c/nerdgeist is a community space dedicated to sharing and discussing anything in the current "nerd zeitgeist". This could be movie casting news, new video game discussions, whacky theories about your favorite franchises, or just about anything that the modern nerdy person would enjoy or want to talk about.

My hope for this channel is that it becomes a hub for people to talk about the things that maybe are a harder to talk about IRL because folks may not have the same interests as you. It's a great feeling when you're pumped about something and you find someone else who is too! Lets make this a space where those feelings happen much more often.

  1. Be respectful - this is meant to be a positive space.
  2. Don't spam content or try to advertise your products or channels.
  3. If something is NSFW, mark as such.
  4. Know the channel will evolve with it's userbase and new rules may be added over time or current ones may be updated updated to help create the best community experience as possible.

It was honestly a perfect combo of the two shows. Many moments had me howling.

This is something I want to do with the channel but am considering waiting till we get at least 1000 subscribers so theres enough people to make the server viable. Before making that decision, Id like to get your feedback!

I am flabbergasted that this actually got made! I loved this game series as a kid and am morbidly curious about a tv adapation.

I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan and finally saw Dial of Destiny last night. Sadly, I didn’t really enjoy it. The deaging was distracting and didn’t add anything to the story and Harrison Ford is honestly too old to be playing Indy anymore. His performance reminded me of Patrick Stewart in Picard - trying so hard to reach the quality of his former iconic character but not having the ability anymore to do it successfully. I also expected more from Mangold. Logan was such a high quality movie that I assumed everything Mangold would do after would be top tier but this movie kinda proves that Disney’s army of producers can ruin any talented directors work and there’s no reason to get excited about a specific director if Disney is involved.

What did y’all think of Dial of Destiny? Do you feel similar or are my opinions off base?

Seems like a solid first season! I’m most excited for the story - it’s described as a stand-alone tale instead of a direct continuation of the campaign. It will deal somewhat with the fallout of Inarius’ death and what’s going on with the Cathedral of Light now. This will certainly be a treat for us lore-nerds.

Anyone else gonna be starting the season day 1?

Felt like a neat add on to TOS but probably my least favorite of the season so far even tho I did like it.

I’m still pretty lukewarm on the Pike/Batel relationship. The reunion at the end didn’t feel very earned. Would be nice to get some more time with those two so I can get why I’m supposed to like them as a couple.

My partner and I just started it and are about 6 episodes in and it’s honestly pretty interesting. It has some YA novel feeling issues but it overall seems like a well done show.

I like how the showrunners are able to have all the characters talk to and treat younger people in the show like they’re normal adults/people. There’s no talking down or disregarding them because of their age. The one time where someone tried that (when the aeronaut met Lyra) the notion got shot down immediately. Is that an aspect in the books as well? Seems like a refreshing choice.

Maybe more to do with the non-sensical story and the final act turning into a kaiju attack lol

Okay this is pretty cool…

Between this and the King of the Hill revival, older animation loving millennials are eating gooood.

Inaugural Post (self.nerdgeist)

Hey all!

I started this community and wanted to kick things off with an inaugural post! Much appreciation to anyone who is checking out this channel. This is meant to be an inclusive and fun group so if you like what you see, subscribe to the channel and join in the conversation!

I'd love to hear what folks have been playing/reading/watching lately. For me, I've been having a blast with Diablo 4, so much so that I finished the campaign and decided to go back to the very beginning and play Diablo 1. The main nerdy show's I'm watching are Silo and Strange New Worlds. Im liking Silo but hope season 2 steps up the writing. SNW is top notch like it has been since it started. As far as reading, I'm in the middle of Tom King's Supergirl series and have been enjoying it greatly.

Looking forward to building with you, Clark.
