  • What is the metric for “greatest sci-fi directors of all time”? It sounds like they’re just comparing the most successful old scifi movies. I have a soft spot for some older sci-fi movies, but most old sci-fi film is incredibly corny and not worth wasting time on.

    The best sci-fi doesn’t come in a single hour and half long film - it comes from season long story archs with several integrating sub plots.
    I know there are a lot of gen-X and older out there that like to argue for the self-contained world of episodic Trek, but that format needs to die. It’s boring.








  • I tend to agree with the sentiment here that we are all the winners for having discovered and are still using kbin, a platform that most wouldn’t have even known about before Reddit’s shenanigans. Though, I want to point out that total user activity on kbin is down 7,000 people since about 10 days ago

    It seems people are either going back, or are abandoning for Lemmy because of their abundance of mobile apps. Artemis is a decent kbin app, and is almost ready to release for public beta now that the API is complete (just waiting on integration) - though I fear it needs to happen sooner than later if we are to retain the userbase.










  • The same will happen with Relay for Reddit soon too. DBrady is still holding open the app, paying the costs for it, so that he can release a subscription model. I love Relay, but I (and I imagine others) won’t pay a subscription for a stripped down version where majority of the $$$ goes to Reddit and not the developer… If he had an option to pay him directly I would consider it though.
