Maybe Angela can?

you obviously needed another toke bro.

Also, Arrival is the most underrated sci-fi movie, ever!!

Holy shit... the movie is amazing, and I walked in with mildly high expectations given who the director is, (I've never read the books, but I will now!!) I'm so stoked there's going to be 2 more! Denis Villenueve quickly becoming one of the best modern film makers - Incendies - Prisoners - Enemy - Sicario - Arrival - Blade Runner 2049 - Dune

Yeap. Facebook started out as a website to rate hot chicks on a university campus, just the kids there actually used it as a social platform. Twitter was used to post what you were eating for dinner, just people started posting controversial 160 character long phrases instead. Then somewhere along the road... those dudes become billionaires, gain more power than countries do (and they do make sure they exert it, I mean... they banned a president lol) and we're suppose to raise them to these pedestals of entrepreneurship and amazement. Meanwhile, they still refuse to take a decision on whether or not they're a platform, or a publisher. But every day they decide what's wrong or what's right for the rest of us plebs, all while taking advantage and exploiting our dopamine receptors. A few years ago, I was tripping balls and the realization that I was addicted to Facebook popped into my mind. If I was at the computer and I had 3 seconds to burn, like exporting a bake or whatever, I'd alt+tab right back into my feed. I then installed an extension that blocked "Facebook.com" and a couple other websites i wanted to annihilate from my life. If you try to access one of these blocked websites, this plugin would tell you how many times it was tried that day, and total count. For about 3 weeks, I tried to access Facebook 72 times, I still have that number tattooed into my memory. 72 fucking times and I KNEW it was blocked, and still tried to open it. It was one of the best things I could have done, because it opened my mind to other negative habits and addictions I have. My mom used to be an avid reader of books, she'd used to tell me how much she loved them. Now she only doomscrolls Facebook all day, and joins these weird groups where people hate on X or Y, she hasn't read a book in a long time now. One thing I'm nearly certain of in life, is that our society would be better of without these fucking websites. They're all but "social". Remenber kids, if it's free... you're the product! We're more hooked to these fucking things than we care to admit, and now it's going "meta"? Lmao... get the fuck outta here man. Meh... part of me wishes we all went back to forums and mirc.

Very much doubt anything fb does will be open. First thing they did when they bought Oculus was to close it's ecosystem.

Great time to read Ready Player One, if you haven't yet.

In the next few years, both the metaverse and defi will become huge. I've been reading a lot about it these in the past couple months, so the fact that Facebook goes ahead and announces this felt pretty surreal. Can't think of a more power hungry and cocky enough company than Facebook to even attempt such a thing, to the point of have it on their name. Since Google is already doing this albeit in a more sneaky way, by the way they're developing their ecosystem. Kudos to Facebook for not even trying to hide it, I guess. https://www.matthewball.vc/the-metaverse-primer I'm very interested in the defi side of metaverse. Whether we want it or not, money rules our lives so to have that aspect on a decentralized chain sounds better than a dictatorial centralized power entity.

That's a great idea, we signed up for HBO to check out Dune and they have all 3 movies there. Might watch them again.

One day this thread will be 10 years old... you'll feel REALLY old then

Watching it tonight, if the kid doesn't take hours to fall asleep. Wish I could watch it in the cinemas, but streaming will have to do for now.

Fairly sizeable patch! I haven't been having many problems with the game, aside from FPS dips during combat, I think it fixed it for me. https://www.pcgamer.com/deathloop-update-patch-notes/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=twitter.com

They should just remake f1/f2, but as third person. I'd be ok with turn based combat too. Have it be as hardcore as it was. For sure there's a market for that.

Only a couple hours in, and I already know me and this game will be best friends! Really enjoying it so far. I absolutely love Colt's personality, and the use of "regular" language and profanity in the game's tips, lol. I can feel a lot of people had fun making this game, it oozes personality.

Can't wait to try this out... Will probably pick it up when I'm done with Deathloop. Been playing the latest Wario game with my wife and my kid. If you like silly coop games on the Switch, deffo check it out too. Kinda pricy but you know... Nintendo.

Damn... this actually looks pretty dope! I used to love brawlers when I was a kid, but this genre sort of died out. Double Dragon and Streets of Rage was the shit, yo! Genre never really lend itself to 3D very well, until Yakuza came out. Will deffo be keeping an eye out for this, looks fun af!

That was great! I really want to replay B1 one day, one of the best games ever.

Leon hitting on Hunnigan was some of the best parts of the dialogue. The whole game's dialogue is a cringe fest... that's the point. lol

That was awesome, I finally picked this up, will take it for a spin this weekend!

That's a shame, I actually remenber finding the locomotion system to be really clunky, it goes beyond just animations.

No joke... the most creative thing I've watched in years. Don't want to overhype it, but skip trailers and just go watch it.

a HD fan project actually done right... what is this!
