I'm all for suing, but this is the worst kind of video. Vertical, with minimal information and no sources. There is no reason this should be a video 👎

Threads (1984) by Mick Jackson

Not sure who recommended it to me, but IMDB says its about "[t]he effects of a nuclear holocaust on the working class city of Sheffield, England and the eventual long-term effects of nuclear war on civilization." Didn't have a lot of motivation to seek it out, but it has great ratings. Top review says "Very few films have the ability to suck the life out of a viewer and leave them feeling drained and shaken in quite the same way that this does." Yeah, so I'm not sure if I will ever be in the mood for that to be honest.

Dark patterns are basically best practices at this point

Edit: I'm not actually opposed to watching movies with directors cuts. Just realized I love watching ridiculously long video essays about movies, but almost never watch directors commentaries. Not sure why, probably availability.

Also I heightened the phrasing for comedic purposes ;)

I'm trying to build a fun, casual Reanimator deck using Kess, Dissident Mage, but I'm having a little trouble: Moxfield Decklist

Basically the deck is pretty inconsistent and susceptible and also not very interactive. Meaning I might be lucky and reanimate a big threat turn 3-4, but it's a single threat that can be easily dealt with. And because it is a big threat, it usually is the immediate focus. While others build their board, I filter cards until I can reanimate another big threat, leaving my board pretty empty. This could be compensated with interactions, but because the deck needs enough big threats, filter/loot cards and reanimate spells, there is little space.

I run a couple of tutors to help with the consistency, but they are kind of inappropriate for the power level of the deck. So sometimes I replace them with less good draws/threats/reanimates.

I feel like my only course is to play even more impactful threats, which are expensive to get, but also increase the power level inconsistency, while making me the target, because there could be something very bad incoming at any time.

So, is there a way to keep this a casual deck, but also make it more consistent and interactive? Maybe focusing a little more on spellslinging?

Edit: In the end I came to turns with the fact that a reanimator strategy alone does not work in a 4-player game (except maybe with much stronger targets). So I build the deck a little more into the spellslinger direction, cut the Demonic Tutor and accepted that it will be a power level 6 like my other decks.

The first time I saw a bag like that, I was shocked as well. Seems like just the worst idea to use plastic to create tea bags. Turns out it is and they weren't made out of plastic. It's a starch based fiber that is biodegradable. I don't think you could have plastic tea bags here in the EU in any case. I'd wager yours isn't plastic either. Yeah, so you probably got mildly infuriated over nothing, just like I did the first time I saw one of these 🤷

The revolutionary part is -get this- to use the empty houses -you following?- to house the people who don't have houses! Genius! We truly are living in the future!

If your games are on steam, you're already not owning them. The only difference seems to be that steam doesn't demand a monthly subscription cost, yet

We already have game pass so it's not like this is something completely new either.

If this makes money, other big publishers will join and in 10 years it's the norm.

Personally, I'll try my best to keep buying on GOG and itch.io where I get to actually own my games.

I think it is important to add that even though no system is perfect and every system has it's pros and cons, that doesn't make them equal. As soon as we define goals, for example equal rights, some systems will be better equipped at achieving those while others might be actively hostile to them.

Absolutely, here is the part for the lazy:

I should add that, for all her cheerleading of gen Z, Foster isn’t above being irritated by them. “They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace. They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10.30am.’ Or, like, in emails, I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’”

"An archaeology professor discovers an ancient crypt which contains living dead corpses. The zombies go on a rampage and attack a group of people which the professor had invited to celebrate his discovery."

IMDB

This is my favorite b movie of all time. Got it on VHS from an older friend for 5€ when I was in "high school". Its German title is "Rückkehr der Zombies", which means "Return of the Zombies". Here is what the cover looked like, roughly. It's an incredible mix of bad acting, nonsensical setups, confused pacing and surprisingly good makeup and gore. The best part is the kid, who is supposed to be a teenager at most, but is clearly played by a small adult (see here).

If you are a fan of b movies, especially Horror and splatter, this is a must see!

(Also: I love this community!)

Just to be clear: I saw this meme over at Lemmy Shitpost and had to repost it here...

Wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, dann ist die Polizei eigentlich verpflichtet so wenig Gewalt wie möglich anzuwenden, um ihr Ziel zu erreichen. Das sehe ich hier nicht.

Frage mich, wie man zu zweit nicht in der Lage sein kann eine Person, die sich nicht wehrt, schmerzfrei von der Straße zu tragen? Da kann man nur froh sein, dass die keine Sanitäter geworden sind...

"The Logical Song" is a song by English rock group Supertramp that was released as the lead single from their album Breakfast in America in March 1979. It was written primarily by the band's Roger Hodgson, who based the lyrics on his experiences being sent away to boarding school for ten years. Wikipedia

I don't know what it is about this song, but it always grabs me and transports me to a fantasy realm. It was a welcome surprise to see it used in the end credits of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Not necessarily, it is likely that a tourist is just not used to these specific pathogens. While the people living there are used to them. So their immune system isn't better per se just more adapted to the environment.
