Honestly cuter than actual labubu

I definitely agree the last two seasons were crazy rushed. No argument there!

I believe that her arc is a conqueror’s journey disguised as a hero’s journey, and it was done so well that everyone felt betrayed. This thread is for hot takes, so there’s mine. 😄

See here’s the controversial take. I don’t agree with you at all. It was literally built up for the entire series and was the only natural conclusion. She was literally saying “I plan to break the wheel” from the start. That is not language a peaceful person uses. Her goals to begin with were those of a conqueror, and what we got was the natural end of that ambition when it crashes into reality.

I think it was done beautifully, and the fact so many people bought into her side of things and felt betrayed is evidence of how well done it was.

While there were some truly awful moments in the last season of game of thrones, danaerys’ arc was not one of them. Her going nuts was hinted at from the beginning and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Crashed like it was buggy? Never.

I played it a while after release though.

Ah, I see. I wonder how convoluted that’s going to be in a few years 😅

I didn’t know people could post on defederated instances

I’m apparently the only person who really enjoyed 3 all the way through.

Never played it.

I’d say based on his last 3 songs he is now fully political. I mean we’ll see what he does next, but Hind’s Hall 1 and 2, and Fucked Up are all super political and powerful songs.

I’m too old to say what anything this generation is, but look up “fucked up” by Macklemore. Came out at the start of the year and it’s the most rage against the machine esque thing I’ve heard in years. Got me riled up.

Edit: I see you literally called him out in the post, so this is old news to you I’m sure. I’ll leave it for others to find!

Is there much depth to that? I’ve found in the past they keep adding new systems, and each new one has exactly the same issue of being another thing that’s not super deep. And by deep I mean full of surprises and things to learn, not you can technically do it for a long time.

I’ve tried to get into it periodically. I like aspects of it, but it’s also very bland in some ways I find. Like there are infinite cool planets to discover, but the resources are more or less the same on each and across the whole thing. There’s so much to see, but so little meat on the bones I guess?

I need a bit more pulling me forward than what that game gives you I think. The phrase “wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle” has been my experience with it unfortunately. I know a lot of people like it these days, though.

GTA. I’m a SciFi and fantasy guy so it just doesn’t do anything for me.

Yeah why is there a 180 ton pile of wipes in the first place 😆

So in my opinion ai gen images are basically the opposite experience of looking at good art.

A good piece of art has loads of details and nuances that came from the artist’s taste and vision. The longer you look at it the more there is to appreciate. You keep finding new details you missed as you study it.

Ai gens are the opposite. They look fine and competent at a cursory glance, but the longer you look the less meaning you find, and the more defects you discover. Personally I believe this is why they feel so wrong to look at for any length of time.

Saving that infographic for later!

Are you a Spanish speaker? That’s an interesting insight.

Evergreen trees. I know they’re a big deal to people who visit but I grew up around them and think they’re kind of boring.

That’s a really cool way to think about it! I’m a career graphic designer so I work with color all the time, but I hadn’t really put it in those terms before.

Yellow is such a tricky color. I’ve also run into the “dark yellow” issue many times. I’m sure you know this already, but it’s the thinnest band of color as well, meaning it stops looking like itself sooner than any other color as you shift through hues.

Have you heard about how language can affect color perception? I’ve heard that some languages don’t have a word for orange. Something would either be red or yellow. Not only do they not have a word for it, it actually changes those native speakers perception of where a distinct color begins and ends apparently. So where we would see orange as its own band, they don’t. I wish I remembered which language I heard that about, but I find it really fascinating.
