@luigi_depressed @nikicaga There's The Raid 1 and 2. I feel that they're epochal as far as action movies go.

Why wouldn't they have a correspondent in the fourth most populous country in the world??
J.J. McCullough@JJ_McCullough
Just heard a report on CBC radio from their Indonesia correspondent. Why does CBC have an Indonesia correspondent? Is that part of “telling Canadian stories?”

@StevenWallaby @burritoprophet As much as Lynch peeks behind the curtain he does genuinely love Americana, it's clear as day in his works
English
"David Lynch is conservative because he shows the prettiness of americana before undercutting it" is like saying Scorsese is pro-mafia because he likes to immerse viewers in the world by initially showing the allure of wealth, freedom and control. Just harebrained binary thinking

@nikicaga how did water use become the big thing when the electrocity use is like a million billion times worse of a problem

I like the "agriculture uses way more water than ai" argument because it implies that asking grok to put someone in a bikini is just as important as literally eating food

Gak mau overhype Veda tapi mengingat balap motor itu masih sangat didominasi pembalap Eropa dan Veda gak susah tembus top 5 secara konsisten selama karirnya, ini anak mungkin bisa tembus MotoGP dalam waktu 3-4 tahun atau lebih cepat, kalo lancar semuanya
db 🐡@kensethology
This will probably always be my favourite Veda highlight. A first year rider against a bunch of far more experienced european kids at a track he'd never visited before. Completely unnecessary but that's what makes it so good. Unbelievable rider 🤩

@MallowTheQueen the Reveal cinematic is dedicated to Vandal (still not enough, I agree)

Recon has DIED in all 4 character cinematics, and Vandal has yet to make an appearance at all

Settingnya tahun 2021-2023, ttg kripto influencer mau bikin rug-pull scheme jual coin kripto, isinya kumpulan orang manipulatif, saling teriak dan saling sikut.
Starring Ardit Erwandha.
Bene Gesserit Rajagukguk@hugetcigalpa
Tunggu Aku Sukses Nanti (2026): In this Dhuafaslop, tiap ngeliat Ardit Erwandha di layar gw ngarep dia dapat peran tipe Marty Supreme (sadar dia ganteng, egois, desperate for a win). There's this manipulative charming aura dari ni orang yg gw pengen liat di layar lebar.

can't help but notice the double standard when talking about the only lesbian pop star in the middle west... chappell roan has a right to defend herself and if jorginho wants to use his military aged child as a human shield, we cannot let our suicidal empathy blidn us

This single video has more personality than both John Desert and Jane Scifi in their respective games.
I like Eve more than Kliff though. Kliff is painfully generic

@NotFifthGear It's insane that people that had no problem with DRS (satan's invention) suddenly has a probblem with "clipping"

"I love the new F1 regulations... we've been running regulations like that for nearly 20 years now in endurance racing where the drivers and the teams have to work together to get the best out of their energy allocation and clearly there are some people in the F1 paddock who haven't caught onto that idea yet.
And there is no point in shouting and screaming it's not racing. It is racing and it gives us the kind of racing that we got here."

@HMBohemond Funny thing is shields were banned later in the OG books and everyone just uses lasguns. Only reason sword and shield fighting was a thing is because it's "aristocratic"
English
The Hotlzman Shield in Dune is one of the perfect examples of adding a tiny thing to a setting to get a vibe you want out of it.
In Dune's case:
- Holtzman Shields stop fast moving objects.
- Lasguns (particle beam guns in Dune) can cause a nuclear explosion if they hit a shield, so they're not commonly used.
- Melee is the dominant form of combat, trying to strike slow to penetrate the shields.
- Projectile weapons exist but they're designed around boring through or disrupting shields, but a skilled combatant can deflect the slow moving projectiles.
- Heavy artillery can still kill shielded humans through sheer transfer of force or heat, which the shield can't block.
- Anti-vehicle weapons are built around these principles because the vehicle might be shielded.
Dune codified the idea of high tech sci-fi where you still have melee and the idea of "oh here's this piece of technobabble that let's me have what I want in my sci-fi setting." Gundam's Minovsky Particle and Mass Effect's Element Zero owe the Holtzman Shield their existence.
Zack Stentz@MuseZack
A hugely underrated aspect of the Dune universe's appeal is how Frank Herbert built a world where people zip around the galaxy in spaceships but then fight each other with swords and knives. It makes everything 50 percent cooler than a world of ray guns and robots.

@itsbasilbasil @RiskStrategos It's tacticool but with whimsy, mechs with giant swords and all. Important addition

@RiskStrategos Do you think titanfall is tacticool sloperator aesthetics??? Did we play the same game?????
English
people with unexamined biases who want their military sci-fi to just be tacticool “gritty” sloperator aesthetics in space are really just the chud version of people with unexamined biases who want their fantasy stuff to just be critical role found family D&D

still thinking about this. for HUNDREDS of years, durandal assumed strauss was more like an owner or an enslaver to him. when strauss himself in his dying moments, reflecting on how he alone just led over 24,000 people to die at the hands of aliens, calls him his son
