@Truthful_ast Destin won

You just know they’re fuming in their Discord servers right now

@streetsofrogue I can't wait to play this! And to be clear, I can wait, take your time man, I know however long I end up waiting will be worth it

A sneak peek into the 🐊Sewer and 🪦Crypt dungeons. Currently grinding away on the dungeon environments - adding art & tuning the procedural generation system.

@Yamnayanage That's Norm Macdonald on the left

A looksmaxxer's journey.

@ask_berglund @DemocraticStats They're opening new FTL lines so we can jump straight from Merak

@DemocraticStats Are we not taking Merga 4 first?

🚨🚨SUPER EARTH PREPARES FOR LANDFALL ON CYBERSTAN🚨🚨 "All ships: align coordinates for Cyberstan. Prepare for the largest singular FTL event in Galactic history." As of right now, 1310 SEST, 50 minutes remain until the first diver steps on the Cyberstan System.

@owenbroadcast Reminds me of this video by a guy who looks at the Avatar movie from the perspective of modern philosophy. And yeah, the conclusion he reaches is that Jake died in the first movie. youtu.be/wZ05JFvJY-Q

the concept of "transferring minds" is interesting because we all take it as intuitive, because it makes logical sense, but to square it with the present modern conception of the mind and self is extremely difficult. it makes sense intuitively because what is being transferred is something like a soul or spirit - you can even see this in "science" style cartoons - rick and morty, futurama, whatever: someone uses a device to transfer themselves into another body. most people wouldn't say it this way, but what's transferred is really "the self" - the spirit of that individual. if you attempt to square this with modern conceptions of the mind, you end up in a really bizarre place. at best, in the modern worldview, "you" are patterns in your brain, and something like the continuation of your physical self over time. so, what is transferred in this modern cultural trope? the physical brain isn't transferred (this usually isn't the case, it's always via some high tech device with rays and light and electrodes and such things), so, that's out. that just leaves the patterns. this means that in situations like the below example, you're ultimately seeing a kind of trick: there's "the girl" - her brain is turned off, or something (this is really something like death), and all the patterns we associate with her (her likes, dislikes, worldview, inclinations, talking style, and so on) are then perfectly reproduced in another mind. this means that, really, when you're looking at any popular media that features something like transfer of consciousness, from an atheist scientific materialist perspective, the initial person is basically killed, and a reproduction of their mental patterns is artificially induced in another mind. that's what "the transfer" of an individual actually would be in that paradigm. but, no one sees it this way, because we all intuitively understand that something like "the soul" exists, and that's what would be transferred in such a situation - even if that's antithetical to the worldview we're pretending to inhabit.

@NRActual The only thing wrong with this mod is that it's not available in the in game mod manager

The aspie screeching this post got is really funny to me. I have to give this mod a try

My friend Shazbot who doesn't use twitter made this and asked me to share with everyone who likes Avatar

@MachDominus It's pretty obvious that you're supposed to root for the people defending their home and their ancestral way of life against the megacorp that would consume anything for shareholder profits. Engaging in this kind of fan fiction is the only way to make the megacorp somehow right.

Why am I seeing people compare Eywa to the Gravemind from Halo and the Brethren Moon from Dead Space?

@Avatar3F There was never a doubt in my mind

Fire and Ash doing better than Way of Water for its second weekend! We gotta be getting Avatar 4 now!

@SofaMods Holy kino

Intro test for the "Theatrical Cut" (version for Youtube video); more linear and spectacle-oriented than I was originally planning, hopefully still playable though (although not in line with what I was originally hoping for).

@ShitpostRock Kerbal Space Program 2

@Heliotrophy @memeslich Funny you would say that, cause there's a character who is kind of John Baldur, and there's a scene where he does open his gate... That's tied to an achievement actually

@memeslich My favorite part of the game was when John Baldur opened his gate

human male fighter longsword time to game 😁

@tayestel From what Max and Norm said I think it's more like part mushroom

is spider lowkey part tree now

@theoceanblooms Notice how when she says that the squids don't attack Spider. The stripes are working. He really is one of the People.

KILL ALL SKY PEOPLE

@avatarsequelsbr I'm not crazy right that looks exactly like Neytiri's face

@Lala_Ronallover When Q shows up to the CIC in full Mangkwan war paint and Ardmore asks him if he even remembers what a uniform is, Lyle is standing right there, in full uniform. You can tell he's been wanting to say something but couldn't because Q is his boss, and he's glad someone finally did

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I feel so bad for Lyle😭 he was trying so hard to do his job

@neytirisa I actually thought it happened for a split second. Insane stuff

this scene was genuinely my biggest shock

@coubdolf Wallpaper pls

i need #that quarang shot in 4k quality asap

@ToughSf True but on the other hand we see Parker Selfridge (corpo guy from the first movie) in his boxers, so, you win some you lose some

There are zero space scenes in Avatar 3.
