There's a lot of cool stuff I notice when watching a lot of movies multiple times.

Especially when I have different lenses and things to look out for. I like seeing all the artistry :3

I’m just imagining you assimilating species unto yourself until the only version of Tinc that remains is a hot, malleable shapeshifter

Wonder how those holes get worn.

The main games of Pokémon live on because the core ideas are that good. It has nothing to do with the actual games themselves. It sucks cause I would love to play new Pokémon games. I WANT to give Nintendo and game freak my money. But I cant cause they clearly dont care about their game

As someone who loves what Pokemon could be, what we all imagine Pokemon to be, and what we all grew up expecting Pokemon to be:

This thread hits the nail on the head.

Pokemon frustrates me because it’s a thing we love, with NO soul, because capitalism works best when we play anyway.

Pokemon ZA discourse sounds so much like transit talks

Pep A: "Hey, we love our city which is why it deserves funding to be more walkability & better for residents"

Pep B: "OK but, you can just drive anywhere. I've always had a car and been fine. Now cars have AC so why are you complaining?"

I’m not informed as to government in Ancient Greece, but anytime you get into philosophy of government, reality and theory are WILDLY divorced.

I can definitely see a life where one thinks government is benevolent, but I think that requires some serious cultural reform that makes it, first

Opda @opda.bsky.social · 21h

To be fair, Aristotle is a particularly odd philosopher to reconcile with the modern times.

His idea of what happiness is is WILD compared to many others, even from his own time, and I wouldn’t be surprised if his writings on friendships are relatedly intense

I love among us but it’s been a minute since I’ve played.
Maybe I should set up a game…

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

Sadly, digital communication doesn’t favor a community of people, but rather one-to-one communication.

It doesn’t give you a sense of “the room” when you’re “logged into” a chat. There isn’t any way to feel that a person-sized hole is there, as digital space has no shape to it.
