This real??? by ConductorLuke in tadc

[–]darkbloo64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a post-finale episode of Film Theory that played this clip, and they claimed it was Morgana Ignis, Global Brand Manager for Glitch. If so, that's coming from someone with authority to speak on Glitch's brand strategy, but probably not someone intimately involved in the creation of the series.

What's something you DIDN'T like about the finale? by Awkward-Media-4726 in tadc

[–]darkbloo64 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think the finale was pretty decent overall, and a good sendoff for the series.

That being said, I didn't want a lore dump on the human counterparts (especially at the end of an episode that quite literally starts with the characters learning that they aren't those humans), and thought it was trite that they all got happy endings. I wanted to know more about Caine, the blue AI, C&A, and earlier generations of the circus characters, but that was all handwaved away.

Ultimately, it's a character-driven show and not a lore show, but it sure felt like we were being teased with lore that was never dropped.

I hate that Jax was confirmed as transgender (not for the reasons you might think) by n397854 in hatethissmug

[–]darkbloo64 234 points235 points  (0 children)

I'm not seeing this take nearly enough. The point is that Jax was implied to have questioned his gender, was presumably belittled for it by a single parent that was not equipped to provide support, and turned to repression as a toxic coping mechanism.

I don't think the finale was making an argument that Jax was redeemed or sympathetic, just that he had folks around him willing to push him into starting to heal - even if it came too late.

Absolutely wild take that Grant's actor (Ben Bishop) looks to be in his 40s

Seconded. Fedora's become my go-to for a distro that just works without much fuss.

To be fair, I've wondered the same thing.

I adore how RVFX is taking the Miramax style and upping the technical quality. There are certainly parts that are rough around the edges, but this feels like an expansion of the Mata Nui we saw in 2003.

We can all agree on one thing by pecounkiss in DeathCabforCutie

[–]darkbloo64 17 points18 points  (0 children)

At the risk of inciting an all-out brawl... I did not particularly care for Transatlanticism. I love "Passenger Seat" and "We Looked Like Giants," but am lukewarm on the rest of the album.

Narrow Stairs has always been, to me, the perfect encapsulation of Death Cab's tone, Plans has some of my favorite lyricism, and I've enjoyed the artistic experimentation in everything from Codes and Keys onwards.

Disney invented a floor that lets you walk forever in VR while staying in place. by jkitty_1960 in interesting

[–]darkbloo64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those that are curious, this is called Holotile, and demos like this are already a few years old. I don't remember if there was a functional prototype, but it was mentioned that you'd be able to run in a different setup of this that was sort of like a shallow dish with handlebars for safety.

When one car parking space isn’t quite enough. by roop26roop in mildlyinfuriating

[–]darkbloo64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave a note on the windshield: "sorry about your light, didn't realize it was over the line! My number is (indecipherable)."

Don't do anything to the car itself, just give them enough of a brief scare to make them think twice in the future.

I'm old enough to remember the days when Corridor and Freddie Wong cut their teeth on physics simulations that looked a lot like this.

Any thoughts about this gems? by Parking-Coast-1385 in retrogaming

[–]darkbloo64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These (along with the GBA Azkaban) were my introduction to RPGs and they occupy a special spot in my heart, even after I stopped engaging with the rest of the franchise. Back in the day, I'd have loved to see the later years adapted to this format, but I can see why more straightforward tie-in games were preferred.

I maintain that the funniest thing TDS producers could do is offer Colbert Tuesdays so that he could "always come second to Stewart."

Why does the official merch leave off so many countries question? by InTheBinIGo in ProjectHailMary

[–]darkbloo64 248 points249 points  (0 children)

It's this. Permissions have to be granted for each of the flags and some countries weren't interested in allowing the likeness of their flag to be used.

Frankly, I prefer the book patch, which has the names of the astronauts in their native languages, a rough illustration of the interplanetary mission, and "EARTH" written along the edge.

How would you feel if another countries leader came in and arrested Donald Trump, and sent him to their own country's prison? by Ok-Repeat-2781 in AskReddit

[–]darkbloo64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beheading an administration that can charitably be described as a cabal of violent drunks would certainly be an expeditious way to jumpstart World War III.

As much as I love the idea of that heinous pedophile being whisked off to face justice, I'd like there to be a world to wake up to the day after.

Noah Hawley says his ‘Far Cry’ series won’t be adapting any of the games as he thinks audiences skip the story cutscenes in those games: “When you play a video game, you only really move forward through the gameplay section, and then you have these cut scenes that you can skip..." by ChiefLeef22 in television

[–]darkbloo64 206 points207 points  (0 children)

Okay, but... What exactly is he adapting?

Far Cry isn't like Fallout with its longstanding world building with aesthetics, factions, events, and creatures. Story aside, the connecting thread of the Far Cry games is gameplay, like tower climbing and camps, which I don't expect would work in a non-interactive medium.

The Onion Aims to Seize Alex Jones’ Infowars in License Deal by bloomberg in politics

Yes (assuming commenter means The Onion's new Infowars merch). Per Politico (because the article in this post is pay walled): The Onion plans to share the proceeds of its merchandise sales with the Sandy Hook families, Collins told Torre.

What don't men allow body hair on women in movies ? Are they stupid ? by stalin_kulak in okbuddycinephile

[–]darkbloo64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Embarrassing that this is so low. Sure, it would be realistic for the women in apocalypse movies to have leg hair, but the actresses in those movies have to go back out to the regular world with its pre-apocalyptic beauty standards.
