What's wrong with Newpipe?

Good. I hope that sleaze Pitchford loses a mountainload of money on this. I absolutely hate the guy, he's a liar and a thief. And arguably, depending how you look at it, a pedophile.

As a short reminder: Borderlands was originally meant to look like this. Then, at the MTV Asia Awards 2006, an artist by the name of Ben Hibon premiered a neat-looking animated short by the name of Codehunters. You can see it here. Witchford saw this and wanted to use the artstlye for his new game. He and Ben had a back-and-forth for a while and then, radio silence.

2009 comes around and Pitchfork's new game Borderlands is released. And to say that it looked familiar to Codehunters would be an understatement. Kitschford, being an upstanding and virtuous citizen that he is, straight-up aped Codehunter's style. No discussions or agreements were made with Ben and as such, despite Borderlands becoming hugely profitable, Ben didn't see a cent. And that is why I will always hope for the Borderlands IP to crash and burn. Or, at the very least, for someone to actually pay Ben Hibon for (unknowingly) creating the game's artstyle. Anyway, rant over, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Suits me. I have a ton of movies and TV shows to catch up to.

James Cameron's Titanic. It's marketed as a romantic film, but the moment you start looking at other aspects of the movie, it just seems stupid. The antagonist is so cartoonishly evil, it's a wonder they didn't give him a mustache to twirl.

And then there's the ending. Oh dear lord, the ending. Spoiler warning and all that: at the end of the movie, The Titanic s(t)inks and the passengers try to get to safety. Rose finds a floating door or something to stay afloat and finds Jack swimming in the freezing ocean. Then Jack makes the most non-sensical decision in the entire movie: he sacrifices his own life for no good reason. The plot frames it as a necessary sacrifice, but it totally IS unnecessary, because there was enough room on the stupid door for two people. And then we flash forward to the present, where Rose is old, but still has that gem she wore throughout the movie... and then she tosses it into the ocean. WHY.

Basically the plot boils down to: two young people have a fling on a boat and then the boat sinks. It absolutely did NOT deserve all those academy awards it got that year.

That's sounds rather unhygienic.

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 26 points 9 months ago

Okay, what do social dynamics and personal hygiene have to do with console players and triple-A games?

There are a number of thing stopping me from yogacoding, most have already been mentioned. Also, I'm pretty sure the lady in the picture is doing jack shit on her laptop, unless she has a screen mounted on her crotch.

Thanks, I was feeling a little too happy today.

Aesthetically? Hell yeah. Functionally? I am not taking a sword that can run out of juice to the battlefield.

Let me just check out the window real quick. There may be flying pigs.

Oof. Shots fired. Good. Unity could use a couple more salvos.

Wow, this is wildly unacceptable. Why in the hell would a car company need the user's immigration status? Or genetic information? Or fucking sexual activity?! I hope somebody sues these asshole companies.
