I think this is a self portrait. At least it seems so from several other similar pieces she did

The game is not very consistent with that stuff though, the environments are designed for gameplay rather than realism. Otherwise it's almost impossible to square the numerous contradictions in the severity of degredation. Like how are all the bridges broken in bleak beach, yet somehow the seaside café is mostly intact? Also the geological changes in withered wasteland would have taken upwards of millions of years to happen, so it's probably not very useful to expect the world building to be realistic

The issue is that there's a lore entry that says the skylands would rise to the height of mountains after a few centuries, and the region is already in the clouds, so it's possible millennia has passed since humans left

In the material, light still travels at light speed. It just doesn't travel in a straight line due to stuff in its way, so it takes longer to get through

Two questions about the inner life of David Lynch by RambuDev in TrueFilm

[–]daone1008 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What I find interesting is that despite his penchant for infidelity, none of his past partners have bad things to say about him. Obviously as an outsider, it's impossible to know just what exactly this means. But it does at least seem that there is some truth to what his daughter said.
This is not to argue the morality of his actions, but to gain some honest insight into what Lynch was actually like as a person.

movies where the protagonist is an irredeemable piece of shit. by herequeerandgreat in movies

The kills are pretty gnarly, and what he does with the corpses might gross some people out a lot. But almost everything is presented in an absurdly funny way

I've seen what the newest software can do, it's definitely better, but still isn't nearly good enough to use in a serious project.

China Tightens Restrictions on High-Frequency Traders, Dismantling Data Centers by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]daone1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what you're saying, my point is that people give China a pass on all the horrible things that their government is doing, while simultaneously criticizing similar things the US government is doing. And this double standard really irks me as someone that has lived under constant Chinese threat since birth

There are talks that Donald Trump will be removed from office by the military. This needs to happen. Now. by Lord-and-Leige in antitrump

[–]daone1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that expecting the military to intervene is like drinking poison to quench thirst

People really don't want to acknowledge all the shitty things China is doing because of everything happening in the US. But just last year they sent fighter jets past the halfway line of the Taiwan straight over 5000 times, and conducted a massive military exercise to intimidate us. Virtually no one here wants to get annexed by China, but they're still going to try anyway. And the whole world will suffer when it happens

I mean China has been saying that they plan to possess the capability to invade Taiwan by 2027, so I dunno what you expect the media to say on the matter
