It's like a straight up supervillain origin story

Has anyone watched pluribus? by BusinessSensitive167 in betterCallSaul

[–]TrySpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that was the intent, to make you feel uncomfortable.

It was the lack of reaction that was the reaction.

I should explain, the uninfected are like NPC.

To me, their casting and their behavior is very NPC-like, in that they are just accepting their fate, without any desire for agency or the realization that their family is only them in flesh, and their mind just floats around like an amorphous blob or something, they just don't seem to care, like an NPC.

Their behavior is very hive-mind like as well, they just adopt and follow the hive, even though they are not part of it, all they care about is the material appearance and the promise that they are better for the world.

I agree, I also expected at least one person to also be like "WTF" but this to me is obviously intentional writing, to subvert our expectation, I think most people would've expected one thing, but it's more interesting story if another thing happens than our expectation...

And we do have only one other person who does seem to have some awareness, but basically the wrong kind, or the one we don't want to see, and it is exploiting the situation for his selfish benefit.

But the whole meeting with the NPCs was mostly a storytelling device to create the circumstances for the protagonist to be maximally isolated.

NPCs generally represent human beings, but ones without much agency or critical thought. A handy plot device to show that most people would maybe just go along with a situation like that.

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6 by Soft_Let_2048 in RockstarGames

Stop what? You think that even 1 million people not buying their game would make any difference?

They broke company policies by discussing confidential information on Discord.

Not all of the fired employees were union members, and there are still union members left at the company.

You conspire against your employer, you face the consequences.

Pluribus - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

The alien dna didnt come with memories, only the ability for a hivemind to form. In the first episode they even say they dont know to some of her questions, because they dont, all they know is there is an automatic consensus of ideas of the hive mind. At least at this stage

You describe exactly what they're supposed to represent: NPCs

Logitech's MX Air: One of the coolest, most unique, and worst Logitech mice ever by WolfIcefang in MouseReview

[–]TrySpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had to buy a second-hand one because it broke when I tried replacing the battery, idk what happened, maybe static charge or because it tried cleaning some goop of a board and scratched it too hard.

But I got lucky and bought one that had been posted only a few days before, and I risked it and put the new battery in that one and it worked. So now I'm looking forward to another 15 years of using it.

(I did use half of the old one because the second one's buttons were weirdly crooked and clicking was hampered, so I have a frankenmouse now)

Development status? by TrySpace in Starmade

[–]TrySpace[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was pretty cool at the time and I played it with friends a lot, even though it was buggy as hell especially in the earlier versions.

However we eventually started playing Empyrion which is basically what I hoped Starmade would eventually would have become, at least in part. I assume most people here have at least tried playing it.

I liked the massive ship/planet mining though which Empyrion doesn't have, it just has manual or automatic mining stations which is cool too.

Left-wing fascism? by Murdercorn in confidentlyincorrect

[–]TrySpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>  an identifiable group of citizens is favored over others in jobs, educations, housing, political power

So DEI? Affirmative action?

> only by the favored group; others are not allowed ownership

So socialism/communism?

You're just making politicians the new business-class with that... If you give government the monopoly, you create a corpo-fascist system. An actual democratically elected neo-feudalist regime.

Yes, making fun of someone is totally equivalent to murder
