       So I never played the game Tomb Raider or even watched the movies, but I would probably checkout a Tomb Raider show if it appeared online (at least for one episode).Earlier Friday, The Hollywood Reporter said that Amazon is developing a TV series based on the Tomb Raider video game franchise with scripts written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. But that’s apparently not all: later in the day, Deadline corroborated the report about the TV series and added that a new Tomb Raider movie is in the works at Amazon Studios, too.Details are light on these new Tomb Raider adaptations, but THR says that while Waller-Bridge will serve as a writer and executive producer on the show, she won’t be starring. The show is apparently still in the development stages, so we probably shouldn’t expect to see it anytime soon. (The Verge)I assume it would probably be as successful as the video games & prior movies.However I think this is Amazon’s attempt at cashing in on video-game-to-show craze that is sweeping the world thanks to HBO’s “The Last Of Us” series which made its debut earlier this month.

       @zakiuem@mk.absturztau.be @gamercat@shota.house @splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network I know Germany 🇩🇪 has invited in foreign workers due to the labor shortage (one of the side effects of a declining population), but I think governments need to figure out why their population is declining & come up with a solution to remedy it.Immigration is one way to solve it, but then the culture of your country will morph into something radically different.I am surprised there is not a massive study looking into the diet of the population, social habits, expensive of starting a family, etcetera. I know in the United States 🇺🇸 they give families tax breaks for every child they have in order to encourage the public to have more kids. Maybe Japan 🇯🇵 could do the same‽

       @raccoon@stereophonic.space @darnell@one.darnell.one @Iconfactory@iconfactory.world Apps are very useful if you operate in an area with sporadic signal or if the signal cuts off while uploading media. From my experience the browser crashes, resulting in data loss (pictures, videos, audio, word documents, etcetera). The app simply waits until signal is restored (sometimes minutes or hours later depending on your location) & sends the info again when it connects. Very useful.That’s why most people usually demand an app instead of just relying on the browser. Sites without an app will gain little attention from the public.

       Okay, so after watching #TheLastOfUS on #HBO, I wondered if #SciFi #zombies (basically a virus, bacteria, etcetera, cause craziness & not a living dead scenario) could occur in humans.According to #science, the answer is yes. At the 10:15 mark of this video mentions a parasitic protozoan that replaces mammels fear of #cats with a love for cats (or at least their scent.https://youtu.be/jM5jf-8ekVAI guess this explains why #Caterday is so popular online (regardless of the social platform used).Although it usually infects mice 🐁, this parasite can affect humans as well, as it wants us to be eaten by cats (even big cats like lions). From #ScienceFiction to science fact. Crazy if you ask me!

       Revolt: The Only Smart Alien Invasion MovieI am a #SciFi guy & one of my favorite genres is #alien invasions. While I do enjoy a good #ScienceFiction movie, most (if not all) of them are conducted by idiotic aliens.Name a movie, & I could probably name why the aliens are stupid (even if I love the movie). Revolt is different in one simple way that is revealed by the trailers.https://youtu.be/IuhgTsDtYK0Instead of using alien soldiers, cybernetic soldiers or even another alien race, these invaders (who you never even see) use expendable, mechanical, robotic drones to wage war against humanity.Destroying a drone is difficult, but not impossible, & it ultimately does not matter as more can be built & shipped off to subdue humanity.As a bonus, there is even an explanation for the “plot armor” (basically a function of the story that illogically keeps the main character alive) too that keeps the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 soldier (stationed in #Kenya 🇰🇪) alive, but I will not reveal it here.I will not spoil most of the story (which some people did not like due to the ending), but I believe this is the most realistic scenario of how aliens would invade Earth.#️⃣ #Movies #Revolt #Africa #War #Fiction

       @Sujiyan@mstdn.jp That’s what Google Translate is for! 👍🏾 I usually copy, select & translate within the MissRirica app, but it would be cool if there was an auto translate feature within the app. Similar to what @ivory@tapbots.social has with Mastodon.I wonder if I can submit a premium feature request to @fruitriin@misskey.io about this‽ Hmm.. #Misskey #Mastodon #MissRirica #Apps #Google #Japan

       According to FediDB it seems as if Misskey has surpassed Peertube to become the 2nd most popular Fediverse software option available (this does not include variants or forks).Congrats @syuilo@misskey.io for all of your hard work & dedication! For those who love Misskey & desire to keep this going, feel free to donate to this fun project.If you are looking for mobile apps for Misskey, I suggest using MissRirica by @fruitriin@misskey.io (available on Android, iPhone and iPad). The app is free but @fruitriin@misskey.systems put time & labor into this app, so if you can please support her via Patreon too!Note: I support both of these projects at $10 & $8 per month, respectively, & I encourage people to support their favorite instance software by donating at least a $1 USD per month.Yes, I love #Misskey!  #Misskey #Software #iPhone #iPad #Android #MissRirica

       Foundation: The Last Empress🚨 🚨 🚨 Spoilers Ahead‼️ 🚨 🚨 🚨 📹 https://youtu.be/2SMfKA-N1uoThe Last Empress was a phenomenal episode whose theme ironically was imprisonment & executions.I do like how Hober Mallow came in to save the day (pun not intended) & how the Empire was shown to be weak during a time of crisis.The backstabbing by one Cleon against another was not surprising, although the look in Demerzel’s eyes reveals a startling truth: she is loyal to the first Cleon—& him alone.That prison, in the end, brings up more questions, which makes me wonder if it was a prison for Demezel & if she has other minions like her around‽ Yes, she says she is the last machine, but that might not be true.I was sad to see the monster meet its noble end. I wish the monster killed Day & then we could see the effects of another clone taking his place.Great episode overall!#️⃣   #Foundation, #Apple, #AppleTV, #SciFi, #ScienceFiction, #Drama, #Space, #Robots, #Aliens, #Spaceships, #TooManyHashTags

       86: A bittersweet SciFi Anime🚨🚨🚨 Spoilers‼️ 🚨🚨🚨 https://youtu.be/VSdS29SDvn4I briefly mentioned 86 on @darnelltv@darnell.tv (regarding killer robots), but 86 (which can be watched on Crunchyroll) is a diamond 💎 in the rough, whose story at best can be described as bittersweet.The story has an “Eastern European” feel to it, & at first glance, it seems as if this is a misplaced drama where robot drones fight other robot drones from rival nations.However, what is revealed is that the Republic of San Magnolia forced those born with colored hair to fight on the front lines against a hostile robot/cybernetic army (you will understand why I call it robot/cybernetic once you progress further through the series).While the silver-haired citizens enjoy the highlights of life, their colored-haired former neighbors are dying awful deaths against a mechanical foe they know little about.This is an emotionally disturbing anime, so I would not recommend children watching it (there is not much gore, but there is a lot of death in the show).Racism & discrimination are significant themes of 86, but it does showcase a redemptive side that is revealed towards the end (you will like it).If you are into serious, political SciFi war dramas, then this anime is definitely for you!#️⃣  #SciFi, #ScienceFiction, #86, #Anime, #Japan, #Robots, #War, #Tech, #Technology, #Politics

       An interesting interview by Real Sound of @syuilo@misskey.io & @AureoleArk@misskey.io about the challenges of running Misskey & their future goals for the project.I posted a summarized version on @darnell@darnell.day, but for those who too busy, here is essence of what I typed.👉🏾 It costs ¥‎2,000,000 (or $13,530) per month to run Misskey (they will reduce that cost to ¥‎500,000 or $3,383 by optimizing the site)👉🏾 Misskey has non-instrusive ads to help pay the bills, but they want to move towards a funding model similar to what Mastodon has done👉🏾 Misskey wants to explore Virtual Reality (VR) in the future. I think they should checkout Counter Social who is one of the few prominent instances who has embraced VRThat’s it! Also I am posting this on Misskey instead of my Mastodon account (over at @darnell@one.darnell.one) as there is more flexibility when it comes to links & characters (I want to keep my Mastodon at 500 characters max for now).#️⃣  #Misskey, #Software, #Tech, #Technology, #Money, #VirtualReality, #VR, #Fediverse

       Dungeon People Is A Delight To WatchWhat I enjoyed most about watching this anime (note: I wish there was a live-action version!) was the twist to the story regarding dungeons. Usually, when a character explores a dungeon, we see it from the adventurer's side.Dungeon People flips the script, focusing on the operational side of things and what it takes to run, operate, and manage a successful (albeit incredibly violent) dungeon.Dungeon People | TrailerWhile this is a light-hearted story about friendship between two women who attempt to run a complex dungeon, it briefly (albeit creatively) addresses some darker elements in fantasy stories, including sexism, violence against women & responding to injustice.In one example, the show resolves the goblin issue, as the latter in fantasy stories typically breed by unsolicited sexual encounters.How to Reproduce Goblins in a Good wayAlso, despite her appearance, dungeon master Bell (her nickname) is no pushover, as this mock fight between Bell and Clay entails. Clay fights Dungeon Master BellOne of my favorite scenes was watching Clay work as a skeleton and take on local adventures (her battle tactics are amazing!).Clay Become Skeleton and Cut through Magic | Dungeon People Episode 2Also, Clay battling a dragon coworker in the training room was fun to watch!Clay versus the Dragon | Dungeon PeopleOverall, Dungeon People is a great show, & you can currently watch it on HiDive right now.#️⃣ #Anime #Fantasy #DungeonPeople
