In terms of public posts, there seems to just be Mother Jones’ repost of part of the video which is embedded in the article.

I hope the full thing gets out, I’d love to see more of it.

It’s worth it! That show did so many clever things. And they’re all short and so wildly different from one another that if one isn’t doing it for you, you can always skip to the next one.

Perhaps I may have to put it back on my stack and give it another honest try.

Thanks for the motivation!

My first instinct was to quietly downvote this because you didn’t read the question, but I’m not having a downvote on a mention of how evil Jimmy Savile was on my permanent record.

Somewhat true, but fictionalized.

This would be a different story if Musk and Trump were still enthusiastically smooching each other’s bottoms.

For some of us outside his fandom, that was the most interesting thing he ever did.

If that cast and production crew had made an original show about a dark funky future and bounty hunters and whatever, clearly inspired by Bebop but not trying to be it, they could have knocked it out of the park so hard.

They would, of course, have had to get some decent writers instead of just feeding the original anime scripts to crack-smoking monkeys and then smearing their poops onto script paper.

Phantom Menace was great for lore expansion of Star Wars, but it was weird to see it get more infantile than the previous trilogy, seeing as original fans were actually getting older.

I find this a fascinating thing to think about.

I’m the same age as the original Star Wars film and grew up on the Original Trilogy. Those three were some of the best stuff ever to my kiddie brain. The older I get, the more I feel like the OT was pretty much just as childish as the prequels when it comes down to it, just without access to 1990s cartoony CGI. I’m not saying this as a bad thing, I still enjoy the OT, but it’s clear to me now as an old fart that the prequels felt more kiddie than the OT when I watched them in the theaters because I was watching the prequels for the first time with a grownup’s brain.

I still enjoy the OT, they poke those childhood brain cells that have been hooked on them all this time. I can enjoy the prequels a bit, but it’s mostly in the form of memes and cracked-out fan remixes. The sequel movies, though, always struck me as a goddamned mess and I still haven’t figured out who they were meant to be for.

I’m a lifelong Stephen King fan and have read just about everything else he ever released, but I could never motivate myself to get started on the Dark Tower stuff. There’s just SO MUCH and I kind of dread committing to it.

(And yet somehow I reread a bunch of his stuff including the extended The Stand every couple years. I claim no rationality about it.)

This appears to have originally been published as a totally different non-malware game. Either the original dev got their account taken over or turned heel, because the entire game was replaced with the malware game as an update to an existing game rather than a new published game.

I’m only speculating as I don’t know much about the Steam publishing process, but I wonder if that helped the malware sneak past more rigorous checks which would happen on a totally-new upload.

Folks interested in casual conversation rather than the mostly topic-focused discussions of something like Lemmy might like to try IRC.

This is as interesting as learning that in 1885, Dr. Scammington’s Patented Snake Oil Remedy was more popular than its closest competitor Professor Placebo’s Distilled Tincture of Snake.

It’s still hilarious to me that Plex, a project forked from the XBMC (now Kodi) free open-source app for organizing and playing one’s own entirely legally obtained video files, is a big streaming business thing that charges people money.

It’s like finding a tree in the forest that gives out infinite free apples, and then setting up an apple-selling table right next to it stocked with apples you obviously got from that tree.

It’s intentional. They muscle out all the other, better options.

Computers can’t get wet from the rain if they’re underwater in the ocean.
