a review perfectly aligns with my feelings about Project Hail Mary

@ThePrimeagen visuals and performance peaked at unreal engine 4 everything looks and runs worse on UE5

One thing I miss about the 90s and 2000s and the part of the 2010s is that every 2 years tech just got better. Games looked remarkably better, the systems you would buy would be significantly better. Honestly at this point I can barely tell the difference, performance wise, for the last 5 years.

@muichimotsu @Ron_Christian55 choosing to kill your child is not a humane decision it would make sense in the story if she would be turned into a supervillain and Mark has to defeat her to save the world

@JustHaldor @Ron_Christian55 Point where any point in this was framing the decision as "heroic" and not a human decision within a context that is only removed from reality in that the person in question has powers that were affected by the pregnancy. Which she's still not really using, btw, afterwards

I find it absolutely ironic that in a show that is supposedly about SUPERHEROES, about people who are meant to rise above normal human weakness and stand as symbols of hope, one of its central characters, Atom Eve, goes and has an abortion. And from everything that’s implied, that was Mark’s child. His kid. And he didn't even get a say. He was apparently… absent. And her response to that situation is basically, “Well, this is hard, so I’m just going to end it.” Let that sink in for a second. This is a character who is framed as compassionate, empathetic, morally grounded. A HERO. The kind of character we’re supposed to admire, look up to, maybe even feel inspired by. And yet when faced with the responsibility of protecting the most innocent, defenseless life imaginable—her own unborn child—she doesn’t rise to the occasion. She doesn’t fight through it. She doesn’t struggle and overcome. She doesn’t even try to embody that heroic ideal. She folds. Immediately. Because it’s difficult. Because she might have to do it alone. Because it would change her life. That’s it. That’s the line where her “heroism” just completely folds. And I’m supposed to sit here and accept that? I’m supposed to still see her as a hero after that? I’m supposed to root for her like nothing happened? No. Absolutely not. Because at that point, what even is the definition of a hero anymore? If someone who has the power to save lives on a massive scale can casually decide that the most vulnerable life imaginable isn’t worth protecting, then what are we even doing here? What’s the message? That heroism only applies when it’s convenient? That saving lives is optional depending on your personal circumstances? And before anyone jumps in with the usual defenses because I already know they’re coming...save it. I don’t care about the “context.” I don’t care about the “emotional complexity.” I don’t care about the essays explaining why it was “a deeply human decision” or “a realistic portrayal of struggle.” I’ve heard it all before. It’s the same recycled talking points every time something like this comes up. People bending over backwards, twisting themselves into knots, doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics just to justify something that completely undermines the very foundation of what these characters are supposed to represent. And that’s really the bigger issue here, isn’t it? This isn’t just about one character. This is about what modern “superhero” storytelling has become. Shows like Invincible don’t just tell stories—they go out of their way to tear down the idea of heroism itself. They take pride in it. They revel in it. There’s this smug, almost arrogant tone of “Look how mature we are because we’re deconstructing everything you used to love.” And what does that “deconstruction” look like? Ultra-violence. Endless gore. Heads exploding like water balloons. Limbs getting ripped off. Blood sprayed across the screen like it’s trying to win an award for how shocking it can be. And then on top of that, moral decisions that completely gut the idea of heroes being something aspirational. It’s like the show is actively allergic to sincerity. Like it can’t stand the idea of heroes being genuinely good, genuinely selfless, genuinely inspiring. Everything has to be twisted, darkened, or dragged through the mud in the name of being “realistic.” Being cynical doesn’t make something deep. Being brutal doesn’t make something meaningful. And tearing down ideals doesn’t make you smarter than the people who still believe in them. It just makes the whole thing feel hollow. And I look around and I still see people watching this. Still praising it. Still calling it “peak superhero storytelling.” And I honestly don’t get it. I really don’t. Why? What are you getting out of this? Is it the shock value? The gore? The constant subversion for the sake of subversion? The characters making decisions that completely contradict the idea of what a hero is supposed to be? Because from where I’m sitting, it just looks like people have been conditioned to accept this kind of thing as “normal” for the genre now. Like this is just what superheroes are supposed to be broken, compromised, morally inconsistent, and wrapped in layers of blood and cynicism. And if that’s the case, then yeah… I’ll pass. Go ahead. Defend it. I know some of you will. Go ahead and stutter through your explanations. Pull out the think pieces. Do your triple-axel somersaults of mental gymnastics to explain why this is actually brilliant, why it’s “nuanced,” why it’s “important storytelling.” Convince yourself that this is what heroism looks like now. But don’t expect me to buy into it. Because to me, this isn’t bold storytelling. It’s not deep. It’s not inspiring. It’s just another example of a genre losing sight of what made it worth caring about in the first place and expecting the audience to applaud while it happens.

@M3T1CULOSO @Ron_Christian55 choosing not to kill your child is not a difficult decision

@JustHaldor @Ron_Christian55 At what point her having a abortion is depicted as heroic? It's literally traumatic to her, it's not treated as an act of heroism, just a difficult decision. Jesus you people are actually braindead

@verbalriotshow thank god i stopped watching after first season

So while Mark almost dies out in deep space fighting a war to protect the fucking planet, Eve not only doesn't tell him she's even pregnant, but gets an abortion then tells him about it when he gets back... and Mark is the one apologizing to her?

@Variety plan is to sell her likeness to ai ai will pump out ms. congeniality sequels util the end of the world

Sandra Bullock says we have to make AI "our friend" and "lean into it": "It’s here. We have to observe it. We have to understand it. We have to lean into it. We have to use it in a really constructive and creative way, make it our friend rather than — I mean, we have to be incredibly cautious and aware of it because there are people who will use it for evil and not good. But I do feel that there’s a place for it… it’s here. We have to just be friends in some dark way." (via CNBC) variety.com/2026/film/news…

@ALegendaryDrops hope it gets better competition good personally I hate epic so I support steam and gog

Finally, for the first time, I can agree with IGN.

@Ryvnhll yes, we need to normalize recasting of beloved characters

As a diehard LOTR fan, I can get behind this. He can act and ACTUALLY looks like our beloved Viggo (who, let’s face it, IS sadly too old to reprise the role). Let’s not bite the hand please when it finally feeds us.

@asaio87 it's a useful tool in the right hands

I am amazed how good Claude is and yet is so far away from human intelligence.

@BlueThunderReal what is the point if it does not have any relations to the game expect the tile ?

Seeing all of these tiktok movie reviewers criticize Zach Cregger's Resident Evil because the trailer "didn't feel like Resident Evil" lmao it's wild to me that people don't understand that Resident Evil's corniness works as a video game, but absolutely does not as a movie, as evident by the 6 previous terrible attempts. A director like Cregger reimagining the IP in his own unique horrifying vision is exactly what a Resident Evil movie needs

@RMBee insane dune 3 releasing same weekend

This analysis is absolutley SPOT ON. But, as always, while I'm VERY excited for DOOMSDAY, and have been since last November (for very good...reasons), the proof is always in the final product. Again, for me at least, they HYPE is READ. I've adored all four AVENGERS films...

@Pirat_Nation damn looks too good

The first gameplay trailer Medieval first-person action adventure RPG Alkahest has been released

@asaio87 it's the viral topic of the day need strike when iron is hot

People have gone crazy. Some people here on Twitter write articles based on Claude Mythos, yet almost nobody aside from anthropic themselves and a few guys have tried it. people, you need to wait and test it. dont take everything as they give you

@asaio87 i still haven't seen a legitimate use case for openclaw

Openclaw is dead. Anthropic just killed it by forbidding Claude code usage with third party tools. But you can get it to use other AI. When I used it I use open ai api. It’s true it didn’t do a good job. Was mediocre at best. But I really doubt the issue was because I didn’t use Claude code api.

@asaio87 my point being if you know how to code current ai models are very useful and you don't need to pay for premium to use them for your hobby projects

@JustHaldor very well, we are all glad.

Have you noticed how amateur vibe coders say they launched 3 apps already but when you ask them what they are , they don’t answer anymore ?

@asaio87 I didn't pay anything build it with the free tier on vs code very simple apps just fetching data from a free apis showing some tables and charts they run on vercel also free tier

@JustHaldor Nice. It’s like instead of buying a proper car you build your own bicycle and say it’s exactly what you needed.

@ATRightMovies Friends

@MateiCananau @MrEwanMorrison have you checked Lofi Girl on youtube ?

@MrEwanMorrison I know! I love ambience but it is so hard to find actual good ambience. The ones being pushed on YouTube are AI generated ones and they get so many views.

Generative AI is destroying the market for genuine ambient music on YouTube and the music streamers.
