it's a woman...she's based on the voice actress, she just happens to be in her forties, late thirties if she has an addiction problem...
lol, I remember rolling my eyes at the twilight thing...only to catch myself with a team cap button on my walmart vest years later. 🤣😅
no doubt, lol.
I really don't know if there's anything to it, I just thought it was an interesting pattern is all.
there does seem to be an attitude that it's their role to shape the will of the people rather than follow it...
fair point, thanks. something for me to chew on.
Semi random, but some old dude falls last week, in a fucking hospital lot and no one will move his ass for hours LMAO. There is something wrong with these people. "compassion fatigue" is their excuse.
from the article:
Foster said she was shocked the hospital couldn’t do more for the man, who was injured mere metres from the hospital’s doors. She said staff told her because it was an emergency, it was an issue for the emergency department.
Bureaucratic paralysis... don't know what the term for it is, but that's my best description.
Meanwhile the Premier (I assume equivalent to a governor here in the states?) completely misses the source of the problem, which means he'll make the problem worse (emphasis mine):
When asked about the incident, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said no one should have had to wait that long for an ambulance, and said he’s looking into what happened.
Could doctors and nurses be frozen into inaction by regimented bureacracy be the problem? oh, certainly not, but maybe the doctors and nurses were just at fault for not stepping outside the little box you drew with red tape for them:
“I understand some people have reached out to people who were working inside the building. We’ll try to understand what — is there any liability issue for them to come in the parking lot, all these types of things,” said Houston.
...and here come the gibs...:
He added that while investments are being made in health care, the case serves as a reminder more improvements are needed.
Once more with the ambulance nonsense, the man shouldn't have needed to wait for an ambulance when there's healthcare professionals right fucking there :
“There are standards for sure for ambulance response times. And, you know, we look at the data on how often that’s met. It’s being met more often,” he said.
...People like this make me ill...
two sides of the same socialist wooden nickel...
damn, good catch.
yeah, but both sides still wanted a majority market share. they also had different strategies for getting their computers in front of users. Apple targeted schools while IBM targeted businesses. Both were hoping to familiarize users with their products so they'd be more inclined to want to buy what they already knew how to use. (Besides, IBM made most of their money selling to those businesses anyway. corporation needs a looootta workstations, not to mention possibly mainframes and/or AS/400s...)
meanwhile, one company benefits no matter which side you choose with the cap/ironman, edward/jacob, or batman/superman thing.
lmao. the thing is with the console wars is there were competing brands vying for your dollars. this was one brand pushing people into camps based on character that were both owned/licensed to one brand.
I can't remember, did they do the "team superman"/"team batman" thing with that?
either way, maybe. <shrug> I honestly don't know.
I wouldn't even call it a theory, it's only about half baked, lol.
More of an observation, honestly
yeah, but in this case, it was one brand pushing both sides of a fictional conflict.
Hell, for all I know, it's a case of "art" imitates life, lol.
still interesting to think about, though.
could be. I'm not discounting the possibility of intent, I just don't know one way or another.
thanks, I forgot about that one, added to the OP.
sad part is he probably believes it.
For all their talk of "muh people's revolution," these elitist pricks just can't fathom the idea that crowdfunding could be so powerful.
but then, trump does what trudont.
was unronically waiting for it...
ah well...
heck, who knows, maybe I could get a blacksmith to make me a (semi) functional replica someday, lol.
look on the brightside: at least nerd chic fell out of favor.
...If I had to see one more abercrombie and fitch model in a green lantern t-shirt say absolutely nothing of value about vidya...
...prefer the ones that buy me dinner first...
...I have a fucked up sense of humor...😞
...not gonna lie, I'd just about kill to get ahold of a dragon dagger prop.
say what you want, but in spite of being dumb as hell, it was also somehow cool as hell at the same time...
don't forget the dancing syringes.
...side note, I still can't believe he did this unironically. When did we stop mocking cringe-inducing bullshit like this and start actually doing it again!?!
I was just about to comment something along those lines.
thanks for saving me the time, lol
the internet has been a double-edged sword in many ways...
in this case, it's a matter of context.
Silent Hill was part of the, for lack of a better term, "holy trinity" of survival horror games(Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark being the other two legs) when it came out, and two was in many ways the defining entry in the series, introducing long-running antagonist Pyramid Head, and composer Akira Yamaoka to the franchise, among other things I'm sure die-hard fans could name that I can't. It's been a fan-favorite of the games for years.
Couple that with the relatively good, but mildly off-putting movies and the HD remakes on the PS3(PS4) where Konami made some rather unfortunate voice-acting choices (Mary Elizabeth Macglynn? as Mary/Maria? really!?! she's been a part of the team forever, and she's a great voice actress, but a terrible choice for the role in question), not to mention konami seeming to go out of their way over the last few edit:years to alienate some of their best talent, and a mediocre remake rises to the level of a refreshing return to form.
...when you then compare it to the state of the industry as a whole with titles like Concorde, Dustborn, etc. and that mediocre remake rises even further to a nugget of polished gold in a sea of diarrhea horseshit.
