I convinced him it wouldn’t be worth it because he’d probably be taking antibiotics and anti-rejection meds for the rest of his life. Also, the flight to Japan and the surgery wasn’t in his project budget. Our professor was also skeptical. instead, he made an actual PipBoy out of a 3-D printed model and a disused Android phone.

There was a gigantic backlash over how incredibly shitty the physical pack was, and how buggy the initial game release was. I think this was the first signal for the first generation downfall for Steam. It was the first Harold for the first reckoning, first Steam’s first major downfall in 2015. Thank God, it happened to Steam, and thank God it happened in 2015. If it hadn’t happened to them, and if it hadn’t happened so early, none of us would have survived. Because they know there is no God (really? How stupid do all of you assholes feel now?), and because it happened long enough ago, they have no fear, and a new economy has emerged. Rough times are ahead, but there, thank goodness, is a future. A delicious feature where interspecies queers have even footing, so get used to it you fucking dogmatic prickwads! Jobs are jobs! permalink fedilink source parent

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago It starts to prickle your skin, "watch this short 30 second ad to disable the itch for 30 minutes!" Five minutes later, starts to prickle again. Or: You're talking with your mother about such-and-such, suddenly your shirt starts blaring an obnoxious influencer screaming "HEY LOSER!

[–] borkborkbork@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago* (3 children) nonstop, blinking, endless advertisement space for real. hopefully my ad-blocking glasses will work there too. also - human adverts become the new low rent influencers, with people professionally walking around sticking adverts everywhere permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] homes@piefed.world 3 points 3 months ago* I think we just wrote the plot for the first episode of the next season of Black mirror As long as the episode ends with everyone getting naked permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* People have been paying companies to walk around advertising for them for 4 decades now. 80% of the population walks around with a pesant's undershirt, that has the logo of a multinational corporation on it.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (3 children) Well that was the last episode of the 7th season of Black Mirror. It was called "Common People" Not clothing but worse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] homes@piefed.world 1 point 3 months ago* (2 children) I remember that episode. Not exactly what I’m talking about, and I think it’s different enough that it’s worthwhile exploring in a separate episode. Like Fifteen Million Merits. But you get the idea permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) 15 Million Merits is about being unable to turn away from the advertisements, the cyclist can't even close their eyes too long except during sleep. The advertising in Common people is literally taking over a person's body to advertise to the people around them without their knowledge just cutting off their consciousness for a broadcast of a targeted ad. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] homes@piefed.world 1 point 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) Common people is about having a person’s co-opted, while 15 million merits is about having advertisements involuntarily pushed on a person. I think the idea under discussion here is a fusion of both concepts from opposite perspectives. I’d say it’s worth exploring in its own episode. Contemporaneous perspectives have shifted. As they had when each previous episode was written. That’s what’s particularly cool about black mirror. It’s an organic anthology. Previous concepts get revisited as technological terrors evolve (or our ideas of them do). Edit: spells & grams permalink fedilink source parent
