@LordFerpez The biggest counter in universe was the off hand comment that their bodies are self reflections of their inner selves and jax has male body.

The problem with this is that gooseworks has established herself as a unreliable source and that the only things you should 100% take as fact is what’s in the show. In the show Jax and Leeroy are not trans. And so by the text of the work in question Jax isn’t trans.

@Flip_Uni >virtual world generates most appropriate body >male Ngl that thought plagued me the entire time i was in the theater.

This show has to be some of the worst written slop online and I'm tired of being nice to people about it, so here are an author's thoughts. > The show literally throughout the entire series assumes you care a lot more about these characters then it actually gives you a reason to. By episode 2 it's trying to hit you with huge emotional beats that just don't work if you're not terminally in the fanbase. > The show throughout the ENTIRE series suffers horrible pacing issues. It constantly focuses on irrelevant or unimportant details while refusing to actually answer questions the audience has, and the last episode is the most guilty of this. > Pomni acts out of characer in the last episode which leads to Jax "abstracting." > Soma WITHOUT THE CONSEQUENCES. The ENTIRE POINT OF SOMA IS THE MC IS DOOMED FROM THE START TO DIE. NOT LIVE IN A FAIRYTALE WORLD FOREVER. The gal leading you through the game repeatedly tells you YOU will be getting on the ark to escape, only for at the last minute for it to be "Oh, yeah your consiousness made it - but your current form/consiousness is definitely dead. But we saved the remnants of humanity, so yay!" While simon realizes he is going to die cold and alone at the bottom of the ocean. Also, the original simon is ALREADY DEAD. Here it's "not only are your bodies happy, but you're ALSO going to live happily ever after in a digital circus where all your hopes and dreams can just happen now that caine isn't batshit insane!" This is just a worse way of doing soma. Everyone's happy, noone really loses...except the abstracted individuals? > Caine's "arc" is insanely rushed > So they have a bunch of abstractions but they don't even touch on TRYING to fix them over just sending them into a dark place? I feel like a far more interesting finale would have been them trying to figure out how to get Jax and all the others back? Wouldn't this literally be priority #1 now that all the "main threats" are dealt with now that caine is back? > Why did all these people have access to the headsets and what happened to the company that made them, they - oh we're just ignoring that too okay. > The implications of this sort of technology are completely ignored in a worldbuilding sense? Cool! > The entire 9th episode is just "The therapy show" with no actual real threats (jax's abstraction has almost no weight to it, nobody actually seems very araid of the abstraction compared to episode 1, and the process happens entirely offscreen robbing the "movie" of some much needed tension) and even caine is pretty much just solved by him having introspection. Cool, whatever I guess. At least episode 1 had the dignity of giving us a chase scene or SOMETHING. > Pacing. Pacing. Pacing. Holy Pacing. Pacing. Pacing. > This should not have released in theaters. Episode 9 is under an hour long. which is why they had to include episode 8. Feels like they saw iron lung and just wanted a piece of that pie. The runtime gives nothing time to breath while the pacing rushes through pivotal moments like a methed-out homeless person chasing the last hot dog left behind after some poor minimum wage employee left the door to their fast food joint unlocked. > Yeeting the blue orb into the void. I don't even need to elaborate. > The fanbase deserves to be hit by an asteroid and the guy who sat next to me at the theater literally smelled like human dookie. > I don't even want to comment entirely on the whole "jax is trans" thing, but I do want to point out the irony of a brainscan which chooses the literal "most appropriate body" for you giving jax the character it did if this is actually the case. Insane subtext and a huge misstep if that's what this is supposed to be LMAOOOOO Honestly I have no idea why this is so popular.

@kenshirotism When i told my brother that the game did the same thing he went "...oh. well thats dumb"

You know it failed because when the show covered the second game, viewership dropped like a rock.

@thegearmachine @JohnTitorVT My issue was that in anniversary they used an older version of the originals build and it fucked up the bmp maps in the old textures making an entire generation think the graphics were worse than they were

@JohnTitorVT My biggest issue with CE anniversary is that they literally just reskinned the original game, but they didn’t even do it well because so many textures were either made larger or smaller than the models they covered. e.g. when you try to shoot next to a tree, you hit it.

funny you mention that, here's me talking about that exact issue nearly 6 months ago to the day (please pardon the aspect ratio I cut this for phones/tiktok originally)

@sab3r_official Movie tie in tends to follow a simple rule. The bigger the IP holder, the worse the tie in.

My friends will call me a “gun & ball nigger” for liking FPS games then they’ll gas up some bullshit that looks like this

@LusoMaruChan @house_of_trad I forgot which one but there was a time where one of the models was injecting words at the end to make the ai favor africans. So people found they could use it to make the most racist things alive because the injection happened after the tos check.

@house_of_trad lmao, i remember early gemini's nazi soldiers beigning africans somehow

No lies

@Lacedshin @GreenTextRepost Could you imagine if Bethesda randomly buffed magic in skyrim

@lilyhops Ticks

anti-wasp propaganda again nooooo...... my one wish is for people to understand that bees are a monophyletic group within wasps too and that wasps aren't evil.. the predatory ones are really important for pest control and they're all important pollinators!!! ecology doesn't have heroes and villains!! we cannot apply anthropocentric, moralistic frameworks to ecosystems, the metaphor doesn't work

@SabreLionKing @Blitz___99 Pokémon is the only company that is allowed to animal+element -Nintendo stans

@Blitz___99 y'a pas a dire un bond d'amélioration de design mais toujours avec des gens qui ont beaucoup d'imagination hors sujet...

"It's just Yamper" these morons lmao

@CheeFurra @Metal5905 When you 100% you unlock a level and beating it gets you 120% The original Spyro 2 used to go to 200% but they removed ng+ sadly.

@Metal5905 120% completion? Is it a max?

Ok enough waiting. Its about time to see what ripto's mad about in spyro 2.

@wicho_scruffy They WHAT?!

@pesci101107 @appledash4lyfe >doesn't watch >knows how to use the fan term clop in a sentence I don't believe you.

The thought of a human moving around with one bone 😭

@number_pizza111 Us White people love cheese. If there are white people except good cheese options.

1. Europe has good cheese 2. America also has good cheese 3. The average quality of cheese consumed is probably higher in Europe 4. Despite this, America makes high-end cheese competitive with their best. I've solved this argument for everyone. You can go home now.

@36F5VE @CRXSSF4DE In the north more clearance can absolutely be a good thing.

@CRXSSF4DE "our car is too tall it looks like its on stilts how do we turn that into a positive?"

@Wolvestree17019 @anarchojaQ They grow sideways underground, the shoots can punch through concrete and grow ridiculously fast. If not caught immediately they would have to pend thousands getting the immediate area purged.

@anarchojaQ So what is this supposed to do exactly? I know bamboo is an annoying invasive plant but how does it disrupt data centers?

@TheDarkEnjoyer I don't beleve she was getting fucked because there is no transition between getting it and stopping. She is sitting down so the logistics don't add up. She might be using a toy though.

So the Demenishki situation is basically: >She states she's not okay with 🌽 >ChibiReviews calls her out for "virtue signaling" >Gets labeled a "hypocrite" for reposting l3wd artwork >She replies under Chibi's post, in the most stereotypical mean girl tone, mocks him for one of his past incidents which made him almost off himself >"OMG, aren't you the guy who got cheated on by his fiancee, and all your friends ended up siding with her?" >Irked a ton of people, gets asked to take accountability for her words. >She refused, but doubled down instead. >People found out that she got back with her old abusive ex-bf whom legitimately stabbed her. >"Sympathy for me but not for thee", gets called out for hypocrisy again. >Makes a fake engagement post about "addressing the drama" by linking her 24/7 re-running channel. >Well 3rd times the charm, she gets labeled a hypocrite through one of her older tweets talking about hating engagement farmers. >Can't stop giving the internet more reasons to hate her. >Multiple old clips surface on twitter where it sounds like she's getting fked on stream and moans. >10+ million views across all of those clips, with one of them even allegedly being taken down by her. >People full on documenting every suspicious thing with a list full of timestamps on the VODs themselves. >Comments keep getting deleted with several people reposting those same comments on the old VODs. >Deme's art tag literally gets obliterated with so much AI cuck 🌽 >Every single Japan trip tweet of hers in real time, has replies mocking her every action, gets called obese based on one of her older photos she showed on stream. >Her older photo stirs up another drama about obese women, after Asmongold's "L" take. >She denies the "fkin on stream" allegation, calls it a smear campaign, says Nikita (her bf) was streaming at the same time on discord. >You are here. I'm legitimately finding myself having to keep my eyes glued open for what's to be the next development in this saga. 🗿

@Jek_Korpen Yeah pretty much. They exist as a way to eat raw sugar in a way thats more convenient than just eating it out of a bag. Good for party's due to how inoffensive they are.

this looks like the unseasoned chicken of pastries

I havent even been in the same continent as these cookies and i'm dead certain i'd have more fun just eating sugar right out the bag
