Old man yells at sky over automated messages for doing a transaction on a system and getting something for free sorta.

1:30 am is not early morning by any definition you hack. 

...hard hitting news from Kotaku err avclub!

Counterpoint: six months to a year+ of pandemic and stimmy money means people want to buy the newest shiny console.

There’s nothing inherently awful about it. Plunkett is just being paid to yell at the clouds.

That has nothing to do with the basis of NFTs, and there are plans to transition away from mining ethereum.

I mean, NASA could be doing these things, but if the only way anyone’s getting the funding is via wealthy sociopath with virtually no oversight who wants to Zapp Brannigan his way to Mars, humanity is probably better off for it even if we all suffer a bit mentally.

A flaming asshole with his butthole eyes on the future!

I like how still no one knows who or what the poster is but is willing to make some sort of assumption that the poster is still telling the truth. Didn't learn the lesson the first time, world?

Counterpoint: do something Kotaku can't, and look into the situation first before posting outrageous. Or, also as Kotaku does, just crib your emotion and research from reddit.

That’s fair, but does the memory of the last two seasons creep into those same thoughts often?

In hindsight, prob shouldn’t have expected much from writers and showrunners whose sole (and admittedly pretty difficult if compared to other attempts at adaptations) job was to turn a super long and detailed book series into a show. Didn’t have to write their own storyline for six seasons, so we were probably dumb to…

Maybe, but if you compare the status of Lost currently to how big it was in the zeitgeist at their time, you’d have to conclude that the run til the end really messed up its stature.

Probably. This isn’t Seinfeld where the ending narrative didn’t matter. People will probably associate Game of Thrones with its terrible end just like people do with Lost (and meandering middle seasons).

“The annual event, in which sitting presidents who are not too big of a baby to attend get to “enjoy” being roasted by celebrity comics, is one of the major social events of the Washington D.C. calendar, but was shuttered last year in deference to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“That reversal means someday the superb storytelling that made up the show’s first six seasons—the very reason it was able to disappoint viewers so much in the final two—will eventually be what fans remember most.”
