More crime

Sorry, that bogie came out of nowhere

Back in my day this was 99c

I found this out the hard way with my coworker

Come on bro you’ve heard of 420. Just Google it bro it’s a big day for those who know

Hitlers birthday?

Ah… No the other thing

Columbine high school massacre?

Noooo

BP oil disaster?

Ya know what never mind

The story is great regardless, but there is a definate shift between the hyper realism I fell in love with in the early books, vs the protomolecule Sci fi of the later books - it was all necessary to close the story and the funky Miller chapters were some of the best, but there was defo the sense of getting to the ending for the ending’s sake

If there was ever another shot at completing the series I’d be first in line, but in its current state I can’t recommend watching beyond season 5

The side characters really did shine in the early tv seasons though - cara gee as a meld of drummer/pa was fantastic, the belter creole was iconic. Wes as Amos was perfect, Cas as Alex was (initially) great, Dominique as naiomi switching between belter creole/common was awesome - it was a shame the series suffered cause Cas was a pig, but I can’t blame Amazon for covering their ass

They’re worth sticking with just to see the end of everyone’s arc - memories legion is also great at filling some gaps all over the series

The show unfortunately drops off a cliff before laconia gets started - doesn’t end in a bad spot, pre time skip, but the shite with Cas Anvar means they’d have to remake the whole last season to resurrect it

Dunno what to tell ya, the xweets are real but yeah no real evidence either way

Im sure time will tell, if there’s a case to be made we know Nintendo won’t shirk at taking it forward

The guy admitted to scaling the models to fit, because had a bee in his bonnet about how palworld “glorifies animal abuse”

There’s an interesting conversation to have about where exactly the line between plagarisim and inspiration is, but it’s unlikely palworld devs used stolen assets

I’m at a loss with this one

Fun puffin fact: Puffins have conservative family values and mate for life, raising a single chick (adorably called a puffling) in the same burrow each year

Seeing puffin on restaurant menus in Iceland after learning this was a bit concerning

So hyped

It had no business being as good as it was

Thunder breathing, first form

I’d have lost 90% of my hype if it wasn’t announced

Cya in lumby

The worst, so far ;)

Wow thanks had no idea this was an option on my Samsung. . it was just hiding disabled in my settings as “lockdown mode”

I pay for 5g in London with EE with an LTE phone

I’ve turned it off - it’s too unreliable even 3 years later… Feels like 1 bar of 5g spends an age trying to get a connection, then slowly reverts to 3 bars of 4g, which is ultimately just worse than just using 4g

Could just be my oldish phone, or the concrete jungle, but feels like shite to me

jumping off point

Woah there, corporate informs me this is insensitive to Lemmings

Lemmy HR will be in touch

Futurama taught me this
