It also doesn't help that a lot of boomers where lovely parents and their kids want nothing to do with them anymore.

I find that hilarious and relatable since they’ll all be forced to cry alone and scared in abusive nursing homes with ice-hearted bureaucrats impatiently waiting for them to die to make room for more olds to wring money from, since they have no community and abused their kids into hating them and wishing death on them

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

Thinking about DD gave me an idea for a question: What long games do y'all think justify their length?

The podcast Watch Out for Fireballs just did a 4 part show on Baldurs Gate 2, which I think does. The other IE games do a decent job as well, and maybe Pillars 2. Also, at least for the main game, DQXI. The post game was a bit sloggy and the bosses there kinda blended together since they were kind of pushing up against the limit of what they could do to make them challenging.

How many times did Kole and Gary use the word "articulate"? Their overuse of that word has finally and completely turned me off of the duckfeed.tv network.

My gaming resolution is to actually focus on something. I'm currently messing around in four MMOs (Warcraft, ESO, Secret World and LOTR) and trying to platinum Spider-Man and keep flitting back and forth with the attention span of a fruit fly.

Drop all of your MMORPGs in my opinion and focus on just Spider-Man.

There a whole multitude of complex interlocking factors for society's increasing alienation, the most important and profound of which being: No Commercially Available Sexbots. Paulie from Rocky IV had one thirty-five years ago, it's about time that our technology caught up with our imaginations.

It's weird that modern life has become so isolating that people will donate a small fortune to charismatic strangers who can convincingly mimic shared emotional responses with them from hundreds if not thousands of miles away. People always talk disparagingly about the sexbots, but at least that's some actual human contact, in a sense. Bring on the sexbots I say, they can't be much worse than this.

It's no different than any personality based entertainer job of the last 120 years but its just more targeted audiences so you can find someone you actually enjoy watching instead of tuning into Fireside Chats on the Radio once a day so you can find out what happened that day.

Only if the movie is completely average and not worth any real discussion. If the film is trash I will begin the poo poo talk as soon as the lights come on and if it's amazing I'll excitedly talk about that poo poo all the way home.

Sherlock & Watson is a notable exception where the entire theater cleared out before the credits roll and nobody joined in my slow clap.

Thing is people are starting treat these people like they're actual friends instead of just paid entertainers. Weird clingy fans have always been a thing in the past but its becoming more prevalent and metastasizing more than it used to with the advent of streaming where the streamer puts their personal lives out more and interacts with their audience.

I think the nature of streaming has totally evolved from a premise of personally enjoying an actor's personality or character as it stands in other forms of media to some vague simulacra of shared emotional response. The proliferation of reaction videos, unboxing videos, angry pink-haired man screaming into a microphone etc. is no longer about producing actual programmatic content so much as it is successfully replicating the appearance and conversational banter you'd have with your friends in real life, if people had real-life friends anymore. People aren't tuning in to streamers because there's an overarching program or vision for the channel, they're tuning in to see their preferred brand of emotional mimicry.

I went to the movies last week to see the new Spiderman thing with my little brother. We got shoved into corner seats in the front row and I had to twist my neck up to see the movie properly. Then I got sick from sitting in a chair some germbag was probably in earlier.

People can spend their money on whatever dumb poo poo they want. I think its pretty silly but some people are wealthy enough to do it and if it makes them happy who cares? They get to spend money supporting content they actually enjoy rather than feeding it all into the faceless maw of capitalism. I really don't see the problem.

Of course some people do stupid poo poo that makes it all look bad but name one aspect of humanity where that hasn't been the case?
