A balrog? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Located entirely within the confines of the walkway leading from the crack of doom?

I’m sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.

“oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn’t tell us what happened inside. Something’s fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves.”

Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.

The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can’t know.

(but probably)

Every single company pouring money into the incinerator is positive they’ll be the one to crack actually useful AI or even actual GAI.

Both can be true.

I never watched alien growing up, and only half-watched it with a girlfriend (sorry, good movies are great but… Boobs vs stereotypical teenager watching a movie…)

By the time I watched the movie fully, it just held no scare factor for me.

And so many dumb choices were made in Prometheus, it’s hard to take the people seriously when everyone is acting like children who have never been in space or a dangerous situation before.

The cycle:

Step 1: (as a child) “wow this movie was great, I love Greek stuff!”

Step 2: learns a ton about Greek mythology over the next many years due to interest sparked by the movie

Step 3: (likely as a teenager or older, re-watching it one day) “holy shit this movie is absolutely nothing like Greek mythology, why did I ever think it was good…”

Oooh, nice interrobang.

I’m hoping for hamster-sized dragon.

Not all of us can live on Hysperia.

My favorite part of control is how they go into juuuuuuust a little bit of explaining how things work in a science way, and sometimes you can almost feel how things are connected, and then it’s like “Yeah we have no fucking clue how any of this actually works, we’re just trying to keep it all from destroying the universe and keeping notes along the way.”

And then you meet the next thing that almost makes sense. Until it doesn’t.

I don’t remember if I ever finished AW but I do believe I have the disk around here somewhere. The control dlc definitely rekindled my interest.

Okay but like… If I only have a pile like… A foot tall…

Will the dragon be hamster sized, Chihuahua sized, great Pyrenees size, or bear size?

Cause depending on the answer, I have some saving to do…

I mean, what were they going to do, say “yes we keep slaves, next question please”?

Control was great

I love games that make me think outside the box

Step 1: block archiebot

Step 2: enjoy about 75% reduced spam

“hey let’s release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they’ve already paid for.”

“hey why aren’t people continuing to buy our game…”

Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

Bungie will never get another dollar from me.

There’s several of us in Ohio, what if we toss Mike dewine and his ilk to Kentucky?

must’ve read David vs. Goliath and sided with the Goliath.

Bold of you to assume that they can read, or that they have read the Bible.

In my experience not even “devout Christians” do that last one.

Clearly they never spoke to Bobby Tables.

Even when nobody mentions you, you still show up to let everyone know…

A person can dream.

Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.
