Yeah, no I think you are spot on in that last sentence. We, as viewers, enthusiasts and consumers can only vote with our wallets. I have spent a lot more effort trying to bring people to independent showing and movies that aren’t the highest grossing/budget films.

But while that may be true, I definitely also went and saw Oppenheimer, Barbie and across the spider-verse.

But I think the whale, tar, Banshees of Inisherin, everything everywhere all at once, triangle of Sadness - all did fairly well at the movies, and despite being far from low budget indiemovies, I think that gives me a lot of confidence that cinema is alive and thriving!

While I don’t disagree on the main points of your post, I’d like to counter by saying I think we are back on the rise. We see eastern movies more frequently make it to our cinemas (at least where I live), and a decline in interest when it comes to superhero stuff. We had a Norwegian movie outsell Aquaman the past weekend and that’s wild. (I know, Aquaman isn’t at the top of people’s hype-list).

I myself also decided to make the choice to go and see more indepent films, attend screenings/festivals in my city and stop going to the marvel shows. It’s been a blast and I’m loving going to the movies more than ever as a result!

The more I play it, the more I enjoy it. Sure it has its flaws and definite issues, but they’ve also hit a perfect mid of systems to manage (food, temps, disease etc) where it makes sense and it’s not too overbearing. They’ve also included a hefty amount of welcome QoL changes.

Still, I can’t craft bulk cloth at once etc and some of those things irk me. The procedural (?) generation is a bit repetitive and mob spawns are a complete mess

Been playing Return to Moria with a friend and we’re having a blast! Got to do a few games of The Finals playtest and that was great fun.

Also got to test a few games of CS2 and actually enjoyed that more than expected as well.

Yeah that would be my tip. Once the seasons end in these games, they are transferred over to become non-seasonal characers so nothing is lost.

But that can be a solution for the next one! d3 is such a fun game

I ordered parts and built my own, super fun hobby! The custom keyboard scene is very fun

I agree about the quests feeling fairly good, but my hod is the jour Al itself atrocious. No way to remove/hide quests from the map. Many quests sort of remain in this “not done” quest state because completing it will have undesirable outcomes and it feels weird that I have to keep it there still

Purely based on population I’m an exceptional climbing instructor.

For me it’s the gentle lullof the motor and mild sway of the plane. I just can’t stay awake if I try

Around 12 years of reddit here. Completely purged my account and then deleted it. Haven’t been back since.

Noticed that google which is basically a glorified reddit search engine, has become even worse

I miss a lot of my niche content

Yes and no to an extent. I support them being able to advertise for their stuff somewhere, but subs need to take a stance on what they allow. So much you see on reddit is the same photo x-posted to 50 subs and often not “fitting” into the sub, it just becomes spammy.

Stuff like gonewild becomes wildly different if it becomes just a promotion-sub. Can’t there just be that instead?
