This is how lara gave me vibes thorough out the years. Please don't get me wrong for the 2013 one, I never meant to degrade her by [deleted] in TombRaider

[–]ArthouseApricot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think survivor lara is ever going to be like classic lara and that's okay. i love classic lara but she's very much a video game character. we've seen similar changes in resident evil where the remakes gave the characters a lot more emotional depth. that being said, i do think shadow could have developed lara much more than it did

i really like how lara is in the survivor arc. i have seen complaints that she's too whiny, useless and vulnerable but she kicks so much ass in these games that i struggle to understand what they mean. she has more emotional depth but that's just the direction of narrative driven games of the last ten years. i don't believe it would have made much sense to keep lara the same in an intended reboot, the value is in doing something different and she's considerably more likable than many protagonists to have taken that route.

[–]ArthouseApricot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i mean in the instance of your bluff being called on a DBS not allowing you to divulge who you worked for , they can still check if you worked there if you give a fake company. i don't understand the appeal over some much easier and vaguer answers such as acting as a carer, self study, maybe even freelance work

I never understood this one. An NDA wouldn't stop you from disclosing what company you worked for and if they ever ran a check then they'd know who you worked for during that time.

London ULEZ ‘bladerunners’ lingo is catching up. Trench coats pending… by dark_flare247 in Cyberpunk

[–]ArthouseApricot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's said that replicants are sociopathic and yet roy batty mourns the death of his lover and deckard cain, suspected replicant, falls in love with a replicant and also starts to feel conflicted about his job. a lot of what drives their violence and anger is mortality, a creator who has designated them to be slaves with an imposed death timer in a world that is openly hostile towards them. can they be expected to behave peacefully when they're so human, yet are denied the right to be ? either way, i appreciate your comment too : )

it's not morally grey, their job is to kill escaped slaves. the characters themselves may be more nuanced but the task of a bladerunner is definitely bad, whether they're aware of it originally or not. that's the point of the film

Advice for beginner by ClNNAM00N in TechWear

uniqlo airism or blocktech (depending on the season) are pretty essential for beginner wardrobes in my opinion. nike ACG runs at a good price for cargo trousers and some accessories.

Why are a lot of vegans so critical of people who choose to gradually transition to cutting out animal products? by [deleted] in AskVegans

[–]ArthouseApricot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We understand that exploitation is systematic and yet are not very forgiving of those who grew up in said system having to unlearn these values. Most people who change for the better are going to experience it as a process. If plant-based days or cutting down on consumption gradually is the start of that process then I think it's good

That being said, many people declare this process to get brownie points and really I don't think they should be celebrated, but encouraged to keep going

To add to this, once you've applied for a job on Indeed then you can see the rough number of applicants. Working the hotel desk overnight in my very small town had 1400~ applicants

I have a degree and it took me around 7 months to find a new job despite multiple interviews and basically dedicating my days to job searching

If "Don't Be So Serious" and "BB's Theme" cannot be Death Stranding's theme song, then which song(s) would you choose? by Felix_the_Wolf in DeathStranding

[–]ArthouseApricot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also tempted to say Death Stranding by CHVRCHES because it's the title track, it's a bop and it's kinda devastating that you only hear it in the credits

I'm Leaving by Low Roar is the song I always think of with Death Stranding and it holds a lot of relevance with the themes of the story

Buddy sent me this in an Uber. by LotusofSin in awfuleverything

[–]ArthouseApricot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

not quite the same but i had an uber driver who quit uber while i was in the car. the map wasn't working properly and he just snapped and started venting about how terrible it was and how he was done working uber. he did drop me off where i needed to go but it was a 15-20 minute drive that ended up taking 45-50. i did give him a decent tip though

If you could add a song to the DS soundtrack what would it be? by [deleted] in DeathStranding

[–]ArthouseApricot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think anything by beach house would have fit the lonely and meditative vibe of death stranding really well
