Agreed, I love coming here to contribute now that I can’t comment or upvote on Reddit. This platform will eventually be considered Reddits successor.

They did! Spielberg is so committed to his craft that he went to Tom Hanks hometown and asked all the locals if they’d like a chance at being as famous as Tom. So many signed up without reading their contract, which stated that there was live ammunition being used on set. Vin Diesel was actually supposed to die, but a machine gun jammed and the ensuing awkward conversation with the director led to Vin getting a feature role in exchange for his silence about Spielberg’s method directing. He parlayed that little incident into a ten film series about cars or some dumb shit.

To think that if Steven Spielberg had done his goddam job we could’ve all been saved from watching the Chronicles of Riddick! Crazy times.

This is so cool, I’m so uninformed about Plex. I just heard about it on r/Piracy days before the Reddit shutdown. I’m getting ready to sit down and learn how to do all that, the hardware will baffle me I’m sure.

Full size in Connect on Android for me

I’m about to play the Bioshock trilogy for the first time in over a decade. Never played 2 and 3, only got about halfway through 1 when it came out. I’m also about 75% through Super Metroid, which I never beat as a kid. I know that’s outside of the 1-2 year window, but I love older games. Scored the Bioshock trilogy for like 15 bucks too, can’t beat that.

I just finished the Behind the Bastards podcast on Vagrancy. the destruction of the third place and destroying the ability to be anywhere for free without being hassled by the law has changed a part of America that was great. The freedom to exist is becoming elusive. The freedom to find common space with like minded people, that’s becoming hard to find too. I hope this place helps.

I really liked Wefwef, it led me to finding Connect, which I like even more. Excited for Sync too, it’ll just get easier and easier to help build this community

I’m pretty “stupid” as well when it comes to online literacy, it’s definitely challenging me to use Lemmy (I’m on Jerboa right now, gonna try some other apps like Wefwef and Sync when it comes out to see how I like them) but I really like the community and the potential here. I’m gonna have to learn how to do a lot of new things here, like figure out the extent of where my log in works, how to organize the instances I want to go to and be a part of, and how to search through this content. But I’d rather get on the ball now so I can fully integrate and leave Reddit behind. It already felt like a cesspool before Spez did his thing, and it’s getting worse by the minute now that the 3rd party apps are down
