The movie is very loosely based on the first book. The screenwriter read it, had a dream about it, then wrote the movie based off the dream they had, intentionally never referencing the book while writing it. Which… Idk. Kinda fits the vibe of the story, but I’d love an authentic adaptation of the book, because it’s incredible.

The second book was a hard read for me, but it’s worth it to get to third, and honestly the third kind of retroactively makes the second one better. There’s supposed to be a 4th in the works I believe, but don’t quote me on that.

Reminds me of the biologist from Annihilation. Time to reread the trilogy I guess.

As a GA resident right across the river from SC, I understand that sentiment. SC sucks. Those bastards stole our city name and our fuckin baseball team.

The gun is good! The penis is evil!

Man, this is Lemmy in a nutshell. Someone offers a well thought-out and well-written view to give some perspective on the other side of a popular Lemmy opinion, and the first response is just straight up ignoring the opportunity to have a real conversation and attacking the commenter as a person.

This place fucking sucks.

I lost my house in Helene, and I’m still struggling to adjust. My wife, kid, and I are cooped up in a hotel with nothing but clothes. My daughter has some of her stuffed animals, and friends have donated some toys and stuff for her, but otherwise we’re just kind of here in limbo. I don’t know how long it will be until we can get our home back together and start getting things back to normal.

There’s no shortage of great boomer shooters these days, and I think they check the “brain off, cozy shooter” criteria.

I finally made a TikTok recently. On desktop, I couldn’t follow anybody, and after a week I couldn’t upload videos. Downloaded the mobile app, and my phone battery started losing 40-50% more battery per day, despite less than 5 minutes of usage per day in the tiktok app (uninstalled tiktok and all of a sudden my battery issues are gone).

Some time in the last week, I was suspended for having my twitch name visible in a tiktok. Or at least I assume so, since they never actually told me why I was suspended, or even that I was until I tried to login to upload a video.

What I’m getting at is, fuck tiktok.

Yep, that was it. Makes me feel a little bit better that every comment under it is calling it out though, thanks for the follow-up.

My favorite example of this so far, the top rated comment on a post about players making a one million science per hour factory in factorio:

Factorio is proprietary software, Mindustry is not

Lemmy is so negative, it even hates Factorio.

I actually just made a video about this story today. It’s crazy how far ebay went with this.

lol guess Lemmy doesn’t like self-promotion. Noted.

The peanut butter is exactly the reason he picked that pronunciation. Choosy developers choose gif.
