#DeathStranding must be the most annoying game I've ever gotten addicted to. This stupid idiot keeps tumbling and falling over the tiniest pebbels and MULEs keep tearing me apart in unnavigateable forests, I'm glad I've not yet broken my controller - but for some godforsaken reason I cannot stop playing. The story isnt even very captivating, but something about it has me hooked.

@ohai just wanted to let y'alls know that the toot translation API endpoint seems to be down. trying to translate a tweet results in a 503.

there's finally some brave and bold experimentation happening in the #edm world (or it might just now be entering my radar).
I am now starting to hear unusual time signatures and complex and dissonant harmonies more often than ever.

some examples are "Matches" by Underbelly (https://youtu.be/OtVnwyuB-GY) and "LOADING" by Cev Aura (https://youtu.be/yDsJLLVxJfw). If you know of more fitting #music, please share so I can add them and the artists to my watchlist.

Studio Ghibli make lush and captivating animated films. So, on occasion, do other studios, but of how many of their pictures can we say that each and every still frame constitutes a work of art in itself?

If we manage to push advertisers out of the internet by building this independence, the internet should become a much less controlled, limited and honestly boring space.

At least these are my hopes and dreams. I'm sick of conglomerates controlling everything. I want to see a change. It can't continue like it is now.

Let me know what you think.

Since I've really, deeply realized how messed up the power structure of the internet is, I've also realized that approaches to the internet like Mastodon should, and hopefully soon will be the entire main stage of the web.
Sharing the workload of a global network between its users, decentralizing the data, and distributing the immense cost between the many people who use it, seems to me like the only way to actually have freedom of expression, since no huge external parties are depended on.

The whole Twitter debacle has made me realize how horrible the current state of the web and its social media platforms is. As with anything, capitalism has taken control over the entire web, since every platform is dependant on advertisers, and therefor will not make decisions by what's morally, politically or otherwise right or wrong, but simply and solely based on what pleases the ad-buying companies.

The advertisers fund the web, keep it running. They make the rules. We are just tolerated.

I hate Black Friday / Cyber Monday.

It made me spend over 500 bucks on stuff I don't actually need 😢

blockchain gaming sucks shit. it’s been 4 years and nobody has been able to produce anything even remotely good.

feels a lot like everything else on chain. a solution in search of a problem — and that problem is “how do we make more money”?

prove me wrong. you can’t 🤡
