just saw some gameplay for the suicide squad game.

damn, it really is bad. it's borderline giving me cotton mouth from how dry it is. just really weird and floaty.

it looks so soft and undercooked, too. i really hate how so many modern games look like this. all of the modern rendering techniques in the world can't begin to approach the heavily stylized looks of older games, which you can really only criticize for their piss filters that cover the screen (stylistically, that is). all of that effort doesn't make the games run any better either, you'll get games coming out that look bad and hope that they would run smoothly but nope, here's a bunch of stuttering and also you need a 4090 to play it at 1080p at a consistent frame rate, and that's WITH DLSS.

also, the music in that trailer sounds like booty hole. i really hope that's just something done up for the trailer and not replacing the original song in-game.

never trust the hype when something is advertised as having parts of the original team on board.

silent hill 2 remake has last of us combat and quick time events.........

@nordtrack @Pawlicker that's a whoooooole other topic lol. i'm so glad i'm out of there. huge load off of my shoulders that was completely unnecessary.

@nordtrack @Pawlicker mormon lol

I told you so, and I don't hate to say it.

Live action + Netflix = Death sentence. So many people were getting hyped about this, that it was going to be better than Shyamalan's Avatar. "It has the original writers of the cartoon, that means it's going to be great!" Well, it's missing one of them, that being the guy who didn't work on Korra. I knew this was going to be bad before it was even announced.

@nordtrack @Pawlicker i think it is very tied with self-preservation, and that's how evil people get you wrapped up in their mess. cult leaders, for instance. they know how humans work and they know how to take advantage of things like selfishness and selflessness, whether they be pure or under the guise of one another.

before the truth will set you free, it'll piss you off. nobody wants to be pissed off or piss off their peers because they can feel like that's all they have (which is another cult tactic).

i think it is good to have a bit of a safety net for people to fall back to. i know this comic is a bit cringe but it still illustrates a good point that doesn't even necessarily have to be about "political sides" but about any sort of cult/dogma. obviously, some people go too far and every prodigal son situation has its limits... but as far as your non-evil person goes i think being supportive in this way can help lend a lot of courage. i'm surprised i somehow gathered the courage to leave the church i grew up in because i had no support for that whatsoever... having some people to fall back on really would have helped me make the decision a lot earlier. especially other Christians.

@nordtrack @Pawlicker i'm not sure honestly. i'm inclined to say that humans aren't inclined towards "evil" but towards selfishness. a lot of people who commit selfless acts do it for selfish reasons, whether that's to feel good about themselves or to appear good to others. however, being selfish even for those reasons isn't necessarily a bad thing, or an "evil" thing. it can be something that is just misguided. humans are naturally selfish for a reason... they need to be in a lot of aspects.

i do think there are evil people too, though. ones that just want to watch the world burn or ones that are exceedingly greedy and lust for power. i don't think that's a natural state for people, i think it is born from selfishness as well as other learned behavior from the culture they grow in. those evil people then in turn take advantage of others' selfishness.

@nordtrack @Pawlicker society is vapid, the ones who keep it that way aren't. they're mostly evil.

@AkiFN amazing work as always!! good finished product :)
