Human curiosity is only surpassed by the human need to be correct.
Considering how comedically wrong people have been about dinosaurs in the past, I find it hard to believe that we had it exactly right in the 90s, and even less so now, with how corrupt the cathedral has become.
Personally, I think it's less important how accurate our understanding of Dinosaurs is, and more important how cool our cultural understanding of them turned out to be. I'll take a rad fantasy over "Ha ha, they're a bunch of dumb birds, you idiot!" any day. It's all academic in the end anyway, until someone actually gets Jurassic Park up and running.
If aliens exist, they exist. If they don't, they don't. That's kind of the long and short of it. Not really anything to get excited about with such vague info from untrustworthy sources.
Personally, I do believe there is more life out there, but that's due to my philosophies on why life exists moreso than any hard proof.
...For what purpose? What does that even add? That's like Megamind and his 56 life sentences.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of other people's actions."
Said other people can sit and spin, but I'm not supporting insanity just because it might have a splashback on the insane.
What, can't be bothered to start saving peoples' lives immediately? Gotta wait half a week to mentally prepare or something? What a joke.
Anyone who's ever read the Bible knows that "God's Chosen People" went astray like clockwork and consistently needed metaphorical slaps upside the head by The Big Man to put them back onto the right path.
In this cycle, Elon will be playing the role of the Prophet of God (lol) calling them out on their bad behavior. I really hope things turn around before we get dragged into the Conquered by Philistines/Exiled to Babylon phase....
On the one hand, I'm glad none of my favorite numbers made the list. On the other hand, I'm a little disappointed none of my favorite numbers made the list.
I've told this story before, but three of my siblings were adopted from an abusive home. They've all got serious issues because of how they were treated, but my parents had to fight the courts for years before they were willing to take custody from the psycho mother. Because obviously the biological mother is better, even if she's a neglectful abuser.
Of course, two of them are sisters, so Imp would probably approve of them being abused anyway.
Everything we do is Reprehensible. Everything they do is Different.
Even though I know this to be true, it's still exhausting to deal with.... It drives me up the wall how blatant they are in their hypocrisy and how little anyone cares about it.
I'm watching my cousin play it right now. It's giving me real SMRPG meets Chrono Trigger vibes. Timed Hits, smooth battle transitions, teamwork attacks. It's got it all.
I'm reminded of Something Truly Evil from World of Horror, once it has you in it's sights, all you can hope to do is persist long enough for it to get bored with you, or die.
I've reached the point I assume everyone is lying to me except for people I personally know and trust. There's no benefit in telling the truth and all the benefit in manipulative lies.
I'm lucky. I can remote work and my boss is also anti-gene therapy, so it may not even come to that. But I am worried about what we're in for in the coming year....
It's always hilarious to see how offended the gods become when you point out their wrongdoings and show they're even worse than the mortals they look down on. Arachne was GodsOfTikTok and got turned into a spider for it. And yet somehow, people keep interpreting Athena as the right one in that story. Go figure.
#ArachneDidNothingWrong
Pretty sure The Patriots as outlined by Fake Colonel are more relevant than ever. And I've never even played Metal Gear.
I guess you could say that we're all...
Correct.
I think they handled Peach as tactfully as they could in the current year, but it really wasn't great, and she and Luigi should have swapped roles, no question.
You see this all over the place, though. Attraction to and reliance on a guy is no longer allowed to be a motivator for major female characters anymore. Amy doesn't have any personality anymore in recent games because they've completely removed her crush on Sonic. She's just there because we gotta have the girl-appeal character. We don't get Sonic being flustered and off his game, having to put up with her trying to tie him down. We don't get Amy pushing herself to keep up with and impress him. She's just the generic girl hero who tags along because reasons.
The thing they don't seem to comprehend is that we EXPECT "Public Enemy No. 1" to have a billion "charges."
I mean "Trying their hardest to make the art style look as true to life as possible." That is what I'm decrying here. And again, I'm not saying it's all bad, but the more "grounded" you make the game, the more effort goes into all the nitty-gritty detail, and the less goes into making something that's actually fun to play.
This is precisely why I despise realism in games. I play games to go to fantastic places, do interesting things, and become something different then I already am. They're so obsessed with recreating the real world, when I'm here to go anywhere else.
That's not to say you can't have realistic games that do interesting things and have interesting places. But it definitely makes the developers have to work that much harder on the setting and characters.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, as they say. It's not like these are the only movies to exist, anyway. This is the same kind of nonsense as complaining that every fast food joint has their own kind of chicken sandwich.
It's easier if the appliance is anthropomorphized enough. I found myself thanking my roommate's smart lights for a while, just because I was used to thanking people for doing stuff for me. And that was just a voice.
I like some of his reviews, but every time he gets opinionated on something that isn't the craft of filmmaking, I find myself rolling my eyes.
As another aspiring indie dev, best of luck to you!
Anyone who would actively throw out the canon of the material they're adapting never cared about the material in the first place. Change my mind.
