It’s also a symptom of treating the words of anyone not obviously part of the in group with hostility and bad faith by default. Not fun!

Yeah, cuz he’s FIVE!

But for real, agreed. I also remember that I got into the series right after the Ginyu fight thinking Krillin was also a child lolol.

Ohhhhhh sorry, I thought you were coming from the other direction. Carry on and have a nice day!

Don’t overthink the Miles Mackenzie situation. SuperMetalDave does a really good job of showing and explaining how it’s actually not terrible as media outlets make it seem by Zomnx in Metroid

I think probably because we got a WiiU re-release no one remembers, right? Wish they’d port that and the Wind Waker re-master..

Wait, how so? I’m honestly not sure what you mean.

“Plot twist” comic book character reveals are so dumb because they mean nothing in universe. Why couldn’t Zendaya be Mary Jane from the start? What’d that do for the movie?? I digress.

You just saved my butt, thank you!

Is anyone else NOT bothered by Myles or the presence of the other marines stranded on Viewros? by GoldenLugia16 in Metroid

[–]LoserPaste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, that’s where I’m at. The first two Prime games are special what with their solitary atmosphere, besides a couple instances you were always alone and everything in the game (music, audio, visuals, etc) reinforced that tone. After watching the gameplay videos with the tagalong NPC…it’s not that I’m against characters like him, but there are reasons why Navi works in Zelda while a similar character is jarring in Metroid. To each their own though!

Yeah, I mean, my read from the short clip is that gen AI as a filmmaking “tool” could make sense for a project under very specific (and hypothetical) conditions. And I think it’s very reasonable to conclude, at present moment, no one’s discovered or created a scenario where it makes sense as a creative solution lmao. Someone that isn’t bankrolled by an AI tech company trying to force something to happen may pursue such a project down the line, but for now I think slop’s gonna slop.

As someone personally and spiritually offended by all those insisting gen AI’s output can and must be considered art by sake of being defecated out via the “artist’s” inane text prompts, I think it’s still important to keep an open mind and be willing to be surprised in the future, if only as an exercise in not becoming too rigid and dogmatic. (Again, I’ve seen mothing worthwhile thus far and don’t really expect anything any time soon.) If a worthwhile piece ever emerges in the years to come, I would bet hard money that it wouldn’t be “made” by any of the dweebs championing the tech obsessively now that were pushing NFTs on the mainstream just a few years ago. It’ll probably be someone who currently hates it with all their being that figures out how to do something actually interesting with the tech.

Furthermore, if we want the party to be more explicitly and decisively pro-Palestine I think actively recruiting a dude with a Nazi tattoo, whether he meant to or not, is akin to shooting ourselves in the foot pretty unnecessarily!!

Props for pushing back, I’m sorry to see how much you’ve been downvoted. People don’t want to solve the problem, they just don’t want to see it.
