  • Just got out of it. I believe I enjoyed it. It definitely felt like it’s own thing, while still being very recognizable to anyone who knows the “source material” if you can call it that.

    I think it also was able to avoid most of the baggage the whole backrooms/liminal space memes have at this point. That being said…

    Spoiler

    I think I was enjoying the film way more before it became a mental health allegory. I don’t know where else they could have taken the story, but I really enjoyed how much the backrooms “clashed” with reality.

    Making it a less “real” space made it kind of predictable. But I admit it’s a nitpick.

    I am very torn on the pirate monster. On one hand, I’m happy there was something there so “creepypasta”. I immediately thought of Candle Cove, and Channel Zero, which I think is a good thing.

    But on the other hand, it is a giant spooky pirate.

    I have /e/os. I decided on that pretty early on in my degoogling journey. Main reason being that I believe any privacy venture will come with tradeoffs, but I went with the “most things will work” approach. They have this neat privacy manager that tells you which trackers come from where, and I think that covers my needs. There has been exactly zero apps that haven’t worked so far, and most people that use my phone just think it’s a standard pixel.

    The app lounge kind of blows though. I use the F-Droid app for updating F-Droid apps instead of it, since there was some weird stuff about where they were getting open source apps from. I use it for the play store, and it does what it needs to, although there is some weirdness with it like not being able to tell which apps have recently updated and when. I like the idea of joining app repositories together, but it needs work.
