@lobotom1zada It's great but basically impossible to explain to anyone in my life.

Todo el mundo debería de ver al menos una vez en la vida Girls (2012)

@GazeWindward Yeah only the inexperienced date people who they are bored with

@powerflower67 You need to be 18 to post on this website sir

Contrived controversy, no man posed with this question in the real world is giving up perfect tits.

@magatsuizanyagi You're getting dog piled for this by actually I kinda agree...

the entire thing is a great video on my issues with remake culture but this specific snippet is such a good explanation of my gripes

@YourFiendTina I was just wondering if stereolab was shibuya kei yesterday

My week! Decided to get back into listening to a whole bunch of Shibuya-Kei recently and I think it’s making a positive impact in my overall mood

@timsoret Yes you're right he should have done something way more weird and avant garde and it make less immediate what he was trying to say

I find Banksy incredibly shallow. His work has fundamentally nothing to say, and his selection of causes shows a complete lack of courage. Notice how he never combats actual obscurantism, fanaticism & authoritarianism (where he would be thrown in jail for life).

@zermatist @rwalterrust Many such cases

@rwalterrust How did you ever enjoy his material in the first place??????????????

How exactly do you lose 85% of your audience in a year? Isn't that kind of unheard of? Did the company just stop paying for fake audience, or did people just decide they really hate his ass that badly all of a sudden?

The simple graphics of a classic RPG add a layer of abstraction. You're meant to intuit, for example, that you're only seeing a slice of the game world; the "real" game world is bigger. Guardia Kingdom obviously has more than the ~50 inhabitants you see. You figure out that battles, where characters spend most of their time standing still, are just a representation of a more dynamic process that's slowed down and abstracted away for the player's benefit. "Remakes" of classic pixel RPGs remove this layer of abstraction; they weaken the player's suspension of disbelief, and the aesthetics of the game suffer. And usually, the aesthetics of the original game were fine. If anything, the "problem" is that by modern standards, the game isn't big or complex enough (too short and repetitive, battle programming is too simple, game mechanics make little sense and/or are too easy to optimize, and in general there aren't enough difficult decisions to make). Unfortunately, this shortcoming of the original 16-bit game usually isn't what gets updated. Square doesn't release a version of Final Fantasy 6 or Chrono Trigger with better battle mechanics, more differentiated characters, etc. They release the game with updated (read: usually worse) graphics and sound and almost no change to the actual gameplay other than maybe the addition of an optional side dungeon.

@YourFiendTina @dodechaedrons Ya it has two moments of unsurpassed subliminity but otherwise is like drifting around in space. I much prefer YWWNW and have listened to it 100 times

@dodechaedrons It’s got 2 REALLY good songs and then some interesting moments sprinkled in between passages that are too sparse or too convoluted to grasp onto. I’ve tried this album many times but idk it’s just not for me

I don’t think I’ll ever understand this album

We recently interviewed one of the guys on the Explosive Media Lego team and he said that, surprisingly, their attitude toward the American people has significantly *improved* throughout this conflict, as they have come to recognize that both they and we are subjects of the Epstein class, that Americans voted against war and are appalled by what we're doing. I think the same is true for Americans, and these videos have helped humanize Iranians, in a weird way (considering they are Lego characters and not humans in the videos)

How many Republican who were supposed to "destroy the party" ended up making them stronger? To quote Marriage Story, "I got my own asshole."

@Lanstrash Wouldn't the action commands be more intuitive on left trigger?

I've been working on a new area and an optional miniboss. #indiedev #gamedev

walking around outside is like scrolling with your body

One time I did this to someone who said I looked gay and said "yeah it does"

why would you want robots to look exactly like humans when you can make em look like Metabee and be objectively cooler

One of the most beautiful pixel art backgrounds of all time Change my mind!

Literally quoted this to a recovering drug addict when I was 19 in in-patient and he thought it was the hardest thing known to man

@constans Even barney and Kermit smoke cigarettes man

One of my friends said the most jarring experience was to watch a video Audrey Tatou doing a scene in a Amelie or something similarly quirky, and then hearing the director declare “cut” and seeing Tatou revert to her “real self”

If I ever get fat I'm going to put "Jumbo" before me name

please stop asking me to play final fantasy 14. in the 2 months i did play it, i became a total loser. my girlfriend dumped me and my old job almost fired me. it has inflicted more immediate and material damage to my life than meth.
