月
yeah i know it's inadvertantly showing how what they're trying to do, their goal, will result in more harm it's all so contrived
Maria
>>527087 really shot themselves in the foot there It's such a poorly thought out premise
月
doesnt even matter the narrative is pushed so hard that it can't matter
>>527090 man im watchin like hours of this forestcam footage of chimps and gorillas in front of this big mirror there's various collections of data of similar kinds of interactions several of the apes have the self-awareness response pretty early after a few moments of initial shock and aggression and there's so much footage of aggressive behavior in response to the mirror and that's how they're classifying stuff
but like they're most def self-aware here they develop a fascination with tryin to see themselves in ways they normally cant how we know they're not self-awaredly trying to probe their own aggressive signalling and make that connection why we think they're having a hostile response to the perceived other chimp
iunno i love this stuff
月
oh i guess that was unclear they're monitoring for the typical signs of self-awareness that we use in human categorization in toddlers at the mirror using the mirror to identify your own body parts, the ones you can't do without a mirror, being a classic indicator
the aggressive posturing of the adult males is being considered not an act of self-awareness but imo it kind of is, it's just uncertain probably the most important part of an adult male's body is its ability to signal the most meaningful message in the chimp world i think we're way underestimating them here and that they're knowingly gauging their own intimidation and assertion signals they can always see others and feel intimidated or not by it, but they can never see their own it's the most important language in the world to them so it's definitely occupying enough of their thoughtspace to merit that kind of focus
yeah, i agree it's funny how researchers see that kind of behavior, idk, it's like they try to remove themselves from the context and take a stance that the animals can't possibly have that ability, so they come up with an explanation that proves them right
月
well there's nothin to prove right here this is just archival, not really research i'm just nitpicking the way it's archived since they're making compilations of significant interactions and all and not just uploading 24 hours of footage every day, we're restricted from context so there's some moments of aggression that seem provoked by the mirror and other aggressive behaviors that seem exhibitionary but when they're all put in the same collection, in-between time is lost and so is some context and it paints the picture that they're activities sharing the same motivation
and i'm not really even nitpicking it so much as learning from it voicing that was what i needed in order to articulate my own thought i had to parse it out from the idea it was already attached to
月
i think i'm getting a lot better at meaningful parsing i don't feel so easily confused anymore and i'm not over-eagerly pulling at threads that aren't actually there
月
do you have any advice for anchoring i always have to be careful when thinking about systems because if i do it too long it kind of takes over my brain and invades my normal functionality i can get stuck like that for a whole day and start to be unable to control my own thoughts and it's a really terrifying feeling when i can't control my own thoughtspace
Kirara 🚗
one of the things i do for anchoring is i have a specific thing i can think about, and it's always the same thing, but when i feel like im getting that invasive cognitive mode-switch, i stop and think about that thing for me it's just an incredibly neutral thing, i just think about the ingredients in stew not how they interact together or anything, just each individual ingredient separately like, here's the beef, these are its properties, etc here are onions these are the properties and traits of onion, this is how im gonna cut it
>>527099 color and object confirmation can help keep me grounded to a process i can usually abort some of the intrusive thoughts by playing dota, which is very procedural for me but in order to actually get work done towards my writing on the subject i have to be able to do systems work and maintain it right now i just have to daily meddling then disengage and it's all just preparatory kind of stuff
smoking cigarettes seems to help curb the momentum of stray thought threads but also curbs the ambition and excitement a bit it's kind of an unfortunate thing that the only way i can do something that i want to do is to put myself in a position where i do not want to do it, otherwise i get too eager and lose my stability
Also unceasing top with the defect is ridiculous cause the dude's got so many ways to get more energy
sk
Like hologram, seek, all for one, there's a lot of stuff he can do to just get more stuff to use He's got double energy, too, which is absurdly good if you can get like 2-3 of them to 0 cost and then all for one You're gonna have like 32 energy or something

Alice
hi i'm watching FMA brotherhood, i'm on ep 30 now it's hard to marathon things i literally started last night at this time.
>>527188 deer are extremely dangerous it was just a doe or else i would have backed tf out but even a doe can trample you and cause fatal blunt trauma it's weird to me that a human who can communicate with other species nowadays is a specialized skill and considered like some sort of feat it's the most basic thing our brains are built to understand how to do and if we never separated from the environment we could all do it but somehow now that we're civilized and intelligent, we think things like that are some sort of mastery
everything we consider smart is totally dumb compared to what a natural human can be
>>527190 when i think about how much knowledge we've thrown away to become "civilized" it's really heartbreaking it seems like every day there's a new scientific discovery that "uncivilized" humans already knew we have all of these skills that are necessary to do all of these meaningless things that we fill our lives with like work and school
dropped >>527193 there's so much focus on how these apes can use tools and progressive reasoning and learning it's so fucked up because our common ancestors four and a half million years ago could already do that they also had small community groups which would share knowledge with other local groups about how to hunt termites with sticks, which plants had beneficial effects, how to build beddings in the trees, which berries were poisonous, and way more shit and that's the common ancestors of humans + other great apes minus the orangutan
millions of years of gradually shared knowledge and accumulation we're so detached from what it all means that we're fascinated that there's another group than us that has self awareness which imo self awareness is just divergence from the environmental system to such an extent that the processing faculties are removed from their purposeful uses
any sufficiently complex system can be self aware if you remove it from an organic environment and place it somewhere such that it recognizes discontinuity from its surroundings it's probably the least meaningful kind of intelligence it's the recognition of being separated from a larger system and now being an indepedently apex system

gene ray had really bad issues i feel really bad for him there's really nothing there besides a really sad story
Kirara 🚗
my new client is a lot like us in the way he thinks his biggest regret is that he stopped being a drug dealer because that world is where he felt he belonged, he had a sense of community, he had family he was connected to people, and he lived on the street and had to survive day by day and that struggle made him feel alive and now he's not in his environment and he can't connect with anyone
FormerRei@mobile
Oh, is he woke to civilization being bad?
月
i don't think that civilization is bad i don't really believe in concepts like bad except in reference to the health of contained systems
月
>>527197 the streets are so addictive it's the most organic kind of life in a modern setting the inmate systems in prisons tend to follow suit with that too it's part of why i secretly hope the irs arrests me brutal and stressful as it is, rights removed and all, the inmate connection is the most human thing we have these days
streets are an incredibly granular and organic setting people who grew up in an emergent substrate of modern society can't see it and they just see shit as awful but there's such a granular feeling to it there's not that disparity between action and purpose there's no confusion you just live in your actions and there's not invested neurotransmitter response awaiting something promised by preached expectations all expectations are learned and continuous you don't do anything without knowing it beforehand that's really the epitome of being human imo
life has purpose in earnestness when our actions and expectations are separated in modern society, the only reason for that is that we're subservient to an overbearing system that thrives off of that for its granular function
Kirara 🚗
i also don't think civilization is bad
ToN
another misunderstanding of the complicated thoughts of a roboido
>>527200 so many people fail to realize that we're so alienated from our actions and expectations just that awareness alone would change so much my client was saying he has no motivation to do anything and i was like, "well, what do you even have to do?" and i commented that /// and he said he has his gameboy (3ds) and stuff, and i commented that he's looking for the ability to be productive, he wants to see the fruit of his labor and he was like astonished that i understood it he wants connection to others, to the world around him, to himself
i have to defend my conceptualization of this case and it's going to be so frustrating because the people evaluating me won't understand this stuff
月
the only reason imo that addiction to substances exists is because it brings stratified populations closer to what the innate human experience is which they're denied there's nothing more stimulating than the innate human experience, nothing more immersive >>527206 i really don't like it but the particular subect matter i'm trying to articulate does require the word a lot it's a crux of what i'm tryna explain the stepwise approach by which each action has inherent progressive value and tasks are inherently rewarding as opposed to expectations and investment i feel like we're getting progressively more work-resistant and fatigued by the generation because we're becoming more separated from that earnest gratification as society develops there's such an environment that exists where work and relief are the same thing and that you're not investing work to afford relief later
>>527204 haha just sounds like he's lazy and wants an excuse to do nothing typical millennial!! doesn't know the value of work :)
Kirara 🚗
i wish i could make people understand
i was explaining his self-mutilation to my supervisor and my supervisor was like, "it sounds like he's trying to scare people away with it" people don't understand it's so frustrating

Thats an interesting way of explaining self-mutilation.
>>527208 maybe after i articulate my paper on broad systems theory we can co-author something on alienated systems in psychosocial development
Kirara 🚗
>>527209 it's a valid explanation for many but certainly not my client
Anno
I've had friends who self harmed but the only explanation I've heard is "cry for attention" That it's the opposite of that is interesting to me
Kirara 🚗
>>527210 that would be cool it's so frustrating that people don't get it how do people get so alienated from it all i see people every day and everyone has a sense of discomfort and they're all trying to fix it and they never get any insight into their discomfort they learn that there must be something wrong with them
>>527213 they're brought up and developed in an emergent system so they've learned the functionality of that substrate it takes a lot of rejection and deep diving to experience the underlying systems that pave the way for the emergent platform they're now living through
i talk a lot about things being statistical, and that's the method by which an emergent (concrete) observer can accurately function on an underlying (abstract) level in terms of profession, prescribing medication, making (usually) correct analyses and so forth
statistics is just a guiding hand it's not an arbiter of analytic truth and there are so many layers of abstraction concreteness and abstraction aren't binary concepts they're emergent systems building off the foundations of those prior
having intuition about that abstract development of systems helps one follow more meaningful threads and it's not at all an easy task either it's very taxing the biggest problem i see in that regard is what our society defines as smart and successful is the ability to operate on the most concrete platforms possible, the most emergent systems, and to be able to process data efficiently
and as i've said many times in the past, i feel data and information are very different things the most acute mind is able to parse data into information and process the impact of raw information dynamically across systems
and i don't think it's some innate talent or genetic disposition i think it's the most natural thing which we're deprived of through pressures of modern society to function according to invested growth but we're built to function in small communities spreading information granularly, not a global population investing predictively on information the value of new information our ancestors could share meant propagation of the species, ability to control disease, being able to control fire and have less taxing digestion, very direct responses to the sharing of knowledge now it's just... it's too fucked up
月
limit* information is invested in based on economic predictive growth the granularity is removed immediate growth from new knowledge is removed, so things which have limited attained value can only really spread socially until such a trend develops that it has an economic market meanwhile the global trend will stay consistent with statistic relevance "Oh, what's this? proper choline intake can increase hemispheric communication and limit some of the developing factors of schizophrenia? well, sounds bunk to me. i'm gonna keep prescribing according to what insurance deems as a safe investment to avoid deviations in cost expectations" a family might do it, they might spread that knowledge around socially within their neighborhood but the lag difference between generational development and trend analysis is significant
four and a half million years of trading knowledge generationally and how far we've come but the last two decades of trending knowledge and how it's affected us has had a bigger upset and more global threat idk man the last four lines here including this one a little more preachy and dismissable but the rest i feel really strongly about

on the individual scale probably i don't think human influence is too far gone though it's gonna be one of those things where groups probably will end up functioning like individuals did in the past it's about having the right channels to propagate forward probably at least that thinking gives me a little sense of purpose to detach from my personal fuckuppery and the chronic urge to stab myself in the heart

>>527388 magpies are smart but they're still nippy bastards
月
magpies are one of eight species shown to have awareness that mirror images are representation of themselves
Anno
My hokey professor from last semester that may have possibly been really into Freud's philisophical beliefs used humankind's "uniqueness" in being able to recognize mirror images as themselves as what makes humans distinct as animals ... or something. I want to mention this is a poor adaptation of what he said but that he did mention that humankind is unique in it. Which I was, like, 95% certain was false, and since I didn't want to nitpick the lecture more than I did that semester, I kept quiet. And probably stopped paying attention which is why I can't recall his words very well, hah hah.
>>527389 it's not unique to humans but it is kind of the signature of human thought it's a very defining development as a species and in individual growth there are probably a lot more than eight animals that can do it but we can only rigorously identify those eight using methods of tracking based on the human model of it i guess it would be hard to confirm anything too foreign in its pathology
i think it's dolphins, ellyfants, all the grape apes, and magpies
Anno
I think pigs can see recongise themselves in a mirror too
Anno
Pigs might also be able write better sentences than me too
月
>>527402 no it's impossible since all pigs look the same they would think it's another pig
Anno
>>527401 I've read about Alex the grey parrot before, which apparently asked out of his own volition what the colour of his feathers were upon seeing himself in the mirror. And that sort inquisitive language isn't something that even great apes have demonsrated before.
>>527405 i'm not entirely certain but i think what matters is whether the species can innately do it having a parrot recognize itself is different than parrots having self-recognition innately especially when we're removin them from the wild and developing them in a detached environment where self is a lot more superliminal i'm pretty sure my cat even knows what's going on when i'm holding her and she sees another me holding her and sees me using a mirror
So I think I figured out that math thing I was thinking about earlier. It now seems trivial but I don't think there's been a paper done on it so I may write one. I have no idea for applications though. Aside from creating new better math problems that no one knows how to approach.
Apparently when I start uni I may be forced to have a GP that works for the uni which might be good but also could be shity
Anno
Well at least it's as much a toss-up as a public practitioner. Could be frustrating since your options for changing might not be as varied as people in the public service.
or do you mean a gangliocytic paraganglioma i didnt know unis were hiring those nowadays
Anno
>>527432 Its a pain since I change GPs but if the pool of uni selected GPs is small I meant be stuck with a unhelpful one. but I'll see, I don't they can legally control my health care though but might cause problems for me. >>527433 That is kinda addictive sounding, it rolls off the tongue
Anno
Well an optimistic possibility is that the pool of practitioners they pull from come from the university. And them being so close to places of academic stufy might mean you've got a better chance of dodging a stuck-in-their-ways old codger.
Anno
>>527436 I don't they are like academics from the university more like uni approved student clinic. Ideally I would want someone clued up which might be likely with a student clinic since they are used to the problems of students. Hopefully I will have one who knows decent endocrinologists and isn't a pain in the ass.

Ohh, Right! I got confused. I can see it now. Yeah I'll join. I need something to calm down with! I'm a terrible mahjong player by the wya
Anno
Use your semi-colons! >Moon, Kannagi; me and floop are gonna... Or just a comma if you're lazy it works too. Grammar is the soul of English.
Maria
>>527449 believe in the heart of the cards and she'll be right mate
>>527450 I should have used a comma yeah I've never used a semi colon in my entire life
Anno
In more recent years I've taken the "better to ask forgiveness than permission" approach to semi-colons. I throw them around hoping I have it right and shrug it off when I get them wrong.

it's still logged in my history, that game where we played with a fella named 4vagina that's too many vaginas imo for one man

good luck everyone

you too i can already tell kannagi is tryin for seven pair
>>527546 go to lobby 0 and fight randoms became the 天鳳位 >>527550 I've heard good things about these videos Remember the flash game exists for practice >>527551 wtf he barely started with any greens this madman
>>527548 it's this one >>>/watch?v=30yoLv6wH1Q i can't find the actual replay but, uh, there's a bit to flesh through might be worth pausing to look at the round and placement first
月
>>527548 haha i had to make such a risky play tossing out those sevens this was ranked and i was already in second to have an upset i needed to overtake this dude with 44 THOUSAND more points than me if anyone else dealt in instead, it wouldn't have mattered final round literally down to the very last discard of the final round he drops the 2 sou that game was so perfect and that replay doesnt do it much justice
>>527552 that's so perfect it's a crazy manga tier moment Man Saki season 4 when
Anno
Akagi is incredible, It is amazing how much tension and character appears in a manga basically about a mahjong match and a fucking long one at that. It was such a fucking ride
月
>>527554 yeah i burned out my dopamines on that game can't even play normally now i gotta chase the high of godly plays (not really but it is fun to do)
Anno
Oh shit that video was you moon. That was fucking amazing
Maria
>>527558 Akagi is fucking godly So many ballsy plays, such clever insight into what people are thinthinking , so many madman moments
>>527559 I really enjoy the relief of escaping fourth
I don't play the game at all but I saw she got an overwork.
Anno
yeah they've done away with any pretense of her being a "support" character and turned her into a real offense hero and she can do a lot of goofy shit with her new teleport ability
Anno
her new ultimate is a great counter to snipers as well it spawns a barrier that spans the entire map
Anno
Like just a dividing border that shields the entire 2D plane you summon it on?
Anno
yeah it bisects the map completely and blocks all enemy projectiles from either side
It's good to let the mind wander sometimes, and it soothes the soul. I should do it too

The rubber ball against the window as he was giving his hero speech had me cackling. And Banner's initial failure to deliver towards the end of the movie.
I hope if they do more of this style of Thor in the future that they play with the weird Oceania aliens that Waititi brought to the series.
Kirara 🚗
Yeah, that'd be awesome. I bet they will with Guardians, at least.
Recently in the comics, the Guardians got replaced with the Asguardians of the Galaxy
Anno
I mean the Guardians are A+ but Thor's crew is pretty great too. And Scrapper 142 is apparently going to show up in future MCU films.
they are a little bit tasty but they fall into the "not worth the hassle" category difficult to buy difficult to store messy to cut and eat i'm not a fan of messy stuff that takes a lot of effort
watermelons are quite tasty especially with a light sprinkle of salt
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
maybe it is because they are so rarely in stores here
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
are watermelons, the big ones available there year around or just during the season?
月
they're pretty seasonal depending on the region i think you can probably get them in subtropical regions year round, but nobody's gonna be shipping watermelons to the great lakes area during the cold season
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
here it really depends some stores never stock up on them, due to obvious reasons, so it really comes to picking the right stores during the brief window they are available
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
In the past they used to be available year around in some stores, but no more

most of my fruit probably comes from juices the thick kind that are like smoothies i like fresh berries i suppose but most other fruits end up getting my hands sticky oranges especially
i've seen desert pizza that is like pie crust with a sweet cream base and fruit on top kiwis, berries, stuff like that still don't think watermelon would be appropriate on it though
im about to break into a room at the clinic because ive called every supervisor, every admin, and the maintenance people, and nobody has answered but if i don't, i can't get home, can't get into my home, so my cat will die unless i walk home and break into my home but i don't have my wallet so i can't prove i live there if something happens i don't think these locks can be picked especially not without tools
so i guess my only option is to break a window the janitor doesn't even have a physical key to this room, what the fuck
i wonder if busting the lock would be cheaper than the window, though maybe i should try that first
yeah it's fuckin swipe cards they just stopped working today the doors were all propped open and had signs saying not to close them but why read a sign
Hmm here most places double the id-badges with rfid or something things that either open doors when pressed against a reader or can even automatically pick them up when you approach
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

I feel like it was unreasonable but also like I was forced to be unreasonable i exhausted all options a supervisor should have answered their phones, they're supposed to be available all the time for emergencies

it is "life" as in literally life, but in spanish they actually stack up the years I >>527711 Huh, I thought they didn't stack them up, just had like 50+ year sentences or "life"
Kirara 🚗
there is a guy in the US with 141,000 years in prison
I find the year stacking quite silly why not just say "for life" I mean what are you going to do in the case someone is sentenced say 200 years in prison and then he lives through it
sk
>>527715 Wiki says the longest sentence in the US has been 30K years for a child rapist
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also is the "survive execution on death penalty 2/3? times an then be left free" a true thing?
>>527728 it is actually a good question, how long would they keep you locked up if you were found out to be biologically immortal or even truly immortal but had a 20k year sentence I mean realistically speaking the nation that sentenced you isn't going to be around then
Maria

She was sentenced to a total of 141,078 years in prison but Thai law at the time stated that the maximum sentence that could be served for fraud was 20 years. In actuality, she only served about eight years of the sentence
sk
>>527730 They would keep you for the sentence until, you know, they can't because the state is destroyed
Maria
did any of you see that black mirror episode with the guy trapped in a digital prison for a million years unable to die
>>527732 Maybe in the past, but consider the media the social media and so on the sole immortal person locked in jail for all eternity man there would be rallies and campaigns just to free them eventually
And besides, activism doesn't really do much without someone with the legal right to pardon also has the desire to. Pardoning someone just because they'll never die is a pretty risky move to pull if you actually want to keep your power
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

the new season of black mirror had no purpose or stories to tell the last episode, that one, was literally just an entire episode of gore porn, people graphically mutilating themselves and others, for no reason other than shock value
Besides The nation in which punishment is done for its own sake to such a degree that several hundred lifespans are doled out as sentences, isn't one where there will be a big fuzz if someone convicted to it lives to be 150 in there
>>527743 YEah, but nobody usually lives to even 100 in prisons don't just compare it to actual cases, this is pretty much territory of "guy is sentenced to death, but keeps ressurrecting each time killed"
Like these sentences are also given out to people you don't want to defend as a political entity If you are to have any hope of gaining political office, you can't be "the guy who wants to pardon the guy who raped 6 children" or "the guy who wants to pardon... members of a right wing death squad"

so now you have 150 year old guy sitting his 1000 year sentence, but looks like the same sprawling 20 year old he was when he kileld those kids

EVERYONE who suffered for his crimes is DEAD man even if say he took 20 kids hostage and killed all but one of them, that one survivors grand kids are most likely dead or dying
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
torchwood season 4 had I think somewhat relating stuff, as in it people stopped dying was quite cruesome for some, as in "they blew up to bits" but they were still alive
Though I mean what would really happen is a corpse would turn up, the state would say that's the dude, he died in his bed peacefully at age 120something And the guy is actually in like, area 51
Besides, considering say aguy who was imprisoned in 1868 for murders for 1000 years and was still alive and still looked like a man in his prime we'd have changed quite a lot and not just echnologically but in society too people back then actually had barely rights
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>527752 see now you are exploring it, though imagine if someone went to interview them and found out the supposedly 70 year old man, still looked like he was in his 20s even that alone would catch the interest of people
I mean the state are the ones keeping this person in prison They'll notice before anyone but the guards, and the guards will be told to shut the fuck up And if they don't, they're fired, given a severance package, and their claims are never officially addressed
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yes, but no one has ever dealth with anything like this
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>527755 now you are entering big conspiracy mode mostl ikely the reaction will be "these guards must be bored to come up with silly things like that"
This kinda thing does go upwards It's the kinda thing people will mention in conversation to those higher up in the system, and eventually it'll reach like, the CIA
>>527759 It'll just get mentioned at a later date as a story
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Anyhow if something like that happened, I bet it would leak to public way before any government agency would react to it unless they really lucked out cause that is how states generally work slow
Well who's to say it hasn't happened before Like, hypothetically it could have, other than obviously being a thing that humans don't do People turn up dead in prisons with some frequency, I imagine >>527766 I mean at that point it just depends on the rest of the state I don't know if any of them would release you very quickly though
In the context of the little ones, explosion just means big leak.

Here's how you make a good sonic movie Either make it as overblown and edgy as possible, or make it like the Boom cartoon and meme over everything

>>527862 one of those sonic games had like some shadow minions or some shit and because it's friendly for kids they didn't wanna say evil or whatever so they just called them the dark ones and there's a cutscene where sonic's gathering his friends and he's like "you gotta help me get rid of the dark ones before they destroy the city" or something i can't remember the video or i'd go grab it
Doctor Robotnik is always the best character of whatever Sonic game he's in

he used to be anti-authoritarian but if he's working with cops, he's not anymore
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>527872 yeah but they still allowed that movie to become a thing damn greedy asses
>>527874 What if Okay get this what if The whole movie, it's actually shadow working with the cops, and everyone calls him sonic And then halfway through the real sonic shows up Because SA2 already established that people get the two confused for some reason
BUt honestly speaking, aren't all of seuz stories too short for a whole feature lenght movie?
Anno
Without elaboration, not really. The Horton movie I think was somewhat close to the book, they gave Jojo the Who a bit more of a plot, but the most liberties the movie took was making the scenes from the book extravagantly visual.
MM but the old animated adaptions of grinch and that tree thing both were 30 minutes long, though they barely had anything extra added to them. So I dunno, does the movie actually have to be 1h30m long? Or the 2 hour modern cinema is almost always That actually bothers me about some movies, can't really name one from the top of my mind, but some movies really feel like they should have been shorter either just ended already at earlier point that was good enough moment to end it or just had some material in it, clearly just to push it to the 2 hour lenght
Maria
what if we did something like fantasia, and it's just a compilation of short animated suess adaptations
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>527886 I'd support this I'd also support another fantasia movie
Anno
>>527885 I have zero knowledge whatsoever, but my uneducated guess is that cinema chains, at least in North America, would be averse to running shorter-length pieces, for whatever reason I'm not even gonna care to guess. Since that's where the bulk of theatre-release money is, and since theatre-release money is pretty much all most investors care about, if you can't run it in a cinema, you'll have a hard time getting funding.
>>527888 Basically they think people won't pay the same price for a short movie and as for the 2h lenght "this and that movie were 2h and sold well, so I guess people want to sit 2h in a theatre" said some analysist >>527890 precis I wouldn't pay 12,5€ for a 30 min flick but for 3x30 min flick? or 2 hell yeah
Anno
Honestly it's probably not an entirely untrue assumption.
But this 2h lenght comes to that "games must be so and so long" or "be open world filled with *content*" that game industry fell in People don't want quantity voer quality in most cases
Anno
Well that's not exactly true though. Plenty of AAA games have tiny single-player experiences. I would argue for people who are interested in single-player gaming, the trend IS that people want larger worlds. Of course this doesn't mean they'll complain about a world stocked with content and detail, but I would believe the popular opinion ranks larger worlds in single-player games as very high importance.
This doesn't mean that there are not dissenters or anecdotal disagreement, but that the base that the industry chases -does- want this.
>>527892 This is not about larger worlds it is about what is in them are the activities you can do just rng copy paste of the same thing over and over and over again or something you will want to actually do and do several times over, in either various fashions or in various locations take say assassin's creed 4 as an example all the side activity on land is quite... dull >find boxes >chase songs >kill target in area rinse repeat It isn't really content, as in stuff you'd really want to do especially for that 100% playthrough, unless you are a true completionist rather than having n+1 assassin contracts you could have say 5 and craft each of them individually or just have enough variables to generate it, so that they atleast somewhat seem different from the previous
Anno
I know, and I'm saying the player base for gaming on a whole would agreeably take that standardization of content in exchange for larger maps. Of course you give them an equally-sized map and have it full of handmade content and no one's gonna be complaining. Well.
But it's just you blame the industry and I'm not certain if it's the industry's fault or if they're just giving their most profitable base what the base is asking for.
>>527895 Well it is in my opinion one of those "horror video games don't sell anymore" decisions they just made Sure they most likely had some data on it and asked some focus group and some analysist but people actually still wanted horror games
noun is a proper noun, but you don't capitalise it
月
>>527906 accepted standards are that it should be i really disagree though in cases like "i'm gonna do an internet search" i feel it definitely shouldn't be in cases like "i'm gonna go on the internet and search", i understand common consensus but still disagree
in finnish both internet and Internet go however if you use capital then you must write compound words with added -, like Internet-site but if you write it without capital, you can just stuff dem words together like usua, internetsite
I think the discussions core was how internet is supposed to be treated capital Internet if it is some unique place and just internet if it s a tool like a car etc I am firmly of the noncapital camp, btw
月
there is no unique internet though that's my qualm it's like saying you're gonna go outside and step on the grass and saying grass needs to be capitalized
'sides most people use words like web or net etc nowadays more than internet
月
yeah imagine capitalizing telephone or radio or television it's a category of channel it's not a branded product, nor a specific domain for instance, we can have an internetwork connecting us all to /moe/ and also connecting us to a source that can proxy our http inquiries we're using the internet but not connected to "the Internet" and that's just illustrative because all internet connections are really like that it makes no sense to categorize that domain as a proper noun it's too unbounded if you can't properly define what is or isn't a connection to the Internet or what is just internet, it has no business being a proper noun
I think it comes from thinking of internet as a one unique place, from I guess "old minded" people These kinds of people think of internet as a kind of a place, a country, a unique world of its own So it isn't hard to understand that some would then want to refer it with Internet, like it is some one unique place
Somewhat related is that people wishing to censor and limit internet, be it anti-netneutrality legislation or article 13 ilk are usually people who don't really understand how and what internet really is.

I walked into the kitchen just now and something dropped right in front of my face from the ceiling to the ground. This enough -alone is enough to make me a little skittish and it didn't help that a second later I saw a centipede scurrying under a table. I was basically shaking and patting down my body all over to make sure there wasn't anything else that had dropped and hadn't missed me. Stuff like this always unnerves me.

Neat Centipedes are friend bugs though. Cause they eat other bugs.
