There should be a way to see the content from different communities with the same name but from different instances in the same page, like some sort of automatic multireddit. The content would probably be limited to instances federated with your home instance but even then it's something I would like to have.

Not thinking?

It looks very promising for sure. I'm more excited for Paralives personally, but either way I'm glad to finally see some actual competition for The Sims.

I've heard the author feels unfulfilled by Spy X Family because it isn't a story he actually wanted to tell but instead one he thought would be popular (which is understandable given how quickly unpopular mangas can be cancelled). It's been very successful which is great for them but it also has to sting a little knowing how some of his peers have reached similar success with very weird and personal stories like Chainsaw Man and Dandadan.

Here's the quote, for those like me who had never heard of it:

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."

Yes, that's the one! Now I guess I have to watch Kung Pow as well.

That movie rules. Shaolin Soccer is also pretty good.

Last thing I heard was that the soundtrack is being made by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. It's the next best thing, if you ask me.
