  • What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

    Jump

  • The first season was pretty good, a bit too goofy at times (clearly aimed at a somewhat younger audience), but it had potential. The second season definitely dropped the ball.

  • I heard amazing things about Outer Wilds, was under the impression it was an adventure game but "make sure to go in blind!" was the universal advice so I didn't look up more, downloaded it, started to play, and really struggled with the controls. I wasn't raised with video games as a kid and I don't play platformers and such so my coordination is shit. When I went to the net to find a solution (because a lot of games have at least mods you can download to make things easier) but all I got was "get gud." I asked a friend who was like "oh yeah, I watched a stream of someone playing and it seems like a technically difficult game." So that's a pretty important warning to include with any Outer Wilds recommendation.

  • One of the rare "10/10, no notes" series from start to finish. Amazing finale too. Fantastic rewatch value.

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

  • Seconding this. PBS has a TON of YouTube channels for all kinds of interest areas. Not all are going to be geared to a middle school audience, but much like the TV stations themselves, at least you don't have to worry as much* about the potential content as a parent (in terms of quality or appropriateness) vs random YouTube channels.

    *I would say all their stuff is high school appropriate, but some of the more local/news-related stuff could be a bad fit for younger audiences depending on the kid, only because we don't live in a world that's child-friendly. Also channels like PBS Terra do a lot of videos about how fucked we are re: climate change (not in so many words of course) and although they do try to put an optimistic spin on it, sensitive kids might get freaked out by how bad things are (which would be an accurate response of course, so it depends on how much you've been trying to shelter your kid from this kind of thing I guess).

  • Kid Rock Mocked For Lip Syncing Through MAGA Super Bowl Stunt

    Jump

  • I saw a clip of the performance... It was a really bad lip sync. As in he kept pulling the mic away from his head well before the lyrics were over. I'd heard the controversy and was like, I'm sure it wasn't that obvious he was lip syncing, and was floored when I saw the actual performance.

  • Especially because they're trying to emulate the samurai dialect. It's inaccurate, but deserves points for trying!

  • "Kitten cuddling" is a euphemism. They are chaos gremlins with needles permanently affixed to their feet.

    Still cute tho.

  • This was just sitting on the ground outside!

  • Yeah but O'Brien is Irish-Irish, not Chicago-Irish. He wouldn't be caught dead with the stuff.

  • "Last Light", my latest project which took about 60hrs. Hope you like it 🤞

    Jump

  • I've never used Blender before, but sixty hours is a lot of work! Which part of the process was the most laborious/fiddly? (I saw the 40hr mark shot in another comment, which kind of gives me an idea)

  • Does anyone have any advice for young adults that are struggling in life?

    Jump

  • I haven't seen this mentioned yet so:

    Do not allow yourself to be persuaded, pressured, or bullied into having kids (including by yourself) until you feel 100% ready and that it's 100% what you want. The days of "nobody feels ready for kids; just go for it and it'll all work out" are way over. (This was always survivor bias bullshit advice, but with recent trends re: cost of living, housing availability, job market, etc., this attitude is straight-up reckless.)

    When you're young, even if you think you know what you're doing, you'll almost certainly make mistakes; having children makes moving through and moving on from those mistakes a hell of a lot harder. A sad number of folks I know in their 30s are stuck in places they no longer want to live having to regularly interact with people who ruined their lives because of their kids. Even when things go well, kids are a huge drain on your energy, finances, and ability to take advantage of new opportunities.

    It might be scary feeling like there are too many options available to you right now, but being forced into a certain life path because you have kids is not a fun way to resolve that.

  • Bad Bunyy plans to don a dress during his 2026 Super Bowl halftime show...

    Jump

  • It has a generally negative connotation, like someone who is filmed throwing a tantrum in public, or who posts a bunch of absolutely furious tweets in response to getting called out. Usually it's considered an embarrassing and excessive reaction (possibly career-ending, or reputation besmirching). But sometimes you'll see someone post a video/screenshot of a crash out with the title: "that was the most justified crash out ever," implying that yes, their reaction was extreme, but for a good reason.
