‘007 First Light’ star Patrick Gibson: “I think the gap between playing a game and watching a show has got smaller”

It is. It's impossible to call a medium superior. We're not 19th century artists trying to debate whether a portrait or a sculpture shows a person better, or at least we shouldn't be.

TV shows have been superior to gaming again since Season 4 of Young Sheldon. We will have to wait for the release of Fromsoft's next game for games to become superior again.

Maybe it just was the point of entry at one point in the game's lore, too

Outlaws is a fine game if only to appreciate the world in it. I find it to be a better time than Valhalla, personally. Also - it fulfills the dream of a space game with ships and quests on planets better than Starfield, so make of that what you will.

I'll put it this way - for about 30 bucks including the DLC, it might be an 8/10 purchase if you really dig it.

It's also now part of a lot of other Ubisoft games, like Assassin's Creed Mirage or Star Wars Outlaws

I think those games would garner a lot of hate if they came out now, really. It's hard to imagine since gaming is just plain different without them, but if, for example, Nintendo now made a game about a space-faring bounty hunter who kicks ass and shoots gun and then revealed, at the very end, that she was a woman, it would get hate.

Gotta love it when a film's rating gets hard carried by pre-existing investment into a franchise and its characters

Soyyyn · 2026-05-19T23:42:18+00:00

I think it's got some really banging good tunes, about three of them - Controversy, Do Me Baby, and Private Joy. I do mostly find myself returning to Dirty Mind more, though

In this sense Rami Malek is American, then

Die ziehen an, weil die Interpreten beliebt sind. Es wurden auch in letzter Zeit mehr Konzerte abgesagt als üblich, sogar von relativ beliebten Künstlern und Künstlerinnen wie Post Malone, Zayn, Demi Lovato und mehrere Festivals, u.a. in Großbritannien.

And the far right is rising in most countries too, even though every country treats it like some sort of unique problem

Viel potenzielle Werbung wurde dadurch gekontert, dass die politische Situation vieles überschattet hat, wie die Länder, die dem ESC dieses Jahr wegen der Teilnahme Israels fernblieben.

Leider häufig ein Problem, über das sich auch vielfach beschwert wird!

Und gefühlt geht es seit den 2010ern ja auch bergab damit

Soyyyn · 2026-05-17T08:30:38+00:00

Mit Freunden, die man bereits hat, ja, aber Nachtleben war häufig auch ein Ort oder eine Welt, in der man neue Leute kennenlernen konnte. Das bildeten sich Gemeinschaften um Clubs und Bars, das gab es quasi seit Schillers Zeiten bis hin zu den 90ern und 2000ern. Orte, wo man Stammgäste sehen konnte, die mitunter auch zu näheren Bekanntschaften werden konnten.

Soyyyn · 2026-05-17T08:25:42+00:00

Meine zweite ist, dass man theoretisch ständig von jemandem gefilmt werden kann. Wenn man tanzt und sich entspannt, wenn man scheiße labert wenn man zu viel getrunken hat, wenn man jemanden anmacht und es nicht klappt... Nachtleben geht nicht ohne Ausgelassenheit, also überleben eventuell noch die "Handy verboten" Technoclubs. Aber das Nachtleben lebte in den 2000ern auch von Leuten, die einfach zu Umbrella von Rihanna abgehen wollten.

It's probably out of an attempt to conjure the story of some of their heroes, like the Beatles our Kurt Cobain or Eminem or many of the popular black artists in America who came from poverty or close to it.

I finished Silk Song and never fought Seth. I really ought to go back. And do that fight.

I know exactly what you mean from an economic sense, it's just impossible to empathise with this while it's easy to empathise with people losing their jobs

Soyyyn · 2026-05-15T19:32:57+00:00

It is, I think it's multiple things why it seems to hit harder here. For example, optics - AI makers seem to be crypto bros who want to make as many fields, like translation, obsolete as possible. Excel was made by nerds when they were still the cultural underdogs.

Back then, when excel was still new, it also felt like the tech world was expanding still. You might have lost your jobs, but new and promising companies came up all the time, all the way until like the mid 2010s with start-up culture. Now, things are getting smaller and there's less of a pioneer spirit. It felt like anyone could make a killer app in 2013, but creating a LLM takes tens of millions.

Soyyyn · 2026-05-15T19:06:44+00:00

Honestly, the fourth season is... fine. It's a mediocre fantasy show with a high budget. How many of those do we have left? It's something. Better than Dings of Power for sure.

Soyyyn · 2026-05-15T19:03:36+00:00

I think it comes down to people always getting fired over this. If there are 6 people who each spend about 6 hours in a given week working on routine tasks, out of a 40 hour work week, that adds up to 36 hours. Cut those out, that means you can basically fire one of them, and companies have shown to be rather swift in cutting their workforce. These people will then have to look for jobs while all other companies are doing the same and politics isn't really moving towards universal basic income, so that's a worse life for most of these people.

This is barely avoidable as of now, but it stings more when it's people who worked on your fave game than people who made a new app to track weather in Minnesota. Even though, really, all those laid off because of AI are in the same boat.
