  • You know, I was actually wondering about that recently. I watched The Thing in 4K and I sort of regreted it; I loved the movie, but I can only imagine how much better of an experience it would’ve been to watch it on VHS back in the day.

    Tried looking for some kind of video player or something that could emulate the look of VHS (not unlike shaders like CRT Royale do for retro games), but couldn’t find anything.

    If anyone knows about something like this, let me know.




  • You can acknowledge that he was racist and still appreciate his work/reference him.

    Separating the art from the artist doesn’t make you complicit in their shitty opinions; there’s still a lot to get out of Lovecraft’s stories, he’s one of the core pillars of modern horror after all, his influence is inescapable. You could argue it’s a different story when it comes to living artists/celebrities, since you are in some way contributing to their success, but Lovecraft is long dead, his work is literally so old it’s public domain lol, you’re good.

    I’ve personally been reading many of his stories lately for inspiration, and it’s been very enriching. You have to keep an eye on the racist overtones of some of them, but as long as you do I don’t see the issue.



  • Honest question, is this image really supposed to this small?

    It’s only 250x169 on my end, and I can’t find a way to enlarge it. Been happening to me a lot on Kbin, I can’t tell if I’m missing something, if people really are posting tiny images, or if it’s a bug of some kind?



  • I sometimes really wonder if Macron is saying this dumb shit on purpose. It’s insane how consistently he chooses the worst possible takes, it’s really like he’s trying his hardest to tank his own polls.

    Le Pen would effortlessly crush him if elections were held today, and that terrifies me.
