listen, what i've seen is quality. It's just not what i'm looking for

searching barghest on here looking for snarling fantasy wolves, and remembering a split second too late there's an active and flourishing pornography scene

The Adventures of Pete & Pete - Season 1, Episode 1: King of The Road

i simply find it a little hard to believe that shortly after every website implemented ai code and fired a bunch of engineers they all started breaking constantly every single day but its not related to the ai code or the skeleton crew

I would hope that outsiders could look beyond our current government when evaluating Americans, but I would also hope that they would not supply our current government with heavy weaponry. 🥰

Frame #3006 from 60sE12 sad king otts daughter

rebel moon part 1 --"we are men of action" but transformed and said by the grieving wife after son is forced to kill father in opening scene that Does Not Fucking End --guy from house of cards and ant man is the village elder unusually interested in hard fucking, dies ----only time in my life i've thought a sex scene could be half a minute shorter --wtf is up with this robot --cantina fight scene but now it's a brothel to be edgier ----charlie hunnam?!?! --avatar taming the flying beast section, "slow motion that went even slower motion" --timeline confusion, issa is a real princess but also a mythological figure, but also the real one could've been like the mythic one, which one is the robot talking about vs the main character --spider lady who says her kids are too weak to emerge from eggs but her abdomen/thorax is sliced open mid-combat and hundreds of spider babies fall out and scurry off? --amazing underuse of djimon hounsou, has the worst 'recruitment' scene --wtf is up with this robot? --villain who has a sex octopus and also does weed through a port in his abdomen --pretty sure the bloodaxe guy is a voice actor? --a lot of people trying to hold the MC's hand and either she doesn't grasp back or they move on too quickly, don't know what the deal is --zack snyder has never heard of a discretion cut, you gotta see everything --you will not believe how many sparks and cinders can be floating in the breeze, dude --HOW DID SHE GET OUT SHE WAS RESTRAINED WTF could she do that the entire time???? ----okay so the mechanism to cripple them also unlocks their restraints? amazingly terrible design --is this the dang skyhook from goldeneye --wtf is up with this robot?? --matrix scene of [dead] guy with cables connected to him having a 'neuralink' plugged into his head while submerged in goo so he can talk to his 'master' on an iced over lake?

rebel moon part 2 --are they really opening the second movie with another fucking sex scene --giant monsanto commercial/music video/slo-mo interpretive dance ----if there aren't particles or particle effects flying through the air, can a scene in a movie really have happened --we are 50 minutes in and a solid 15 or 20 minutes has been slo-mo --wtf is up with this robot --in a word, these movies are turgid --okay the living reactor got up and explicitly forgave the protag?? in a vision? and i guess we're setting up more sequels --robot just took out a tank battalion on its own, and y'know the action's cool but everything around it is bland --okay seriously? the main gun can aim at the bridge of its own ship? how fucking idiotic --THE PRINCESS IS ALIVE despite being shot in like the first 20 minutes, sure she only glowed but still --zack snyder saw lord of the rings and took from it that occasionally you have a song for no good reason

watched these on the false pretext they would serve as an exemplar of pop culture, an overpreparation for future schlock, and turns out these movies aren't popular except among a cult of weirdos

so now i say i watched them because of my idiom

didn't have to take notes though, don't know why i did

you can basically adapt a lot of video games to film by making them tone pieces with little to no dialogue, but those probably won't make the kind of money that justifies their production

i'm stuck between signalis (which everyone and their mom says is fantastic) and karma: the dark world (which one weirdo says is fantastic)

it was a lot easier, i guess, when History Was Over

anyway wtf am i doing here, i should be playing more horror video games

the vibescession is, in a way, a crisis among white collar prognosticators more than a crisis in data science and statistics. The numbers haven't changed in a qualitative sense, the relationships kind of have, but it's the lack of creativity in interpreting these numbers that's rampant

and i'm positive they've updated the model, tweaked at its edges over time. It just doesn't say what people think it says. It's an imperfect tool. Economists (no more rigorous a profession!) believe assembling enough tools gives them oracular vision, and are flummoxed when the visions don't pan out

"but the consumer economic sentiment survey says--" it doesn't say what you think it says. It says the same things it's said, in the same terms, for probably going on 40 years now. You know the Consumer Confidence Index goes back over a century?

the vibescession is easy to solve: unless you have some kind of elitist attitude, the worries of the vast majority of people are correct, and the numbers and models you're looking at are wrong
or inaccurate
or outdated
or whatever other term you'd prefer instead of "wrong"

god i love games (and stories in general) that take swings like this

you mean to tell me this whole thing is
[lowers sunglasses, looks you dead in the eye]
a meme broke containment?

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

Picture of the evolution of primates to humans in silhouette Imagine if humans, rather than being the generators of consciousness, were in a sort of a parasitic relationship with it. What if the consciousness was an underlying, inseparable factor of reality, existing outside of and unconditioned be human brains. WE KNOW ANIMALS DON'T POSESS CONSCIOUSNESS How did humans come about it and why does PROFESSOR Ribkin find the word POSESS to be inaccurate in this context? The existence of the hard problem of consciousness (LOOK HERE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness), among other things suggests that consciousness, in fact, cannot be understood through traditional scientific means. A corellation between electric impulses and conscious phaenomena is evident, yet how can we even begin to categorize the raw feelings? (LOOK HERE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia) Qualia, OBVIOISLY, cannot exist outside the context of a

oh we're getting places

also i'm being harassed/gently interrogated by a guy whose name might be a metatextual reference to me, the player, which means i am interrogating myself, and one of us is just being damn evasive

pick up the game after not playing for two months and already i found a guy who loaned me his "daemon" by putting a link to a free dlc into my clipboard, and the "daemon" showed me a locker key and how to unlock a dead girl's smartphone to delete incriminating text messages

Matt @blackmilosevic I love when people say "you call everything you don't like fascist". Buddy, I even call plenty of stuff I do like fascist 6:51 PM - Aug 21, 2020

I'm not accusing anybody of anything, more just thinking out loud so i stop thinking about it in my head. But it helps to notice such things. That way you can say, whenever anybody brings up your critical attitude to media:

i'm calling it a kernel bc it's really small, but it is a central idea in the game: the great ones have children rarely, and part of this is due to Greatness. If they had kids all the time, becoming a great one wouldn't be the kind of civilization-ending effort it is

i believe he was asked about what motivated the hunting of great ones and their kids, or why immortal squid gods care about kids at all, and his answer had this kernel in it. Discussing the hierarchies involved, he used the analogy, "Even in advanced countries, the birth rates are lower, right?"

have often seen bloodborne (one of my favorite games) described as "lovecraft without the racism" and this is almost wholly true, but there is a very small kernel of it in there, and it does come from how rare great one kids are

it's this bit from the futurepress guide, an interview with miyazaki

okay everybody, i believe we've exhausted everything there is to say about The Bulwark and we can go back to the status quo ante when it only came up when people confused it for The Baffler

The bunnies look at a bedazzled portrait of a brooding young man that says, hottie, cutie man, things of that nature. GRASSY: Any chance either of you know who this is? DAFFODIL: Wow. No but I wish I did. GRASSY: What do you think he does? ASTER: A rock singer, absolutely. Notice the pugnacious jacket. DAFFODIL: He invented a machine. DAFFODIL: A machine that makes smoothies at the same time every day. DAFFODIL: And it helps women live. It helps women to live!
