serious trouble

Grindhouse's new The Beyond 4k is beautiful and makes me want to cry for what we've lost.

I think that's why people are so quick to call the death of gb - we want to preserve it, to protect it as a perfect memory of a time before influencers and YouTube and the naked financialisation of internet fun. They sold friendship in a way that seems impossible to imagine now.

But it was always a fantasy. Giant bomb was a teenage dream of an Internet running off bro vibes rather than money. From hotspot 1 to jeff's firing from gb, i believed, and i loved those guys. We were young and naive and hopeful.

As much as it was about games, it was about the internet and community, and a celebration of the raw excitement of seeing the world change year on year, seemingly for the better. For many of us, those guys were the original parasocial relationship.

Giant bomb. Many times now the Internet has called it, yet it keeps going. What even is it? I think originally, it was about how to integrate play into adult life. For those of us of the same age as jeff and the og gamespot crew, it was a collective coming-of-age in the new Internet era

I did not power through, but I will be hitting Revelations tonight. A truly miserable movie 👍

what a fuckin movie

watching hellraiser: hellworld in my toronto hotel room after returning from a work karaoke that nobody told me was cancelled.

Sam, it’s me. Edge-Hardman. Just wanted to let you know that you can jack off a little whenever you want by pressing and holding L1. You don’t have to cum.

Dreamed about making plastic model kits. Still thinking about it 17 hours later. Brain is retreating from reality.

@killstreakpod.bsky.social thank you for watching a good film. A rare treat.

My better half has never even heard of a cybertruck. Just imagine....

Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence a book by James Bridle. 'Heady, exhilarating, often astonishing' New York Times 'Iridescently original, deeply disorientating and yet somehow radically hopeful ... worth reading and rereading' Brian Eno 'Be prepared to re-e...

A book i liked a lot about computers was james bridle's 'ways of being'. It has a peaceful and calming tone. Zooming the camera out and thinking about animals and natural processes, and alternative forms of intelligence and methods of computation, helps to reduce the panic and increase hope.

Cyberlibertarianism An urgent reckoning with digital technology’s fundamentally right-wing legal and economic underpinnings In a timely challenge to the potent political role ...

There's a lot of chitchat these days about how computers are bad now, but I'm quite enjoying this david golumbia book about cyberlibertarianism that makes an interesting case that no, the whole thing has *always* been shit, and has been sewing the seeds of democratic collapse since the old days.

I need to stop going on about hellraiser films.

Hellraiser started with Hellraiser being my favourite (obviously), but now I'm all about Deader and Revelations because every time I watch them there's some new shit thing that I didnt notice before. Each watch delivers a discovery and adds new shitty depth.

wrapping up the The Howling series with 2011's The Howling Reborn. Similar to the Hellraiser series... watching one shit film after another for weeks with no hope of improvement has a strange affect. An undeserved affection can take hold for the most pathetic entries of the series.

flavor flav has a penchant for speaking about himself in the third person [citation needed]

did flavor flav write this

Had to go through a lot of rituals and give a speech, and in the speech, I decided to announce that the main threat to the cenobite way of life was the digital world.

Dreamed i was going to be the next cenobite leader after pinhead got killed. Was in two minds about it. A privilege, but also, ouch. Couldn't decide on a 'thing' (like his pins), but was erring towards something related to barbed wire. wasn't looking forward to it hurting.

The most painful thing is the realization that we have built and accepted such an extraordinary digital panopticon that the kinds of social movements necessary may be much more difficult than we have dared to imagine.

Lucio Fulci being interviewed, subtitle reads: "I could cite 100 American films copied from 10 good Italian films"
