It’s a pretty smart film in the context of when it was made and the political situation in the U.S. I remember when it was released a lot of people were pissed at it, it performed pretty poorly.

One of my favorite movies of all time. It’s so creative and charming. It has aged very well, I think.
Saw Asteroid City last night. Liked it a lot but it’s not my favorite Wes Anderson movie. It is, thought, the most Wes Anderson movie imaginable.
Yeah, I haven’t used Windows in years (not much of a PC gamer, I mostly play on consoles until I got my SD) and the more I read about Windows 11 and the bloat and telemetry the more I hated it. But I’m impressed how much they managed to shrink it into Tiny11 and might be tempted to experiment with it on a virtual machine.
If I were to try Windows I would definitely go with one of those super optimized installs that are like 3-4 gigs. Unless that breaks some of the DirectX functionality for games?
Is performance really the same under Windows? How do the controller layouts work under Windows? I’ve been wondering if it would be worth it to try Windows for a few games that have issues with Proton.
Yeah it’s insane how many people immediately jump to call you a liar when you post things like that. I guess the environment’s been poisoned by all the people making up stuff for karma. The karma concept sounds great in theory but becomes toxic quickly.
Don’t really know what the “best” experience was. I can’t say there was anything life changing for me. It was nice to have access to so much stuff in a very well designed app (Apollo) that let me share that content super easily with friends and family via Whatsapp or Telegram.
Worst interactions? There were many…the groupthink can be real bad. There are a lot of people who take karma very seriously. There was one sub, dedicated to a podcast, and it was clear there was a person that had six or seven alts because of the language they used and the debate style, and they would get so upset and downvote any disagreeing comment. Other subs had plenty of trolling, transphobia, shitty moderators, etc. Other subs became basically unusable because of how large they got and how many people posted “hey, look at me!” low effort content. You know, “art I did of X character” with 2,600 upvotes for what was a 10th grader type drawing done on a notebook. That kind of kills the visibility of posts with the potential for deeper or more meaningful conversation that don’t get as many upvotes.
In the end I think the main issue with Reddit is that it got too big. It attracted too many people on a superficial level, too many trolls, and most subs worth visiting at this point are dedicated to niche subjects and have smallish communities.
That’s why I’m deleting my account and taking my thousands of posts with me. I will create a new account to lurk in a couple of subs I like until there’s enough traffic here or elsewhere. I’m almost tempted to go into some of the more active forums and start posting ChatGPT generated garbage that seems superficially meaningful or relevant to start fucking with their idea to train AIs on Reddit posts.
I started a couple of communities as placeholders but don’t really have time to mod. There hasn’t been any activity yet but if / once people start posting we’ll figure it out.
Witcher 3, Death Stranding, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Disco Elysium and Elden Ring.
I like my Steam Deck but I’m not the world’s biggest superfan like a lot of guys in the subreddit were. It definitely has its shortcomings and things that could be improved.
They definitely overpromised. My bro got it for PS4 and apparently it was nearly unplayable. I remember when the Witcher 3 came out it also had quite a few issues but not this bad.
I bought it on sale at Steam a while ago when I got my Steam Deck, but didn’t play much and when I picked it up again it had glitched and replaced my save with something completely different. I’m happy they are updating it and making it into the game that was promised…maybe I’ll give it another chance on decent hardware.
The quality of discussion on Reddit will also suffer. They may actually gain new users from all the media attention they’ve been getting, but I can already tell that some of the subreddits I frequented have seen some of the best members leave and more people more obsessed with fitting in / upvotes and trolls shitposting. It doesn’t take much for a niche sub with, say, 5k users of which 200 are really engaged with the sub, to change for worse once those people start coming in.
