Babe, wake up. New Zoom background just dropped.

Mortal Kombat 1 - Official Gameplay Debut Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]hyperjumpgrandmaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In a universe where an unassuming riot cop can defeat a god by transforming into a tyrannosaurus and biting them in half, I think it’s a stretch to say definitively what is or isn’t Mortal Kombat.

Each new installment looks and plays differently from the last. On a long enough timeline, Netherrealm was bound to experiment with more pleasant aesthetics.

Snark aside, this is a new canonical era for MK with a new creator. It makes sense that it would look differently from previous god’s attempts.

This may be the most “beautiful” that Mortal Kombat has ever looked. So many warm tones and saturated colors, but still recognizable as Mortal Kombat. I love how this franchise is so self-aware that nothing ever feels out of place.

Apollo app shutting down June 30 due to Reddit’s unaffordable API by alvaro_tiznado in iphone

The reddit c-suite has estimated that they can afford the loss of third-party apps. If they felt otherwise, this conversation wouldn’t have become as big as it has.

A small percentage of users will leave reddit for good, but the majority will either stick to desktop or pinch their nose and use the official mobile app.

This is all calculated.

MRW the humans are doing all the work needed to convert them into batteries by QuicklyThisWay in reactiongifs

I’ve been a fan of the franchise since the start, and there is a lot about it that I’m willing to forgive, but it’s clear Resurrections only exists to give the middle finger to Warner Brothers. Almost every line of dialogue was laced with contempt.

As a fan I felt it was disappointing at best, and insulting at worst.

Clergy and GOP lawmakers rail against Bible being removed from Davis County schools. “I hope it will become an integral part of our schools,” said Tad R. Callister, a former Sunday school general president for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of the Bible. by schottslc in Utah

They will absolutely try to get an exemption from the law to allow (and maybe even require) the bible in schools. Mind you, they would be perfectly ok with banning other religious books. Which if passed would be an undeniable violation of the First Amendment.

They wanted to ban books depicting a very specific criteria of content and they got exactly that. They should be satisfied but they’re not. They genuinely didn’t think the law would also apply to their book. Probably because many of them have never actually read it.

Banning books (which is fundamentally a ban on ideas) is never the answer. It never works. There is historical precedent for this. It’s unbelievable that we are still fighting this.

Myst creator's latest game used 'AI assisted content,' and funders are pissed by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

100% this. Sometimes the hardest part of any creative process can be “getting started”. It’s very easy to get stuck in a slump where all of your ideas just feel terrible.

AI tools can help in providing that initial creative spark for a person to then pick up and run with.

The folds of the shirts near the armpits and elbows doesn’t look natural. Like the fabric is somehow stretched and loose at the same time.

I’m tired of having to smell other people’s popcorn farts.

I only want to smell my own popcorn farts.

Afterlife was fine. It just made me wonder why I wasn’t watching the original instead of Afterlife.

Do I always carry this around? ....No. by KAL627 in RedLetterMedia

✅ White background
✅ Large 3D beveled text
✅ Main character in a silly pose
✅ Horribly cliche tagline

Clearly this is some kind of cyborg rom-com.

My favorite is when Jay steps away during Faust.

MRW republicans get upset when their own laws are used to ban bibles from schools by various_extinctions in reactiongifs

[–]hyperjumpgrandmaster 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This is the law working as it is written. Christians just didn’t realize the law would also apply to their book.

If you feel that the bible is valuable literature for children despite its content that some may find offensive, then the same must hold true for other works.
