Alex29 июл., 23:27hell yeah fond childhood memories of booting the new Aptiva at school into OS/2 Warp solely because it had SCII
Alex29 июл., 17:30there's a straight line between Mark Mothersbaugh, John Carpenter, Depeche Mode, the 90s French House scene, Alexander Brandon (Deus Ex), Jack Wall & Sam Hulick (Mass Effect 1 & 2), and Kavinsky. everything that's come after is directly influenced by them
Alex29 июл., 17:27without Kavinsky, we probably wouldn't have synthwave as we have it today. CHVRCHES, Desire, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, Dance with the Dead, The Midnight, the Stranger Things soundtrack, and so on
Alex29 июл., 04:46also, a lead monetization asshole at Google became more influential than a lead engineer who believes search is a public utility that the company has an obligation to keep in good working order
Alex29 июл., 04:15I believe it one cold night I wrapped a scarf around my cat's neck and she purred the entire time. so warm and cozy
Alex27 июл., 21:36It's a campfire story told vividly and earnestly. Not without skill, but maybe the storyteller's had a few beers
Alex27 июл., 21:32IMO it's like the saying about a great man vs a good man. For me, The Odyssey is a great movie but not necessarily a good one. Several emotional beats hit me hard and the performances are broadly excellent, but I'd love it if Nolan stopped dumbing down dialogue. Feels condescending & self-limiting
Alex27 июл., 18:35completely unrelated: have you checked out Black Bag or Legends (2026)? can lend ya either/both Black Bag - Soderberg directs a spy story Legends - 1980s British undercover miniseries. felt a bit like Task tbh. film grain, warm lighting, amazing costume & set design
Alex27 июл., 18:19Stella this is the book I mentioned at your bday last year! I've finished it since then. The ending is... different than I expected. To say more specifics would be too spoilery. I will say I think it qualifies as your shit
