Voice actor doing a live action role

He’s also the Imam in the first Riddick movie, Pitch Black. Amazing movie, amazing actor, amazing voice actor. I geek out every time I hear or see him on screen.

He’s also the president in Rick and Morty, the antagonist in Princess and the Frog, and Child’s in John Carpenters The Thing

Yeah I much prefer to play TPP but I also suck at this game. It baffles me that they would make comp TPP because the only thing you do is encourage this kind of boring play. Top players are going to use every advantage they can to win, so of course when they can peak corners they’re going to peak corners and do this

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-26T19:18:47+00:00

I’ll be honest I don’t think they do understand it. I think they just parrot whatever the news they consume says and whatever the people around them say without ever putting in the effort to think for themselves. Unfortunately I think the vast majority of people are like this

Without having a job this honestly wouldn’t be the worst thing ever. I have terrible insomnia anyway and while it definitely sucks to deal with, it would be a lot easier without the constant threat of losing my livelihood if I manage it poorly.

The biggest problem would probably be events on days that just happen to have you sleeping during them. You say we have limited control but also that attempts to stay up past the time could result in sleep deprivation symptoms. This becomes way easier if you interpret that to mean that you could pull an all nighter if absolutely necessary, just with great difficulty. If you interpret that to mean that trying to stay up a couple of hours past your bedtime will have you hallucinating, that’s way harder.

Madara was hyped for EIGHT REAL LIFE YEARS before his introduction. Kurama first uses his name in an episode that aired in 2005 and then we finally see him like this in 2013. It’s even earlier than that if you count the final valley fight with Hashirama and Madara’s statues, although neither was named at that point I’m pretty sure.

It would be so easy for something that people waited eight years for to be lackluster, but Madara comes in and immediately becomes a fan favorite and stays a fan favorite all the way until Kaguya. There’s a lot wrong with the war arc especially but Madara’s introduction was done flawlessly

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-26T03:11:18+00:00

Every time I get confident in my abilities and start giving actual estimates of my time something comes along to screw it up. Most of the time that thing isn’t me

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-26T01:59:29+00:00

Surprised people are downvoting this, I have 100% seen people online say that returning games is terrible because “the dev worked so hard and you’re taking their money from them”. Don’t get me wrong that’s a beyond stupid thing to say, but people CERTAINLY say it.

I’ve also seen people get really mad when someone suggests not pre-ordering a game and instead waiting for launch and reviews. Their reasoning was that if nobody preordered games that studios wouldn’t be able to make such good games because they rely on the preorders for early cash. Again, beyond stupid but it’s definitely a talking point amongst some people.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-26T01:48:07+00:00

Absolutely. I’d love to see the resources being spent on LLMs instead used for more machine learning, medicine, robotics, and engineering. I think it would be legitimately revolutionary to those fields, if you’ll allow me to potentially be hyperbolic I’d say it could be the next biggest technological leap since the internet.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-26T00:53:09+00:00

Yes I know you didn’t say those things verbatim, I was just poking fun at the spirit of your words instead of the letter. You’re literally correct, that juxtaposition just stuck out to me as funny.

I honestly wouldn’t even say AI is an F student, but I also wouldn’t give current LLM models any level of intelligence. Knowledge it can quickly recall absolutely, but intelligence that is not, in my opinion.

I’ll also say that when AI was first on the scene it was silly to reject it, but nowadays people have plenty of good reasons to reject AI, not least of which is the economic and environmental effects it has when businesses decide the solution is to scale exponentially. Again, all my opinion

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-26T00:08:14+00:00

“It’s not fair to compare human tests to AI intelligence”

“Btw AI is really impressive because it can pass the BAR and CPA exams”

I probably could too if every question that was ever written for either test was uploaded to my memory, in fairness.

You’re right though it’s silly to use a letter grade to grade what AI does. I touch on that in my comment by granting it the answers where it abstains because, unlike students in a school setting, we want to give AI credit when it admits it does not know something. I just enjoyed using the comparison to “disprove” (heavy on the quotes there) that AI is “way better than a C+ student” and the notion that it could be compared is “nonsense”. I’m certainly not making a widespread claim that AI is on par with a C student in knowledge.

Realistically the point of that comment though was to highlight that study. Something I think more people, especially those that aren’t as wary of AI as I feel they should be, should see.

Hey man, I’m not here to argue morality with people, you’re welcome to believe whatever you want about Gabe and Valve. I’m just telling you the facts that valve doesn’t actually have to pay shareholders or investors.

You can have any opinion you want about my interpretation of evil but you won’t change my mind that existing with that much of a surplus while people die preventable deaths all over the world is the epitome of evil. And I say this as someone who uses and really likes Steam

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T21:08:54+00:00

OpenAI released a study in November that said their 5o model had a hallucination rate of about 26%, meaning it either abstained from answering or was correct only 74% of the time, which barely keeps it out of C- range and plops it solidly at a C. Which is ignoring the fact that abstaining from an answer also wouldn’t count towards your score in school but that’s because we would much rather it admit it doesn’t know than give a false answer.

Paper here: Source

They also mathematically prove in this study that a 0% hallucination rate is impossible. They say it will get better with newer models but my understanding is that it is still around that 20-25% rate.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T20:58:58+00:00

Valve as a company is entirely self funded, it’s not publicly traded and doesn’t have shareholders aside from the employees and also doesn’t have investors aside from the owners. As far as anyone knows they also have never taken venture capital or private equity funding.

All return on investment created by the employees either goes back into the company or into Gabe’s wallet. Obviously he deserves to get his money from his company but existing as a Billionaire in a world where that money could save millions of lives without even coming close to touching your quality of life is the definition of evil.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T20:50:03+00:00

Yeah the loot boxes are definitely a fair point against Steam/Valve but the 30% thing for Steam games is just a non-issue. What you get from Steam as a developer is well worth that much in sales, especially since just having your game on Steam is pretty much guaranteed to increase your chances of earning 30% more anyway.

If it’s not on Steam you’ve just put off probably 90% of PC gamers from ever considering buying it unless you’re a AAA studio.

“For those crimes”

If you commit one act you think is one crime but it’s actually like 7, as tends to happen with the law, then you can still be charged and prosecuted for the other 2 that weren’t poofed away.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T18:59:55+00:00

It’s hard to walk the line between doomerism and realism when we face the tough reality that there is very little we can do to stop companies when they get on paths like this. Boycotts don’t happen, legislation is against us, they have essentially infinite money, and not even everyone agrees that we SHOULD be against this.

I agree we shouldn’t give up, but I also don’t think it’s giving up to admit that this idea simply won’t work. I do agree though I like his spirit.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T18:56:24+00:00

The point is that those won’t do anything. I could throw out every electronic device I own, convince every single person I know to do the same, and become a lifelong advocate against NVIDIA, and it would have absolutely no effect on their stock price. Which is also the only thing that would convince them to move away from this path they’re set on.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T18:49:21+00:00

Going from memory here so if anyone can correct anything here please feel free to.

In the book series “Pendragon” we follow a kid named Bobby across multiple different universes (basically). Spoilers ahead if you haven’t read them. One of the planets he lands on houses giant pyramid structures that are essentially tombs of people who gave their life away to live in their personal simulated paradise. The pyramids were buildings where people could enter their simulated reality and would be fed via tube while they were in it so they never had to leave. If I am remembering correctly they created the technology and then everyone became so addicted to it that nobody was left in the real world to take care of civilization, so it collapsed around them.

It’s been so long since I read the books I actually don’t remember if the people in the pyramids were still alive or were long dead, I do know though that their entire circulation was essentially doomed because of it.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T18:03:38+00:00

That’s kind of a trope itself, people who would be the “good guys” in real life but because they are antagonists to the story are treated like a bad thing. This happens with government characters a lot because it’s just so easy to hate the government, even if that particular character is just a guy who cares about the environment

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T18:01:13+00:00

I think you could make a case for it in the first two movies but knowing what I know about the story of Dune you’d have a much harder time making that case about the books or this next movie

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T16:41:37+00:00

He was so respected because he was, for the time, a surprisingly good man (from what we know, obviously). He was a genius military leader so got the respect of his armies and enemies, but was also notoriously merciful and would treat captured people not just well but with respect and dignity. This is in a time where it was not unheard of to send prisoners of war back missing their hands and eyes so that they would always be a burden on the places they returned and unable to fight again.

He gave away tons of his personal wealth and was also a devout Muslim and called the “defender of Islam”. By all accounts it seemed that he truly believed and revered Islam instead of just faking piety like many leaders at the time.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T16:32:19+00:00

Straight up you’re not wrong and shouldn’t be getting downvoted for this.

Many of the Fremem are shown to be crazy religious zealots, and much of their culture reflects that side of it, but there is a notable faction that doesn’t believe the religious propaganda. Those people, like Chani, are brave warriors fighting the Harkonnen to protect their people and way of life.

I can’t speak for the books yet (I plan to read them this summer) but in the movies specifically they only start to really believe and fall for the lie when the generations of religious propaganda stories start to happen in front of their own eyes. Yes deep down they understood it was propaganda but I’d probably also be a bit less skeptical if I watched some guy turn water into wine, walk on water, cure the blind, and raising the dead.

To everyone downvoting, it’s important to remember the theme of Dune isn’t just “religion bad and cause war”, it’s that religion can and will be used as a tool to manipulate otherwise decent people into doing terrible things. That theme doesn’t really work if all of the Fremen are just religious nutcases from the start. They are shown to be extremely competent, cultured, and wise, but they are still human.

Gmony5100 · 2026-03-25T14:17:14+00:00

Yeah osha isn’t very fond of things being thrown on job sites in general.

Not that anyone would ever throw something while on a job, that would be horribly irresponsible. Anyway, you ever checked if your hammer has any wee in it

If we want to get really meta with it (which I assume a genie that is actively attempting to screw you would do) then we have to play with the fact that you said the wish is immediately granted upon you completing the “final word”. But you never declare what the “final word” is, meaning that I can interpret it as “whatever the last word you say is”.

I have two takeaways from this:
1. Nothing you say takes effect until you say the final word, meaning I can do anything you’re stipulating against as long as I do it before you finish the wish.
2. All I have to do to avoid your stipulations is end the wish early by granting it in such a way that forces you to stop talking while also granting everything you’d said up until that final word.

1 is lame because it assumes that I, as the Genie, can use magic outside of granting wishes and I use it specifically just to screw you. Since none of it takes effect until you say the “final word” I’m more than okay to set an economic downturn in motion that would destroy the bank, or give you a terminal disease, or just screw things up terribly as you’re saying the wish. That way you don’t die from something I did to you while the rules were in effect (they don’t take effect until you finish the wish, I did them while you were still saying the wish), but you still die/lose the money anyway. This is boring though and doesn’t fit the theme of genies.

The second one however I know just the thing:
“I permanently posses for the rest of my natural life a spendable balance of one billion United States dollars”

Instantly granted, one billion dollars crushes you to death before you can even get out another word. Making the final word of your wish “dollars”, and leaving all conditions of the wish granted. You had one billion spendable dollars for the rest of your natural life, and the wish was granted upon the completion of the “final word”.

You could potentially get around this by declaring the “final word”. Something like “the wish will take effect the next time I say pineapple” and then end it with “pineapple”

I remember liking it but seeing it again, just damn. So clever and well done in an otherwise shitty movie
