  Lazor Wulf. Two seasons, with a forced change in animation studios between seasons, didn’t give the show enough opportunity to grow.

  Tuca & Bertie and Firefly as well. Maybe Lower Decks too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably Morrowind.

  Properly distinct beast races, freedom to fuck up the world, really rewarding exploration, awesome scenery and concepts, great soundtrack, you can free slaves, and Argonians have never looked better overall.

  Second place, probably Red Dead Redemption 2. Every single aspect of that game is outstanding. The pacing, the story, the characters, the combat, the exploration, the horse genitals, the music, the graphics, the massive scale of the world… Just truly a masterpiece of a game, and I think Rockstar will never surpass it.

  Honorable mentions for Caves of Qud, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7 (original AND remake/rebirth) and Starflight (mostly played on C64 but Genesis/Megadrive version is far better)

  I can’t beat Genichiro Ashina, but I think I’m going at him too early, but damnit I should still be able to!

  I’d put money on the user in question being a right wing nutjob making bad faith arguments, judging from how fash the twitter account linked in this post seems to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Tech Tips' Official Subreddit Bans Users For Condemning Racism⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Your primary source is a Nazi tweet on a Nazi website.

  I bet the banned user was a racist making bullshit claims along the lines of the “reverse racism” dogwhistle.

  Thanks for the super detailed response! I personally really enjoyed and felt like I really needed to see the rebellion and victory, the catharsis of seeing Marshall get absolutely wrecked with a punch to the face was glorious to me. And it genuinely felt like both he as a character and all the unpleasant shit the film laid out along the way earned that. I don’t think it’s too far to believe that such extreme conditions and such an extremely fucking stupid leader with four years trapped together would lead to enough resentment to cause the rebellion.

  I do definitely agree, most strongly with the final point - there was the slightest hint of some queer love but they ripped it away after half a second of merely implying it.

  Also quite strongly agree with #2 - and I felt like Mickey shouldn’t ever remember his own death if he only backs up his personality once a week, unless there’s some untold story (or I just missed some exposition) where they advanced the tech to be realtime backup.

  I must have missed the part about the vaccine being a nerve toxin. Translator seemed entirely believable to me - if they can print humans and re-implant memory backups, a translator seems comparatively technologically simple

  I mean a situation where the god that christians worship both CAN prevent people from sinning and DOES actually prevent people from sinning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Mickey 17' Sinks at Box Office to $18.5 Million Opening Weekend⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So… You don’t like that it had a happy ending?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jobless, isolated, fed misogynistic porn… where is the love for Britain’s lost boys?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if all have sinned in a situation where no sin occurs, then you can’t say “true”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jobless, isolated, fed misogynistic porn… where is the love for Britain’s lost boys?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if no sin occurs, nothing to repent

  I like that idea, but it’d have to come with some mechanism to prevent parasites from buying a bunch of them up and renting them out.

  fuck if I know what such a mechanism would look like though…

  All federal funding will stop

  That’s the only part here anyone needs to know.

  He’ll threaten to pull funding for his stupid pet issues first, then pull it anyways for everyone else.

  Therefore, fucking ignore his threats, nothing you can do will ever appease him and he will go back on his own word like it’s a bodily function.

  I smashed the mothercrystals and there’s the big dark crystal and Mid made the hideout a boat, I gotta get back into it tho clearly!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are modern Final Fantasy games bad?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  FF16 is at least advanced medieval fantasy setting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are modern Final Fantasy games bad?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played 7, 8, 7 Remake and Rebirth, and 16. I love each and every one of them.

  16 can be tough sometimes just with how much cruelty exists in the world that the game is set in. Otherwise I find it quite excellent. The combat is really fun and varied, music is really good, characters are deep and complicated, visual design and graphics are really really good.

  7 Remake and Rebirth are outstanding. I just put 150 hours into Rebirth since it launched recently on PC. I played the original back in the day and loved it back then, the nostalgia that remake and rebirth give me is like a highly refined illicit drug and it’s great. Nanaki and Cosmo Canyon are some of my most beloved gaming memories ever.

  I barely remember 8 but I played it a ton as a teenager, still have a bunch of music from it (great salt lake music still sends chills down my side!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is a prompt which results in output that satisfies the user in and of itself art, in your view? or only the actual output?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Photography is absolutely art. Humans put a lot of thought and intent into what and how they photograph and how they process and exhibit the photos.

  I’d say that some stuff like JWST images definitely count as art, and some such imagery is far more technical and research focused than purely emotional. Maybe some visually boring but scientifically significant images aren’t artistic to laypeople. Nuance here is totally fine.

  I vehemently disagree that all machine output is art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Art has to be made by people. It’s literally not art otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What tool do people use to make these images with big text? Let alone why bother generating an image where text alone would have been equally sufficient, what even causes these things to come into existence?
