@TomFewhlery @TheCriticalDri2 And now the Odyssey discourse has shown that the right has become the same

@ViralNinja @TheCriticalDri2

Lol, you actually think I wrote this? I don't even use Reddit.

@ProXcontent You have wise yes, you have Athena's eyes

She has pritty eyes 👀

@ViralNinja @TheCriticalDri2 Reddit is for leftie terrorists and botnets.

@TheCriticalDri2 "how dare you associate me with the community I created"

Trying to associate me with the opinion of some random Reddit user, as if they're all extensions of my consciousness, is just pathetic.

@Def_Not_Dan @TheCriticalDri2 He does use reddit, that's why he deleted his original post.

@TheCriticalDri2 Should be allowed to sue people for accusing you of using Reddit. It's basically slander.

@erikkain One of the most interesting things about the post-release discourse around The Odyssey is that it has shown who has strong opinions but is open to new information (judging the film for what it is having seen it) and those who are commited to the bit at all costs

Matt Walsh is too stupid to actually understand the geography of the Mediterranean. But worse than that, he is too much of a propagandist to care about art. For Matt, politics will always matter more than art, and that is deeply sad.

@therealcliffyb It's impressive, but there's a warmth and charm to an old picture, taken in the technology of it's day, it tells a story. We millennials took this for granted, whereas younger generations buy old cameras to recreate that feeling they've never had.

I know AI is the hotly debated topic these days, I get it. But today FB memories showed me the first picture of Lauren I ever posted of her (and, sadly, the only oyster she'd ever eat) and I said "let's see what Grok can do to upres this" and voila. Gotta say, pretty impressive.

@bigpoppa519 @JaylenBrid8394 @xmaggiepiazzax Another loss for accountability

Am I fucking missing something because that’s not Jennifer Lawrence.

@AI_EmeraldApple Oh hey look, another grifter

After watching Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, I actually hate the movie. It is an attack against the West and the founding ambitions of the modern world built by ambitious, morally imperfect people... much like many "modern" films with a cheap patina of sophistication. In Nolan's framing, Odysseus’s ambition, cunning, and willingness to do brutal things are something that's deeply "problematic" and has to be vilified. He then turns it into something that disqualifies him at the end of the movie from leading and requires self-exile, which is a major departure from the original story. The West was built by people like the Odysseus types. That ambitious competition with ruthless violence, where many rulers were deeply imperfect people... The West conquered, innovated, and grew into the power that it is now. Greek citystates, the roman empire, Renaissance, age of Exploration, the scientific and industrial revolutions needed that unapologetic, untamed ambition. Nolan turned Odysseus into a broken, complicated man with PTSD, war trauma, and guilt over his men dying that needed to "end". Telemachus is also changed from the original story into a more immature character who never gains full independence or maturity to fight alongside his father. Penelope is given more agency over him in the film, often scolding him for his naive nature, and never gains "wisdom". Then, at the end of the movie, Telemachus kills Melanthius but only plays a supporting role at the "climax". He never becomes a "man" like the original story. The crown is then given to Telemachus as a message of generational reset that frames the more problematic Odysseus, the symbol of the West, as needing to be pushed out for the more morally clean "son" to take over. The world is not a place where someone with clean hands and good intentions can hold power. People have tried it throughout history, and those who were "clean" were precisely the ones who became corrupted and became the tyrants, or were killed by more ambitious men. They become the weak, feckless rulers that often precede major atrocities. Nolan's version of Telemachus is exactly that "boyish," naive leader who would fall into that trap who are unprepared for the darkness that real leaders had to contend with. After the movie "ends" Telemachus will get eaten alive in that world. Historically, "weak people" like him were put as puppet figures so that the ruthless can enact their tyranny. While the movie acts like this is a "good ending", those who know history know full well that this is a bad ending. Naive Telemachus cannot hold the throne, and dark times are ahead. The perfect Western man is a man whose light is in balance with the darkness. Those who carry the trauma and the evil side, and yet choose the good. Those who are good, and pretend to not have the dark are precisely those who are the most dangerous, as they think they can do no wrong. The West was not built by saints or by men who self-exiled after winning... it was built by men who won ugly, sometimes really dirty and brutally, and kept going, creating... For example, George Washington won ugly, killed many British men brutally, and caused many of his men to be killed. He was a morally imperfect man who owned slaves, used deception against the british empire, and formed alliances of convenience. In the end, he created a foundation for America, only after which he let a new person lead... that core still surviving 250 years later. In Nolan's version, Odysseus just left and ran away, reframed as some noble ambiguous atonement. Oh, and let's not forget the massive issues with the costumes, casting, setting, design etc... but that's just a secondary issue at this point.

@BungieStore Was there any update on this?

@BungieStore Hi, I don't see an option to send you a DM, but I was looking at shipping to the UK.

So lifelike. Just like you, Runner. Claim the Renaissance Runner Codex Challenge in Marathon by successfully exfilling as Assassin, Destroyer, Recon, Sentinel, Thief, Triage and Vandal during Year 1 and unlock the Felini Plush Bungie Rewards for purchase on the Bungie Store. 🐈marathon.bungiestore.com 🐈marathon.eu.bungiestore.com

My Marathon Collector's Edition finally arrived* and it's probably the coolest collector's edition ever. @MarathonTheGame @MarathonDevTeam @Bungie @BungieStore *Shipping dates were a little delayed/fuzzy, but it got here in the end

Was also able to make a cool Night Marsh diorama using the packaging and the built in LEDs. @Bungie @MarathonTheGame

@_g0dspeedd @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore Same here! A happy ending at least!

@ViralNinja @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore Mine has just arrived !!

We've been made aware of an issue on the PlayStation store where players could purchase the Deluxe Edition of Marathon at a mitigated price if they added Marathon to their library during the Open Play Week. Purchasing the Deluxe Edition this way does not include the base game, and we've updated the PlayStation Store messaging to clarify. For those of you that made this purchase before the messaging was posted on the store page, we'll be granting you the base edition of Marathon at no additional cost. This is in addition to the Deluxe Edition content. More info on timing will come soon. Going forward, please note that if you've downloaded Marathon during the Open Play Week but have not purchased Marathon, purchasing the Deluxe Edition upgrade will only grant you access to the Deluxe Edition content for the duration of the Open Play Week, after which accessing this content will require purchase of the Marathon base edition. The price of the Deluxe Edition upgrade on the PlayStation Store reflects only the Deluxe Edition content add-ons, not the base edition price.

@_g0dspeedd @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore Oh you got a time, nice! I don't have a time yet but mine is also at the Midlands Super Hub!

@ViralNinja @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore Same here royal mail says “ 9:30am - 1:30pm “ and is at midlands hub so hopefully it comes

@_g0dspeedd @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore Apparently mine is being delivered tomorrow now 🤞🏻

@ViralNinja @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore Ill let you know if when/ IF mine arrives. Thank you for the update

@_g0dspeedd @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore As an update, despite being told it should be 7-10 business days on Friday, I've now been told it's shipped and sent a tracking number. I wish us both good luck.

@ViralNinja @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore I emailed them and asked for an update and got “ begin shipping early next week” and “ is in the fulfilment queue and should be included in the upcoming shipment”. Did you get anything back ??

@_g0dspeedd @MarathonDevTeam @BungieStore Only that it is "expected to be shipped in the next 7-10 business days", I queries why it's being advertised in stock but not shopping for nearly a month, "we can't offer compensation for the processing time, as order fulfillment depends on inventory and demand."
