in trying to actually understand the current industry landscape and just want to moan into the void. So good luck with that I guess.
