1997 was the year of Linux on the desktop.
Also 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023
2024 baby! I can feel it.
I have no idea, it was one of the most vapid, least memorable movies I’ve seen.
Edit: and I completely stayed out of the hype bubble for Avatar as well, completely avoiding all exposure to it unless completely inescapable. I finally watched the movie for the first time 6 months ago, I can honestly say it was among the worst pieces of shit I’ve seen in 10 years. And the CGI and overall design of the world was weak.
This is a movie I totally stayed out of the hype bubble for.
I literally watched it the very last day it was in theaters, I think it had an 8-month run.
3 out of 10 movie.
Oh no dinosaurs!
Oh we’re safe…
Oh no more dinosaurs!
Oh we’re safe again!
Dinosaurs!!!
… That’s the movie.
Weird how nobody had “genetic obesity” during the time food was more scarce and the daily caloric intake was half of today’s.
160 kg at 180cm would have this man touring as “The world’s fattest man” 100 years ago.
Something to think about.
I agree.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s the modern, absurd extension of the stage makeup concept, taken to the extreme.
My ex-wife was a professional dancer, and her stage makeup made her look absolutely insane in person. But under stage lighting, it looked amazing.
Sometimes I wonder if cosmetic surgery was initially incorporated as something that would bring more popularity or work to an actor, because it would make them look more striking under the absurd, unreal lighting conditions of tv and film.
And that this has gotten completely carried away. Especially now, since nearly all cinema is greenscreen with scenery digitally added later. Which brings a tremendous amount of lighting incongruity, so we end up needing block-like, exaggerated, un-contoured faces, slathered in 42 layers of stage makeup, to look “proper” under these conditions.
I don’t know if this is totally out to lunch or not.
These are neither popular opinions, nor unpopular opinions.
They’re not even opinions. Your personal taste preference is not an opinion.
The same way you fix a car, first you figure out what’s wrong, then you fix it.
I gave up on DoDonPachi. Same thing, 20 years of just grinding and sticking with it, even did the classic “final final true boss has one hit point and I choke” move.
Now I’m 49, my reactions will never be what they were when I was younger, the dream is over.

It’s like you didn’t read the article, and are specifically focusing on a one-dimensional argument while you can conveniently ignore the greater issues at play.
Go and read your own comments, in fact go read the article, and please try to come back with some meaningful thoughts.
I’m with you my friend.
Personally I can’t even relate when I hear people talking about how a game made them cry or how it changed their life.
Writing in games is largely trash. Vapid and expositional, cliche-driven pablum.
Even The Witcher isn’t good.
Oh no, it seems to predict everything perfectly.
You just have to accept that the known universe is actually a 5D holographic projection on a the inner curve of a 7D frisbee that is floats through an unbounded, dimensionless 11D space that can somehow also expand.
Edit: also that there are infinity solutions to every problem. So tidy and elegant 😌
The hilarious thing about the crackpot index is that almost ALL of it applies to credible physicists.
Physics is in a really dirty place right now, where fundamental “truths” are exploding before our eyes and the “religion” of established physics has become inertial to real growth.
We still have people who will not accept that deep at it’s core, SR is broken and QM has torn off the mask of illusion. We have new JWST data that shows the Big Bang probably never happened and the universe isn’t expanding the way it has been previously thought.
Physics is in a sad place right now with people talking about multiverses and other abhorrent mystical nonsense. Oh, we can’t currently probe at sufficiently low resolution / high energy… that means it must be magic /s
String ‘theory’ is mental masturbation for mathematicians.
Hmm… nothing in our model or math makes sense… I know… let’s just jam all the artifacts into a dimension that cannot be measured. Ahhh… look how elegant it is!
Same thing when I see people crying over their country’s team winning an Olympic medal.
Get a grip - You didn’t do anything except be born in the same geopolitical boundary as the actual athletes. Perhaps one 50th of a penny of your tax dollars contributed to the team athletic funding.
I used to think loud trucks were cool, and then I turned 8.
I completely agree.
If there’s one thing people will not do to make a situation better, it’s to actually get up and do something themselves about it.
Especially if it requires that person to give without expectation of directly receiving something in return - never mind the concept of “be what you want the world to be”.
Not with void-heads like you trolling and clogging the place up with useless bait posts.
I hate to tell you this but we don’t want you here and we don’t necessarily want a million, please go away.
Would I get a tattoo, no? Do I like them on others? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
I have never thought that they were particularly creative, if anything I always felt quite the opposite.
That feeling was confirmed when I was invited to a tattoo expo with a friend, there were perhaps 70 exhibitors, and all of them had the exact same or highly derivative trendy designs, and I think two of the exhibitors had unique art. That really said a lot to me.
