Zombie. Fan of all the Star Wars, The Expanse, For All Mankind, Star Trek and Sci Fi in general. Total AFOL. Also known to read a book, occasionally. Mostly thinking about Andor...

Specifically Peacemaker. But I could also mention Alien Earth or the Ahsoka TV show. There's a few others over the last year but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Nightmare on Elm Street but Freddie Kruger just wants to get a decent night's sleep...

The Shining but Jack Torrance channels his big feelings into writing a bestseller

Scream but Ghostface keeps forgetting to turn the voice changer on so, suddenly, they have to make awkward small talk instead of killing their friends.

So, it's another case of wait 2 years for a new season and then have it end on a cliffhanger with no official news of renewal. The streaming model really does abuse the concept of a cliffhanger...
Gotta keep you subscribed...

Web based platforms are superior to apps, in nearly every way. I honestly think we've fucked it; we've overshot the "best" version of the internet and landed in this web 3.0, internet-of-shit wasteland.

The staff at the Lego shop had no firm restock date. "In the next couple of weeks' was the best they'd say...

And it's a great deal if you're a scalper...
I just want give Lego money for a product they sell. How have they fucked this up?

Yeah. The reseller market shouldn't be better stocked than the multinational company who make the damn thing in the first place...

ZombieSteven @zombiekudos.bsky.social · 2d

Nope. I just want to get me some Christmas Lego, preferably you know, before Christmas...

ZombieSteven @zombiekudos.bsky.social · 2d

Lego really have fucked the release of their Christmas themed Gingerbread AT-AT. Physical shop out of stock. Online shop out of stock/backorder with a prospective delivery of Jan 2nd. Meanwhile, I can find upwards of 30 on Ebay with scalpers selling them for £20-£30 above retail. Fucks sake #Lego!

How many Jared Leto films imploding in critical and commercial failure will it take for producers to finally realise that casting Jared Leto is a terrible idea because he's Jared Leto.

…and that’s one of the *better* reviews.

I once again beg all y'all not to screencrap nonsense from the former Twitter and bring it here to dunk on it, that's like inviting a vampire in to tell them their fangs look stupid, maybe you're right but they're still going to fucking eat you

(also "screencrap" was a legit typo but I left it in)

"We all like what we like and don't what we don't."

How many times have I had to explain on Twitter what I understood when I was 7 years old? 😅

In fact, I have far fewer problems about it here, which makes me think that the people who made the move are a bit least egocentric.

I enjoyed it. Season 1 was good. Season 2 was better. Sad they cancelled it.

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject

Geoff Balls @geoffballs.bsky.social · 9d

This marketing term is causing untold harm, of course, mostly to the naive and gullible. But it’s surprising how many educated and apparently intelligent people are placing an unwarranted degree of trust in these programmes.

Heh. The ups and downs reference was totally unintentional there...

Every road has ups and downs. Hope yours gets easier.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.
