  I want antecipation and we all need it. In a time where everything is served to be consumed in one sitting, I think we need to get back that feeling of antecipation we had before the notion of an entire season of a series was made available in the same day. And what I find even more fascinating is that the same people that recoil at the idea of a movie lasting more than ninety minutes are those that glady sit for twelve or eighteen hours, if not more, to watch an entire season in one go.

  Video games and by extension all games are predicated on destruction and not on preservation and rebuild. I am aware there must be exceptions but they must be incredibly few and far between as I can’t name one nor anyone I know.

I’m looking at changing my phone in two or three months and the current phone I have was a bit of a let down. It’s a BlackView and I bought it being rugged but the phone comes with a few quirks I can’t get rid of. On Lemmy, Nothing Phone is randomly mentioned. Some talk down on it, others praise. I’ve set a budget for how much I’m willing to spend on my next phone but the store I u...
