Excerpt from recently updated Operation Upshot-Knothole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M65_Atomic_Cannon
Picatinny Arsenal was tasked to create a nuclear capable artillery piece in 1949. Robert Schwartz, the engineer who created the preliminary designs, essentially scaled up the 240mm shell (then the max...
the idea of tactical nuclear weapons is so fucking batshit insane
SHODAN my beloved
can you imagine if the guard had access to nuclear shells on the regular
imperium would never lose wars
how to defeat nids: fire 10000 tactical nukes at them
Isn't that what they do?
nah they shoot boring WW2 type shit
just normal shells
also did you guys know that soviets had a nuclear torpedo
imagine getting slammed by a fucking underwater nuke
the thing wasn't even supposed to hit directly. it was the shockwave that was meant to fracture the ship hull
Tbf part of the reason why (in lore) they don't just nuke things is because they still want stuff to still remain. Gotta get workers into the factories ASAP and having them be nuked is bad.
Also mutants can happen via radiation. So you might just get things that are worse.
Other reason why is because we actually tried that.
But also that soldiers aren't exactly consistent in intelligence
Some dumbass misfiring a shell would just destroy the entire artillery enplacement

when Psyker explodes in Darktide, they should explode in a purple mushroom cloud killing everything around them
i also just found out that the US had an air to air nuclear missile because why not i guess
I think mainly to counter other missiles
no this was during the brief era before ICBM's were the main nuclear delivery system
Nvm then that's just weird
jet bombers were expected to fly to the enemy and bomb directly
so im guessing the nuke missile was meant to take out a whole flock of them
you wouldn't be able to stop an ICBM with air to air missiles because those things literally go to space i think
stopping nukes with nukes
just nuclear devices everywhere in the 50's
i'm sure you heard of the davey crocket before
Yeah that's partially why it was scrapped
Soldiers can vary heavily in intelligence
And accidents happen
So imagine accidents happening with a fucking mini nuke

the fact that a unit level officer could authorize a nuclear weapon being used
the 50's were wild
I think MacArthur wanting to nuke China during the Korean War is an example of generally what the consensus on Nukes were at the time
They were just thought of as any other weapon
fallout isn't even that far fetched with the mini nukes
that would have still been a strategic use of nukes is the thing
MacArthur was far from a good human being. But genuinely, I don't think even he 100% understood the ramifications.
Iirc MacArthur wanted to glass the border between the Koreas too
Dude was like
Actually insane
and anyways im sure he understood what he was doing anyways. he prob just didn't care about civilian casualties
guy was just evil
not ignorant
...wonder how an alternative timeline would be like if that happened
maybe that would have happened if japan didn't get nuked
True. The Korean war in general was just a fucking mess.
Both South Korea and North Korea had basically their own evil despots at the helm
It's just that South Korea eventually moved on from that (unless if you count Samsung) while the North uhhh
Didn't

Nah SK has like
Cyberpunk tier corporations tbh
I do count Samsung as evil
It's just not quite NK
However
One should not compare evils, Kruber.
btw this is one of my fav bombers, the hustler. it's a nuclear bomber like i was talking about
correct opinion
its sole purpose was delivering nuclear payloads
In general, SHODAN > GlaDOS

Although I kinda want System Shock 3...
If it ever actually gets worked on.
To follow up on the plot thread of System Shock 2. Where SHODAN essentially possesses a human body.
Like imagine the blow to her ego that would be.
Firstly she gets beaten by a "filthy insect".
Then she's forced to work with another human to defeat The Many.
Then she gets beaten by him.
And then finally, she's forced to possess a "filthy insect" just to survive
Again.
Her plans were meant to be flawless.
But they failed.
too bad we got bioslop
take that back
also new bioshock game is currently being developed
it WILL be bad
and you will play it anyways
Tbf, a lot of the old "OmG amazing games" have started to become horrible to experience. So either my tastes have changed, or the companies have lost the thread
you just can't handle peak FPS
one of the most quotable games of all time
I played and completed Delta Force 1998 even though I didn't understand English ๐ค
anyways wtf are they even going to do with bioshock 4 like i'm genuinely curious where the story could go
they had to change the entire setting to make infinite feel fresh
and 4 is apparently going to be back to the sea
it's going to be so creatively bankrupt
Following the logical order of events we're going to space
and the setting is in the late 1800's if we follow the time periods
started with 1930's with 1 and 2 and then went to like the 10's in infinite
I would kill for a Treasure Planet game
Or an Atlantis The Lost Empire game that's good
also i cant stress enough just how much i dislike the plot to infinite
i know it has its fans
it's a very divisive game
like when we see the airships attack a 1980's new york i laughed so hard
even as a kid
like you're telling me F16's can't just send those to the ground immediately
yeah
MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD. Viewer discretion is advised.

Bit of both
I replayed some oldies recently and they haven't aged so well
i have taken the time to separate the part of my brain that cares about graphics so i can appreciate older games better
and tbh graphics matter so little for a game's overall quality
Kida influencing my taste in women since I saw that
Great movie
also this might be heresy but i dont think the half life games are that good story wise
i don't know why they're treated as perfect games by some people
Hl1 has a stupidly good story that influenced games past it for better or worse
half life 1 is like a borderline incomprehensible game
and 2 is just generic action movie
Wasn't there gonna be a BS in Antartica ?
4 has a 1960's antarctic setting according to some leaks i guess
but also it's in a terrible situation dev wise
Wasn't there some old BS devs that left and are also making a BS styled game but underground ?
More the gameplay that matters
Sys shock 2 was still fun but the gameplay was iffy at times
the story is half the reason bioshock became popular
bioshock 2's gameplay is overall an improvement over the first game but it's completely forgotten because the story is pretty meh
bioshock would just be another good 2000's shooter if it wasn't for rapture, would you kindly and all that shit
2 had you play as a Big Daddy
2 had big sisters which are a super important part of the plot yet nobody remembers they exist compared to big daddies
there's only 2 games set in the underwater location
apart from burial at sea DLC in infinite
big sisters are forgotten because 2 is just a forgettable game
apart from the fact that you're a big daddy
hell, people only even remember the bouncer big daddy
probably because it's on all the marketing material
there's something really perfect about the big daddy design that itches all the video game monster needs
i remember seeing it on a game case as a kid in a rental store and being captivated by its design
But where is big uncle
Big Uncle is in fact Big Daddy
hard to beat old nautical themes
the old diving bells and what not
this is real and true
there's something both beautiful and terrifying about early industrial navy aesthetics
yup
i think big daddies work so well also because they really hit a uncanny valley feel
they're so close to looking human yet also not being fully identifiable
cartoon characters
the proportions are all over the place
and the head isn't in a natural position
it looks like a huntchback which further makes it look alien
dont they also just do normal day to day tasks in the background too? just gives them this strangely natural feeling dispite the terror they can cause if you have to fight them
yup you see them in the background of the game doing maintenance and stuff
since that's their actual lore purpose
In the water outside
dont forget the very unsettling whale songs they do instead of speaking
making them sound somewhat tragic
the game really makes you hate yourself for killing them
they just want to chill really
Jay can you like
never share any of your takes, ever
pretty please
i think it's also kinda cool that we never really learn what they look like under their diving suits
Bioshock 2 is pretty universally disliked compared to the first one though
oh it was about Half Life not Bioshock
i don't personally dislike 2 but i understand why it isn't as popular as the first game
making a sequel to bioshock was never going to work
then why did you say Bioshock 2 ๐ญ
Jay was talking Bioshock
2 also tries to explain things that didn't need to be explained
why does this look 3d? wtf is wrong with me
I didn't scroll up

Welcome to sequels
i think burial at sea did a much better job than 2
for a DLC it's just surprisingly good
what
jay you are the type of guy to say Ride to Hell Retribution is a masterpiece
smh bioslop
It is in its own way ๐
idk i just think it's a very strange DLC in an already strange addition to the bioshock series
me @ you btw
is this the SpaceKing everyone is talking about
Genuinely one of the funniest games
Yea
not only does it return to rapture but it also turns the game into a stealth shooter
and it somehow works??
It really doesnt
burial at sea is famously divise lol
infinite is a very divisive game by itself
i think the story is annoying af
but i like it regardless
I mean
its because Infinite is not a gret game
its not even divise lol
a lot of people just didnt like it
Its just a bioshock game confused by its identity with a really bad plot and boring gameplay loop
if you wanna clap when Pornzabeth opens a Tear i guess its fine
the story just goes off the rails at like the middle mark
and god the ending is so bad
my favorite part is like
and the failure to utilise the skyhook mechanic in any way that could be considered interesting
"we need to kill you to make sure comstock never happens"
IT WAS ACTUALLY THE MULTIVERSE THE WHOLE TIME
I can't stand Troy Baker in it
Basically lol
well it was the early days of Troy Baker in everything
LOL
the game wants to make the reveal feel like you were the bad guy the whole time but it just makes you fucking hate the girl for killing our boy booker
I can't recall a single instance of the skyhook mechanic where it was required after it was introduced with a short tutorial on it
Elizabeth is just a walking sexdoll anyway so its fine
even for traversal you could usually avoid using it
like our booker literally did nothing wrong why is he blamed for some alternate universe retar
they literally had a presentation of the main director breaking down her character to essentially say shes a disney princess
which was creepy as shit
lmao
it's literally the same logic as the multiverse guy from invincible
but somehow treated as the good thing
and with Angstrom you can AT LEAST get why
because hes fucking brain damaged and merged with multiple personalities
where they outright say "Out of all the Marks you choose one of the good ones to attack and kill?"
lmao
booker literally risked his life to save a random child and he's treated the same as the literal racist segregationist
the fate of all white men ๐
Bioshock Infinite was also incredibly easy compared to Bioshock 1, which was already much easier than System Shock 2.
and Prey and Dishonoured both took the concepts and gameplay in more interesting directions
i don't think dishonored is comparable
because it's good
it seems pretty similiar to me
you play a white guy
and gotta rescue a white chick
and also kill people
Yes, the world building for Infinite was really lacklustre
prey also only has like the wrench and 2 hand gun-power mechanic
and no other similarity
there was like so much cut since its reveal on E3 iirc
it can be its entire video
Didn't the 2nd have you play as a black woman ? Which cause quite some people to screech on the internet when it released ?
No?
the start of infinite is like one of my top game intros
its alwas Booker
I think I was still buying PC Powerplay monthly back when Infinite was announced
For Dishonored
Dishonored 2 had the expansion
Not BS
and there was a significant amount of cutting
the reveal of the city in the clouds is so good
Do you mean death of the outsider?
oh yeah Death of the Outsider
It was a dlc
Bioshock 1 had a fair bit cut from concept to delivery as well though
that's a whole other can of worms
yeah but it didnt lie about it
they significantly reduced the System Shock 2 roleplaying elements

I probably still have the magazine announcement for Bioshock 1 somewhere XD
the lead director of infinite overpromised hard
but yes, they didn't lie
iirc they acknowledged the cuts to systems after player focus group tests
because in the 2000s people found the roleplaying elements and inventory management too difficult
Ogryn brained decade
i think the game was made better by its simplicity
before every shooter became a lite-RPG
like i said earlier, the story is what carries bioshock 1 hard
the problem for BS 1 is that once they used that storyline, its novelty ceased
it was never supposed to have sequels to be fair
and they then tried to re-tell the same story in BS 2 and BS:Infinite
infinite tried something new
but it ended up just pissing off everybody
like why call it bioshock still
In terms of narrative elements, it was not trying anything new
Old wine in new bottles is the saying
you sure? it has a pretty different narrative
the only real big similarity is the late game shocker reveal but both are very different
it tried making too many points
like when your game has literal segregationist era america and a race war as a minor plot element you know shit's too muddled
LOL
yea but that would be woke
yeah like no offense
if you still somehow get "offended" by a segregation revolution element as a "gamer" you might need to be beaten on the streets too
kinda pisses me off even more how they had that element in the game but the multiverse had to be the main thing
Its the same case IRL where those "people" get offended at this stuff
multiverse storylines are the worst crutch in storytelling
Cause there can be cases where game depict segregations in ways that is quite dishonest.
the game starts off with booker interrupting a public stoning of an interacial couple
didn't say stopped
the illusion of choice.....
booker de witless
i wish the game kept the weapon wheel
the weapon pickup inventory just feels like devs copying call of duty
and you end up only using like the same weapons anyways
me playing my personal game of lets see if Troy Baker is in this
oh also the handymen are a pretty poor imitation of big daddies and they're not nearly as memorable
I love Dispatch but me and my friend were playing Saints Row 3 a few weeks ago from fucking 2011 and its INCREDIBLE how Laura Bailey's entire career is her doing the exact same voice in every single game ever
really goes to show that sometimes VA work is all about clout more than actual range
oh yea
theres deadass no difference in her as Serana and her as Black Widow ๐
that's just the guy who voices archer and bob's burger
yeah but his voice isnt oversaturated
lol
it was to the point that my friend literally just made Invisigal in the game ( i was Dutch from RD2)
TAHITI
AN UNTOUCHED PARADISE
๐ฃ๏ธ
lumbago
Im real sick John...
The scene where her and Pierce sing Opposites attract is peak though
its alright

I don't think I remember anything from Saint Row except the Dubstep gun and the Marital aid melee weapon ๐
thats Saints Row 4 so checks out, garbage
oh nah why they got male strippers doing chariots
it always sounded like bootleg gta to me
LMAO
thats literally the entire reason it got made to disapprove this dumbass view
It's the only mission where I drive slowly so I can get the entire thing
its never been like GTA in any way lol
SR2 was pretty cool but the latter ones went off the deep end
Yeah entirely due to the GTA thing
it's gta with just cause gameplay and stuff like dido bats added so people actually talk about it
Someone post Rebecca Black
the devs thought what the ydid with SR1 and SR2 wanst enough
so they just kept getting sillier and sillier until the franchise basically died
the lack of innovation and other shit just didnt really help lol
hilarious because the fan favorites are literally the first 2 games from how tonally different they are from GTA itself
you could say they beat a dead horse
Not even beat
its more like uhhh
ignoring to ever feed the horse
going to another horse
and beating that one to death instead

dont worry gta 6 will have the same effect
it really wont
there's no way it lives up to the hype
Rockstar games are always peak because they innovate and got great stuff in them.
It will
idk why people say this
Saints 4 was peak you're just a hater
lol
Rockstar can
like-
people always say "rockstar cannot beat their last game"
for the last 2 decades
lol
Ehh, I'm sure it'll be a good game but people are way overblowing it
Having to beat up Keith David in an alleyway with Rhoddy Piper to break his mind control, pure peak
Weekend is arrive, time to waste it ๐
I'm sorry you've never consumed media
well this time it will happen
also gta online exists
Nobody cares
Can't wait to buy 1000 of Shark bucks ๐ต
and that alone proves rockstar can fuck up
GTA6 more like I wanna be a cowboy babey
Not really
it doesnt prove anything
its just a side hustle for money
lmao
I really do hope they've taken a good look at the mission structure design of their games with it though
GTA online their infinite money printer is a fuck up?
it's not good
i know id be
Like it's fucked up, but it's not a fuck up
Theres a mission where you ruin a crypto-bro party and make them lose billions
so uhhh

RDR online is a thing, so yeah rockstar can fuck up
That one's valid
its not really fucking up if they dont even care about it tbh
considering their investment in it is essentially 0
dilara get off the multi billion dollar company's dick
the smartest move they did with RDR online was abandon it
Let me grind for 30 hours doing missions so that I have 4 dollars to buy a new hat
Coming from a guy who doesnt even like Half Life, quiet down bitch
I don't like GTA Online but from R*s perspective I don't see how it's a fuckup
its very much not yeah
yeah i despise valve what of it
imagine not liking half life
they also had no idea how successful GTA 5 and Online were gonna be
well he is a femboy
the horror
The Oppressor Mk II is the dumbest shit ever added to anything but it made them probably more money than I ever will
100%
I meant more so that you don't insta fail if you walk 2 meters to the wrong way etc
I mean I can understand not liking HL1 because its super old atp. Black Mesa is the way to go
more open ended ways of doing stuff
Oh that lol tbh its a GTA 5 thing so not surprised
Rdr online RP is also like the most pretentious community I've seen, while the GTA one is chill
it's also a RDR2 thing
black sloppa play HL1 the way it was meant to be played
"WE NEED YALL, TO HAND OVER THE ๐ฅท "
god no
fuck no lmao
crung
HL1 is incredibly dated
GORON
Suffer how I suffered
STAPH
it's not the gameplay of 1 i dislike it's the story and pacing
I did
"story and pacing"
It's literally everyone just standing in the town and arresting anyone who tried to do anything
ITS A GAME FROM 1999
I completed HL1 mutliple times while I was a Kid ๐
LMAO
another 1998 classic just like delta force, I didn't know what they were saying
also well there's something with 90's fps games pacing which i just hate in general
it was the first of its kind
yeah you are biased so your opinion should be taken with a grain of 9mm ammo imo
fuck I remember playing Delta Force 2 alot
"hey stop jumping, you're making people uncomfortable don't make me call the sheriff" type shit
it wasn't the first media to have pacing dilara
peak UI and gameplay, unbeaten to this day
Minecraft?
silence zoomer
im 31, shut up fuckhead
so youre saying: Theres people who RP the KKK 
i'm 32 so you're still a zoomer to me
i think the original fallouts are my most enjoyed 90's games because the UI is surprisingly not clunky
silence urself zygote
also of course doom
lame
meanwhile xcom
I should give Fallout 1 another go but I cba dealing with the controls
im so happy that my childhood had games like dead space and bioshock
my childhood is source games like Half Life 2 
i did not enjoy half life 2 as much prob because it was a bit before i was old enough to understand the tech
jay you are like 20 years old
HL2 flexed so hard when they had actual game physics
the fucking seesaw
This shit is unbeaten to this day, cowadoody could NEVER
its great
also i love how people bring it up as if your average gamer could solve any other complex physics puzzle ever lmao
i just don't think it makes for a good game just because it's technically impressive
I mean it does
Valve game designing is genius
i could play a nvidia physics demo but that isn't fun is it
theres like
HL2 is poppin it's a great game
if even my pre middle school ass understands what Valve is trying to convey with their level design
I THINK about 3-4 physics showcases in multiple hours across the game?
that shits good
i think the story is just pretty generic for an action movie inspired thing
you will never know what it's like to play ravenholm as a 11 year old and you should weep
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
no it was not dilara
yes it was jay
i need you to go to the corner of the classroom now
your free-talking permit is up

ok but what game does Jay likes tho 
idk how you can call half life story generic
idk, twinks probably
real
people still talk about the said/unsaid lore stuff in half life to this day
It has been almost 20 years since HL2 EP2 and I'm still waiting
there is nothing else really like it, and the combine are so distinct
^
it just is generic idk what else to say. i'm a big action movie fan and it just screams 2000's action movie to me
the concept artists legit cooked
"2000's action movie"
game literally came out in the early 2000's
LMFAO
I cant with this man
๐ญ
that's what i'm saying dilara
it's just a copy of whatever was popular at the time
Probably a dumb question but I legit just never got too deep into techmarines lore, but do they worship both the Omnissiah and Big E or like they see them as the same thing?
"whatever was popular"
I miss old pfp Jay ๐
literally what
gone too soon
Depends but mostly yes.

Holy trinity thing going on, it's the same slightly different
all i can say is, "tell me you didnt pay attention to the story without saying you didnt pay attention to the story"

^
never let jay cook
there's literally no story to miss
I deadass almost posted something BDSM related I had on my clipboard because I was curious wtf it was ๐
it's a very simple scenario
smh gen z is cooked
"no story to miss"
So pretty much a spectrum where some may see them as same thing or different entities
Is there much internal conflicts between regular marines between tech marines? Due to their probable religious difference
literally every single bit where you can meet characters
Jay you're starting to sound like the crazy person in #darktide-driptide who claimed Breaking Bad had a shit overrated story with bad actors
i like portal's story way more
LMFAOOOOOOOO
When Jerk says this to you, you KNOW you are fucked
๐ฅ
the fuck kind of take is that?
Also "very simple scenario"
Literally the near extinction of the human species
"It insists upon itself"
breaking bad is my most watched series and im still trying to force dilara to watch pluribus
Someone who only speaks in driptide
jm not a contrarian
I mean the story is very very a show dont tell type of thing considering we play as a mute
I WILL watch it, the plot sounds great, i just need time
Portal also does the same thing but how is HL worse ๐
i don't like using the terms better and worse but i prefer portal's story more
it feels so much more unique
I want her to tell me to kill myself so bad

you are only saying this because it has a giant mommy robot destroyng twink-spheres
yandere robot ahh
ok as bad as Jay's half life take is this is honestly even worse, at least half life 2 has gameplay to possibly distract the player
portal feels like a way more private experience because it's just you and glados
you feel so isolated
just a worse shittier shodan 100%
portal is in the half life universe
so?
i only learned that recently
how
So what you mean is you want to be alone in a room with GladOS
never played portal
Uh huh
ah
omg I just saw lmao
the hell is pluribus even about
lesbian
Shodan could do things to me
im actually still scared of glados unlike you brain melted weirdos
she's a terrifying character
I just recently binged season 1 The Pitt
that was surprisingly better than what I expect from medical shows
Terrifyingly sexy!
Basically TLDR: Normal show about Kim Vexler before the entire world falls under a hivemind influence and loses individuality but shes unaffected, the Season for the most part is the hivemind trying to convince her to join them
But its done in like a really good Breaking Bad dark comed fashion
it's hard to tell if glados is truly evil or just broken
shes very much evil
LMAO
she is
"mmmm NEUROTOXIN"
oooh so something like Barry type sh
but the second game gives her some sympathy
Yeah its very funny
It's yap lord Rho but take a look at this, he reads an excerpt about it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxA4nAPCuW0
Hey everyone Wolf Lord Rho here! Today we're discussing the interesting situation of a Space Marine Techmarine. How their loyalty is truly split between the realms of the Adeptus Astartes and the Adeptus Mechanicus... Highlighted in particular by a Techmarine of the Dark Angels chapter!
A Spoiler Warning to begin as the events we're discussing ...
I think Jay is a robotfucker..
he is
who isn't these days
btw i stopped watching rick and morty because it made me lose brain cells after season 4
i now have a justification for hating the show
Getting ready for the techmarine for sm2 and because im making an oc about it
god does it think it's smarter than you for being edgy
It's nihilismslop
i want to say something but i think protogens can be counted in this metric so i cant
i hate rick as a character so fucking much
I couldn't watch much of Richard Mortimer but Smiling Friends did it for me
PICKLE RICK GRAA
and not because you're meant to hate rick
hot tip: epilating fucking hurts, holy shit who invented this
i hate how he literally ex machinas everything
i hate that whole show
ofc its the kind of humor i cant stand so
if i could explain rick as a character i'd say
imagine one punch man
now go watch season 1 of one punch man
I nvr watch rick and schmorty anyways
dont think about rick and mortg
I hate this miserable motherfucker and his nihilismslop cartoon.
He is the embodiment of a smug neckbeard's conception of intelligence - arrogant, unpleasant, nihilistic and only solving problems after they bite him in the ass. He is a manchild with barely any sense of responsibility, since I guess the writer wanted a nerdish power fantasy for...
did you write this jay
also i have not laughed a single time at the fucking burping
it is NOT funny
shut the FUCK up
maybe if i was like 14 years old
I'm gonna blame persians
think he's meant to be unpleasant and unlikeable
but the conversations just being interrupted by burping pisses me off so much
NO YOU DONT GET IT
the mad scientist in aqua team hunger force is better than Rick
you can't shield a bad character by saying oh he's meant to be shit
but that's how the show operates
i'm not defending rick and morty
the show thinks that acknowledging bad writing makes it funny
which is peak millenial writing
"did i just do that?" type shit
the constant fourth wall breaking
the fucking family guy level pop culture references
hey now, Rick and Morty is pure Gen Z slop
no it's millenial slop tf you mean
gen x
no you gotta punch down jay
idk where this trend of blaming millennials for joss whedon came from
millenials blame z and z blames x
i'm gen z sig
yeah
i can't punch down sig
I meant gen alpha
gen alpha has no sentience
They're like mid teens
yeah but they're gen alpha
punch down anyways unless it's baby boomers
unfortunately gen alphas are being brainrotted by something less funny
incel influencers ๐
Jay your generation has been tainted by shit like uncle grandpa
did you know the traditional samurai chonmage was achieved by epilating
Uncle Grandpa was peak dont @ me
Uncle Grandpa was worth it just for this one picture
i grew up with the peak of trash cartoons, ed edd and eddy
ed edd n eddy was good
that's 90's trash so it's somehow considered good
it was
EEnE and Courage was top tier
yup
90's cartoons were legit brainrot
courage is so good
Gumball and Adventure Time is my GOAT
you cant tell me beavis and butthead isn't brainrot
yeah adventure time's great
yeah but beavis and butthead wasn't for the kids
that was by gen x for gen x
^
That shit was on MTV it wasn't for cool kids
kids still warched it
same as how rick and morty wasnt for kids either
or Hey Arnold
rugrats gave us some funny image macros, which is what we called them at the time
i had johnny test which is like proto brainrot
i also didnt even enjoy cartoons but wtf else watch on tv
i fucking hate spongebob
some cartoons in the 90s were like seinfeld for toddlers it's fucking baffling
it wasn't good to watch
i can't believe i had tv in my lifetime
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters sucked the life out of me
never saw that one
i have not watched tv in literal decade
same
what a backwards caveman era
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was peak anime also
flapjack was good
i think early 2010's was the best era to watch anything
because netflix had everything
flapjack is pure body horror and its great because of that
you can still watch everything, you just didn't grow up before netflix so you don't know how
flapjack is only watchable as an adult
the random closeups they did was so grossly funny
i didnt like it as a kid
it was convenient!
no
The Powerfuff Girls was weirdly violent at times, they monkey had his brain exposed to the air on repeated occasions
new zealand url and watch literally whatever you want, it's legal
Mojo Jojo was a great villian
the androgynous villain gets me at times
oh speaking of that art style: samurai jack
what was the most fucked up thing you watched as a kid
jump good
i observed my sisters watching the grudge as a kid
why tf they gotta do it to him like that
that always made me uncomfortable
teeth flying everywhere
fucking adult swim, that fucking peanuts gang holloween spoof they did fucked me up
My brother made me watch Event Horizon at like 8 or 9
....I actively watched a full playthrough of Manhunt 2 as a kid
little me got that morbid curiosity when I dont even know how to process wtf Im watching ๐
this is legit the most commonly heard childhood trauma i've heard from millenials
the worst things i saw as a kid were real things, because for some reason that was popular to pass around at the time
I also started browsing 4chan in like 2006 when I was 13 and it probably messed me up
EVENT HORIZON FUCKING RULES
and i find it hilarious because i understand completely how that movie would scar you
never seen it
it was so fucking good
deadass Event Horizon made me sick after that scene
but my house only had old ass movies on hand
Im never watching that film ever again dawg
have you seen the cut footage
but i mean, i guess if you were 8
no shot it's worse than The Thing
glory to the hidden king
im trying to remeber how old i was when i saw the Thing
no, we're talking about body horror being gross
and practical effects body horror peaked with wet puppets
I was like in my teens already
ofc it's worse than the thing
which are so gross they're cartoony and have no impact
I dont handle horror well
body horror and gore doesnt effect me much anymore, physiological horror still gets me though
there's stuff like hostel and human centipede which i just don't want to watch
it's not hitting the cartoony vibe, just awful
i hear human centipede was shit
it's so 2000's
yeah centipede was shit, obviously it was shit
painfully 2000's
Y'all think Konrad Curze would be a Dracula Flow fan
but in terms of body horror it's not just the spectacle of a nasty thing, it's also the spectacle of someone being put in an emotionally fucking awful position for a prolonged period of time
he wouldd skin him for breaking some random minor law
so no
compare event horizon and the thing: they either die or go insane before the real spectacle goes down
everybody knows the human centipede from the concept alone
and the second movie is apparently unwatchably gross
"He jaywalked... I must skin him alive and stitch it as a cape"
yup
Was the 2nd the Texas prison one
The Walrus was worse than centipede
Im moving different, this shit aint nothin to me man ๐ฃ๏ธ
i read a plot synopsys for centipede 2, it's really unappealing
that's the third i think
The end of the Walrus was such a mind fuck
They must've forgotten im him
Ive been him
also the director/writer for centipede is kinda scum
Mecha Gal
horror movie fans are literally the oldest demographic of slop eaters
Walrus ending with the victim being put in a Zoo, while his ex-gf start to go out with his best friend was definitely a choice ๐
it's legit the least quality section of movie genres
and yet also the most devoted fanbases
it's really weird
That's mainly cause Mainstream studio kinda rejected Horror movies, so it developped in the margins
they just dont put value on horror
you can count on your fingers the number of active horror directors who aren't shit rn
They outright consider it negative value.
Iirc there is a director that said that going into horror is most often just going to shut down your career outside of horror, as studio are not gonna consider you the same way
that really sucks
also my hot take is horror movies will never be as good as horror games
It's easier to scare in a game
actually being present in the story adds such an important element
because you feel there
not as a character
games make the horror more personal so ofc they are better than movies
And you have actions, feel more personal
i can think of hereditary which has those first person moments where the character is looking at darkness
which feels like video game moments
whats that horror game in the bunker in ww1?
amnesia the bunker?
yup
Are astropaths the only way of communicating with other planetary systems in the galaxy or are there mechanical ways to do it
that would be no where as good as a movie
you'd be surprised how many horror games take place in WW1 bunkers
i can think of 3
one of which i dont remember the name
ww1 was hell on earth so frankly im only surpised there isnt more horror games about it
that aspect is pretty overdone tbh
every depiction of WW1 has to be about how terrible it was
but just the very specific european trench scenes
They should do a Osowiec WW1 game
make a ww1 game about being in the army of the orient, just sit around doing nothing for 3 years lmao
WW1 game as Japan
japan-soviet battle game would actually go hard
yummy flamethrowners in the trenches
and then ask a seat at the table when the war wnds
Help put down a uprising in Singapore
And get said Tsingtao and Pacific Islands
Not that bad of a deal
ww1 game about being in the US troops. show up at the last minute fight one battle and the war ends
still end up hating the west
Mostly coz of sanctions
And man who doesn't hate sanctions
I mean
Astropath are the most long ranged, but there are Radio communication (the Signal mission is one such case)
germany sure hated them
Other mechanical ways
Those were really deserved sanctions but...
But astros are just the best
Oh and the reparations too
nothing starts a war quite like taxes
Who doesn't get riled up by bloody taxes
If man could choose to eliminate one of life's two constants
It would probably be taxes that gets canned
-Lufgt Huron
Sanctions on Germany after WW1 were quite crazy
sure didn't stop germany from doing WW2
It was one of the reasons for WW2
They started getting around the Restrictions and Sanctions
The Schachtplan was all things considered a pretty aight economic plan
Until the idiots started their warmongering
fascists need an enemy
Ofc
How else to demonstrate national supremacy
Then go kick some smaller dude in the shins
i do find it funny whenever somebody says something that can be summed up as "germany sure would have done better if it wasn't fascist and doing fascist things"
Basically
Nazifascism being the most idiotic, evil and sterile branch of fascism certainly didnt help
yeah but they only took power because of the reparations
So basically depends on distance
I see
The European Union and the French policy of the Rapprochement were honestly the game changer for the way Germany is now, more so that the East/West Germany separation
the economic problems in Germany that lead to the rise of the Nazi party where a direct result of the reparations imposed after ww1
im talking about after fascists took power and how some people will act like the domestic side of things can be viewed separately from the war side
It was the smart way tbh
as if it's not just one big machine
oh yeah you right on that
This was a historical moment for the future of the EU
Not just fuck the neighbour
If the Morgenthau Plan was enacted instead of the Marshall plan Europe would be cooked
And the people you're trying to communicate with having the receptive system you need
Shouldve just done this from the get go instead of wasting decades faffing around
i mean, centuries of Imperialism is hard to overcome, many places in the world still havent
if I was dictator I'd just do it ๐ซก
Wouldn't have been really possible before
Unfortunately in France, everyone from Proto-Fascists like La Cagoule to Leftist Trade Unionists hated "Fucking Fritz"
Like even then there were some critics of Mitterrand after that move (which had been initiated by Kohl)
I acknowledge what has been said and I respond with skill issue on the krauts and baguettes part
Historical Emnities can be surprisingly long lasting

For good reason, Sw*den should burn
because humans are stupid shortsighted and hyper focused on the past
there is a reason visonaries are rare
After WW1 iirc it was just Clemenceau trying to get revenge for the cucking of France in the 1870s
Yes
Still mad about the Kalmar Union
Maybe yall shouldnt have tried to make Swedes pay tax

Mfers stole Skรฅne Halland and Blekinge
holy shit thats one of the most painful things i've done in my life
why do the Swedes and the Danes hate each other?
feels like slowly peeling my skin off
I met a guy from Denmark who insisted Lund and Malmo are true danish clay
Jokes nowadays, 300 years of war in the past
Danes lost the Skane to Swedes
sweden used to be an empire, everyone around sweden hates sweden
And also Swedes technically destroyed the Kalmar Union
But nowadays its all good fun
yeah it's become friendly in the last century
wtf are you doing to yourself?
It's true tho
epilating
wtf is that
using a little machine that's like a shaver except it grabs the hairs and pulls them out with the root
i asked this question to a swede last week and apparently they're both nordic countries
Cant wait for the Lego invasion of Ikea 3
so you are preforming medieval torture on yourself got it
Sweden and Denmark big same but hate each other
Norway too but uh
Fyck norway wtf is Nynorsk
Jay do you know like
There's not so much difference between Denmark Noray and Sweden
how cultures work
Are you using an epilator
dilara name 3 cultures
Basically torture
ye, that's what i said
agartha isnt real
anyway norway didn't have independence for a long time
black ops origin reference?
Who hasn't been to Agartha these days
according to a Danish friend Norway only got independence from Denmark to fuck over the Swedes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agartha dilara lives in the hollow earth
Agartha (variously spelled as Agharta, Aghartta, Agharti, among many other spellings) is a legendary kingdom that is said to be located on the inner surface of the Earth. Though the exact story varies, as there are many different versions, it is usually said to be located in Central Asia and led by a powerful figure sometimes called the King of ...

That'll explain a lot
anyway n*rway should also burn for letting us be handed over to the danes
Im too brainrotted for this
Yeah, the wifi sucks here
Skill issue on your parts 
when the worthless island changes colonial overlord
Norway got taken over by Sweden from Denmark
I just partially recovered from ssri withdrawal. I don't need to be flashed with "Agartha"
norway got passed back and forth between sweden and denmark for a while so we have old beef with both
everyone has beef with sweden for thinking they're better than everyone else for being a former empire
Then Sweden lost Norway voz the Swede King wanted to fuck the Samling over uh
Taxes
It used to be semi-profitable way back when ok the Norwegian king had land there โ๏ธ ๐ค
