  • As far as I’m concerned, this is Maxey’s team now. I don’t think Embiid is ever getting back to his regular form and will just start to fade away. Even if he gets back to playing, the constant injuries will prevent him from getting any form of consistency and his playing time will eternally be for ramping up only to get sidelined again, then repeat.

    The Mammoth for Mastodon app has curated smart lists and a For You feed. It can also suggest people to follow based on your interests. I think that’s an easier way to get new users started vs importing a csv file which the average internet user will be too lazy to do.







  • This is what I commented on the other show/movies community:

    Well it does feel like a TV series alright. The sets look cheap and lots of enclosed spaces instead of the expansive and “everything is huge” feel of the movies. That’s understandable though, since this is obviously not a movie with a movie budget. That aside, the older cast are great, but I’m not impressed with the younger cast yet, as with most shows with new, young actors. The full blown exposition in the first 10 minutes was a bad sign for me, because they’re leaning on tell-don’t-show. I know they have a lot of info to get through as a background, but the films were able to do that without just narrating everything. All the more for a series that has more than double the runtime in total.

    I read the Frank books but not the Brian ones, so I’m going in blind except for the info I already know from the original books. So let’s see, we’re just in the first episode. I’m looking forward to the next one and hopefully it picks up.
