What I mean is like, what do you think is unironically awesome, even if people now think its cringe or stupid?
I was an early adopter of No Man’s Sky (long before the shift in public perception), and I fucking loved it back then, and love it now as well. But admitting that in public a few years back was tantamount to saying that stapling your child to a rabid badger was a great alternative to hiring a babysitter.
Speed Racer (2008)
Uniquely colorful, silly, wholesome, every single one of its frames oozes style and creativity. It’s exactly what an animated adaptation should aim to be and will forever stand out against the blue and orange, brown and bloom palettes that plagued that era of media.
It’s simply so visually exciting and fun.
Sonic The Hedgehog
AMD > Nvidia
There’s simply no reason why a GPU should have proprietary drivers, when that is a core, basically inseparable part of a computer. You literally NEED one to see what you’re doing with your computer (yes, integrated graphics also count).
I mean, imagine if your sound card had proprietary drivers. The world would go nuts.
Printers should not need drivers anymore. There should have been a standard protocol for them by now.
Ohh people are aren’t going to like this
AI coding, “vibe coding”
Vibe coding has a niche, which is people who can read, understand, and debug code, but can’t remember the syntax or can’t be arsed to write everything manually. It’s good for blocking in right now, basically, and that’s an entirely valid use of the technology
Modern magic. We tricked crystals into thinking by drugging them and zapping them with electricity. Then we used those crystals to trick matricies into hallucinating by forcing them to guess the answer to math questions and smacking them when they get it wrong and kept doing that until they get it right. Ethics and hype aside, it’s pretty fucking wild.
What?
They’re talking about computer chips. We dug up rocks, melted them down, and extracted the parts we wanted. Then we engraved arcane and imperceptible runes on and inside of them, using an extremely expensive and delicate process. Then we trapped lightning inside of them, and told them to show us videos of cats.
The Force AwakensThe Last Jedi was the freshest and most creative star wars movie since Empire and Rian Johnson is a hero for trying to take the franchise in a new directionOoh that is one I vehemently disagree with lol. It was a ok movie if it was its own thing, but it wasn’t a good star wars movie, it was worse for being in the sequel trilogy as opposed to a stand alone star wars movie, and it was even worse for being the middle of that trilogy. The more context you add the worse it is imo
