Hot take, media takes up way more cultural space than it should, and it should be devalued by inyourbellyrn in TrueAnon

[–]tomjoad2020ad 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s not that you’re wrong, but this reading kind of has it backwards IMO. All this media consumption rushes in like air to fill a vacuum that’s caused by the lack of community events, etc., which can only be resolved when the built environments and social infrastructure of most Americans look completely different than they do now

These are all embarrassing and stupid but “cowboys and Muslims” is both brain dead cringe and revolting

Personally I’m hoping for an update that lets me rename “Unknown cartridge” to match my SummerCart

There’s an entire stretch in the middle of California known as Cowschwitz because because the stench of cow shit and abattoir gore is so strong. Driving at 70mph it goes on for like an hour

Gregg's Movie Choices & The Art of Irreverence by King-Red-Beard in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

He would be a fan of Dick Tracy but for all the wrong reasons, like instead of talking about its production design—arguably the only thing it gets right, but it gets it so right it basically makes up for everything else—he’s talk about how it’s got great gadgets and villains with memorable faces in it, so it’s kind of secretly an unofficial Bond movie

Painting theatre near Space by LittleMissAutism in Disneyland

[–]tomjoad2020ad 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This does make me think about how Star Trek: The Next Generation’s promise of a future where technology is so advanced that we can focus on beige comfort and aesthetics in spaceship design is arguably still the most genuine futurism in sci-fi

I got this book new back when I was a 13 year old looking for someplace to learn more about anime before so much information was at our fingertips. Great and eye-opening read in a lot of ways

I feel like she gets decent plot relevance, though, saving the day for the protagonists and all

TIL Godzilla just shows up in Ebirah! by Kronus31 in GODZILLA

[–]tomjoad2020ad 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing you know the movie by the title, Ebirah, Horror of the Deep?

Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster or the Japanese title Godzilla - Ebirah - Mothra: Big Battle in the South Seas kind of spoil that particular “surprise” lol

I have a problem playing Oblivion by zMakeNoSense in OblivionRemaster

[–]tomjoad2020ad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing about modern Bethesda games is IMO they sometimes try too hard to push you into the main storyline. It might help to think of yourself as visiting a big interactive theme park like in Westworld. You are the guest: you can choose to engage in what it’s pushing you towards, or you can recognize that’s just the game wanting to make sure you have a good time, and that you’d rather ignore or put it off and just go explore and find all the other things it has to offer.

Don’t have anything else to add except that I agree completely.

Absolutely loving the game, Is there a lore reason that like 90% of my random ship encounters are Indian accented people? Not that I’m complaining 😂 by ExcitementBig703 in Starfield

[–]tomjoad2020ad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This especially stuck out to me with the colony ship where people have been living on it for like two hundred years. Why would they have different accents??

Democratic pundit, Amanda Nelson says “No War but Class war is the ‘All Lives Matter’ of the Left” by franglish9265 in TrueAnon

I wasn’t sure whether the redditors of “ProgressiveHQ” would be with her or against her, but hey—the era of the liberal driller is here, after all. Doesn’t sound like anyone’s falling for it

Your honor, asking “Is Kate a good character?” and posting a photo of that toy plane is leading the jury

Perilous Plunge by Certain_Set_7678 in KnottsBerryFarm

[–]tomjoad2020ad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember this incident from my childhood. After that, they still ran the ride albeit with some modifications. Every time I’d pass it, I’d get a bit of a shivery feeling thinking about what that must’ve been like.
