Reinstalled Subnautica with a bunch of mods.

So I have this really severe phobia of baleen whales, have all my life. I turn into a crying snotty mess, it's bad. It's even happened a few times scrolling on this site! (People post funny memes that my lizard brain takes as a threat).

My bf was surprised to see me installing this. Had to explain that it's only regular underwater scary, and that nothing in the game could be nearly as bad as a a typical "inspirational" image of our irl sea monsters.

Monsters are vegan but only if they aggro you first.

Spec Ops: The Line was pretty good but the white phosphorous scene felt a little forced to me. Like, you have to use the war crimes weapon on a group that as a player you're thinking "nah I could probably sneak/shoot through that" and the game doesn't let you make the choice of not massacring civilians. For most of the game when you do something awful, you the player are doing it because you have John SpecOps's warped perspective, but then the game gives a big "do an obvious war crime" button and forces you to push it to proceed.

They gave the concept a good try though.

Nah he's a baby. There are pics of him just a few years ago "owning the libs" in his freshman college classes.

Idgi, Xi doesn't look very much like Винни-Пух

PS5 got rid of themes. That one jazzy song from persona 5 used to be the Theme to Babs's Bf's Apartment, but now the best we can get is a spacey wooommmeoooom.

Apparently guitars are just like bicycles - picked mine up after almost a decade and still remember most of my old favorite songs.

I don't like the actress they have for Wang Miao and I don't like what they did to my boy Da Shi, but the show has the budget to actually pull off some of the crazy sci-fi fantasy bullshit depicted in the books. The Panama scene was cool. The sophon unfolding was cool. Eventually Netflix is gonna have to spend a squillion dollars trying to depict the dual-vector foil and that's gonna be sick.

I am enjoying the show while nitpicking about all the details. Like all your criticisms ring true to me, but also last night I got to see a much cooler version of that one scene from Ghost Ship and I know the weird sci-fi stuff only gets better.

I've been saying for years that anyone should be allowed to make a Spiderman. Let's bring back low budget capeshit that barely resembles the source material. I want a variety of spidered men for all tastes. Most would be absolute garbage but some of that garbage would be awesome and there would still be some interesting shit.

But also, if anyone can make a superhero movie, that could be a step towards taking the capeshit out of capeshit - superhero movies suck because it's the same couple studios just copying each other for over a decade and preventing innovations (good or bad).

What do you think Russia is going to do when they win this war? I'm not seeing how one right wing state is better than another for anarchists. If anything, shouldn't they be fighting against the state that is celebrating nazis?
