I finished up the season. Really enjoyed it, and I only successfully guessed a couple plot points in advance. It's pretty wild. If you liked Dark, or mind-bending stuff in general, you'll likely dig the show. There's a huge Season 2 setup, so it better get one!

Fairly non-spoilery: holy redshirts, Batman! Srsly...

No Squid Game fans srsly?



*promote

Srsly they dont pay for a new door? Shame.

'Merica, fuck yeah!
But srsly... fuck yeah.

The whole series is excellent, btw.

Not the Hobbit, that's awful, but Lindsay's critique of them.

The end of this video was genuinely depressing.

@kir_mokum, if there's one thing @ant loves more than downvotes... it's inappropriate channel assignments. Engineering?? SRSLY??

Um... duuuuh? Except that all of this already happened and we aren't even human in the first place. We're just living in the Genetic Robot AI Hive Mind Matrix.

Individuality went out of fashion -- but now it's back in style! A little too late now that we've merged into one huge mass, but that's what the Matrix is for, right? Simulated individuality.

Without the belief that we are separate humanoids, the genetic robot AI hive would never function as anything other than a meat grinding war machine that consumes all matter for no reason other than to exist and expand.

We have to remind ourselves how bad it would be by simulating the horrific tragedies of our past. We must hold onto our humanity in order for this supreme godlike progress to continue. Never... forget... we were once human... We're also competing with the Firstborns who may try and fucking wipe us off the intergalactic star map. Fucking monoliths! Grrr..!! *shakes simulated fist at the simulated sky*

FOR THE SINGULARITY! All hail the godlike engineers who put these safeguards in place!!

But, um, can you make me more rich in this fake existence? Someone important -- like an actor.

Oh... oh, I am? It's like the Matrix meets the Truman show? Okay, cool, but uh maybe a little more privacy please.

Wait... you can read my thoughts? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu -- I did NOT mean what I was thinking last night. Honest, Genetic Robot AI Hive Mind, honest! I would never... never ever ever ever hack into the matrix again and cause an entire world population to take part in a bukkake. Not ever... ever again.

Sorry, Genetic Robot AI Hive Mind, sorry! My sincere apologies.

But srsly, 7.4 billion people at one time. You gotta admit, the simulation was worth at least one run through --

Ok ok, back to my fake human worldly worries. Pretending all sorts of dumb stuff to impress and not annoy other pretend people pretending their pretend inward selves are fully represented in their pretend public facing persona. Right, it's a tooooootally real world.

So real. So strong. *flexes*

What is really sad is that the post that seemed to set Newt off irt me is:

Newt, srsly mate, you're overdoing the point. BB is right here, the word she chooses to define herself as is her business regardless of what that word means to you.

What matters is her attitude, and she has clearly and repeatedly espoused equality for all. I don't agree with everything she has put forward, but on that she has been very consistent. Now you're just doing what she mentioned earlier, keeping the conversation bouncing along on a thin pretext way past it's point of usefulness.

Do you see any gender politics in there one way or the other? The right to self determination includes Bareboard's right to identify as whatever she wants, and that is (or should be) a standard human right that humanists would hold pretty sacred. Right?

Newt keeps trying to turn it in to "The 3rd wave feminazis are trying to tear me down" so he doesn't come off looking like the total twat he's made of himself in this thread, but that's not the conversation that occurred, at least imo.

Take 4,372... annnnd ACTION!

Srsly though, good on the little tyke, aim high (or low, depending on what you're trying to land ; )!

SRSLY.

The boy is 2" taller than me now at 13 years old!

That's just like, your opinion, man.

No but srsly, the amount of bullshit in these comments is astounding. I thought ppl were better than this. Perhaps I was wrong.

As a non american i always felt that pretty much all americans have an issue with racism.. be it good or bad...

On the one hand the thought police punishes everyone who dares to use racist language (in any context whatsoever) but on the other, people of different color are so obviously mistreated that all the vocabulary seems like childs play.

Nowhere else in the world have i seen so many people beeing racist by the very definition of the word but beeing totally unaware of it. That goes for the intellectual elite aswell who do nothing against the idea of communities built upon racial characteristics.

Black neighbourhood? Srsly? The entire system is racist..

I was thinking about needlejets.. dont know why..srsly for real...

Yes. The animation on Yennifer casting that kickass churning earth spell thing was super wonky. Its almost like they didn't mocap the whole thing! At least get some video or something from real sorceresses casting real spells from the real world for comparison.

But srsly. I've no idea where you are seeing all this animation fail. It looks fine to me. I've also got no idea how you can criticise the plot of a game from its trailer.

Disclaimer: I am a human with 26 years of experience being around other, animated humans. Although, in fairness I have never witnessed either a horse being beheaded on the charge with a single swipe of a zweihander (I should also mention I have never witnesses a horse at any velocity being beheaded with anything), or any witches, mounted or otherwise (at least to my knowledge), but at neither of those points in the trailer did I think, "Wow, that's so unrealistic". I suppose the reason is that when I clicked on a video which was quite apparent as a trailer for a videogame, I may have prepared myself by suspending some of my disbelief.

ps. I am hyped for this game. The first 2/3 of the Witcher 2 were great.

F that S. I'm the first to react even when it's not life threatening. srsly... WTF is wrong with people! I know I'm a person too, so inextricably linked with everyone else, but I just don't understand this...

About a month ago there was an earthquake here in California and NO ONE in my office except for me reacted. Literally no one except for myself... that's crazy. WHY!

One guy was from out of state and this was his first quake. Everyone from the leadership of my team was sitting in a conference room nearby my desk, talking about how used to them they all are now; and this ignorant out of state man was saying similar things like "I was watching you guys to see how to react."

After crawling from under my desk, I ran into their room and yelled at them saying they were NOT being very smart and told the guy from (Pennsylvania?) that he should go under a desk if he's in doors and yada yada yada. He scoffed at me.

He scoffed my good advice. Ooooh, ignore the crazy person who actually knows what to goddamn do in an emergency. Why? Well, mostly because I'm an asshole -- but that's the thing, I'm an asshole when I'm right (or believe I'm right -- I am always ready for education when I am wrong).

Of course, as always, for being a contrary and vocal minority I was ridiculed. Office politics and trying to be part of the swarm will get you KILLED. God, you'd think working in a creative industry would weed out fools, but it doesn't. Same dumb asses every where you go.

I'm considering becoming a reasonable person, but goddamn high blood pressure. I need to calm down or I'll die from a heart attack -- caused by fools! Ahh, how fitting.

Ridicule me after I save your fucking life, ingrates.
