I grew up accepting the propaganda wholesale, then at some point when I was around 16, my critical thinking skills suddenly switched on all at once and I was like “Wait a second, this is all some bullshit!” This didn’t seem to be due to any external influence, I think my brain just rebooted.
Not really a horror story, but I contacted Amazon yesterday because my package didn’t arrive, and you can only go through AI. I told it the package was marked delivered, but I was standing in the mailroom and it was not. Chatbot says “OK, we’ll send you a new one! Did that help?” And I’m like “Yeah! That was easy.”
Immediately get an email with instructions on returning the damaged package which doesn’t exist, with a note that I will be charged a second time if I don’t send it.
Contact support again like “What the hell?” Chatbot immediately says “OK, here’s a refund, bye!” So now I have a refund and the package, even though I didn’t ask for that.
Moral is stop using Amazon, I guess. I’d rather buy a second one than talk to AI for any length of time.
Tap for spoiler
The false bench before Groal certainly infuriated me, but there was a dream world boss where you had to do at least four gauntlet rooms back to back without checkpoints.
The last movie showed him moving into an awful apartment at the end, I think to show how broke he was, so maybe they’ll hit the notes you’re talking about in the new one.
One of the run-backs near the end of Silksong was so egregious that I literally quit my run and watched a youtube playthrough of the rest of the game. I’ve never done that before.
its not funny anymore, its just too real
Office Space was my favorite movie for a decade, but I can’t watch it any more because it’s too relatable. I imagine Idiocracy might have a similar effect.
Even worse, if the remaster uses Unreal Engine 5 it will probably look like crap compared to the last one.
I just played the remaster of Talos Principle and it looks so much worse it so many ways. I loathe UE5 with a passion.
Did you get both an imperial and metric set? I see a lot of each.
That’s such a weird line. No one talking or checking their phones, just standing single file like zombies.
WD-40 is designed to break up rust and grime and allow something to move again. Because of this, most of it evaporates quickly and the small amount of lubricant that remains wears out quickly. The example I’ve heard is that you would have to reapply it to a bike chain every 10-20 miles. It also removes actual lubricants like lithium grease and graphite.
WD-40 is a terrible lubricant that only works short-term.
