@mayintoronto I joined a few years ago because Mastodon sounded like it might provide an experience similar to what I missed about Twitter.
I stayed for #Monsterdon
(Also because a few VIPs for tech I use are active here, but that's a minor part of it.)

Perhaps not the worst #Monsterdon movie but definitely the biggest all-around disappointment, in my book - all the wrong people got killed and it doesn't even make sense who did it

Too bad I missed the original #House but it was nice to catch most of #House2. Which was weird and entertaining and had exactly the kind of vibe I have come to expect from #Monsterdon/#MonsterdonDoubleFeature. Good times.
Thanks @ryan for the stream!

@strangefour it's the #Monsterdon effect all over again

@combatwombat @klu9 mine too
I did not know at the time what a treasure I was experiencing

@strangefour Yeah I mean the bar for "good by our standards" in this context is still extremely low 😛

@kshernandez I suppose if the lifeform needs to exist as some configuration of matter or other real stuff, and that stuff just doesn't count as a "body" in the traditional sense, then it could be vaporized or whatever
If not... idk you could make up any definition of death you want
