I'd wait to see if fans are still trying to port Starfield to new engines in 20 years before I start talking about my company's "best" work.
Captain, I'm reading a class 5 pun off the port nacelles! If we don't stabilize the vote ratio, we could find ourselves trapped in a meme template temporal loop.
Odo ruins another fine Bajoran traditional festival by imprisoning all the children dressed as Pah Wraith for Prophetsween. In the b-plot, Sisko recreates field of dreams in the holodeck and has an emotional moment with the hologhost of Jackie Robinson, played by Tony Todd for maximum tears.
I don't know who really got that trend going. I've enjoyed up to hour-ish long videos on more or less anything, but a few years back the first truly excessively long video I remember is Whitelight's 7 hour long overview/miniseries on Death Stranding. And to be fair, I did find that faster and more enjoyable than playing Death Stranding.
(Also I get why folks make them: more ads plus having that much watch time heavily biases the algorithm towards you so it's more money overall. And the kind of person that watches 7 hour long reviews in the background (or while sleeping), aka me, certainly help weigh the scales for super long videos.)
But also, I kind of like when shorts are like a minute long or less so I can watch one when I'm like, on the shitter and not accidentally end up with a video essay. I mean 10 minutes used to be the limit of every youtube video! Will they introduce a new, even shorter format? Bring vines or blips back?
Alright, I split the differance, I think that should make everyone happy.
Can't wait for 10 hour long reviews of Elden Ring, BUT VERTICALE AND LOOPS NOW!?!
Not enough Branston pickle, which to make up the ratio would require about half the jar I think. But then you'd have a perfect ploughmans lunch! (I'm not even a Brit, i just like a good peasant meal!)
Huh, never saw this one but in high school I had a dream just like this. I met a beautiful woman, perfect in every way, we got married had some kids, I even got some ways into middle age. Then, I was sitting in chair and noticed that my vision seemed... blurry at the edges, in a very "vignette filter" kind of way and I immediately knew I was dreaming. Woke up just as the existential collapse started. For several years after I'd try to remember her face, what our love had felt like, any of the details that had seemed so solid and tantalizing real for those few sleeping hours.
In retrospect, a lot like that Rick and Morty episode with the life simulator game. I wonder if one of the writers ever had that dream too? Brains are weird, and I haven't any dreams nearly that all encompassing since.
The article reads like a fever dream, I can't believe Kotoku published this guy's notes about a podcast he heard. They say the car set wqs "hermetically sealed" because it had to go upside down, and that the set was evacuated for 3 hours after. But also that Will Smith just farts a lot, as everyone knows. Insane stuff.
I truly do not understand my fellow countryfolks' minds. Why toilet paper, again?
A quick search can tell you what goods might be affected, and paper products don't even make the list! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/transportation/2024/10/01/strike-at-the-port-of-ny-and-nj-what-imports-are-affected/75468183007/
Imports into the Port of NY and NJ
- Furniture
- Appliances, machinery and parts
- Plastics
- Beverages, spirits and vinegar
- Electric machinery and parts
- Apparel and accessories, knit
- Rubber
- Vehicles and parts
- Iron and steel
- Toys, games, sports equipment
So as you'd expect: cars, furniture, electronics, fast fashion, some raw materials
In other words, very little that is essential or that you'll miss in the next few months, but a lot of luxury things that cheap importers make a lot of money on.
Honestly, we'd be better off as a country if we permanently stopped importing a lot of this shit and went back to making it outselves.
