It’s interesting how some things have changed over the years when it comes to chat rooms. And how other things haven’t. When I first started in The Palace the internet was new, and chat rooms were for shut-ins, agoraphobes, and nerds. We basically lived on the internet. So it made sense to some to treat the room as a place you entered and left.

Now you can sit on a discord server on mobile and have a life, pop in the middle of a conversation somewhere and then leave it. And some servers still suggest you greet a room like you live there.

It’s like, when I was a kid, having internet access to all human knowledge, anywhere, would have been a divine gift. Now we all have computers in our pockets and some people still argue about basic facts that can be resolved instantly. We treat technology very strangely.

The end of Red Dead Redemption. Spoilers for a game that’s over a decade old, but John’s death was a brutal cruelty that stayed with me for a long, long time.

And here I am handing out candy to the neighborhood kids while they walk around with huge smiles and laughter.

This whole fucking thing is fucked.

I thought it said antique and didn’t question that, either.

Hey so like, new games come out like every day, dude, so…

History seems to agree. Seventy-five percent of films from the silent era have been lost forever. Television shares a similar fate.

When a new medium is created, it seems we don’t put much thought into preservation.

Shaders are lighter.

Every time a sequel or a comic book movie lands on its face, someone rewrites an article about franchise/superhero fatigue. And that’s been going on for over a decade.

People will show up to watch a good movie. Guardians 3 did really well. Spider-Man is the “same old stuff.” This is all cherry picking examples. Movies don’t do well when they’re bad or the star is unappealing somehow.

Hollywood will stop making these movies when people stop paying to see them.

OLED. It’s not much of a problem anymore.

Seems natural if you’re telling Paul’s story.

I’d love to see his vision of Leto but I’ll take what I can get.

There’s no cutoff. Find a better dating pool.

I appreciate you.
