My reaction exactly. I studied there as well. Lise Meitner may be underappreciated but at least someone made sure she’s not forgotten.

You forgot the degaussing sound for those screens that had that feature.
*KLONK*

I think Matrix 4 was specifically made to bury the franchise. It goes out of its way to make fun of its own existence and couldn’t be more obviously a lame rehash of the first one. And as a franchise killer I can respect it.

Bonus points for not turning your parents’ backyard into a Superfund site.
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, it’s still the F310 for me. I have mine since the early 2010s and it’s still working perfectly. Those things are built like tanks and between XInput and DirectInput are compatible with just about any PC game of the last forty years, no extra software required. Also, they’re dirt cheap.
Honorable mention to the F710, the wireless version. While Windows 10’s USB stack unfortunately broke compatibility with it (causing randomly dropped inputs), Linux does not have that problem.

- Comment on Borderlands stunt coordinator says the film was originally shot with an R-rating in mind 1 month ago:
Tina actually is the most emotionally vulnerable major character in Borderlands 2, as Assault on Dragon Keep shows. However, she’s also a deeply disturbed demolitionist who tortures someone to death on-screen.
Trying to turn her into an innocent little girl feels utterly bizarre.

Manga is typically read right to left.
- Comment on Anon notices a trope 2 months ago:
Tropes can absolutely be based in reality. A trope is simply a commonly used stylistic device or convention in media. Sometimes it’s commonly used because reality just works that way. There nothing inherently cheap about it.
Cutting the hair short as a trope tells us that the character is in an extremely stressful or even traumatic situation and is trying to regain a sense of control. That’s a complex situation but can be told in seconds by relating to actual reality.
It’s not a trope in reality but it is one when used to convey a characters emotional state in a story.

Well, “proto-chickens”, let’s say.
Also known as red junglefowl.
- Comment on Anon's brother hates concrete 5 months ago:
There’s nothing to stop you from using concrete as a structural material and covering it with brick. That’s how most single-family houses in Germany work.
- Comment on Anon's brother hates concrete 5 months ago:
Unfortunately many brutalistic buildings are far off from its peak and just look like lazily designed gray blobs. High-effort brutalism can look good (or can look inappropriately evil but that’s besides the point); low-effort brutalism always looks cheap.
