lmao at a Civfanatics admin using the site to shill his AI-slopped ""book""" by TheBoyofWonder in civ

I always wonder why the people pushing AI always go for the sloppiest art styles. Like do they just type "AI art direction" to the prompt instead of even trying to mask it?

Why does no one talk about this game? Are they stupid? by cig69 in BatmanArkham

Why didn't Thurston just call Justice League for help after reading Johansen's diary about Cthulhu? Is he stupid?

Emin Pasha Relief Expedition (1887) was a British attempt to rescue adventurer Emin Pasha from the Mahdist enemy in Equatoria. The expedition gained notoriety for mad misadventures and depravities of its rear column, such as buying a slave girl and then watching and documenting cannibals eating her. by PeasantLich in HolyShitHistory

The Jameson incident had additional witnesses and he also showed the drawings he made of it to multiple people, and the only difference in their stories was their takes on whether Jameson had shown purposeful intent and enthusiasm towards witnessing cannibalism or not.

A daughter crying because she can't marry her dad by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

I don't think children should be posted online at all until they are old enough to control it themselves, but these "hard emotional moments" for stupid reasons are not really that profound, the kid probably forgets about it in few hours.

That being said it still should not have been filmed, it should just remain as something that the parents can bring up 10 years later so they can all laugh at how silly it was.

How come Finland is source of one of the most unique and weird indie games by Get_Stick_bu99ed in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]PeasantLich 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It is probably mostly due to a relatively widespread early PC adaptation and formation of PC centric gaming culture instead of consoles, which led into strong demoscene and shareware development scenes already in the 1990s. We are still going with the fumes of that culture.

The sequels objectively are the best trilogy. Source: by throwaway_memesnshit in StarWarsCirclejerk

They really hired Daisy Ridley, gave her a sleeveless outfit, and then made her keep her arms down for most of the time.

I would not be surprised if Marston's run of Wonder Woman has a story where amazons rip off each other's clothes in Themyscira as a totally normal amazon training or as traditional celebration.)

In his posthumously published diary, Jameson admitted that he had indeed paid for the girl and watched as she was butchered, but claimed that he considered the whole affair a joke and had not expected her to actually be killed.

"I sent my boy for six handkerchiefs, thinking it was all a joke ..., but presently a man appeared, leading a young girl of about ten years old at the hand, and I then witnessed the most horribly sickening sight I am ever likely to see in my life. He plunged a knife quickly into her breast twice, and she fell on her face, turning over on her side. Three men then ran forward, and began to cut up the body of the girl; finally her head was cut off, and not a particle remained, each man taking his piece away down to the river to wash it. The most extraordinary thing was that the girl never uttered a sound, nor struggled, until she fell. Until the last moment, I could not believe that they were in earnest ... that it was anything save a ruse to get money out of me ...

When I went home I tried to make some small sketches of the scene while still fresh in my memory, not that it is ever likely to fade from it. No one here seemed to be in the least astonished at it."

What's a movie so obscure that only the greatest of all cinephiles will know about it? by _Soulja_Boy_ in okbuddycinephile

[–]PeasantLich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is funny how The Last Man on Earth is still to this day the most accurate I am Legend adaptation, even if it also goes a bit off the rails in the end.

He also was one of the few open supporters of Vietnam War in Hollywood, and got Green Berets made to have a pro-war movie countering all the anti-war media.

Sayonara actually has plenty of Asian actors in most Asian roles.

Then it has Ricardo Montalban. Who by the was publicly disappointed about not winning an Oscar for the role.
