@femboigarfield I got the vibe that a lot of the crew they had working on this one were 90s millennials who grew up w/ the game & had a deep reverence for the game. If the rumour of them doing MM & then a third game set in this era turned out to be true, that'd be dope

@IQshredded Anthropic really have rebranded as the cartoon supervillains of the AI scene

@Y2K_mindset >it's a "my TL is gonna be 80% CT acting like it's the last act of Melancholia" episode

@bradkelly ive known (white) people who were extremely pro-immigration but also pro-LandBack in the most literal "all the white people need to actually leave North America" sense

[Owen @World3tk]

@JohnTitor137 i consider myself extremely cynical about electoral politics but i still assumed it would take them at least a week to bungle their goodwill lol

[Owen @World3tk]

@Y2K_mindset it might be my imagination but i feel like they're getting exceedingly efficient at the whole "oh shit election coming up, we need to make ppl feel like voting Does Something -> haha i can't believe they keep falling for this shit" cycle

@gnocchiwizard I have a weird relation w/ all this music bc it was very much the youth culture of my demographic, permeated every scene i was in, & yet i've actually listened to a grand total of two of these albums (and neither would be anywhere close to my top 20 list)

[Owen @World3tk]

@_SatanWatch I go back & forth on it but usually I'm pretty liberal w/ the muting bc I take the idea of "what yr exposed to informs your thought" seriously. This *does* however lead to the opposite problem where I get endless 85IQ affirmation content, "great things coming soon!"

[Owen @World3tk]

@_SatanWatch I've also noticed the algo basically ignoring my blocked words list, like I keep getting Cl*vicular slop despite that being one of the first words on my block list

[Owen @World3tk]

@_SatanWatch Definitely an uptick in slop culture bs. Maybe Musk got burnt out on using this place as a political engine & went "fuck it, do whatever makes this thing make the most money, those Mars spaceships ain't paying for themselves"

[Owen @World3tk]

Distinctly 2020s feeling of noticing someone irl consistently bringing up "random" topics shortly after they had "randomly" come to mind for you, and realizing that the algorithmic brainwashing they're hitting this person w/ must be quite similar to your own

[Owen @World3tk]

@7ohntitor @benjitaylor Fyp is always like 20% mutuals, 10% random stuff im actually interested in, 70% repetitive cortisol-bait relating to some news story I accidentally hovered over for more than three seconds

@iamchisayomoda Sonichu's Tales to His Grandson

[Owen @World3tk]

@Y2K_mindset out of context it just looks like someone schizoposting about the larger scale effects of toxoplasma gondii

[Owen @World3tk]

@caesararum I like the ambiguity at the end of MoPI where the 'solution' pursued is to permanently keep humans at the level of extremely inbred subsistence farmers who stamp out any individual curiousity, and even that probably won't hold forever

[Owen @World3tk]

@whatKCthought @WireRacing The recognition of this seems to be a defining theme of this century. After the long experiment of trying to create a rational populace, it is increasingly understood that (for better or worse) ppl don't want to be rational. They want grandeur, they want energy. Even smart ppl

[Owen @World3tk]

@realityspammer My optimistic read is that this is a mostly sarcastic process of disenchanting the non-liberatory political factions that emerged in the first quarter of this century, by making them feel increasingly arbitrary
