This filmmaker is fighting piracy with piracy.

We’re All Gonna Die director Freddie Wong uploaded the movie to torrent networks with an exclusive intro message, on the same day it was released for digital download. Wong hopes viewers will support future filmmaking efforts by buying a lousy JPEG that proudly proclaims their pirate nature. Yarrr.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist

The image depicts a futuristic spacecraft hovering above a desolate landscape. The spacecraft is large, with a rounded, metallic body and multiple engines, emitting a plume of exhaust. It has a weathered appearance, suggesting it has been in use for some time. The background features a vast, icy terrain with snow-capped mountains under a clear blue sky, with a large, orange-hued celestial body partially visible on the right, possibly a moon or planet. The foreground shows a reddish-orange ground with rocky outcrops and a deep crevasse, contrasting with the white snow in the distance. The overall color palette includes shades of blue, white, orange, and red, creating a striking visual contrast.

in reply to how to do anything

The image features a clear glass bowl containing a light-colored liquid, possibly a homemade remedy or a natural product. The bowl is placed on a dark gray surface, with a textured beige cloth partially visible in the background. To the right of the bowl, there is a branch with small white flowers, adding a natural element to the composition. The liquid in the bowl appears to be slightly cloudy, suggesting it may contain suspended particles. The overall setting is simple and clean, with a focus on the bowl and its contents.
