Gotta say that the “who can move?” Is a powerful concept for me. Addressing the list by what can be done now really helps filter it down. I know that if I get started on my list the momentum usually carries through to other tasks, but getting started can be as easy as “that can be worked on now.” I’m not OP but I appreciate your comment!
I would say that you can be vegan and still be eating food that was shipped in on boats then trucks. Vegan would be a net positive for any switch from the conventional western diet, but I see the merit in focusing in on carbon footprint of the food in question. And as potentially silly as calling oneself a ‘regenivore’ is, it still conveys a message and invitation for others to learn about alternatives and things they might too value.
Yooo I’ve been on a kick of Milo/R.A.P. Ferreira for a couple months now. My first experience was the album budding ornithologists are tired of weary analogies - love the flowing thought streams of more abstract connections. Have not heard cavalcade so I’ll give it a listen!
And I just reread your comment for what sounds like: editing tips so scenes don’t go on too long. Make them shorter. An apparently misquote attributed to Mark Twain goes “if I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” Terrible ‘tip’ I know, but by finding what it is you’re trying to accomplish with a scene and then trimming all the excess it is like refining a jewel so it shines more brightly.
Without knowing more of the specifics I can recommend some general tips. It sounds like, from “knit everything together”, you have a bag of scenes that you started because you liked them but didn’t necessarily have how they fit together in mind. That’s ok but it’s a little bit the “we’ll fix it in post” approach - but that’s what editing is for! Just takes longer.
Ok, if that’s the premise I would say my favorite way to tie scenes together is by them ‘rhyming’, Fifth Element does this beautifully. Every transition somehow rhymes with the how the scene before it ended. It’s not a copy however, a character lighting a cigarette at the end of a scene isn’t matched by another lit cigarette but it could be a plume of exhaust from a car, or characters around a fire, or perhaps someone coughing from a punch in the stomach. All you’re doing is rhyming with how the scene before ended. Bonus points if it emphasizes the scene somehow, totally fine if it’s just a transition into something engaging.
The quality of film is just so charming. It really melds the photo together with neither the lights or the blacks blowing out but retain a feeling of measured contrast. Or, you just got it right on in camera :P.
I think the composition really works here with the grey tones of the street leading to the store and bright lights only to cut into black sky. The two spot lights and the A shaped light in the center does look like a face to me, like the center portion could open up as a mouth and talk all stop motion style - but that’s just me 🤓
Just wanting to clarify a difference from the copy paste edit, particularly the claim about cyberpsychosis. Here’s the paragraph from the article, parentheses are my addition:
A new Edgerunners perk allows you to even surpass that (the limit of cyberware), while accepting some penalties, like having a health debuff. “It’s all about this balance between risk and reward,” Sasko explained. “We are not going as far as the introduction of cyberpsychosis though, have that in mind.”
I would probably enjoy some gameplay mechanic of cyberpsychosis but I’m not sure how they would pull that off outside of a scripted story sequence. For the most part, players are already gunning down everyone in the room, so cyberpsychosis only has meaningful impact if you end up killing someone you wanted to protect. I imagine it would be hard for that situation to show up organically.
That worked for me. Logging in was as easy as logging in here on browser.
Looked up “John Mastodon” and found tons of recent astroturfing of this name and recent Twitter account. Not sure if this post is an attempt to create a further paper trail for a fictitious individual - or just participation in the meme of “John Mastodon”
Yo, Session is tight! Just picked it back up recently and forgot how tough it can be. Super fun to cruise around the map and find spots to try tricks over and over. The lack of UI is so nice to just hang out in
I’ve gotten really into rogue-likes (rogue-lites second) and am currently playing through Children of Morta and Devil Slayer Raksasi. Children of Morta is much more fun with another player, the gameplay is enjoyable but the synergy of two players is great. Story is nice with narration for everything.
Devil Slayer Raksasi is a top down, weapon-based, action game set in Chinese mythology. It sorta reminds me of a flash game but the combat is super fun. Distance and timing are crucial, and with any good rogue-like you can get some real steamroller item combos. The gameplay is really fun but the story is mostly forgettable haha
“Like its earlier namesake, AGRA’s ‘revolution’ reduces farmers’ autonomy, making them reliant on artificial inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides supplied by corporations, the civil society alliance says. Moreover, these agrochemicals ravage the natural world – from waterways to insects – and play a central role in the world’s environmental crises.”
Echoes baby formula companies coming in telling African people’s breast milk is not as good as formula, creating a dependency on formula when the birthing person does not work on their breast milk supply (by feeding or pumping). Doubly troublesome when the water needed for the formula is not clean and infants then get sick.
Babies can be fed by the parent’s body, people can grow food sustainably tailored to their own environment - though that is not profitable for people looking to take advantage of others.
Yepperunies. Run this through a reverse image search, I dare you! Hahaha. The poetry was written in contemplation of the image for this post specifically.
I had an account before their update and unification of services so they bumped my account up to unlimited. I did not now this was added, so thank you!
I was using Mozilla’s Relay and was just thinking about something more expansive and customizable. I recognize how people can think of this as an ad, but in my case you’re highlighting benefits I was unaware of.
I appreciated that the humans depicted in the hypothetical responded with kindness and humanity in light of the disillusionment of money.
Quoting the caption of a photo in the article: “U.S. markets closed as traders left their jobs and resolved for once to do or make something, anything of real value.”
I’m genuinely curious as to why you feel that fiat currency is better than bitcoin (or cryptocurrencies is general)? Unless that was sarcasm or a joke pertaining to the spirit of the article.
I’m not as well read on the topic but I would say that any society of humans working together would require some form of resolving dispute - provided that the individuals it concerns cannot come to terms on their own.
With the freedom of pure imagination, I can see a society that lives freely where needs are met if possible by those who can and are willing to meet them. In line with utopian imagination, no one desires to exert power over others (unless in consensual and temporary scenarios) so relationships and collaboration are done with a spirit of purpose/being rather than what one will get in exchange.
Is that practical? Not at face value, because even the best intentioned people make mistakes: in the misinterpretation of what was communicated, or unintentionally overstepping what is comfortable. Both of those can be addressed through healthy and empathetic communication, which is a style accessible to all humans. So I could see a society that openly communicates on all sorts of things and clears their relationships by acknowledging when one’s self has a “pebble in my shoe” feeling of something to address.
Pretty sure it is not zoomed in. Mario looks the same, text at top looks the same, and blocks look the same. I could throw this into photoshop and overlay the blocks and texture of the ground in the 2nd image, money on it being the same.
I agree that seeing ground and having the blocks be built up on the ground is psychologically more reassuring.
Note that is culture.
