  • yeah a hawaiian shirt and jnco jeans obvs

  • unfortunately deep rock galactic locks some of its best gameplay elements behind aeons of RNG grind, if you haven't already I highly recommend just using a save editor to give yourself all of the overclocks lmao

    the scout has some of my favorite movement mechanics in FPS history between the shotgun's special powder and the m1000's hoverclock, shit is like liquid crack and some of the shit I've pulled using them would have gotten me thrown into prison if this was a just world

  • it's the scale pattern being inconsistent amorphic blobs, the underside of the tail being on the side of the tail, and the inconsistent and asymmetrical blobbiness of the dragon's horns and eyebrow (you can even see a point where the AI couldn't decide where the eyebrow ridge ended and the pupil began)

    that and general lineart weirdness a human generally wouldn't commit, like the thin line randomly coming off of the thick line on the neck pattern

  • no this lawyer straight up bought AI slop from someone

  • in the article they said they bought it for 20 dollars

  • interesting, i wonder if his character was less of a bad parody of an anarchist in the original version

  • haven't seen S2 yet but the saw gerrera scene in season 1 is so fuckin good, dude spoke straight facts i dont even care if the show was trying to say "look >:( rebel infighting baad!!!! this radical's ideology is getting in the way of the success of the cold and calculating liberal protagonist!" when literally every concern he brought forth came true lmao

    gareth edwards absolutely wasted forest whitaker in rogue one to a comical degree, glad he finally got a good part in Andor

  • quickest tl;dr i can do:

    game's two main enemy factions, the WLF and the seraphites are clearly based on the IDF and Palestinians respectively. The IDF analogue are written to be dicks but a somewhat rounded depiction, the Palestinian analogue are a bunch of super religious cult members that marry their daughters off to their elder men and exile and try to kill their trans kids.

    writer of the game is a zionist liberal that felt ashamed at the fascist anger he felt back in the 2000s over IDF settlers being killed in self defense, so instead of doing self crit about that he was like "ill show the gamers they would have been just as mad as me!" and manufactured the sequel's narrative to be like ::: spoiler spoiler joel murdered -> bet ur mad about that lol -> second half of the game you play as enemy -> wow wasnt their anger justified and your anger justified as well??? -> cycles of revenge bad mmkay story set upon the stage of the IDF and Palestinian analogues :::

  • china positive comments upvoted in a ezra klein subreddit and the xinjiang social credit propaganda slop was downvoted?

  • it's awful, the game clearly seems to be trying to make the usual shit liberal zionist "both sides bad!!!" fable, but then the portrayal of the seraphites is so bad and fascist that you clearly see the writer doesn't even believe what he's trying to preach

  • after a two second google search the etymology is mostly unknown but guessed to have originated in the US navy in 1940's as a shorter replacement of whatchamacallit

    gizmo -> gadget you don't know the name of

    gadget -> any mechanical or electronic device

    i think if you get really pedantic you could consider a bag a mechanical device, like you're applying force to it to group and hold object(s) at a lower center of gravity than you normally could. I don't think most people would consider it mechanical but eff the haters y'know

  • kneecap go on hexbear

  • Defederation from feddit.uk - info enclosed and feedback requested

  • defed gang keeps winning uphold socialism in one lenmy thought

  • masterstroke: warhammer lore reeks now, the setting takes itself too seriously and isn't enjoyable satire anymore, and if they released women space marines in 2002 they would have just said "The Lost Primarch Guineverus brings her cyberglaive to the empire's aid as Amazis Prime is released from the warp along with the previously thought lost Venusian Geneseed, buy our new figures to fight for the empire" or something instead of this weird beating around the bush to appease the unironic nazi ass fanbase

    not that the setting wasn't always cryptonazi with the tradcath aesthetic but the pandering has become real and any pretense of satire or goofy elements has pretty much been abandoned

    RETVRN to dawn of war 1 cutscenes, franchise fuckin peaked there
