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.

Rules

  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.

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.

Patient gamers rise up! Haha.

I am a big trekkie so it’s nice seeing more people join the party. I think you’re in for a treat because, no offense to the older stuff, I think the TNG era that you’re approaching is the gold standard for Star Trek. Camp is fun but I’ll take a Picard speech and competence porn all day lol

I also LOVE Godzilla movies! What’s your favorite era after watching them all?

Gotta say Heisei era, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) is one of my favorite movies, it is so incredibly hilarious.

You are a man of class, sir! I think that’s my favorite era too. It has all the goofiness of the old movies but with this Saturday morning cartoon action vibe that I totally appreciate. I also really like the 2014 Godzilla movie because of how they treat him like a force of nature. Oh and that parachute scene is one of the best cinematic moments of all time in my book!

You're so right, and they've also got a more tongue in cheek satire tone that walked so Shin Godzilla could run. Not the best Godzilla movie, weird choices made with the monster itself, but damn good satire work and cinematography to perfectly match the tone.
