After playing a few hours of Metro 2033 Remastered, I wish for a Vault story in Fallout where it’s basically a story of political opposition between Communists, Fascists and Objectivists set in a vault. It’s why I was bummed that Fallout 76 was not Fallout New York, because New York would be the perfect setting for a…

“The problem is that Snoke is important to properly understand Kylo”

I’m gonna go the opposite.  TLJ is Star Wars for people who don’t need every little detail explained and can figure some stuff out on their own.

TLJ was the best Star Wars film since Empire.

I’m with Clayton on this one.

I like Rogue One and The Force Awakens just fine. But The Last Jedi is something else. It’s the best Star Wars movie in decades.

The Last Jedi was great and fuck all y’all that hated it.

Erana’s Peace was much nicer than all these dusky basements and whatnot.

which is what makes the movie so ballsy and so great. It’s a much needed self-reflection for the franchise.

I don’t think anyone is saying that “if you dislike TLJ, you’re a sexist”. More that “if you’re this passionately angry over the movie, there’s probably more going on there”.  And for a lot of these people, that thing is sexism.

I have a story to tell that might help explain why Kelly Marie Tran felt the need to leave IG. I am an aspiring comics artist and earlier this year I came across a YouTube channel called Comics Artist Pro Secrets which had a bunch of very helpful videos about the business, how to get a job and especially how to…

Just reading this makes me wish the Matrix had scuttled the humans-as-batteries idea, and made the Matrix the result of the AIs being bound by rules that prevented them from physically harming humans, but not from imprisoning them in a fantasyland and destroying their minds.

It’s actually not the easiest thing in the world to hard-code Asimov’s first law. The level of AI needed for something like Bishop from Aliens to be real would actually make it very difficult to program it not to harm humans. But it’s easy for a writer to hand-wave the necessary programming to implement Asimov’s first…

Notice that in all these Marvel et al movies, the bad guys are 1) from another dimension 2) aliens or 3) robots. This lets the heroes be able to kill lots of bad guys, without killing actual humans (because that’s bad).

It is used quite lot, but the general idea of many is that the AI gains sentience and decides wiping out humans is for the best. It’s the sentient part that nullifies any coding to protect human life.

Well, if they’re programmed to preserve life, and they determine that the current population is untenable in the long term, and they’re AIs who have to take the long view of things into consideration, the logical conclusion would be that to preserve human life they first need to destroy a whole lot of it, to get it…

It’s not an equivalence. Men are not plagued nearly as much as women are as men have always been valued for other factors. Women today often still are not valued beyond their appearance and certainly in the past that was the case.

What a lot of MRA, PUA, anti-PC types miss is that toxic masculinity is harmful to men too, particularly young boys who are just finding themselves. And it’s harmful in ways they don’t even realize is a direct result of toxic masculinity (i.e. forcing men to repress emotions).

Gee, I wonder why fat women think that society has it out for them? (Reads comments section) Oh, right.

Don’t forget the epidemic of fragility among men. If even a single piece of media turns focus away from them, they pounce on it in the comments section like an MRA on a twitter thread started by a feminist.

Hooboy, this comment section turned into a shitshow very quickly.
