Flute. It'd be nice to skip a bus/train trip and just let a bird take me where I need to go, even if I have to cycle through a few different locations.

Nintendo should start doing weird shit like this again to stand out. Give everyone a reason to buy the game on your system. You put Link in an Elden Ring, and a lot more people are going to buy it on a Switch 2.

The best thing EA ever did was partner with Nintendo on the GameCube port of SSX On Tour so that you can watch Luigi snowboard to Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold

It's pretty impressive to make a service everyone loves, then find a way to completely ruin it.

And yet, we've seen it happen dozens of times over the last decade.

Super cool to have a dozen streaming services, but none of them have the movie you want to watch.

They should have embraced the fact it kept changing and told everyone that Zack Morris regenerates every season.

Every time I see people advocating for 4 day work weeks, they mention 10 hours days. But thats not the 4 day work week should be about! Technology has gotten so much better, we shouldmt still need 40 hours! You can do 8 hour days 4 day so a week! Things will be fine! Hell you can probably do less!

The money helps her trivia team, but in the end, all the money goes to kids writing programs!

What else were you going to spend that money on? Food? Beverages!? Grow up!

Wolverine looks fine and all, but I'll be really impressed when they can pull off a West Coast Avengers game.

I respect the Black Phone for making an unnecessary sequel that blatantly rips off a Nightmare on Elm Street. It's a bold move.

I think so, the gibberish answers are usually what the TAS use.

Phones should have physical keyboards again. The tactile feedback is way more satisfying than a touch screen.

i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

Sometimes 5 minutes of self reflection is all it takes to make people realize they're the problem. The real issue is getting them to do the reflection.

The owner's goal was always to get the bar on a TV show of some kind too - he probably saw that as a stepping stone.

The bar feels pretty low, I feel like I'd do well if I had to start dating again.

You know I'm authentic, because I can't spell for shit!

imagine relying on AI to write your bio and then having the nerve to say you're witty and full of personality

Anderson felt her bio was authentically her even if it was written by a chatbot. “My bio is 100 percent in alignment with my true personality,” she told me. “I don’t have a filter. I’m very witty. I’m full of personality.” Nor did she think using ChatGPT reflected the “bare minimum energy” she loathed. “It took me an hour and change to drill down my bio to be that good,” she explained. “I had to edit it, edit it, edit it down. I have to keep talking to it.” On the other hand, she admits that ChatGPT has sapped her motivation to write a first draft of anything herself, even though she minored in writing in college and described herself as a “wordsmith.” “I’m gonna be honest with you: Once you use ChatGPT, you don’t want to think for yourself anymore,” she said.

Timeless. Plenty of good time travel movies, but not many TV shows. This one really stood out. At least a movie wrapped it up, which is more than most canceled shows get.

Kevin Smokler @weegee.bsky.social · 27d

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?
