  • I’ve just gotta get more hard drive space to open it up.

    I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the show Fringe but I love it. Has a lot of Control vibes/flavor but came out years before. There’s an episode of it where a guy is able to sort of ‘predict’ certain events that are about to happen. Some level of precognition. Gets these vividly intense visions of a particular event and has to make it via a diorama or some type of artistic expression. Episode explains what is going on with him and why he can hear it. There are also a few other letters scattered throughout the Bureau that seem to suggest there are some inate abilities in a lot of people. I don’t know if I made this theory or read it in the game but I started to think that there were ‘psykers’ or something that the Bureau were keeping an eye on to be able to detect/notice various anomalies. Wondering if that poor fucker could be one of those.

    Control had me begging for more and, luckily, it gave me more. The game having as many text docs as it does pissed off a few friends but made me ecstatic. SO MUCH LIVING IN THAT WORLD!

    I was sold from the sets. The fact that the fonts and everything looked goddamn identical had me enthralled. When every single camera angle started to make me think of the cinematic killshots or every tiny thing carried over from the games like NPCs that don’t talk to you or clipping into the floor or the deep psychological horror combined with goddamn near whimsy?

    I was fucking stunned. I was watching the pilot with a friend I met here on Lemmy and he can attest to it. I didn’t shut the fuck up the entire time throughout the episode because I kept just cackling. @Robolemmy@lemmy.dbzer0.com can confirm lol




  • Considering the fact that like… I barely talk with anyone from Lemmy? Accurate. I’ll send messages to people because I’m either bored or lonely and we hit it off with some comments or something and everytime the reaction is just “Wait why are you messaging me?” and it’s like “No one ever messages me first.” I don’t know why. I adore it when a user joins lemmy and sees my username, reaches out, and then asks for a couple times. A few people have done that, a few sticking around too like IninewCrow, and it’s one of the few times that I feel like a user too and not just a poster. Was really fucking weird at the start when I was commenting in other peoples posts and having reactions like “STAMETS KNOWS WHO I AM” and like… I do use this website too. So when there’s a dude on Lemmy who I’ve had a good connection with who is going through HELL I’m going to try and use the position that I’ve apparently got to try and help him out just a little bit. Not constantly and not spamming it on every post today, but a couple times to hopefully bring some attention to it and help him out. Even if it’s just a tiny bit then I did something and I can stop hating myself quite as much.


  • Oh I’ve been around on lemmy for a couple years now and trolls like that aren’t exactly a threat. I don’t mean to sound full of myself, but I just post way too often for them to even noticed anymore. I usually get sent screenshots or links on Matrix/Discord like “LOL did you see this?” to which I definitely did not. Was just hard to ignore every single post having a single comment on it, something that isn’t really that typical for Lemmy. Especially not that quickly. I keep an eye on general trends of things. If people don’t like a thing I stop posting the thing. But individual children screaming into the night? Meh. All I see in my head is just a giant filter with [REDDITOR] written over it half the time.

    But.

    Even if I did give the remotest of a shit about a toddler, I don’t care about this circumstance. I post a lot and I made a deal to myself that I’d take two rounds of posting and add in a link to Aeronmelons post. He made it a week ago and didn’t get a ton of attention. That combined with a ko-fi issue meant that things weren’t super awesome for him. So I wanted to boost it again a little bit. Bump the thread. He’s going through hell right now and I went through something similar but far less brutal. I’ll do a lot for my friends and this? Isn’t much. So even if I did care about people getting angry at me on the internet, I don’t care when it means that there is a chance to help him. WELL worth the trade off, as far as I’m concerned. I’d gladly do it again.

    Doing nothing is easier and might make people happier but doesn’t get anything done. If I piss off a few people then oh well. I’m sorry for that. Hope they forgive me. But I’m not sorry I did it. I hope they can understand that, even if they don’t respect or agree with it.
