I'll also be playing NMS. 250 hours and counting...

Was that the one off Argentina? Had forgotten about that - could've put it in my post! More evidence it's the uncertainty that drives public engagement.

I don't think it was even that it was rich people.

We recently had the mystery disappearance of Nicola Bulley in the UK that got huge media attention because everyone was playing detective; we've had similar media frenzy over the Chilean miners, the Thai footballers in the cave, the RAF lad who disappeared on a night out (it's thought he climbed into an industrial bin)...

The common thread is that everyone can speculate on whether the subjects will survive or not. 'Migrant boats sinks' stories are focused on too many nameless people and the outcome is too easily predicted for a media frenzy and workplace discussions. People love a bit of speculation.

Fear and Trembling by Gang of Youths is equal parts piano led indie, Americana, rock and a bit of punk/emo in the chrous. It also prefaces what is an incredible album.

Bon Iver's 22, A Million is a synth industrial indie folk rock album that I find hard to fit into a genre.

I called this a few weeks ago on reddit and people weren't impressed with my negativity.

I'm sorry, but you can't start a website with:

Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform.

And expect 95% of people to do anything other than close the window.

I think we should sell Partey to Saudi and then go all in on Tchouameni. Shed the drama and sign another wonderkid.

I haven't been back to Reddit since they nuked the apps. I like to think it's a total graveyard.

Unless I'm winning, in which case everyone should know it.

I've put my wefwef link in place of my RiF icon and often expect RiF to open when I mindlessly tap it. Just discovered Connect though, which seems like a decent app too.

You make it sound like it isn't already a weekly pilgrimage?!

Aldi's beef mega hoops taste like beef Monster Munch and have better texture.

Because you asked.
