Hmm, I don't think I'd want to buy coffee from this place

Pet peeve: all the guys you listed are producers, not DJs. DJs generally play other people's music, producers make their own. There are many producers who can DJ too as it's a good way to perform their music without having to drag an entire studio around with them, but it's usually a secondary skill of theirs. Likewise there are incredible DJs out there that don't make any of their own music.

Back to the question—Things go in peaks and waves, we get a load of electronic music coming through to the forefront in popularity then everyone eventually gets bored of it and it's replaced with a reaction from another kind of genre until people get bored of that. It kinda flip-flops like that every decade or so since the 70s.

I feel like there should be a prize for this

Perhaps involving a french antique with a place to rest one's head

I made it to the end, it definitely drops off, but it managed to hold my interest enough to get to the end

Nah the argument is that most of those people shouldn't have needed to make the journey by car if the town was built properly.

FWIW I've always intuitively held the same distinction. Streets are walkable and have stuff on them, cars optional but at low speeds if they are there. Roads are not walkable and link up areas for car use.

Well then Mr Bychawski, perhaps you and your journalist friends should stop fucking using it then

There are ethical problems with how many of the models have been created and some of what they're being used for

But I generally agree, it's pretty much the same thing we see with every technological innovation—something big changes and a load of things get disrupted, a group of people then get angry about said innovation, eventually those people dwindle and the innovation gets absorbed into the general public's idea of what modern life consists of.

I can't think of any big innovation over the past few decades that hasn't really followed a similar trajectory

That was super interesting, thanks for the response

Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now

I've just started Return to the Obra Dinn, so far really liking the art style and the main game mechanics. I'm interested to see how the story unfolds as it seems to be taking a "memento" style reverse chronological approach to telling it.

Also still playing Halls of Torment as ever since Vampire Survivors, one of these top down roguelite shoot-em-up games has been in my rotation.

Oh and I nearly forgot, also started pizza tower, but only dipped my toe into that one so far. Really enjoy the art and platforming mechanics so far.
