No no no. No one should ever watch the remakes. The OG show and End of Eva movie, while not perfect, are an extraordinary and focused (again, with a few exceptions and missteps along the way) artistic expression from a soul in pain trying to understand and work through their traumas, the kind of exercise that some of the best art comes from.

The remakes are nonsensical meta garbage about Anno (the artist in question) trying to leave behind this behemoth IP empire that he accidentally created and desperately wants to be free of, to the point that he couldn’t even finish the damn things himself.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I truly regret the time I spent watching the remakes.

A Look Around You reference in the Wild? My day is made! ❤️

Having it as a ’launch title’ with the Steam Machine release would be more hype than the world could handle.

God I love SCP so much. Probably why I loved Control so much, it was like playing SCP: The Game or something.

How has the Tolkien estate not already sued them into oblivion for this?

That’s why I just put em in a subscription, now I don’t have to worry about it.

“Draper heard about the whistle from other phreakers. The whistle easily played at 2600Hz, the perfect tone to, in Apple Inc. [co-founder Steve Wozniak’s words], “seize a phone line.”

Huh, I had always wondered why the hacking magazine was called 2600. Guess that explains it, neat!

That movie was far far better than it had any right to be. An absolute classic from start to finish.

God, I love these posts.

Sounds like the perfect excuse for a rewatch!

“Dade? What are you doing?”

Edit: the prompt was for “I’m… taking over a tv station."

C’mon people let’s start a Hackers quote marathon for crying out loud!

This post is pure unfiltered 100% awesome! I find I’m frequently having anxiety attacks these days because of… <gestures at everything>, but reading this massive in-depth writeup, just letting me soak in a hobby I love but don’t have much time for as I’d like, has relaxed me more than anything has in months. Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in the future!

Saw “Bridge City" and then read your description of them and thought, “I’m willing to bet they’re from Portland.” Checked out their web page and yup, of course they are! Dammit, I love Portland!

I also liked this:

“We have people who have been run over by trauma, by substance abuse, by all of these things,” LeBrun told Macleans. “It’s about excavating that person, buried under their circumstances, little by little.”

Seems like a decent dude.
