Think a new pinned post is long overdue!
I'm a self-taught Swedish artist with a backround in academic game development. I currently work part time as an art instructor with senior citizens while developing a tabletop roleplaying game.

James Van Der Beek checked out? No fun ><
Never been a drama show fan myself, but know his work was important to a lot of people I knew growing up. Was either Dawson's Creek or White Lies (a local Swedish show) that everybody followed - as an outsider, would say the Creek was the better.
Godspeed.

The idea of making a hopeful Threads remake is itself a low water mark of hope for media literacy.
This is a movie where the *only* good thing that happens to anybody is this one guy barely avoids the indignity of dying on the toilet. That's as hopeful as nuclear war gets.

Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”
“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

In introduction to what to expect of space missile combat in Mere Animals would be that the Swedish word for air-to-air missile is "jaktrobot" - "hunting robot".
It's a blunt, threatening, ugly word, that for Cold War Swedes brings up connotations of malicious, dangerous machinery. Robotic weapons.

Missiles are a staple of the space warrior's arsenal as of 5300 CE, and the weapon most feared by spacers plying their legal trade on the star lanes. When caught and seen against the clean darkness of space, there is no pilot that can outfly a missile with fuel left in the pan.

Counting senior high specs, spent a total of 14 years of my life preparing to work in tech; worked in tech for 14 weeks, 13 of which were realising this wasn't for me.
Hardest decision I ever made, also healthiest. Looked back once; regretted it immediately.
Tech just isn't healthy for everyone.
