EA going belly up & being bought out by Saudis & Jared Kushner seems ironically appropriate given their long-standing shit behavior as an employer & publisher.

the title Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is meant to be ironic, like a Zen koan. Phil Dick didn't care about exploring machine consciousness, rather he was deeply worried that it was becoming harder to determine who & what was authentic in a reality that was increasingly simulated & fake.

trying to watch the '07 The Invasion, but they used clips of the Columbia disaster in the shuttle breakup intro. I despise when films disrespect the dead like this. it's insensitive & lazy. you've got millions for CGI in the budget, just make a low rez effect! 😠 film: left/actual: right

in fact- yeah.. let's fire this up. I'm in the mood for some og #xbox #rpg vibes. #gaming #kotor2

watching, and yes- agreed. maybe the best Star Wars story ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIlu...

Post a game that came out the same year you were born 🎮 #GameSky heh

playing PHANTOM DOCTRINE. assaulting a Beholder cell, got my teammates on overwatch in every direction except the one the grenade is being tossed from. I am restarting maps a lot in this game, lol. 😅 #tactics #gaming

morning ☕ view from the mtn cam:

so a less controversial take? would be that Andor SE1 was the first Star Wars content I've enjoyed since KOTOR2 (ffs- remake THOSE games).

playing PHANTOM DOCTRINE. a tactical stealth-based game that's not annoying, lol. cool 80s spy movie vibes w/a deep research & upgrade system. why am I only playing this now? 😅 #gaming #spies #tactics

wasp landed in my coffee. 😕

rain in the valley today. I like a rainy Saturday.

yes.

"The idea that there exists a natural order where the strong are naturally meant to dominate the weak is just a convenient excuse for men's antisocial behavior." Preach. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpvp...

a 'frankenfilm' is where new scenes are added to an older film that change the context of the original. this became a notorious subgenre during the ninja craze of the 80s. one of the first examples of this I could find was Psycho A-Go-Go ('65), a film that was rereleased twice over the next 6 yrs...

watched SLASH/BACK (2022) - cute sci-fi/horror romp about a a trio of Inuit girls defending their village against a creepy tentacle monster. some hinky digital fx, but otherwise kind of charming. 👍 #filmsky #scifi #slash/back

when you think all the buzz about "border security" seems strangely exaggerated? yeah- this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8zi...

morning ☕ current view from the mtn cam:

devs still adding content to #yetanotherzombiesurvivors, nice! 👍I like this new train level, and the roided up chainsaw zombie doing a spinning clothesline, lol 😅 #gaming #survivorslike www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pck...

preview of new single from #Collide. always liked them, they remind me of that pre-millenium industrial/electro sound. like what #kidneythieves was doing. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhJS...

US electric reserve capacity: 15% China electric reserve cap: 100% starting to make sense why US AI companies have been in such a hurry to expand- there's no AI long game we can win. www.youtube.com/watch?v=37aU...

@ 18:04 - preach. Harris expressing disappointment at corporations for failing to be guard rails for democracy is a stunningly naive (and revealing) take. 🙄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI51...

time to get back into #mutantyearzero. such a good game. enemy AI is mean and the RNG can make you want to pull yr hair out, but it's a vibe & no encounter plays the same way twice. #gaming #tactics #postapocalypse www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7fo...

#filmsky, I miss doing film related content & still have skills to offer indie content creators. my jam is themes & symbolism, tho I love production design lore (& trainwreck stories) too. below is an example of me when I'm 'on'. if you like it, hit me up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=koqc...

trying to watch UNDERWATER (2020) but really having a hard time w/their diving gear. little plexiglass helmets when you're a mile+ down? lol I don't think so.

imagine if all the endtimes xtians actually DID vanish today. all the rest of us would be like:

the badger's apprentice is really killing it w/the funny & insightful film commentary. keep an eye on this channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb0n...

i don't either.

aw that's a smile www.tomshardware.com/video-games/...

don't be surprised Disney dropped a #StarWars trailer to get people to resubscribe, be surprised that the drop isn't actually for humans, it's for BOTS; to repost, amplify, get into arguments w/humans about & clutter up a lot of feeds w/crap so it seems like some kind of important wedge issue.

my morning 'run' #gaming #betweenthestars www.youtube.com/watch?v=sggF...

uninstalled the nvidia app & notice games are running smoother. yet another always on/information gathering tool. 🙄

noticed this guy climbing up the porch railing. a reminder of happier times w/my ex.

morning ☕

a totally unnecessary supercut of some of my favorite collisions from my 'date from Hell' runs. #gaming #gta4 #silly #carcrashes 😋 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfba...

what's a word you always spellcheck no matter how many times you've gotten it right? for me it's: unnecessary

oh my www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GKx...

the Nova Chorus comes in for docking at an allied station. #betweenthestars #gaming

a short, deep thought for this morning: medium.com/@rwscott2501...

The soul is lovesick though the world is sorry #musicsky #komeda www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wbr...

we gotta make a better day #musicsky #komeda www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu_u...

my grandpa supplied coal to ANTIFA groups in the 1940s. the groups were the United States Army, Navy & Air Force.

spot-on, yes, deserved.

before I retired from #foodservice I did the morning shift at a cafe for a decade. I loved setting up by myself before sunrise & I'd always stop, listen & enjoy my coffee when this track came on my mp3 player... those violins still kill me. 😭 #musicsky #thomasnewman www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbFo...

I could listen to Robert Vaughn read the phone book. #filmsky #battlebeyondthestars #robertvaughn www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zP_...

playing GALAXY TRADER, chill little #casual #indiegame I picked up on Itch. trade & explore to a relaxing ambient score. bonus: the programmer's name is Hunter Forsyth... I'm probably related to him! 😄

rewatching THE DARK KNIGHT & thinking 'ok- the mask looks goofy'.

w/fewer days ahead than behind, one thing I know for sure is that only love can fix a broken person. #musicsky #ambient #love #forgiveness soundcloud.com/robert-scott...
