PRAY TO THE ELDER GODS

Gives Event Horizon vibes
Is this the film that could be mistaken for a warhammer 40k prequel?
Yup. Feels very much like Warp Travel pre-Gellar field if you put that lens on it.
Ha, I never thought of it that way.
Also, actual black hole event horizon vibes.
I'm so afraid of this movie.
The dread and despair is so real.
Ahhh you fear the same things I do
I still remember when i watched as a teen. It was airing on TV and I was like "sweet, a sci fi space movie!". I was really enjoying it but then the horror starts... I was so freaked out but couldnt stop watching.
Omg right!
Have you read Sphere?
No, tell me more!
Currently read the Dune series, just finished Children of Dune and will start God Emperor of Dune tonight.
Without spoiling, it challenges your entire conception about what consciousness and life are. It's definitely an Event Horizon kind of horror mind fuck that sucks you in. (Except it's a book so that feeling continues for days lol)
I never read any Dune. Always wanted to. My mom picked up the first one for me, used, somewhere, when I was little, and I stared at it on the shelf for decades.
Will put it on the list to read after!
Dune seems tricky to read as a child/teenager, it starts to get philosophical as the story goes on.
I was into that as a kid. Into the Evil Empire analogies
why is there a black vertical bar in the bottom image. who takes seperate photos like that?
There are four ~~lights~~ images
I'll never understand why people worship Picard, when he couldn't even count
I once looked into the eyes of a Mountain Gorilla in the wild. He stared back at me with a gaze slicing right through my soul. It felt old, wise and above all, very intelligent. He was on to me. It made me feel small.
If you’ve ever experienced that, you’ll never question that gorillas and humans are very close cousins indeed.
That gorilla had a reverse Bigfoot sighting that he still tells the story of to anyone who will listen.
"saw the ugliest fucking thing yesterday, it was like a person but tall and lanky and it was like all its hair went to the head! scared the shit out of me, but i just looked that motherfucker right in the eye and they eventually scurried off, thank god"
Dissect him how I may, then, I but go skin deep; I know him not, and never will. But if I know not even the tail of this whale, how understand his head? much more, how comprehend his face, when face he has none? Thou shalt see my back parts, my tail, he seems to say, but my face shall not be seen. But I cannot completely make out his back parts; and hint what he will about his face, I say again he has no face.
-Moby Dick, Chap. 86: The Tail
Looks like an AI generated picure.
More likely it's edited to shit
A little background story
Beautiful pictures but a sad story. She (the whale) was killed by a boat a few days after the pictures in the op and article were taken
That's exactly what an AI would say...
