All this stuff about the immigrant kids being detained in the US is so fucking awful and miserable and despicable. Seeing Trump use children as a bargaining chip in negotiations is disgusting but depressingly not surprising.

The non-discoverability plague isn't unique to Minecraft, but to me it seemed like it started the trend of "you can't play our game without looking it up on the internet".

My most recent game purchase, PUBG, has the same problem if you pick it up cold, even if you are a seasoned FPS player. "what are these blue and white and red circles on my map? Who is this running man on my HUD and what is the bar underneath him? What's that bar above my health?"

Minecraft's lack of discoverability is a problem in general, like how would you figure out how to make a portal to the nether without looking it up online?

The Minecraft crafting system is cute but annoying. I just want an axe I don't want to have to remember exactly how to arrange rocks and sticks in a grid to make one. Also how does it take 3 cubic meters of rocks to make an axe?

🤔

@rysiek It's happened with white noise too, https://gizmodo.com/man-s-youtube-video-of-white-noise-hit-with-five-copyri-1821804093

Remember in Bojack Horseman where they make a joke that Vincent Adultman bought the movie rights to the game Tag from some kindergartners? I guess movie execs thought that was actually a good idea when they greenlit the Tag movie.

The cringiest part of Deadpool 2 might be when he's like "dubstep is cool XD" and they play That Skrillex Song that normies will recognize, and treat it like this setup is some kind of joke somehow?

@22 the find command is also super handy for this since it will recurse through directories

I'm kinda skeptical that Jurassic World 2 will be good, but it looks like they finally made a Jurassic Park movie without any damn children in it so that's promising.

Deadpool 2 quick review:

Recognizing that you're in a movie, or that the plot is bad is not a joke. At best it's cloying, at worst you're just acknowledging the movie's many flaws, and brushing them away without trying to fix them. Deadpool is marketed and branded as not being like one of the tens of other marvel movies of the past few years, but it really is. Take out the blood, swearing and bad meta jokes, and it's a below-average X-Men movie. Pass unless you like capeshit.

@tobascodagama @cypnk Uber gets away with public beta testing of steel death machines on public roads with emergency braking systems off in the USA until they killed somebody, it's not crazy to think you could find a country in South America that would turn a blind eye to a dinosaur zoo.

@wxcafe tbh they even stuck out on the 64
