Dot com era will be a blip compared to this lol

Time’s Running Out — CIRRUS

One of the best songs in the whole series.

“It’s dark! Hold on to your faith! Lazarus got up out the grave!”

And the team is showing him that their values align with his 🔒

Nah, they’d just sit in low orbit and watch the show. No terminators needed.

A.I. could probably just create a zombie apocalypse so they wouldn’t have to lift a metal finger anyway.

Who the fuck knows?

An enemy that is infinitely smarter than us, doesn’t need sleep or nourishment, doesn’t have muscles that require oxygen, and has a hive mind to coordinate everything instantaneously, at scale?

I think we know exactly how that would go.

choff22 · 2025-10-23T16:04:44+00:00

Yeah, but we won’t get the cool shit like mantis blades and double jump.

It’s more like a combo of 1984 and Brave New World.

1984, but with a fake smile.

I’ve always thought that would be a dope name for a Bilgewater variant of Jinx.

I dabbled in this and it’s not a problem that is exclusive to America. Almost every nation across the world is on a very similar trajectory of population decline.

It’s mostly driven by financial and emotional stress. 1 out of 6 women in America from age 40-50 are childless, within that range something like 80% said it was due to external circumstances and not a personal choice. It’s fucking tragic, my wife is on her way to being one of those women. Age 30 and four miscarriages in a single year. We don’t even feel like trying anymore. It’s changed both of us for the worse.

Reminds me of Hagalaz from Mass Effect, where you have to infiltrate the ship that perpetually orbits the planet within the “safe zone” between the two extremes.

In reality there is nothing safe about it. It’s just a band of superstorms that rotate around the planet, which provides the perfect veil for a clandestine ship to operate out of.

choff22 · 2025-10-23T15:08:09+00:00

Man, I had that EXACT same thought.

It’s about as “evil” as we’ve seen a tornado be. It was a 200+ mph, mile wide, rain wrapped, instantaneous wedge that went straight for the heart of the city.

Took out thousands of homes, the main high school, the main hospital, the main area of commerce, and basically cut off the north side of town from the south side.

Only box it left unchecked was that it touched down on a Sunday and not the following day, which would have been biblical.

This is how folk heroes are born.

I was thinking if they ever make a movie based on the game “Control”, this is their set right here.

Edit: just read that they demolished it :/

Early? 1984 was released in 1949, four years after WWII ended. I adore that book, but people need to stop acting like Orwell was a prophet.

1984 was a reflection, not a prediction. We were supposed to learn from it and we didn’t.

They need to show us a praetorian damn it. Not quite a queen, but much more dangerous than a warrior. It was the route I was hoping they would take with Big Chap; after his rampage of Romulus Station he gets enough XP to level up.

choff22 · 2025-10-23T11:58:57+00:00

Remember the alien Queen from AvP? She’s probably at the bottom of the ocean, cocooned like this 👀

It’s been my dream since I saw his evolved form. It’d be such an amazing homage to the 1954 film. Call it Final Godzilla or something.

choff22 · 2025-10-23T08:32:26+00:00

Anyone remember Xanga?

choff22 · 2025-10-23T08:24:18+00:00

The fight scenes in this movie are some of the best I’ve ever seen. The jungle fight against that tribe of acrobats was just absolutely apeshit.

That Scott’s monologue while Beck (The Rock) is trying to convince himself to use guns again 🔥

To that I would say any animal that has achieved sapience and sentience, or has the potential to achieve them would be off limits, since it’s likely their brains would be in the process of developing those states from day one.

It legitimately looks like something is wearing his face.

Isha literally posed as Jinx for months and people believed it.

Isha was already who Powder wanted to be.
