Superhero movies seem to have peaked, and games and toys have been worked over too, so studios will no doubt be looking for new sources to mine for intellectual property.
@FlockOfCats I predict a resurgence of board game movies. Clue was great, but where is Candyland, Monopoly, Hi-ho Cherry-O, Trouble, Sorry, Trivial Pursuit, Snakes (or Chutes) & Ladders, Mystery Date, Fireball Island, Solar Quest or Pictionary?
@kurau@FlockOfCats One of the point unlocks for my twitch streams is "Show me the plushie" at which point I pause and show one of the dozens of plushies I have on camera & tell its story.
I was scrolling through my Facebook looking for an old pic. I never use it anymore, but I’d forgotten how much I used to post there. Lots of pics, updates about stuff I was doing, G-rated shitposts, because you can only be so risqué when your grandmother follows you.
I should download it all for me and then nuke the account bulb…maybe just keep a shell there because some family might need it to contact me
@FlockOfCats Hey. The world and many individuals in it is crap right now. So many many things suck. You feeling down, depressed or overwhelmed about it is not a character flaw, it's an accurate feeling for such an unfair extended traumatic situation.
You be kind to yourself today, especially mentally. Try to go to bed an hour earlier.
Hoping tomorrow is better.
@FlockOfCats Isn't it odd how music peaked right when we started being able to understand and feel the emotions behind it, and everything before that point is trite and everything since has been empty?
Smith et al. (2019) have found that many authors like to include redundant citations when mentioning the author in the running text (Smith et al., 2019).
@FlockOfCats When my thesis needed some padding, I’d look at who people I had cited had cited and cited them directly.
Not a lie, per se, just not the complete truth.
Saving screenshots of these articles about Wendy's surge pricing now to save some time later so I can be the first one to post a "how it started, how it's going" meme with a headline about Wendy's filing for bankruptcy or having one of their stores be burned down.
Hey fellow Covid Cautious people, how do you deal with overwhelming loneliness and despair? Because, y'know, everyone else is fully capable of dealing with these things and it's just me who doesn't know the one weird trick to coping with an absurd and horrific existence.
@Traiken@niji_limbo I schedule Discord calls with friends. I know it sucks to do that, but it makes it something to look forward to. I have some friends I call weekly, some monthly, some rarer than that, but it does help a lot.
