@Giodude1580 @criminalplaza Happens that way in the books as well. This excerpt is from the flash back in the book where we learn he was forced to be the Hail Mary's science specialist. It's the same shock in the book, only more emotional and intimate imo.

@criminalplaza I do really love the book version But as someone who hasn’t read the book, it became a bigger shock watching it play out, I genuinely was under the impression he willingly went after thinking for a while, but to learn he was drugged n everything was crazy

project hail mary spoilers::::: i wish they had kept this dialogue in the movie. both were great but the book version was soul crushing

@Ozzny_CS2 It's almost, ALMOST, like CS fans are the biggest cry babies in the entire competitive gaming scene. Screaming, crying, pissing their pants every time anything changes even before they've even tried out the changes themselves. I'm fucking tired of it, and I bet the devs are too.

Now that it's been a week since the Reload update, what do we think of it? I'll start: most over hated update of all time considering how little changed

@DeeVect @Nohte I mean, yeah, having good stats in low tier lobbies isn't the same as having the same stats in level 10 faceit at this guy's level.

@Nohte Similar stats to those in my 15k premier lobbies 🥴

This guy might be cheating too, dunno

@VisualFidelity Artistic intent matters no matter how "bad" the game might look. Art is subjective, but AI reduces everything to the same level of dog shit. It looks awful. Absolutely terrible. Realistic maybe, in some ways, but the AI artifacts sure aren't very pleasing to the eye nor realistic

I still can't believe people rejected Starfield DLSS 5 upgrade to retain "artistic intent" You really think this was the developer's artistic intent 😂

@BoatScarecrow @Robotbeat Yeah, but we never get to see Grace know that. I don't care about earth nearly as much as I do about Grace and Rocky. That emotional payoff is the final peak of the movie, and I think it's really important to the story and Grace's character.

@SpankeyMcCheeks @Robotbeat In the movie they instead flash back to earth receiving the Beatles and preparing to use the info. That's a fine way of showing it

They improve the ending compared to the book, too. (The ending in the book works, but it would be kind of a downer if translated literally to the screen.)

@madinthemoon i remember watching this scene for the first time back in 2012 and thinking "is ned dumb? that guy's name isn't 'baelor'?"

“what’s on your mind?” me 24/7 for the last several weeks:

@CreatorJonwPuck @HarlysCorner Even a broken clock is right twice a day, right? So what you can replicate certain specific pheomena, during very specific conditions. It all falls apart when the conditions change. That's the difference between this bullshit and the scientific consensus.

@HarlysCorner No moron that’s just the sun shining into the ice above container living

That's just a fucking moon. Jesus Christ, I just can't handle more retardation like this.

@omarjr742013 @ParasiticEager2 not understanding smear frames and intentionally warped visuals to convey momentum, speed and impact, exhibit #241

@ParasiticEager2 unmatched

K1RO is unparalleled

@WatcherontheWeb This WOULD be a great "gotcha", if it weren't for your president also having been president of the "raping trafficked children club" on a certain island with a certain New York financier...

You are German 1: The age of consent in your country is 14... 2: Your previous governments literally adopted children to pedophiles ON PURPOSE Sit the fuck down

@KCharlesRoss @Robotbeat As I mentioned to you in another comment, yeah, I get that. Age Grace up 20-25 years and include the scene like it is in the book. Perfect ending.

@SpankeyMcCheeks @Robotbeat In the book Grace has aged something like 25 years. Movie Grace looks to have not aged. Assuming it took about the same time for the Beetles to reach earth as Grace/Rocky to reach Erid, 40 Eridani is 16.5 light years away. Grace would have to be 20+ yrs older.

@KCharlesRoss @Littoral_Gecko @Robotbeat Yeah, I get that. Wish they wouldn't have, though. This movie does NOT need a sequel. Age Grace up 20 years and include the scene like it is in the book. Perfect ending.

@SpankeyMcCheeks @Littoral_Gecko @Robotbeat In the movie not enough time has passed (based on Grace’s appearance) for earth to have fixed the sun and the sun’s light to have traveled to Erid. It felt to me like the movie was holding the door open to a sequel.

@llollygaggin @yacinehowlett Not to mention the Citadel plot-line with Sam. It'll be intrinsic to the Euron plot line in Winds, probabaly

@yacinehowlett Exactly, the absolute 360 on Ellaria and the sand snakes and then the complete removal of Arianne is CRAZY. They also fucked up the Greyjoy plot too.

considering removing GOT show from my serializd top 5 bc how can you fumble the Dornish plot like that

@Littoral_Gecko @Robotbeat i think the emotional beat present in the book when grace finds out sol has returned to full luminance really should've been there in the movie too. making grace feel like it was all worth it, his and his crews' sacrifice.

@Robotbeat What do you mean? Like the book not showing earth? I think they both work. I liked the vague but positive ending of the book. But Stratt is a more full character in the movie, so it felt right that there was an extra scene with her.

@Mcheitiheitison @Robotbeat someone didn't understand the whole point of the movie

@Robotbeat I really didn't like the ending. He should have gone home when they fixed his ship. Setting up communication between the planets would be a massive achievement.

@barkmeta bro openly admitting he'd turn around in the street if his phone vibrated. what a fucking self own

Let me explain what a $2 billion “cow collar” actually is 👇 They put an AI collar on a cow. It tracks location. Health. Movement. Behavior. Every second of every day. A farmer opens an app. Draws a line on a map. That line becomes a fence. No physical fence. No wall. Nothing visible. When the cow gets close to the boundary.. the collar vibrates. The cow turns around. Within 10 days the animal doesn’t even test the boundary anymore. It just stays inside. 700,000 animals are already wearing them. They called it a “cowgorithm.” They want you to laugh at it. Now read the technology again without the word cow.. 24/7 GPS tracking on every individual. Real time health and behavior monitoring. Invisible boundaries drawn from a phone. Movement controlled through vibration and sound. Subject learns compliance within days. $2 billion. And guess who led the investment… Peter Thiel. The same man who built Palantir. CIA backed surveillance from day one. The same man who just got a $10 billion Pentagon contract to run AI inside the military. His entire career is building systems that track and control. Now he’s funding a collar that does exactly that. They’re not investing in farming. The farming is the test… Most people have no idea what’s coming…

this is literally you

@alexroussx @gutsylivv Very true

@SpankeyMcCheeks @gutsylivv And what I’m saying is that a lot of obsessive virtue signalling AI posters make it very clear in their phrasing that they genuinely believe water mass is lost, which make them look like misinformed idiots even when the concern is justified.

let's ban tiktok

@alexroussx @gutsylivv AI "consumes" water in the sense that the data-centers and training clusters use fresh water for cooling. That water doesn't just disappear, of course, but it is being taken out of the usable pool (pun intended) of fresh water for the local population to use.

@gutsylivv I’m not even sure who this is supposed to mock, half of anti-AI twitterites unironically believe AI consumes the water

@AnimexTwts It's okay. The animation is great, but the story and characters are all very dull.

This anime is underrated asf
