Ok finally watching ‘Project Hail Mary’. Everyone seems to love it and some people whose opinions I care about actively hate it so I’m gonna see what’s what.

Went to Bandcamp to buy both of Angine de Poitrine’s albums because we need some Dadaist nonsense in these times and I like it when weird indie artists get money 🫶 🔺
Go forth, also: https://anginedepoitrine.bandcamp.com/
Teenage cousin: “Uncle Tom can I interview you for my school thing? I can do Monday or Tuesday.”
Me: “Sure! Tuesday is good.”
She: “Great what time?”
Me: “I’m free at 12?”
She: “I’m at school.”
Me: “Oh yeah.”
@reiayanami@aus.social oh oh I finally saw Obsession. What a masterpiece of indie horror, holy shit. 💀 I involuntarily started clapping when the credits rolled.

@vampiress I liked in Dead Space how the in-game inventory was real time and projected from your suit so if you wanted to access it (and be helpless for a bit) you really wanted to be in a safe space.

@trib faved this for when I have a spot - outside of our IRL group we play regular games/one-shot games through Discord. If you have a style or game system in mind, I can ping you next time I run something. We have a bunch of systems lying around and I’m keen to get my teeth into something 😝

@mighty_orbot @cstross @davidgerard this is so true. I think of Economics 2.0 quite a bit watching all this, ‘Faster but worse but MORE so it mak nr go up? REWARD’ automation.
My B R I Q U E V I L L E music collection is now complete. Finally bought the last mp3s off Bandcamp to add to my PlexAmp library, after getting the CDs to listen to in the car (my cigarette lighter plug breaking really propelled my “divest from streaming services, they are the death of civilisation” side project to the next level).
🎶 it hasn’t really been that long /
since our communication /
has gone intercontinental /
with cables, phone lines /
and missiles 🎶 #amlistening
Oooooh new the Ocean dropping 🤘
Finally watching “Good luck, have fun, don’t die” and it’s ticking all my boxes so far.
