I'm glad the vibe came through for you! I revisit that video now and then and it always makes me feel better. Music can do that really well for me.
Not the guy in that video, but artists like Jack Johnson make me feel better about the world knowing people that make nice music like that are around. I hope you can find more good vibes.
I like this video a lot. I find it really soothing and beautiful and has a really cool ending. Somehow it leaves me feeling wholesome. Hopefully you can find some joy in it too
True, it's a curse that the hitman reboot trilogy is one of my favorite "games" of all time. Simply nothing can match it for me, not even the older titles in the same franchise. And it's always online. If they don't offer a contingency plan for end of life down the line my favorite experience will eventually disappear.
Novelty is a natural part of human experience. The only way we can exist is if things are not as incredibly mind bending as the first time you see them.
We perceive reality from the moment we open our eyes upon being born. By the time you comprehend what reality is, it's old hat. This happens to everything, from the first time you see a good movie, to the first time you drive a car on the freeway, eventually everything that we do repeatedly loses its novelty so that the human mind isn't constantly blown by all the crazy shit going on.
Oh nice! I really enjoy Ready or Not, it's nice to see more content for it. I saw their store page for this and it didn't state a price, so I'm curious what it'll be.
I don't think it necessarily excludes sex workers, it's just one of those terms that means more than the literal words. For example, just because it's not safe for work, doesn't mean it is then safe for all other situations, like a dinner with extended family.
If you wanted to redo the term to be more literally accurate, I suppose you could say "About or Depicts a Subject that you would rather not have to explain or openly reveal to someone whose beliefs or relationship with you are not casual enough to ensure that, without a doubt, their comfort with you will remain the same after being exposed to your viewing of said content, either in a professional or publicly social setting"
I am honestly not sure how to make that any shorter while encompassing all of what I feel NSFW has truly come to represent for society. It's similar, though not identical, to other words that may have originally meant one thing, but have come to mean another through the years.
If you work around forklifts, never trust the driver. Ideally they're being safe and watching out for you, but don't gamble on it. They're heavier than a car and can very easily kill you or at the least break your foot and it will be an arduous healing process.
That's interesting, I like playing those because the entire pathway is often unique to me, what about them makes you not curious to know your own path?
I like psychologically interesting movies, though my favorites aren't necessarily all like that. Some big ones for me:
Spirited Away - Miyazaki film about a girl who stops off at an abandoned amusement park while driving to a new house with her parents, who eat food meant for spirits and become pigs. She is unable to escape and ends up in the spirit world, enslaved by a witch who controls a spirit bathhouse as the protagonist attempts to rescue her parents and escape
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - a man and woman break up in a very lightly sci fi world where it's possible to erase people's memories, and they choose to erase each other and inevitably the man regrets it as it's happening in his mind
Perfect Blue - animated Japanese film about an Idol who tries to escape Idol life by becoming an actress, which is an incredibly difficult and stressful process as she deals with a stalker and the film/TV industry at the same time. As the movie continues she becomes so stressed and tired that the lines between reality and the films she's in begin to blur together and she starts to lose grip on reality.
21 and 22 Jump Street - FUCK they're just well written and well executed comedy.
Probably Mythos, Heroes, and Troy written and read by Stephen Fry. He writes Greek Mythology in a digestible, entertaining, but still information dense way, and he's an excellent narrator, of course.
Oh no, you're correct there, it's just sort of a shame that they took an otherwise pretty level tweet and then made the headline sound like he was being dismissive
Oooh, I see what you mean, yeah, that does make sense!
