Yeah I watched this one a while back -- it has all the problems everyone else already mentioned, but the tech shows promise.
I think Exile Protocol and Psyop Anime's projects are better representation of using AI tools to create something more cohesive..
...but the general gist is that the tools are getting good enough that in the hands of someone with actual filmmaking talent (or gaming talent) you can streamline a workflow to make something on par with Hollywood, with a few thousand quid.
I think one filmmaker spent about £2,500 to make a feature length film.
We're still in the burgeoning AI slop phase, but it's slowly trending better as the tools and workflows improve.
I think we'll start seeing AI consumption overtake traditional streaming media and Hollywood in about three years, barring any legislative acts to curbstomp opensource AI initiatives.
For as far as I can recall, Rorschach seems to be the start of this trend in popular media -- I'm sure it may have happened in a previous novel or film (I suppose an argument could be made for Albert Camus' Meursault in The Stranger, but I don't ever hear anyone talk about that in broader circles).
...But Moore is the first author I know of who went on record basically admitting he tried to make Rorschach a parody of Conservatism, but he just ended up making him based... and right.
Exactly. It's kind of like this in a lot of media -- American History X is another. They really wanted you to root against him until he turned "colourblind", but anyone paying attention would recognise he was right about his beliefs and the facts!
They also tried portraying Scott Glenn's character as evil in Deadly Exeuction Cop/Extreme Justice, throwing in the swerve near the end to undermine how his team was actually getting results on the streets. It's funny because it made Lou Diamond Philips' character come across as a proto-woke warrior as the film went on, but it's basically Hollywood's way of undermining extra-judicial behaviour at the expense of a corrupt system.
They did the same thing with Soldier Boy in The Boys. They basically said, "Look, Soldier Boy is a Chud! He's a racist bigot! He's evil... right? ....Right?!?!?!" and he turned out to be the most popular character in the whole series because in trying to make him a "stubborn racist bigot!" they just made him based and right!
Other than the Neo Nazi part the rest of the film is a pretty good surrealisation of modernity. D-FENS is supposed to be portrayed as a "bad guy", but some of the tells was a bit ahead of its time in actually incidentally painting him as the actual victim.
-
It turns out he WASN'T actually abusive to his emotionally fragile wife -- a wife (or rather, ex-wife) who used those emotions to ruin his life and prevent him from seeing his child.
-
He was good at his job until he was considered "Not Economically Viable", which was basically a euphemism for today's outsourcing of work in Occidental nations to third-world street shytters.
-
The city planning had designed roads to make commuting terrible all while making it difficult to maintain a vehicle to commute
-
Gangs and violence ran rampant, and despite their prevalence and terrorism, the police force still [poorly] utilised its manpower to hunt down a guy who was simply fed up instead of the animals that were decaying society.
-
There were arbitrary rules about consumerism that made no sense just to force people under anarcho tyranny -- even when he was willing to pay for products in earnest (i.e., people willing to PAY for physical goods at MSRP yet not being able to do so due to corporate licencing or removal of products for no discernible reason).
The movie basically was way ahead of its time. While some of those issues were cropping up in the West back in the 80s and 90s, they are completely in your face today, much like how the woke society of Demolition Man can almost be seen as a documentary of today's trends.
It also forces everyone into a digital ecosystem with a digital ID where they can revoke your access based on your social credit score.
Sony has already been caught in the past doing it, and I believe there were a few stories about Xbox, but once you're forced to tie all of your purchases to an online account and that account gets banned for [wrong think], you can kiss your library goodbye.
It's not even just a chilling effect, it's freezing out any modicum of anonymity and ownership completely.
Ha, I literally heard this in his voice while reading it... someone needs to make an AI post of this and meme it out on social media. Maybe it'll help wake some of the young kids up.
You should really look into freelance contract work. It's what got me through the downturns until I found something steady.
The "high-IQ" memer should have ran the text through spellcheck first.
The chicks were hot and the choreography was pretty good for what it was. As you said, by today's standards it's a masterpiece.
I don't know of any modern Western films with good choreography -- and hot chicks in mainstream films have gone extinct like the Tasmanian Tiger.
Literally this shit only stopped because FAGGOTS started trying to rape men/fuck them for jobs and the men started speaking out, like Terry Crews.
And Brendan Fraser... they wanted to post him over and bugger him for the chance to play Superman.
Him denying the producers shut down multiple roles for him.
Crazy stuff.
All we get are dykes, blacks and mongoloids.
This isn't even a joke.
Every other actress under 30 is on the faggotry spectrum.
I play a game of looking up actresses in major pictures to guess if they're on the faggotry spectrum, and oftentimes than not, they are.
I think one of the few wholesome ones is McKenna Grace. I remember her because I was watching some interviews for some movie (can't even be bothered to remember what the movie was), and on multiple occasions she often talked positively about her relationship with her father and how they played games together, etc. You could tell he brought genuine joy to her life based on her body language and higher vocal intonation when discussing him. So no surprise, she's not a dyke.
The real tragedy here is that 12 years later and re-censored version barely looks better than the original. If the hair cards were better designed in the old game, it would put the new one to shame.
I'm just thinking about what gaming was like in 1982 compared to was being released in 1994. It was a massive world of difference.
Keep in mind we went from this...

Thank you very much. I really appreciate this. This is going in my folder.
What we might consider to be spurious science is still important because it proves a lot of the traditions of the Bible to be true for a reason. Like, for instance, we now have data about pair bonding that helps reinforce the reasons why the Bible repeatedly mentions "one man for one woman". Or the litany of medical reasons explaining why faggotry is bad for humanity.
Tl:DR: The Bible basically outlines what's not good for society/mankind, and science helps explain the reasons why.
I don't get into fact-slapping contests with pro-abortionists often because their stance is always so fickle and tenuous, they barely have anything to stand behind other than prevaricating with the motte and bailey tactic Kaarous mentioned (i.e., they will often defer to how religious folk don't care for kids that aren't aborted, which is a complertely separate topic of discussion from abortion itself).
But this is one of the best charts I have ever seen about the topic. It completely destroys their argument from top to bottom when they try to rationalise around the exceptions of abortion -- those exceptions are practically infinitesimal.
I'm definitely going to save this one. Do you also have the original link on hand or the study this was taken from?
Yeah there's nothing stopping them from using USB carts or the equivalent. Some of the NIntendo's games still come on SD cards -- and USB sticks are even cheaper than that. It's all a ploy to ensure everything you access has some form of digital rights media so they can control what you're using and for how long.
These threads are always interesting to me because they give a glimpse into a market I don't partake in -- but it's nice to get some insight into what's happening in the zeitgeist.
What I've gathered from reading these threads every time they pop up is that the Isekai (is that the right term?) genre still seems to be dominating -- the whole trapped in a virtual world theme.
I remember when the big talk of the town in the anime/gaming sphere was Sword Art Online. I didn't watch it nor play any of the games, but it was talked about a lot in nerd circles and that had to be more than a decade ago at this point.
I guess, what I'm trying to get across is -- is that genre really still that popular? Are there no new themes dominating the market at this time, like dark sci-fi? Or alien mechs? Etc.
I only ask because there is an AI series about a K-pop mech squad that fights deadly aliens, which reminded me of Muv-luv -- I think that was it (or some spin-off if it -- I remember it was on a top-ten list of modern gory anime). Do they still make stuff like that or is it all about the nerdy guy being trapped in a virtual world surrounded by beautiful wenches?
Yup, Greenlight was a good thing -- put the power of curation in the hands of consumers.
Media hated it because it put the power of curation in the hands of consumers.
Marriage for the commoner is literally the ONLY way you get a stable civilisation, because it's the only way to raise a healthy family. Without it, you will never get a civilisation, hence why any culture that does not have standardised marriage has never built a stable, sustainable civilisation.
The problem, however, is twofold:
- Gaben won't live forever
- Nintendo is entering the Jew phase of remaking remasters
I bought a lot of first-party physical titles for the Switch 1. I think the only game I bought for the Switch 2 is Terminator 2D. And I don't think I've bought any Switch 2 games digitally. Almost everything on the Switch 2 seems to be a remaster or remake, but then again, I haven't been keeping up to date with their announcements, so maybe there's something special I missed?
With Steam, however.... the only reason it's any good is because Gabe doesn't do anything. Just makes games available and stays out of the way.
But we all know that when he passes whoever takes over is not going to do that... they will fold. Gaben is an old-head like many of us here, and he grew up in a time where innovative was rife throughout the industry in the 80s and 90s, and saw all the burgeoning tech, the downfall of the dot com era, and the rise and fall of ownership amongst consumers as the gaming market went digital.
Some new-head is not going to understand the of being pro-consumer, about retaining software history, or preserving content. Heck, talk to most millennials and Gen Z'ers and they will argue to their dying breah that "you never owned anything anyways". All they have to spout is pro-corpo-slop bollocks they picked up from astroturfed reddit threads.
But you're absolutely right that Xbox and Sony are FUBAR. There is nothing else left. Hopefully everyone does the right proper thing and buy up all their physical PS3 and PS4 games before it's too late and dump the ISOs for emulation purposes, because the PlayStation brand is going to go extinct sooner rather than later.
No, this is actual bona fide bullcrap.
Read the actual history of the family from the surviving members of the Marstons, specifically Christie Marston, who debunked the whole thing about her grandmother being bisexual.
That was a complete fabrication in the movie Professor Marston and the Wonder Women by faggot filmmakers. The director and writers did the exact same thing with Mary Anning -- turning her into a lesbian in the film Ammonite. They also did the same thing with the film Lizzie, turning Lizzie Borden into a lesbian as well.
This is a frequent thing happening in modern media.
It's a rewriting of history to glamorise and normalise faggotry through anachronisms.
Not being facetious, but what did they make that was actually good or worth buying this gen? I've been mostly out of the loop. I used to like Xbox more than PlayStation, but after the Xbox One it seemed like the only good thing about Xbox was backwards capability (just 'till I found out most the games I liked couldn't be played so I had to get them via emulator).
His mom is also a faggot too.
Something messed up really happened in that family.
She is afraid because she thought a t-shirt was accusing her of racism. To be called racist means you are in danger. Something she has no problem accusing her enemies of.
This really sums up all of their behaviour -- they want the privilege of lording over you rules that you are not allowed to partake in.
Yep, she's a ran-through whore. Wenches like this will be on Tiktok at 35 complaining about "where are all the good lads?" after having Chad and Tyrone run trains on them all throughout their 20s. She's a future case (or maybe even present case) of mental illness, SSRIs, and only ever having "cat mom" as her highest achievement in life.
