Have a great day!

 

This one's for my Daughter: KPOP Demon Hunters is coming to theaters

 

The universe is stalking me I swear......never even heard of this movie before until this weekend when my daughter and her BFF were having a playdate and her family put it on. My daughter was instantly whisked away to the land of enchantment and was 100% completely enveloped the whole time. TBF it wasn't even a half bad kid flick AND it's blatantly obvious several of the people from the team who did the animated SPIDERVERSE movies worked on it so I was dialed in (I am very much a fan of that style of animation, so shiny). This all had a point originally, OH yeah-- So up until Sunday I had NEVER heard of this movie and then we watch it.....then last night we rewatch it (as people with kids tend to do haha) and now.....today..... there's this article on SUPERHEROHYPE, why a lovely lovely coincidence. It's typically not my style to post about stuff outside my sphere of interest but what can I say... I love my babygirl and this article is dedicated to anybody who would want take their kid to see it on the bigscreen

UNDERSTANDING INCEPTION: a haphazarrd MINI-essay

I both love and hate it when my mind becomes fixated on something......it can be a gift and a curse, case in point: What you're about to read. I love the movie inception and yesterday I rewatched it for the first time in a long time. Now one of my favorite things about a Chris Nolan flick is that on each subsequent viewing you tend to notice more and more inane detail to a perfectly crafted narrative and this movie is NO EXCEPTION. So years ago I came across an infographic that explained all the layers to the dreams in a coherent and easy to follow visual, so naturally I headed to google to do some sleuthing and FOUND IT! after much thinking and a little editorial help from AI (I can admit my grammar and structure are lacking at times......you've read the stuff I write, it's no secret) I came up with what turned out to be a little essay on the topic, CONTINUE READING to know more.

COSMIC BOOZE: Chemist create a 'Super Alcohol' in Space-Like conditions

 "Scientists have synthesized methanetetrol, an elusive alcohol that could be the foundation of alien life."

Now I don't know about you, but THAT'S exactly how you start off an article. It POPs enough and is guaranteed to capture attention. I just picture some aliens getting Cosmically WHITE GIRL WASTED. haha. Apparently though, scientists are doing what scientists do and F**ked around (Which always but inevitably leads to finding out) and this was the result.....a wonderous, witty, drunken result.

By all means, please.....Continue reading for more!

Just checking in..... Will resume blog posting tomorrow

 

I’m not dead and here’s proof: Spider-Man set photo

 

That’s right! Back from vacation and itching to post more :-)

So here’s a photo from the set of the new SM film- BRAND NEW DAY

Check on your GenX-er, it’s been a rough week. RIP

First off F*UCK HULK HOGAN, not the character but the person portraying him. Nostalgia glasses are heavy this week but the dude was a giant doosh canoe. Ok, back to being respectful……

That being said……. Because our reputations precede us let’s take a guess at the integrity and character and impact of two legends we lost this week. While one is adored, respect, and genuinely missed the other is ridiculed lampooned and reminded of their bigoted behavior. Can’t you spot the differences? Which is which?

Cheers to all you Droogs out there

 

How exciting! DAkkPOSTING today :-)

 I am proud to share with you my FIRST solar project. By any metric it is absolutely nothing to write home about but to ME in just the beginning, the ground floor. MY favorite thing about doing silly projects is imagining, executing, failing, learning and growing with the expanding and refining on the concepts at hand. You always learn a lot of the journey and failure is a part of the eventual success. ALL THAT TO SAY THIS-- I completed my first solar project and the scalability potential is uncapped! Today it is just some lighting for my kids playhouse, tomorrow lighting for MY HOUSE. 

But nonetheless I have accomplished a small feat. A like with all small steps they eventually add up to a big journey. The ENDGAME on my journey is discovery is partial or total electrical grid self-sustainability. So who knows....in the future I may refer back to this day as I'm saving money and helping the environment.

Dakk Rekommends: PALworld

 In case you haven't been following my stream (which to be fair, unless you're one of like 20 people I'd say this applies to you by default) 

I've been going pretty HARD on PALWORLD now for about 2 weeks and I gotta say... I LOVE IT. It's fun and refreshing and exciting. A nice mixture of survival meets pokemon. I had a few minutes this morning and decided to give it a little review, no big deal, but that's all. I also noticed that MORTAL KOMBAT II has a trailer out so be prepared for a REAKT video on that probably later today. Have a good one! 

The grind is defintiely real as with any survival game. But overall for $30 I'd Absolutely recommend checking it out! Might even be free on GAME PASS. Here's my Review since I just decided I should probably ACTUALLY rate it:

-Fun: 10/10

-Replay Value: 8/10 *The best part is thast the game with drastically change as it moves from open beta to full release

-Game Mechanics: 9/10 - Not clunky, feels pretty streamlined, no issues other than glitches/crashes

-Story: ummmmmmmm........... There really ISN'T one yet, I'm too lazy to read and find all the diary entries so I'd say just watch a youtbue video on it if you're curious

OVERALL: I'd say a solid 8.5/10 with no where left to go but up!

Emergency post: EPSTEIN meme round-up

 The Memes are getting too good to pass up. Sorry but not sorry…… 

It is alarming how this whole debacle is shaking out…… at best gross incompetence and colossal negligence are the main culprits. At worst…. Yet another example that those in charge are sinister and nefarious

COSMOSposting for your soul: A few nifty space articles

 

Space........... The Final frontier. Join us as we discover a few friggin wicked cool articles about some recent news pertaining to the complex and creative composure of chaos known as the COSMOS (alliteration ftw baybay). Originally this article started off as just one topic but as I was surfing I found a few more things to add in...... Today here's what we got

-Mapping Space with super detailed precision

-Mapping water on the moon, because apparently that's a thing!

-Nevermind a GIANT'S EYE (that's soooo 300 years ago) are we inside of a Black Hole? find out!

Happy Independence Day

 

Have fun at work tomorrow ENGLAND

 

Dakk Reakts to: Project Hail Mary

 

That's right folks! Ryan Gosling back with more cinema gold for your daily life and double bonus-- This one is a SCI-FI flick. When I was watching this trailer I got major Interstellar/ The Martian vibes and upon doing research, turns out this is based off a book and the author of that book.....wrote THE MARTIAN (so the vibe check tracks). Apparently this trailer spoils a MAJOR twist of the book so be warned if that's a dealbreaker. I already saw it and found out after the fact but honestly it makes sense because even in my reakt video I said watch THIS be the majority of the movie and the astronaut lost in space trying to save the world is like the first 30mins. ANYWHO, got super excited when I randomly scrolled across this, got double excited when I watched the trailer and now I'm uber excited for this movie next year (why does it have to be so far away)

Ernest is getting a documentary, Know what I mean Vern

 

Came across this gem of a documentary coming out…… If you grew up in the 80s,90s, and I'd even wager.....the early 2000s then you grew up with this slapstick gem. If you have no idea who this is well, lemme be the one to put you onto an absurd and wholesome gem-- ERNEST P. WORRELL, a wonderfully lighthearted and heartfelt ridiculous character created by Jim Varney. Maybe this documentary will be your introduction into yet another human being we lost FAR too early (F*** you cancer)

Dakk Recommends: Lost River

Today Im going to talk about a pretty weird and wild indie movie called Lost River. It has a star studded cast, a wicked soundtrack, and it was shot in my homestate of Michigan........also it is DIRECTED BY none of than RYAN GOSLING!    (applause). I was streaming on twitch last night and we got onto the topic of this movie, can't remember how off hand, but I decided to do a little shout to it. This movie is severely underappreciated so I try to promote it as much as I can. CONTINUE READING for my soapboxing

June's MEME ROUND-UP is here!

 Who am I ???? 

I haven't done one of these in quite a while and I simply CANNOT have it! without further ado:

Kickin it off with some OC I made after scrolling instagram

 This is too big to be coy about…..or dance around

We are getting a SPACE BALLS sequel! 

Seemingly out of friggin NOWHERE this bombshell dropped today and boy the internet isa BUZZING! MY man Mel Brooks is like 98 and still banging em out! It's quite impressive, but not only THAT but RICK MORANIS is coming out of retirement to reprise his role which is freaking uber EPIC. I mean this is just feel-good news in my book, Space Balls has ALWAYS had a special place in my heart, along with MANY Mel Brooks films. I love spoofs, I love Star Wars, I love John Candy, and this movie has all of that and more! I can keepp rambling and talking in circles but the fact of the matter is that it's REALLY happening! 

(Ok this photo MAY be from a Bruce Cambell fanpage but whose to say it isn't true dangit!

This is a tribute to LAIKA, the Brave space pioneer and Sacrificial lamb for Human Innovation

 Even though her Launch was in November, I always take a quiet moment to remember Laika and her "sacrifice" for humanity randomly. I saw this post on a facebook page so naturally it drudged up all sorts of feelings on the topic of ethics in science and where to draw the line. This is a prime example of why science needs a leash-- if left unchecked we can rationalize all sorts of horrors for 'THE GREATER GOOD'

It’s been 67 years since she was sent into space. Not many talk about it now, but I think we should. Not because I’m a scientist or anything like that, but because it still matters.... (CONTINUE READING FOR THE ENTIRE QUOTE as well as our tribute to e good doggo)

Feeling Nostalgic, had an itch....decided to Edit old backpacking footage

 

I don't know what it is lately and I'm not complaining, maybe it's all of the sorting of chaos I've been doing in my head or maybe it's just a sudden strike inspiration. DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE. I just know that I've been bitten by the creative bug again lately (which feels nice if I'm being honest) and I'm going to let it take me where it needs to go. It's funny, over the last few years I've ben getting bummed about how my artistic eye is dying and how I have writer's block but with the new journey I'm on, time is allowing me to recover and reinvigorate myself. 

TLDR: I got inspired last night and started editing two videos, the first one I forgot to save and my editing software FROZE on me, so I lost that (man it was a bummer, I was 3/4 of the way doen and it wasn't half bad imo) BUT I did start on another and that carried me over to this mornign where I finished it up....so here we are...

Interesting ESSAY on a very interesting film. Worth a mention.

 

Title says it all so don't need to add much. I should mention that I have only seen this movie twice and it wasn't really my cup of tea but lately I've been revisiting films with a less than critical/more philosophical eye so after watching this video I have decided to sit down at some point in the next few weeks and give it a rewatch with this perspective in mind. Life is about growth after all
