Lemmy is fine, but less busy than reddit.
There’s the complete absence of u/spez being a cunt, so you have to adjust to the idea of your experience not being constantly downgraded.

Because defacing an ancient site has a clear connection to the environment… bunch of fucking self-centered attention-whores.
Just Stop Oil said the orange powder paint was cornflour and it would “wash away with rain”.
I wonder how many of your strong opinions are based on things that you don’t even bother to investigate beyond your first impression.

Attention laid off workers from the gaming industry:
I’m one hundred percent ready for working, complete games, that don’t require subscriptions, and can’t be bricked remotely. Make them, and I will buy.
I will buy your products. I will buy them instead of the product being churned out by the companies that cut you.

Boeing used to be a one of the Titans of aviation.
Now they have planes that fall apart mid-flight, and whistle blowers that die.
This is the end of an Era. The Boeing board, and anyone who’s been a part of it over the past decade or two should be ashamed of themselves.
- Comment on My small hot take on Dune pt 2 after having just seen it 8 months ago:
I was starting to think that’s what you meant after I sent the message.
Visually, i think that drives home the absence of warmth and humanity in House Harkonnen.

- Comment on My small hot take on Dune pt 2 after having just seen it 8 months ago:
Overall, I enjoyed the hell out of part 2.
Despite the differences from the source material, I feel that DV delivered the best adaptation of the book that I’ve seen. The only thing that I’ll ever see that’s better, will be the extended director’s cut.
Regarding Giedi Prime:
That was fucking gorgeous. It’s the perfect answer to the brief, Show us who and what the Harkonnens are, deep down where it counts. All of it. Grotesque displays of wealth and power. Sadistic cruelty. Ruthlessness and cunning. Ambition. Plans within plans. Literally laid out in black and white.
I would have preferred something closer to the book, as far as the entire royal Court ending was concerned, and specifically the fight between Paul and Feyd Rautha. I don’t think that it gave Feyd enough credit for how clever and cunning he is in the book. Specifically, the book version really fucking drives home the Plans Within Plans element.
Visually, I could eat every minute of those guerrilla warfare Harvester ambush scenes.
If I had the budget, I would have given DV the budget to do this story his way, but with eight to ten ninety minute episodes on Netflix. That would be excessive probably, but it’s my budget, so do the appendices too!

Well, he did run the company into a revenue-destroying iceberg (in this case, iceberg = Elon Musk), and is now rearranging the deck chairs as the company sinks, so all Titanic references are apt.
