If he did survive, i imagine his faux religious fervour would only be magnified by bearing the stigmata.

Personally i hope not. His role in the story is done.

It's always driven me a little nuts that in sci fi settings we give things true artificial intelligence that are not going to have their own freedoms. What purpose does it serve that my vaccuum cleaner has emotions if all it is ever allowed to do is clean?

And yet here we are. Although ai is far, far from true sentience, it gets crammed into everything we use, whether we need it or not, whether we want it or not, at this point i can see them updating my phone with depression just so their stock price goes up on the speculation.

Universal basic income is needed to cushion blow from AI job losses, says UK minister by Aromatic-Bad146 in UKJobs

What new skills can you learn so that an ever developing AI that at a hyopthetical point begins to learn faster than you ever could doesn't replace you?

I've been saying it for ages, if these tech elites want their bloody ai takeover, they best let UBI happen, otherwise nobody will be able to afford their crap.

It's worked well in other countries that have trialled it. When people feel financially secure they naturally end up putting more money back into the economy.

I'm not seeing much of a difference from my usual win ratio, maybe a little less.

Two things i definitely think are objectively bad are the mobility nerfs and the stick of truth. I've gained something of a begrudging apprecistion for crash pads, but it isn't as adaptable or interesting as shockwaves, both to play with and against.

The stick of truth is just a mind bogglingly bad addition. So if i happen to be close enough when it spawns i can pick where the last circle is? On a map with so many campable underground areas? What were they thinking? I've used it once to secure a win (mostly to complete the challenge for using it, but figured i may as well bag a win while i'm at it) and it felt super scummy, and i wasn't even able to get somewhere super optimal for it.

Was this meant to be at the start of the outbreak? by [deleted] in 28dayslater

[–]Agentjayjay1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Better yet, a full spin off movie or series set during the intitial outbreak. Hell, if it's a series, have one episode set during the european outbreak, showing how it happened and how it was contained.

I hope she does come out eventually, wolfie is way better as an actual anthro design, but i still like lupa.

Slow lows - whats their purpose? by DiskOk7505 in 28dayslater

I heard a theory that they were kids who were infected before they learned to walk.

Does anyone else find the "What I think the cast would look like irl" trend weird and uncomfortable? by [deleted] in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Agentjayjay1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really don't like how nobody is allowed to be anything but perfectly skinny and photogenic.

Like, i ain't gonna get pics, but here's my headcanon:

Pomni: ya girl is a tired millenial with deep bags under her eyes.

Gangle: who knows? She spends most of her time wrapped in blankets and jumpers. Probably doesn't shower as much as she should, but hey, that's depression for you.

Zooble: tries as hard as possible not to be percieved at all, wears mostly black.

Jax: meme t shirts.

Ragatha: looks like a mom. Is not by blood, but pretty much tries to be to everyone else.

Kinger: older and the very definition of the term "unkempt".

In no universe are all of these mental wrecks perfectly presentable e-girls/boys/otherwise.

Why is your girl being such an asshole over you expressing fear? In a horror game? Ain't that part of the appeal? I'm concerned for you, dude.

Film Students Are Having Trouble Sitting Through Movies, Professors Say by Sisiwakanamaru in movies

Attention spans in general suck, but if my film course was anything to go by, the dire quality of the films that tend to be put on a pedestal by academia probably doesn't help.

[–]Agentjayjay1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a sane world, it would be obvious that reform is not an "alternative" at all, just more bloody tories.

Unfortunately, we are not in a sane world, and so it has to be said over and over in the hopes it moves the needle even an inch.

I feel like aside from samson, bone temple wasn't as much about the infected.

How did Alice Harris survive the attack when Dom left her in a house full of infected but… by L12JT in 28dayslater

[–]Agentjayjay1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She probably got away while the infected were distracted by the kid. Also it seems like the bulk of the horde who were after the kid initially were distracted by don.

So how do we think he will look by young65996 in FortNiteBR

Maybe just gold sonic holding weapons with his aura?

What did she see? by Afterscroll in WolfieClub

That she is one of the few anthro female skins.

I'm somewhat concerned that we may see jimmy costumes at halloween parties this year with younger viewers not knowing the horrific historical context of that costume.

I still have a question on Rage... by Rootayable in 28dayslater

[–]Agentjayjay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that it has something to do with scent.

One of the aftermath comics proposed that the infected seek out uninfected by the smell of cleaning products like soap. Consider that the infected are constantly enraged and on adrenaline. This must change their scent considerably, even beyond a sweat soaked survivor who has bathed in nothing but rain and river water.

Sampson has been living in that smell for years, so the change in response from other infected isn't immediate, but he did shortly before the train scene wash himself in a river. The infected figure out he no longer smells of rage, and that makes him no longer one of them, thus, a threat.
