dumbbitches are new to the first half of my life.
heydude93 replied to unogueen's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
why does the unogueen persona feel a bit like some of the creatively-written but unintentionally inaccurate attempts at profiles of other co-workers that former hires raiding our company's discord make to cope w/ not working there anymore? -
General Gaming TMNT Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
heydude93 replied to crispy4000's topic in The Spawn Point

And one of many forms cult mentality like that takes. For some it's gun-owning and thinking presidents like trump or ones from many generations ago are gods, for others it's anime, vidya and internet meme lore, tenets of viking spirituality, goopy live laugh love ethos, venting hostility about women while worshipping toxic masculinity, eco/mother nature shit, neckbeard atheism, woo woo psychedelia/self help nonsense, celebrity-worship or hate, escapism and spectacle addiction, money and fame, being the best at Elden Ring, etc and various ways these interests and mentalities and more might intersect. All of it as usual stemming from toxic personal truths with no basis in anything evidence-based and who knows how many more new ones (or are they?) are popping up. One example of mass-scale cultlike behavior started ramping up on twitch last year. Right now an accurate description might be “the cult of terminally reacting and agreeing”. Streamers put their audiences' critical thinking skills and heart to the test by saying bad info in a deadpan persuasive cadence. You'll see entire chats sometimes filled with up to dozens of thousands of people, all being increasingly cringe and gleefully agreeing with any and every scrap of stupid shit thrown their way like it's a treat. Pretty harrowing!

The question is, where does the addiction to NRA-style gun nut behavior stem from/what causes it? Is it more accurate to chalk it up to addictive personality, or a symptom of a personal truth in which the constitution/colonial way of life/american exceptionalism/etc are worshipped like a religion? In other words, a cult. Always has been. And one of many. Everyone with a functioning sense of cultural awareness knew things were never great, but it seems clearer than ever now that cultism's on the rise at an alarming scale.

Movies Apple TV+: Prehistoric Planet (SEASON 2 COMING MAY 22)
heydude93 replied to Spork3245's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Two episode in. Pretty much every legit paleontologist and paleoartist I follow on the socials are raving about this. It's definitely the best portrayal of dinosaurs on a screen and I wasn't expecting the CG to be so lifelike. Was worried the quality of detail and animations would still lag behind that of the Jurassic World films, but nope, impressive stuff all around and there's tons of sequel series potential. -

With Yuzo Koshiro and Black Box on the soundtrack, action scenes w/ heavy use of practical effects and a tone and visual style celebrating 80's-early-90's action movies? Yes please! ^_^ -
Music ~*The Music Thread*`
heydude93 replied to GeneticBlueprint's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Took me until today to realize they had a new album coming. SW's recent stuff is some of his best imo and his perspective in later PT albums seems even more relevant now for better or worse, so definitely looking forward to this -
Oh cool! ^_^ I haven't gotten to that part but I knew some of that and yeah I've heard the battle w/ her definitely lives up to her reputation in the story so far.

Apparently at one point Radahn was so strong he defeated the stars in the sky and held them in place with his powers over gravity. Then he fought Melenia.

Dang, the Radahn fight was surprisingly easy when you realize all you gotta do is summon NPCs on the battlefield to distract him! It's almost a letdown given how hyped-up his character in the story/lore was.

I haven't seen it yet so this is speculation, but was Logan not an example of this? It definitely seemed like a more character-driven, emotional arthouse story than most superhero films. And Joker was basically Taxi Driver + King of comedy for the current generation, so that definitely fits the bill. In any event, I wouldn't doubt the possibility of several MCU movies like that being made soon since it's a pretty solid idea.
