Well yeah fuck that guy and this program and it’s implications, but this particular issue doesn’t sound too unexpected considering the scope of the procedure.

I’m all for the science, but you know this is going to be some directly streamed ads hellspace we’ll never escape from if it comes to fruition.

Here’s a good rule for this sort of thing to move forward: No implants before right to privacy and freedom from advertising.

Line from a solid song by a local band i found when i was 16. Oddly enough, it never occured to me how much i liked it as a name until a decade later.

I’ve played most of the metroid games, and i know theres a ton of nostalgia for super metroid, but to this day nothing has matched the feeling of exploration and awe from Metroid Prime. Every place in the game was so radically different, and the ability to scan and learn about the environment was so unique, and exactly what i didn’t know i needed. Learning the lore and finding out what happened to the planet only by analyzing everything made the world feel like it had died, and it’s death was a tragedy. All the enemies you encounter are just local animals that don’t know better, or had been corrupted by pollution. That is, until about halfway through the game when you meet actually hostile, malicious intelligence, and the combat steps up exponentially.

It’s fantastic. I still remember being amazed at the fogging and raindrops showing up on the visor the first time you step off your ship on Talon IV. I had never seen graphocs so good, and such attention to detail, and the game was already 4 years old.

The only game i’ve ever played that felt similar was subnautica, and while it had the wonder, it lacked the melancholy and insane combat.

Prime is the best in the series, hands down.

A glen?

Everything Peele.does is a comment on race and racial issues. In no particular order:

1. A guy mentions black strength and athleticism is superior, and would be incredible with a white brain.

2. Nobody notices when black people go missing, and nobody looks for them, as shown by the TSA agent friend failing to get help then doing it himself.

3. They aren’t living as slaves, they’re pretending to be live in groundskeepers while others are around so they can stay with their family.

4.They newly young/strong people enjoy using their bodies that failed them before the switch, hence the guy running all night.

5. While the hijacked bodies being lower standing could be a ploy, or a part of their payment for the procedure, I think it’s more likely a jab at racism being so ingrained that black people are looked down on even when they’re white, possibly even by the people that became black.

6. They choose black people because nobody outside of the inner city neighborhoods they’re taken from would ever recognize them, shown when the main character recognizes the guy at the party.

Nothing the director does isn’t on purpose

The man in question:

Not that it’s not a shitty thing to do, but it also seems like the last person you would rely on for the value of an object is the person selling it to you.

I would think a museum would be better at spotting forgeries.

1. If he’s that good at building furniture, good on him, keep it up.
2. Never would have been illegal to sell lies to poor people.
3. Fuck rich people.

White military guy, firearm instructor, buzz cut, wrap around sunglasses. Bet he knew where he was going.

He’s also a firearm instructor. Fuckin rough combination for an active shooter.
