I love you so much for this.

A new Ori game. :/

What a lovely idea!

Oh my god. This was amazing.

I don't think that guy can feel his teeth.

I wish I had just a bit of whatever he's on. Holy shit.

How about "Young Lust" vs. "Great Gig in the Sky" by Floyd? Or pretty much any song from the Syd era.

Hard relate to Pikachu

🎶 "Obeying all the traffic laws In Grand Theft Auto 5…" 🎶

My parents were…not great. One of the ways they were not great was that I wasn't exposed to a lot of new things, so I didn't have Chinese or Mexican food until I was an adult, not to mention Thai, Middle Eastern, Indian, Japanese, and so on.

So my 20s felt like a decade just full of "holy shit this is amazing" and also a peculiar shame for not knowing such things existed.

It's easy to look at this from the lens of people just wanting power, but maybe it's something akin to the grief, honest grief, I felt about leaving Reddit because I had been there so long as just a user. I can't imagine how it would feel to give up control over something that I had created and curated for many years knowing that it was going to be destroyed.

We all think we're too savvy to fall for stuff like this, and maybe that's true, but I know some technophobes who'd be prime victims for this. I'm interested in discussion about how to prevent this sort of thing from happening beyond just telling Grandpa to never click on ads.

 

In honor of the death of Reddit (I hope), let's harken back to a simpler time, perhaps when we old-timers were migrating from BBS chatting to Slashdot to Reddit. My favorite "oldie" is "The Website Is Down," from 2009-ish. It perfectly captures what IT support is like.

What's your fave?
