@openculture just as I start the morning with a relaxing spotify playlist as an alarm.

Nothing is new under the sun, as they say.

@medievalists playing too much Crusader Kings makes me wonder how many of his council would be reasonably competent and how many that would be there because they were "important" 😉

Well I know the cha cha cha fans are salty af but damn it feels good when your country wins Eurovision. And, even better, the song you actually want to win wins.

@charble oh so we won?

WhyNotZoidberg,
@WhyNotZoidberg@topspicy.social avatar

@charble agree to disagree, there are plenty of shows with judges. Personally I want Eurovision to be about what people like, not what is deemed "good" or "interesting".

Besides "brining literally anything to Eurovusion" is a recent development anyway, for most of it's existence it was all about traditional popular music on the safe side of art.

One thing never changes: presenters have always been and will always be more annoying and cringeworthy than even the worst entries

Okay is top 5 material. If they just didn't have those annoying "quiet down" bits everyone loves these days they would be my #1

Watched the first three entries, fell asleep (headache, not trying to be edgy), woke up in time to watch our (Sweden) entry and then had to take the dogs out. Came back in time for Australia.

Must say the pendelum is once again swinging towards "weird".

For awhile it was almost entirely just European dance entries.

I ordered when it was released and played the tutorial and then put it down for some reason. Caught up today playing everyone's favorite beginner character Robert The Fox on Sardinia.

Hot Take: We are past the point where dystopian stories of terrible futures are a sufficient warning to prevent those things.

We need clear cut, productive ideas and positive imagination.

Everything else is imagination freezing misery porn.

WhyNotZoidberg,
@WhyNotZoidberg@topspicy.social avatar

@forschungstorte Given that ALL popular TV series and is misery porn since 5 years ago... It seems it's the only creative thing anyone want to write, and the only thing people want to see is misery and / or torture porn presented as entertainment on Netflix or whatever.

@forschungstorte Oh you're absolutely right. If someone could write a good solar punk story...

For real this part from where these two people revealed how AI helped them build the least-fun, derivative, creativity-bereft, soulless video game ever devised was something straight out of Mythic Quest.

@rodhilton I didn't see any of it but looking at that looks like the camp leaders from Addams Family II was trying to record a kid's show.

If you ever said you'd have done something in the 1930s/1940s about concentration camps, you're going to get a chance to prove it soon.

@thejessiekirk I assume "Hashtag about it" is what a lot of people actually mean when they say "Would have done something about it".

The fans in my AIO are pretty inefficient and worse, have a ridiculously high minimum RPM. Also I have an idea for cabling which I'm not totally sure is possible. Wish me luck?

I'm in the minority but I enjoyed Batman: Arkham Asylum a lot more than Arkham City.

There was something so nice about how streamlined and linear Asylum was, moving from small contained mission to small mission without an overwhelming open world to contend with. Arkham City changed that, and everyone likes it but me it seems.

Fallen Order to Jedi Survivor is the EXACT same thing. People are applauding how much more open it is and that's what I hate most.

WhyNotZoidberg,
@WhyNotZoidberg@topspicy.social avatar

@rodhilton never played that game but yeah.

I still love my 150 hour games, but give me a puzzle or convoluted treasure hunt in a dungeon and I'll be googling that quicker than uou can say "online guide"
