@ds I still haven't really watched past the first 40 minutes, it starts REALLY slowly and my brain was too cocomelon to have any more patience at the time. I'll probably come back to it

@doskel yeah for me it started off strong and then kind of fell over into a really awkward black mirror anthology episode in the second act and the third act at least tried but couldn't really save it.
also I had to see a cat centaur ejaculate confetti from its CGI penis and that immediately dropped my rating by at least half a star

@doskel really? I also watched it earlier and didn't like it, curious to hear why you did

anyway I'm watching blade runner for the first time (the final cut specifically) and this is such a funny thing to see now that's in the past. buddy the only thing anyone was doing in LA in 2019 was getting stuck in traffic

ok it's a reprint of a rerelease from 2010 that was itself a reprint of a collector's edition release from 2007 that included the movie along with a whole bunch of bonus features on other discs. gee this is confusing
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
popped in this bluray of blade runner just to check it out and it immediately started. zero menus or ads. I guess it is a reprint of a very early release but it's still crazy to see

@hi_cial fun fact! the gui on this thing is open source, still occasionally gets updates, and can be installed on most linux distributions as its own desktop environment if you really wanted to. there's even a special version of fedora that uses it by default and is meant to be installed on a USB drive

being aspec is always a bit confusing at best because it's kind of being queer but in the other direction. like it isn't radical forms of romance/sexuality/gender but instead wanting to back off from that kind of thing or just not feeling it in the first place

@rpgwaiter @ptrc aspec (aromantic/asexual/agender spectrum) stuff is an entire interesting rabbit hole of "what do people do if they don't even want to be a part of this or only really want just a little" and it's super overlooked because we're kind of queer in the other direction

@rpgwaiter @ptrc as someone who is aromantic (on top of sex-repulsed asexual) I can't say that I'm qualified for this but AFAIK romance is basically when you find someone attractive and you're just like "I need to be with this person forever" or something like that as opposed to friendship where you're independent but like to hang out and do stuff together.
there's also the secret third thing: queerplatonic relationships. that's basically being extremely friends with someone but not traditionally attracted to each other so you kind of end up between the two
