honestly they don't even need to. Just find someone compliant who runs "/r/video" or "/r/interestingvideos" or "/r/vibeos" and promote them to default sub.
Save on electricity by just wearing a headlamp to save on electricity and getting those spooky horror game vibes.
In my creative commons lorenz lasic dream society they would be as accessible as the director's cut thanks to an open remix culture.
I want to watch a 60 minute cut of the lord of the rings trilogy to refresh myself on aragorn trivia before a hot date. I want to see The Batman cut down to 90 minutes just so I can argue about what they left out. I want to talk to my coworkers about American Psycho only to find out they watched the PG version because their kids were in the room.
me in my bachelor days owning exactly one fork, one knife and one coffee cup for this reason
Any multiplayer is implicitly a test of your soft skills. Toxic players can either git gud at being decent humans or go back to campaign mode.
I really should have given it a chance by now but The Martian clicked with me so well (only book I've ever finished and then immediately started again) that I was scared of sullying it if his next book was as bad as random people on the internet said lol
Nice. My advice is that if a book hasn't grabbed you in the first couple chapters then don't feel obliged to stick it out just because it's popular. I've spent a lot of time powering through books I didn't like (usually audiobooks on 2x speed) just to see if they got better by the end and they very rarely do lol.
I am on board with Medieval John Wick 5 as long as he gets to bring like one duffel bag of guns and ammo with him.
The running segment of "One host reads out a tech startup's name / mission statement / nonsensical management-speak verbiage from their website and the other two hosts have to guess their business model" is my favourite part. Even better as they accidentally predicted the Greensill Capital collapse by virtue of all of the dumbest startups they found being funded by the same place.
Fair, and that's probably the main reason I couldn't get into it for books that I hadn't personally read since I can't tell if they're punching down at some hyper specific genre author who I otherwise have no reason to interact with
That said, when they're punching up at a super popular and successful book that has made millions of dollars it feels (imho) very light hearted and fun rather than as hateful as I made it sound. If you've ever vented to someone about a book even though they're just giving the equivalent of "that's nice, dear" responses then you may enjoy this podcast.
Their latest series is on Artemis - a book I put off despite adoring the author's other two books because I'd heard it just isn't as good. Now I'm probably going to read it so I can enjoy the good parts now and the bad parts when I listen to the podcast :)
For outsiders - the name is a reference to the length of Ready Player One ("372 pages we'll never get back") and while you can enjoy it second-hand, it's best enjoyed as a read-along book club solely for ragging on the book.
I personally only tune in for books that I've actually experienced but it reading the first run after being the only one in my friend group to dislike Ready Player One was the sweetest catharsis I never knew I needed.
(this shares some hosts / guests with Trashfuture which is one of the two other podcasts I listen to)
WTYPP is the best podcast with slides around . The best way I can explain it is your substitute teacher trying to give a civil engineering lecture while two smartass students crack jokes and distract him. It's the only podcast I know where a host will stop talking about the orphans crushed under mining slag to take a leak, crack a beer into the mic on their return, argue about some inside joke from 30 episodes earlier and then calculate how many inflation-adjusted xboxes a company was fined for killing all these orphans.
It ranges from the dry, detail oriented explanations of an event, to the wider capitalist pressures that led to the conditions where it occurred and there will be an equal number of irreverent jokes throughout.
Then it all wraps up with the user-write-in section about how ways their own bosses have tried to kill them to save a buck.
Also I introduced it to a friend and they're trans now so be prepared. 10/10 podcast.
I think we're past the idea of selling to regular people. You'll just hold your family's wealth in residential housing until you pass it to your children or you get bought out by another, larger dynasty so your children will at least have some money as they join the renting class.
