Ouch. I feel that comment on many levels.

Art is there to provoke a reaction, right? It certainly did that.

GO FOR THE EYES BOO, GO FOR THE EYES!!!

I still have a NOX CD, diablo 2, and…BG2. Damn, I should invest in a CD drive and make sure that data is still intact.

Sorry my dude, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I certainly do this, but it’s not an issue. The issue is your expectations upon yourself.

You are playing these games solely for your entertainment. If you don’t feel like finishing, then don’t. Let it go.

I understood this without clicking on the link. Someone give me an award.

Amen.

I’ll give it a shot. The location of the property owned by the 1% is irrelevant. Left/right politics are a construct to keep the masses angry at each other, and keep the focus off of the super-rich and corrupt politicians, who are the real problem.

It doesn’t matter which civilians have guns, because violence isn’t going to fix this.

Voting can fix this, both voting with your dollars (never order from Amazon, for example) and with your vote. For example, if we keep the republicans out of federal government, they cannot continue to fuck over 99% of the population for personal gain. Then perhaps at some point down the line, the republican party will either reform to actually represent fiscal conservativism, or die out and be relaced by something that actually represents it’s voters instead of gaslighting them.

Just to be absolutely clear, I am not catagorically against the republican party. The corruption is evident on both sides. But the republican party has been making horrendous policies since regan was in office, the party cannot be trusted with running this country right now.

Major reforms are needed, and the only party that will enact them (flawed as they may be) are the democrats. But to do that they need control of all three branches of the federal government at once to do so.

No, but the power to make laws lies in the senate / congress. If they are also in republican hands then together they could possibly change the laws to enact a dictatorship.

From the OP’s comment history it looks like they are from Sweden.

I found them to be the best movies I’ve ever seen. But that’s the great thing about being human, we don’t all have to like the same stuff! It would be wierd if we did.

Actually I thought the aliens wouldn’t come back to conquer earth, that would be boring and a tired trope. I thought it would be about rescuing thier people, and everyone on earth just assumes they are here to invade.

I’m no screenwriter, and I’m not sure what social commentary would be appropriate, but it just sounds like a fun movie. And Wikus deserves some closure.

This is exactly what they want you to think. But the republican party is almost at the point where they can’t win a national election even WITH all thier gerrymandering and misinformation. 2024 may be the last election where they even stand a chance.

The ultra-rich want you to believe that it’s hopeless, but it is far from it. Their only options now are to create a dictatorship or give up political power to the left, who (however flawed) actually represent the people.

Touché

Most sequels are sub-par, agreed. But this story does seem half-finished at the end of the film, a sequel would practically write itself.

Agreed

I use openSCAD. It’s 100% programing code input, which seems like a giant learning curve at first. But if you aren’t afraid of it, you’ll soon see how powerful it is. Especially with the additional libraries available. (They have lots of fished parts & shapes, like threads or electronics cases) Also thingverse.com has lots of .scad files to download.

I don’t think any of the behaviors shown are real.
