Yeah, in good and in bad, this place is a lot like “the old days of the internet”, but thankfully more in the good way than the bad. People keep complaining about shit I haven’t seen for a second, constantly there are actions from the mod/admin side about shit I’ve never even seen etc. Even without proper mod tools and shit it seems like everything is working out quite well. To which I and all of us owe a huge thank you to the people working on this stuff.

Thank you people! Thank you for making this place feel like home and something greater than what we’ve had for a long ass time.

Out of all the things that Spotify is shitty for that’s the least of my worries about them, and I fucking hate right-wing shitheads. People would rather see the artists they love starve if it gave them convenience to enjoy their art without actually paying for what they do.

It’s honestly kind of baffling to see people go up in arms enough to side with fucking Disney “in support of artists” because AI is supposedly stealing from them and the same people go on with their lives and put on Spotify and feel self-righteous. People fucking suck.

Castlevania, Zelda and Silent Hill (though I’d say all first 3) mentioned so I’m gonna say Alundra. Sure it’s very Zelda/JRPG, but that game had some amazing music that just sticks with you.

Also a little tongue in cheek, but Adventures of Lolo. I’m not sure if there’s just one song throughout the trilogy, but it sure feels like it. Weirdly it doesn’t bother you. It’s like a hypnosis that just makes you play one more level. One more try. Kind of like the Tetris soundtrack, but it never gets old.

probably my favorite Aronofsky movie along with Pi Same! I think a lot of it has to do with it being a kind of a sad, sappy and dark from the start or something, I don’t know. I just feel like people don’t necessarily like the vibe and mood of it (as if something like Requiem for a dream is any more hopeful or upbeat). It’s a very powerful movie.

Oh my god thank you, been trying to find something that does exactly this for a while. Subscribed to hundreds of communities and blocked even more and I was seriously considering adding and blocking everything manually to another account on another instance. Thank god I was lazy with that.

Yeah, my parents went from chucking EVERYTHING in the same bin, food waste, cardboard, paper, batteries, whatever it is it went in the same bin and it smelled like death and leaked every single time. Now they recycle cardboard, at least milk cartons. I mean sure, there’s some change, but what use is it when the change should be pretty fucking big to make a difference - like you say, too little too late.

I’m glad this is happening while most of the Boomers are still alive, they can see exactly what kind of world they’re passing on to their grandchildren before they go.

LMAO as if they give a shit. I talked with my parents about how they’re so privileged to be able to be so carefree (read: careless) about everything while I probably won’t ever see retirement or necessarily be able to drink water from the tap (we have excellent water) like they do and it was like I was talking an alien language. They don’t give a fuck.

My folks had a stove with two (electric) heat elements in the same way I assume OP has, to use both, you had to go 360° all the way to a full circle where it “clicked”, then go back to where you wanted it at. Much easier and sensible IMO than whatever the hell this headache is.

It is! Clint Mansell and Aronofsky are a match made in heaven, but The Fountain is one of favorite soundtracks of all time and the one I listen to the most. I don’t tend to listen to soundtracks all that much, but I find myself listening to the Fountain all the time

I was honestly a little shocked to find The Fountain rated so low, Tomatometer (fuck the tomatometer anyway, audience score is where it’s usually at) was 52% with scathing reviews, the audience score fortunately remedied the situation with 74% cause I was seriously starting to look for another site.

And for it’s opposite: The Blair Witch Project is 86% vs 56%. I haven’t seen it in ages, have been planning to, but it was one of my favorite movies for a while.

Well I mean, while Gen-Z humor and memes are mostly a lot more abstract and surreal and while there are elements of that in the beans meme it’s not really just that. It’s a concept piece. In a similar way Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup was and similar pieces of art.

The whole point was to make a point about something, namely, like the title of the post lays it out itself “I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans”. What it says about the lemmy community, maybe nothing, maybe it’s just a fucking can of beans and there really is no intended or inherent deeper meaning and that is irrelevant really.

My point being, it’s kind of all things you talked about, but even more, but also just beans. Schrödinger’s beans.

Greg does the best impression of Wiseau ever. You can find him read the whole book. It’s hilarious

Ooooh I completely forgot Primer!

Lol, haha, I never thought about that. I used to watch a shit-ton of movies as a teen. Got into horror movies, David Lynch and weird stuff early on so I kind of dove into the deep end very early and with no social life there was a lot of time to watch a lot of stuff.

I seem to be having a phase where I don’t really watch movies that much (series more than ever), but when I do it’s usually kind of “comfort food” so I’m mostly watching all-time favorites over and over again.

The Thing,

Naked Lunch,

Evil Dead 1 & 2,

The Big Lebowski,

Videodrome,

Alien,

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,

For a Few Dollars More,

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,

Lost Highway & Mulholland Drive,

The Fountain, Pi, The Holy Mountain, El Topo, Princess Mononoke, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Big Trouble in Little China, The Wicker Man (the og)

And I probably watched Donnie Darko and Ichi the Killer enough times as a teen that they both reach the top

God I watch a lot of movies still.

e:typo, not Donnie Dario

They’re blocking the dashcam or something? I think.

You just introduced me to a completely new concept to me and like magic, made my one of my all time favorite games (and a bunch of others) unbelievably more replayable. I was fine with only playing it once or twice a decade, but I guess I gotta play it more now.

No way, where are you from? Over here it’s 50% farts, 30% air, 20% chips.

IMO Shameless was great for the first few seasons and then quickly deteriorated into 75% ragebaity bullshit. I mean I watched it all the way through anyhow, but it could’ve been so much better. It showed so much promise, but the development of so many of the characters was just enfuriating honestly. Gonna watch the UK original soon I think.

The Bear so far has been really great, I can see it going many ways though. I haven’t watched the new season past the Christmas episode, mainly because it really felt a little too much like Christmas at home and it’s taking me a while to breathe after that. I’m just hoping it doesn’t go the same path Shameless went.
