  • No actor/actress should have their pool of potential roles made vanishingly small because of a thing they can’t change, the colour of their skin! And then on top of there being very few roles for people of colour in western pop culture based on your criteria, the very few roles they COULD take are often ALSO given to white actors/actresses in bizarre acts of whitewashing idiocy! It’s infuriating! Talent, passion, skill, training, these should be the kinds of factors involved when choosing who gets cast for what role, not where you fall on the colour wheel! It’s just crazy to me that it’s even a consideration at all and in future people will look back and be incredulous that it ever was!? At least I hope that will be the case, as we are making slow progress in that direction.







  • I don’t understand this device AT ALL?! Unless it’s suuuuper cheap there’s nothing it offers over simply pairing a DualSense controller to a phone or tablet?! Add to that the awkwardness of your hands HAVING to be a foot apart to hold the controller halves and it’s just mystifying why anyone would want this??

    At the moment I can chuck a DualSense in my backpack and know that I can pair it to my phone when out and about. Two things I already have that work just fine and are arguably more comfortable to use. I would hope this is going to provide a better streaming experience but what I currently use is good enough for occasional use and my phone isn’t even a high end phone.



  • I’ve moved from Twitter to Mastodon and Reddit to Lemmy and am so far loving both. Even though they’re taking a bit to get used to they’re mostly pretty straight forward and familiar feeling in how they work. I will definitely miss certain subreddits but many of them are already here in some form or in the process of moving over. I really love the distributed model that is not at the behest of a single corporate entity or billionaire.
