Runscape fans catching strays 😭
one of the more bizarre things in hindsight is the fact people used to literally get bullied for playing video games. not even the runescape nerds who deserved it, EVERYTHING was off limits for a while where i lived.

imagine being scared ppl find out you play Elden Ring nowadays LOL

This was way more than I expected especially after I took a couple months off gaming.

While I agree with the sentiment, I would not use the term "group think." Undermines your point a bit.
I’ve seen articles written about how Bluesky is becoming a “bubble for the left” in a negative light. No, Bluesky is a place for thinking people to group think, share, fight for democracy and make each other more knowledgeable on things like facts and reality. But please proceed with your clickbait

Bluesky's algorithm definitely said, "This guy likes videogames. Let's put a bunch of people taking pictures of their controllers on his discover feed."

Do I collect controllers? Yes, but that's beside the point.

I agree with much of this thread. The first episode of Skeleton Crew being set in "Star Wars Suburbia" just felt so uninspired to me. A vast galaxy filled with possibility, and this is the best framing device we can come up with?

I understand they are playing on old tropes, but I expect more.
The kids' homeworld looks like suburbia, with standardized tests and manicured lawns and people walking dogs on leashes.

There's a scene in the dark where the kids take out 1980s style D-Cell flashlights. You remember those giant things?

Well Disney hopes you remember them fondly and with longing.

One random thing I like about Bluesky is I haven't seen a single person misuse the phrase "ontologically evil"
