Oops! 🤷

I could easily see Putin sending one of his doubles for this one. That would explain the “all-smiles” attitude, and the meeting between them not being 1-on-1, but 3-on-3 with their handlers.

Then again, even if it’s the real guy - what does he have to worry about, being pampered and wheeled around by his lackey on a nice overseas stroll.

We can call it a triumvirate.

This won’t end well.

This dude has been in the news before, and again for some non-story, but thinly veiled trying to spread as much as possible exactly how long and thick his dong was. I mean good for him (or bad, many women’s vaginas won’t accommodate that), but he comes off as attention-seeker of the lowest order.

If you want another comedic stupidity, he has some funny parts in Snatch. Can’t be bothered to watch his copy&paste action movies, too, though.

Star Wars is about the only movie I don’t like with him, and it’s not because of his acting, but as you maybe meant his whole character feels forced in.

Other than that, can’t hate anything Adam Driver is in - dude is an astounding actor, I’m usually floored by his performances in other movies. Doesn’t have Brad Pitt looks or whatever, but boy can he play convincingly absolutely any part they give him, and that’s why I think they give him tons.

I’ve only played parts of the first System Shock, so can’t speak of that or its remake until I finish it. But Prey’s very much a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, devs have said it themselves, and the similarities are a ton. Prey (2016) is still its own thing, different story, world etc., but the underlying immersive sim systems, the once again story of “you’re locked in this space station/ ship gone wrong and have to gradually progress through it while finding all its inhabitants mysteries” - it hits the same notes and it’s exactly what you’d want from a spiritual successor.

I think you’ll get a similar kick of the System Shock 2 remaster, the first one might be a tad more retro and limited even with the modern remake.

Yes, the “why?” part, at least the beginnings of it are the more clear part. It still is intriguing the rabbit hole some of these people have gone into, and educational how money can’t buy it all.

I normally wouldn’t say that about another person

They don’t look like a real person anymore, so that might soothe your conscience, too.

The more time passes, the more I feel Prey was one of the best games I’ve ever played. Can’t really feel bad for System Shock 3 not happening, Prey was the SS3 that I wanted.

I really hope Raph Colantonio’s new game delivers more immersive sim goodness upon this world, games with such reactivity are sorely missed.

It was incredibly enjoyable for me exactly because I didn’t fall for that “big mystery” hook. Also no, it’s not a nothingburger for any of the characters involved. It’s just not another unrealistic game-y game.

UK if I have to guess.

I can bet, but I won’t. Seems pretty garbled and undefined to me to call it a “masterpiece” anyway. Vibe-AI-painting, at best.

Also, I browsed the artist’s other AI artworks, and lol does this guy have a high opinion of himself and his “works”. (And do the courts not have that, refusing him copyright…) Looks to more in it for the publicity and quick buck, than actual artistic motivation.

Absolute slop background, how this won anything is beyond me. Also the AI probably lifted the theme and style from actual artists’ artworks. How is this soulless bullshit “good”?

It might fool someone who wasn’t familiar with the stuff that AI can generate, but how does this lead to any actual creativity and progress, and not just repeating overall patterns many artist have drawn before, over and over again until everyone gets saturated with such AI “art”.

This is just an image generator that will be used to cut corpo costs and reduce work opportunities.

If they didn’t notice for 4 whole hours the game is funny as fuck I don’t think it’s for them anyway. Kinda weird they picked up only the nostalgic and sad tones, but nothing else, in a game that basically allows you to react to its world in a myriad different ways.

“Akira” when I was 10-ish. Wanted to check what this anime thing was about, was not prepared for nuclear blasts, and people becoming giant body-horror amoebas. Still, it was a good intro into anime, along with Dominion Tank Police (another hilariously not-for-10-year-olds number). And set the bar way too high for most other ones I watched later.

Let’s replace them with AI

For me in American English it’s also the commas that go inside the closing quotation marks, even when they’re not part the original quote. I die a little every time I see this, so illogical.

If it’s not part of the quote, just leave it outside.

Not really an answer, but I think this Laibach song vibes well with your question - How do you solve a problem like Korea?
