It's amazing how I've been a simmering ball of rage and disappointment for the last three-odd years. And it still keeps getting worse.

@puppycelebrity There's also the perennial issue of getting caught in a load screen while in combat, and the enemies load before you regain control. Which becomes a big problem if you're relying on autosaves
English
@puppycelebrity I don't really care, BUT
It can lead to a number of weird bugs due to the state refreshes on load, activators being misplaced, coordinates being inconsistent, and so on.
On the second point alone, transitions being flat activators makes it easy for them to clip into terrain

i feel like you shouldn’t be able to criticize this unless you can explain why it’s bad without using the words “immersive”, “outdated”, or “realistic”

The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 are confirmed to be running on the Creation Engine This means they will very likely both still require loading screens when entering Interiors. I think this is one of the biggest weaknesses of Bethesda games, it really does feel outdated…

@ReviewsPossum I don't have to want to kill you personally, or even hope for your death abstractly, to be happy when you're gone.

@silverdukington They would have to try really hard to find a more ironic example, tbh

The best part is the original post is about SCP-8980, which has a clinic tome through because the entire concept is that it’s an Ethics Committee report into an alleged SCP, and it uses that for horror. I’d argue it’s a pretty good example of a clinical SCP.

>Goes on the website of a writing project
>reads a narrative
>”WHY IS THERE A NARRATIVE IN THIS WRITING PROJECT?!?!!??”
SCPs with stories have been around for a very, very long time, even if the stories aren’t directly part of the article. SCP-1730, for example.

@Lucayou7 >Go to the SCP website >Ask the author if it's a clinical SCP or a storyslop SCP >Author doesn't understand >Pull out illustrated diagram explaining what's a classic clinical SCP and what's storyslop >"It's a good SCP sir" >It's storyslop
English
@VMaxx004 @Lucayou7 But that isn't the case here; that the subject was dehumanized and reduced to an object is the entire point of the article. It's an interesting interrogation of the blitheness with which we treat the "humanoid anomalies" we read about, and how much can hide under that facade
English
@VMaxx004 @Lucayou7 I do enjoy SCPs that are just things clinically described, with all the horror coming from the implications rather than it being a horror story, per se, and do find it annoying when the SCPs the articles are allegedly about are mere MacGuffins; that's explicit Tale territory
English
SCP-8980 is an extremely well-written article and a horror masterpiece. That being said, for my own mental health, I never want to read or experience it ever again.
English
@sentantiq The salient point, though, is that the Iliad and Odyssey are the surviving members of a much larger collection of works, which we know about mostly from snippets, summaries, references, and story elements that had enduring cultural relevance.
English
@sentantiq The other books absolutely existed and were known in the classical era, unless Herodotus and Aristotle were full of it (well, more than usual).
The idea of them making a canonical Cycle is a probably an invention of late antiquity, though
English
The Epic Cycle did not exist. It is a creation of post-classical scholarship.
𓌵@phendetta
No one talking about The Odyssey on here has yet mentioned that it & the Iliad were only 2 books of a larger 12 book cycle, and we’ve simply lost the other 10.

@arctotherium42 He wasn't even demonized, he was just mocked
He had a tiny face and said a lot of stupid shit. He was a joke.
Then some wignut killed him and the right decided he was a hero. And got really angry when we continued laughing at a dead clown
English
This is wrong. Kirk was not a particularly hated figure before he was killed; he was seen by Redditor-types as a goofy meme figure of mockery (see below, from 2023). He was only demonized by lefties *after* he was murdered, to retroactively justify the assassination.
Frank Wright@frankwrighter
The character assassinations of Hope Not Hate are the preamble to the actual assassinations of counter liberals - like Ann Widdicombe and Charlie Kirk. Find out how this poison machine has come to power in Britain in my report on Social Contract Killings: (Link ⬇️ free to read)

@notbenfish Because I'm an endlessly boring person, it's actually kind of both.
They were still recognizably people, but shaped very differently by their times and cultures.
Like they wouldn't blink at slavery, but refusing to host a guest would be unthinkable

a good half or so of pre modern historians think this way about emotions in the past and the great thing about literature is that it tells you that those people are insane
jon repetti@pourfairelevide
I want an Odyssey adaptation (and an Odyssey translation) that makes you feel in your bones how profoundly different the archaic Greeks were from us. Basically space aliens. Nolan is just fundamentally not interested in that kind of estrangement.

@Lucayou7 No shade to the Abnormalities works, but sometimes it really is scarier to spell things out a bit more clearly. It guides the imagination down the right paths, makes the implications more concrete and disturbing
English
@Lucayou7 It is kind of darkly humorous that stuff like this, or "A man at the top of his profession", or any Fire Suppression Department stuff, hits so much harder than any of the supernatural horror.
It's really funny when you compare it to any Department of Abnormalities works

@mitsuritwt This show was great because of how profoundly it subverted expectations.

@ATXVideos @northmountaing1 So your proposal for stopping illegal immigration is to destroy everything that makes this country great and desirable?

@Lucayou7 I'm not sure 3812 was even conscious for most of it.
But Talloran *was*.
English
Enough with SCP powerscaling. From now on, we’re doing SCP traumascaling.
Who had it worse?
SCP-3812 or James Talloran?
English
@Lucayou7 I understand what happened, how it happened, but I still don't get *why* he did it.
And that's probably a very good thing for my mental state as a whole.

@goldensflowers No bro fucking don't
That shit hurts

begging anyone who sees this to read 8980 like hoolllyy shit

@chefmade_92 ... Yeah that tracks actually. Good insight on his part

Nolan cast Travis Scott because he said hip-hop is the closest modern art form to how the Greeks told oral history.
