#HACF is TEN FUCKING YEARS OLD

it's a motherfucking decade old!

jfc, my sense of time is like a crusty old tortoise.

I still think of it as a recent show.

Anyway, if you haven't ever seen #HaltAndCatchFire then you haven't seen the best TV show ever made.

You have missed out on art that is intricately numinous, beautifully immanent.

"Halt and Catch Fire" premiered 10 years ago and went on for four seasons and 40 episodes. @polygon's Devan Suber describes how the beloved AMC show understood the draw of video games better than any show that's come before it. "In the words of Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace), the computer was always 'the thing that gets us to the thing,' a vector for connection, expression, or some other deeper human need."

What's happening to Reddit is flipping annoying, as I only discovered it accidentally when I went looking for Ye Olde Internet (where you could, you know, hang out & be human with other humans) after being inspired to do so by the fantastic & still grossly underrated #HaltAndCatchFire & now it's just another lesson in the utter evils of capitalism, why we can't have nice things & most importantly why there's always A Story Underneath.
