• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a better sequel than Terminator 2?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Dead Reckoning is a good, and poignant, concept, but I think it suffers from weak writing.

  It suffered a bit from the same issue as the video game Uncharted 3, where they wrote the action set pieces first, then wrote the story to fit them together. I’m not sure if that’s what happened in the writing of Dead Reckoning, but that’s how it felt.

  Overall I still liked it, and look forward to the next one, but it isn’t as strong as the previous 3 films.

  I liked MI2 better than MI:III

  it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, so I can’t really remember why.

  This is framed like 80 generations is a small number, but that’s huge. Culture and civilization moves so quickly that even 3 generations ago life is barely recognisable. I can’t even imagine what life was like 40 generations ago.

  Flashback

  I played it on the SNES. It’s a sci-fi platformer that I felt shared themes with movies like Total Recall, They Live, Blade Runner, Running Man.

  You start as Conrad, who has crash landed on Titan, being chased by mysterious bad guys, and with no memory of why. All you have is a gun, and a video recording of yourself telling you where to go for the next clue.

  There was actually a good Alien novel saga that explored a mysterious reappearance of Ellen Ripley that turned out to be an android recreation of the real Ripley. I can’t remember if it was set before or after Alien Resurrection

  But they only didn’t happen because you stayed cautious. Now your younger self will throw caution to the wind and suffer the consequences.

  It’s a great show. You just gotta get past the first two seasons. Trust me bro /s

  Aren’t they introduced as special effects artists in the intro of every episode?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional probability⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Please quit with this tax write off misinformation.

  They cut their losses. We don’t know the details why, but for some reason they decided it would cost too much in money or reputation to continue with marketing and release.

  Not everything is a billionaire conspiracy. Sometimes they just realise they made a film too shit to release, or some person in a suit just wanted to spite someone.

  Commandos! One of my favourites! Commandos 4 comes out soon I believe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you start with the second one you won’t know what’s going on and feel like you’ve missed a bunch of important story.

  This is how it felt after playing the first one as well. Half Life 2 is almost an unrelated game. The plots of the two barely line up.

  Hang on, what is bad about the word moist? Some of my favourite things are moist!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nighttime pollinator gang rise up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What do mean regarding terrible names? “Moth” isn’t inherently a bad name; any negative connotations of the word come from the creature itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Todd Phillips: Movie Theaters Should Ban Commercials Before Films⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was when the credits happened at the start of the film. Now that the credits are at the end, most people would walk out before the trailers could play.

  Do you have a link to a track ball mouse as an example of what you mean? What do you think are the pros and cons of using one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eternal fire⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an improvement on established technology. The “healthy” angle is that it has a drip tray. For some reason that has more marketing potential than: cooks quicker, with less energy, and a smaller device.

  If you’re good at what you do, it’s not hard at all. Doesn’t even feel like work. The one thing it takes from you is time. Long long days, time away from family. It’s wonderful but it’s a doozy of a price you pay

  Wow was a difficult one to make. You’ve got the cliche of humans vs orcs, but in the context of Warcraft the orcs aren’t pure evil antagonists. How do you make a swords and magic story where neither side are the bad guys?

  Cheaper? yes. better? No. LLMs produce the most derivative inane BS that it would just act as filler. In classic RPGs and adventure games a lot of the filler dialogue was one line per NPC to represent a microcosm within a location. There’s nothing to be gained from theoretically infinite NPCs with theoretically infinite lines of pointless dialogue.
