Just rewatched Mandy for the first time in a few years and holy shit, it's still probably one of my favourite films from the last decade or so!

Ah, bummer! All good though, the song IS great and might help manifest something. Like a little musical wish sent out to the universe.

Is this how I'm finding out that IT finally happened?!

I'm really enjoying Alien: Earth so far but I seriously can't figure out why they decided to close out the 2nd episode with Stinkfist by TOOL. Just an utterly bizarre needle drop.

His PBS song is wonderful as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_rU...

Jesse Welles is making some of the most wonderfully vicious protest music I've heard in ages. Y'all should check him out!

first 5 Steam purchases

Can't say any of these are surprising to me. Though it's kind of frightening to see some of these purchase dates are almost 20 years ago 💀

The Orange Box, Gish, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and World of Goo

lol it sure is! I guess it’s about Ai automating everything in a society as well which is why dude’s so obsessed with GenAi. Pretty sure he genuinely thinks his game somehow predicted it and it’ll land him a place among other prescient scifi authors like William Gibson, etc whenever it comes out.

Rob Simpson @thebobert.bsky.social · Jul 22

Because of shit like this and him saying he was chatting with Ai to research political ideologies, part of me desperately needs his game to come out so I can see how batshit stupid the story will be.
