It’s worse when they add a cheeky lil “+” to the end, what do they mean like that? Am I the plus? Are you? Is that guy over there the plus? What do you mean, get that they’re trying to be nominatively inclusive to non-binary people (probably a very specific kind though) but like it just feels worse.

I’d say the OA also did lost’s mystery box very well by having it be kind of allegorical, but yeah it’s mostly done pretty poorly since imho.

I liked it in lost… just don’t go expecting that here I guess.

I mean the character writing is a lot better here, but that is a low bar for severance lol, I do like weird conspiracy stuff too, just the weird conspiracy stuff in severance also sucked imho. This is very much not a lost mystery box though, like you know the why and how basically from the start.

Imagine if we taught people basic stuff about how the internet works, and every service and system we worked with had a CRUD interface, you wouldn’t even need to program, stuff like zapier or apple shortcuts would do enough.

It’s very, very, very strange level of defensiveness

I don’t think it’s like amazing good, but it’s novel good, and I just really like main actress.

Definitely better than alien earth and not trying to be weird and conspiracy-esque like severance.

For some reason I say Okay Lab Sea Haich

Tbh, it’s only become frustrating when attempting to stream from my living room pc to my laptop, but I think that’s always going to be a problem lol.

but that works best when other options exist and the others don’t really exist at all.

what irritates me a lot is that with the massive shortcomings included, DAV still has better inclusion than basically any AAA RPG… BG3 included. sigh

i don't like strict-hierarchy violence machine as the scrappy good guys. much of the time the protagonists aren't even making decisions!

i do like tall girl raised by birds shows up to a whole fucked-up planet and unfucks it on her own by plugging random alien junk she finds into her spacesuit

“Hey everyone! We made the ‘AI version of a dead loved one’ from the infamous Black Mirror episode ‘Don’t make AIs of dead loved ones….’ “

On top of everything, if someone makes an AI of me and I'm old and sweet and look like I'm about to knit a scarf instead of young, surly and semi-hot, I will haunt them so much that after they die, I'll haunt their AIs until they go insane and self-descruct

anyway. we are living through a broad failure of network literacy. we need Sesame Street for the social internet and also still for reading and counting
