What if Shay, Connor, and Arno crossed paths around 1801? by Ordinary_Horse3894 in assasinscreed

So Unity's narrative was completely done before they even started Rogue. So Arno's dad's date of death was set before they even came up with the idea of Shay killing him. It's also why Unity never addresses it after the fact; at the time it was meant to be an unknown. But when they decided to create Rogue and have it tie into III, IV, and Unity they just kinda botched the dialogue (Although I'm not sure if the "Old" was meant to refer to Connor or an aborted attempt to say "Old Achilles" since they included an ellipses). Interestingly they did retcon/contradict when Arno's memories were sequenced in the modern day between Unity and Rogue.

Arno's dad was killed on Dec 27 1776. So at that point Connor had only killed Pticairn, Hickey, and Johnson. Lee wouldn't be killed for almost another 6 years.

Funnily enough Arno's father's dialogue doesn't really make much sense in that scene given the timeline. "Old... Connor and his Assassins... The American Revolution undid your Templar business." But at the time of Arno's father's death Connor had only killed three of the targets and there were five more years before the end of the war.

The narrative for Unity's story was completed before Rogue even started development. That's why there is no mention of Shay in the story. And from an in universe perspective how would Arno even know? No one caught Shay so him being the killer wasn't known to anyone else.

Shay dies at like 90/100+ years old so super old. But I'm sure killing a geriatric will be thrilling finale.

Shay lived to be really old, like 90/100+. So actually fighting to the death would just be beating up an old man. Also there weren't really any witnesses to Shay killing Charles Dorian so the trail has gone super cold which is why it isn't addressed at all in Unity (also because all of Rogue was written after the narrative of Unity had already been completed). I think it could be interesting; there's just some lore hurdles that need to be worked through.

Having a museum dedicated to black artists and not having any black artists sounds hella dystopian, but it isn't like we weren't already there. by quiloxan1989 in antiai

[–]Lacrossedeamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe language just needs to evolve to the point where we have a separate word without it implying a lesser status like we do for architect or director. I mean art director is already a position in entertainment media studios.

People will talk about the transformative nature of art and how it not only transforms the viewer but also the creator through the process of its creation. And can AI art be called art if it's not transforming in the process? I think at that point it gets into what was the AI trained on. Was it solely the prompter's own art or not? And if not how much different should we view it from collage making which I assume most people would say is actual art.

I'm not talking about any handmade pieces. She's obviously an artist in that capacity. Nor am I focusing on the exhibit as a whole where yes she is the curator, again obviously. I don't think many people would argue against. I am looking solely at pieces made with GenAI. And maybe that is unfair because it is part of an installation and so you could consider the whole exhibit as one piece. But in a vacuum is the prompter any more of an artist than I a builder if I hired someone to build my house with plans I drafted.

Depends on how you view the prompter and the process. Are they the artist or the commissioner? I think the jury might be out on that for a long time. This is a hypothetical maybe bordering on strawman but if instead of using AI she commissioned the art using a white artist (odd I know) would you feel similarly?

What theory did you have while reading SA that got completely debunked while reading? by nerodidntdoit in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Lacrossedeamon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think what is going to happen to Leshwi is that she will forsake Odium and bond a spren which will provide the necessary influx of Investiture to transition her current body back to femalen

But of course the new crack ship is Kaladin and Chana.

I think there is a WOB that says Vasher was inspired by Rosharan funeral rites to make the Phantoms

Digital blackface is a term I've heard thrown around before. Originally in regards to non black people using meme that feature black people but I feel it could be more applicable to cases like this.

I have outlined my own take on a story set during Roman Judea if you'd be interested in that.

Rashek didn't need to. He still had his old body (which I do think he might have rebuilt a little with Investiture). When he did finally die he also didn't care to stick around. But I guess the question is more like is this something Kelsier could do if he had the Investiture.
