Minneapolis Area - Anti AI Luddites DNI, I don't care about your disinformation. Anti-technology is not a progressive stance. Standing in the way of progress is not progressive. Defending capitalism is not progressive.

I don't care how "Trendy" it is.
If everything is blocked and placed and sighted for a sight line with a 6-8FT gap and a huge screen, then clearly nothing is going to feel or look right on a shitty little hand device. This is just one of the things I'm going to be experimenting with.

but as it turns out 64 inches, 52 inches, 32 inches, 24 inches, 12 inches, and 8 inches aren't actually the same thing. And no i'm not talking about some dude's schlort. Once upon a time during the era of the nuclear family, the television was envisioned as a center piece.

We're at an era where the right 4 or 5 people can really come together and do something cool, and while certain groups would try to convince me otherwise, I'm going to stare right into that abyss. I don't really know how to give a hint as to what i'm on about, beyond people who study media,

new media. There's more to it then just "Make this and put it on youtube", that's where current studios are failing. This is because of complacency, as well as authoritarian blindness, and just the simple fact that humans are really good at not noticing shit.

In the same way nu star wars makes the prequels almost redeemable with the right amount of bag, I've actually been rewatching Voyager these last few weeks and even "Threshold" isn't nearly as bad as it used to be.

Good shit, I haven't really watched since the 4 horsewomen were a thing so it's been a while but I'll definitely step out.

How long has MN had a local indie? I'm a recent transplant so forgive my ignorance, and is it a decent crowd or a bunch of dudes who read dirtsheets and want to be right about everything? lol

Were you disappointed by the newer movie that just came out? With how good Cobra Kai was I was expecting so much more.

It looks like you already got your answer but you may also be interested in "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads, and "Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm" by the Crash Test Dummies.

I got about 1/4th of the way through "Solo" and something in my soul just broke. These days i just watch Clone Wars reruns to get my fix.

some of my really old stuff sounds like autotuned car trouble so I get that entirely

You'd spend half an hour trying to type it in, and then hit "go" and then when it didn't work end up swearing at the NES or something, and then get grounded instead of getting to play. It was kind of cruel

and that password system was the first sign in my life that nobody was ever going to be able to read my handwriting, including myself.

Spiritual Warfare was actually kinda dope once you got passed the usual wisdom tree garbo quizzes, somebody put a lot of work into ripping off zelda. The music/arrangements on that one still randomly get stuck in my head, and I'm not even remotely christian lol.

newer group culture from completely overwriting the one in place. There is no doubt in my mind there are a handful of sociologists and anthropologists, furiously mashing the refresh key like they're trying to get comic-con tickets, just watching.

start to intertwine. Coming from very old internet, I remember when large groups would join a well established forum, and how the different ways that would shake out. My understanding is this platform has a relatively smaller userbase, so I wonder if there is enough already scaffolded to keep the

I get that actually, to follow the analogy I feel like the stoner kid sitting on the couch in the back, watching all the stage hands zip by, starting to assemble things

I make music and digital expressive wind instruments are actually really expensive, this is useful to me and about $840 cheaper.
