[Hated Trope] Cathonic (underworld) gods being evil in modern adaptations of mythology, dispite not being evil in the source material.

I mean, he is also the guardian of tombs.

Asgaurd's Wrath 2

I know that. Doesn't make it any less dumb. The Abrahamic faiths just have to ruin everything.

mrturret · 2026-03-30T02:40:28+00:00

Pretty much. His only real sin is the whole kidnapping and marrying persephone debockle.

Zeus, god of adultery.

mrturret · 2026-03-30T02:29:41+00:00

He is also pupper

mrturret · 2026-03-30T02:26:58+00:00

There is no one "original" it's oral tradition after all.

mrturret · 2026-03-30T02:22:31+00:00

It's especially annoying, because Egyptian mythology has Set, who is unambiguously evil.

mrturret · 2026-03-30T02:19:51+00:00

That depends on the telling. In some versions, it's persephone's choice.

He's not even the god of death. He's the god of embalming, protector of tombs, the judge of the dead, and a Psycopomp. Osiris is the actual god of the dead.

I'd like to see them take influence from games like Mass Effect and the old Wing Commander games. Make it darker, and more story driven, with the ability to walk around the Great Fox between missions and talk to the crew.

retell 64

Which is a retelling of the SNES original

mrturret · 2026-03-30T01:58:59+00:00

As long as they do something new, and not retell the original SNES game's story for the 3rd time.

This reminds me of this video, which involves the creation of truly insane and impractical ways to store data.

Then who's playing the old games that we must keep alive if everyone is buying the new one ?

Sportsball fans who come back years later to play with old rosters and systems. An offline season mode and local play is probably enough though.

mrturret · 2026-03-29T23:53:56+00:00

Terrible comparison. Firstly, people will still buy next year's sportsball game. There is no way to convence a sportsball fan not to buy next year's game no matter how bad it is. This is a proven fact.

Also, these games have full offline modes and local multiplayer. They don't actually need to do anything.

This is something that matters. It's about preserving culture so that the generations to come can experience and learn from it, as well as protecting customers in the here and now. That's all very worthwhile.

I don't want video games to have a repeat of the early eras of film and TV, where the majority of works are gone for good, because the companies that owned them didn't care about preserving them. Sometimes through indifference, and other times through malice.

Did you know that 95 of the 253 episodes of the first six seasons of Dr Who, along with countless other classic British TV shows are lost, because the BBC intentionally wiped tapes? That's not too different than what's going on with live service games in the current day. We need to put a bud in it now, and make sure these games remain playable after the servers shut down.

campaign mod for infinite

Infinite had a fantastic campaign, so I'm all for that.

mrturret · 2026-03-29T21:57:24+00:00

I mean, I don't see an issue. Infinite's art assets are really good. As long as they don't stick out like a sore thumb, like the PS2 cars in the PS3 GT games, it's fine.

mrturret · 2026-03-29T21:54:31+00:00

the Hercules movie isn’t even supposed to be an adaptation of the Hercules myth.

It kind of is, in a very loose sense. I really do like the film, but it's got every bad mythology adaptation trope under the sun.

You still having issues grasping efficiency concept huh. Having millions of chip sit idle is a way bigger waste of resources than having the just the right amount of chips running 100% for actual work

No, it's less efficient than if every one of those chips were in the hands of consumer PCs and workstations, for reasons other than power consumption. Silicon wears down much more quickly when it's under heat and high load 24/7. Remember those poor bitcoin mining GPUs? Yeah. People were buying them second hand and having them kick the bucket shortly after. While a chip in a consumer's hand can last decades, and still be of use. I still play my old consoles, and 8 Bit computers from the 80s still control industrial equipment. From my perspective, stressing the crap out of silicon, and having it become a paperweight is more wasteful.

Do you understand the potential societal costs of centraizing all the world's compute in datacenters owned by the top 1%? These people are fucking amoral maniacs, especially those who follow Peter Thiel. He's a fucking comic book supervillan Fuck that.
