Well I failed. No daily alcohol, rarely play games and my step count is clearly higher.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Speaker Johnson Comes Out Against Midcycle Redistricting … When Dems Do It5·10 days agoI had a comment about Calvinball I was going to make… but I can’t recall the topic of the article I read years ago anymore that mentioned it.
🤦♂️ Biological sex.
All genders?
These really should be called sex reveals.
But how did you get a coconut in Europe?
Trantiveness is me.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•Grand Theft Auto Games 'At Risk' From Being Pulled From Sale Ahead Of GTA 6English2·23 days agoUm… aren’t age ratings supposed to restrict sales in the first place?
You were describing the plot of “Caretaker”, the pilot of Star Trek: Voyager.
An alien abducts ships from one part of the galaxy to this side of the galaxy. Why? Because they are dying and are looking for a compatible mate. Unable to do so, they destroy the device that brought them there (at the wish of The Caretaker) to protect another alien species. So they get stranded 30,000 light years from Earth.
But you are incompatible and now stuck 30,000 light years from Earth.
I never imagined I’d be meeting the man who invented the warp drive.

It may not seem obvious but “Miss Atomic Bomb” is intentionally a sequel. The music video even tells a story that is a continuation of the “Mr. Brightside” video, with Izabella Miko and Eric Roberts reprising their roles.

EDIT: The tracks on the single for “The End Is the Beginning Is the End” are all alternate versions.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are songs that act like a prequel or a sequel to their more popular songs?7·26 days agoThe Smashing Pumpkins- “1979” and “Perfect”.
People said “Perfect” sounded so much like “1979” that the music video was intentionally made to be a sequel to the latter.
EDIT: The Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band. If you can find a copy of Greatest Hits Video Collection (1991–2000) (a DVD collection of music videos and other goodies; acted as a companion to Rotten Apples), I recommend it. There is extensive audio commentary on the videos. For example, Stéphane Sednaoui who directed “Today”, claimed to had never listen to the song before the first day of filming. “1979” in particular had master tapes got destroyed after someone left them on the roof of their car, so the entire video had to be re-shot. “Perfect” commentary, Corgan makes the connection to the similarities with “1979”; all but one of the original teenage actors from the first video returned. There is a short film version of “Try” that featured a different ending to “Try, Try, Try”. A few live recordings are included, among them “Fuck You (An Ode to No One)” from the final Metro show when they broke up and “Geek USA” (a special mix that utilized maximum volume on the audio system).

After that you should have left when fake music was discovered. Seriously, they have lots of fake music.
Remember when Discovery would give away 3D glasses at Discovery Stores leading up to Shark Week so you could watch special 3D programming?

Ironically I saw this ad last night.
