Thought for the day: if humans were immortal, would we change the world for the better or ruin it even more?

Oh 100% for the worst. It would be horrible

[swedebeast]

Okay, first attempt at XCOM: Terror from the Deep for the first time in 10 years resulted in a sensation, in which I can imagine, feeling much like getting your nuts slammed by a baseball bat, then kicked in the groin, then having 20 liters of boiling oil dunked on your trousers, followed by an angry punch right to the cock.

Just how I remember TFTD.

thought for the day: if everyone adopted the aesthetic of "minimalism" as a lifestyle, would you say that is bad (end of art and passion, etc.) or good (less consumption, etc.)?

Hope you’re having a wonderful day. If not always choose to be nice. Granny peach #TFTD

Thought for the day: Why do cars always part for ambulances?

because the world is not filled with assholes

((You know what'd be cool? Something themed after XCOM: Terror From the Deep. Get on it, Xenonauts team, you've remade UFO Defense now remake Terror From the Deep - with the insane difficulty.))

[transcript of TFTD EP 1. This has been edited to be clearer for the audience]

Hello, Devon here. On this episode of Tales From The Domes I’ll be diving in to the mindsets many Octarians had, along with the desperate scramble that led to the Great Zapfish of inkopolis plaza being stolen a decade ago.

It is no secret that the octarian army lost the Great Turf War. This loss was heavy on them as they believed they had the stronger machinery, and that they were more trained and prepared for a struggle. However, at the final battle where Judd raised the flag a final time, the Octarians had to accept their losses to the Inklings and went underground. Octarian’s have always had strong pride, and despite their losses they held on to it.

Due to a mixture of old mindsets and passed down propaganda against Inklings, we were viewed as lazy and materialistic. A general distaste continued to be held towards them. This only grew and grew as information as the underground domes were very secluded from the outside world. The domes were strong and impressive structures, but as time went on the power eggs we traded to run them could only do so much.

Domes were the underground structures Octarians lived in. While life was strict, the technology was unique and rather advanced. To get from different Domes you transported through Kettles.

Over time, it became much more difficult to maintain power as the reserves went lower and lower. Times became desperate as the Octarians knew their lives were on the line if they didn’t find a new way to get idea. The leader, DJ Octavio, saw that his people were rapidly losing hope. That’s when he decided he needed a change. He would save his people no matter the cost.

Stealing the Great Zapfish wasn’t going to be an easy task, but it was their best bet. Led by Octavio’s morale boosting beats, the Octarians began to make a move as finally their future seemed brighter.

That’s it for today! On my next episode I’ll talk about the taking of the Zapfish and the events that led up to the first Calimari Inkantation performance.

REGARDING PACIFIC RIM: FINAL BREACH

If you didn’t know, Pacific Rim Uprising might be getting a part two!

Yes I am posting this everywhere, lol.

Analysis under the cut!

Yeah, yep. They’re asking for funding for it but it’s real.

Let’s break down the cover for a minute (courtesy of the newmann server :D).

THESE ARE ALL ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON THE COVER, NONE OF THIS IS SET IN STONE + WE DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE STORY IS WRITTEN.

So the very first thing you’ll notice is Jake, Raleigh, and Newt on the cover.

I’m assuming that they’re capitalising on the fact that Hunnam doesn’t actually have to be there to add him to the story (he was busy with something else when PRU was being filmed which is why he wasn’t in PRU).

So already we know this is going to be a deviation from the original PRU:2 (PR3, but we all know it’s PRU:2). Now is this a good thing? Well… who knows. We know almost nothing, but if he’s going to be piloting a Jaeger like the cover suggests through him wearing a pilot suit either he’s going to be piloting with Jake or Mako, meaning they might be reviving her. Otherwise he could be with Nate or Amara but that just seems like it would have less narrative significance. It would be funny if both Raleigh and Mako got revived haha, like a ghost Jaeger lol. ANYWAY, MOVING ON.

Wait. Edit: Not moving on, i have another comment here. It’s entirely possible he might not be piloting at all actually, we seriously don’t know if it’s just been drawn like that because of the reference photos:

that it’s been drawn with. It could just be an oversight, it seems like a waste if they didn’t but it still could be.

So you’re probably also noticing the art style they’ve got going on is pretty realistic looking, I’ve got some theories on that. First off, it could just be cover art, like it’s entirely possible that it’s just cover art. The images themselves are pulled pretty directly from actual photos of them which I’d think would be unsustainable in the long run (maybe they were just trying to present people with something they’re familiar with?) and are pretty realistic which takes a fair amount longer than most comic drawings that we’ve known in the PacRim comics. My second theory is that they ARE doing a very realistic style in an attempt to mimic an actual movie in place of well.. a movie, whether the composition of this is going to be any different to match more closely to a comic who knows. It’s almost a reverse spiderverse if they try to transcribe a cinematic style onto a comic haha.

In terms of the credits up the top, the only credited person on the cover that I’ve managed to find is Fialkov who was also someone that worked on Pacific Rim: TFY0 and Pacific Rim: TFTD. Everyone else is new.

Now the big Jaeger sized elephant in the room, what about the big Jaeger in the back? Well, we know the plan was always to invade the anteverse (the place where the kaiju and the precursors came from) and destroy it, so it’s almost definitely a more armoured version of GAvenger. Other than that? Who knows, again we know almost nothing. We don’t even know who’s piloting it.

In terms of where it sits in the continuity we can also assume it’s probably not going to be compliant with PR:TB since not only is PR:TB barely following any of the lore of Pacific Rim but also the whole premise of PR:TB is that the breaches open and a bunch of Kaiju pour out all over Australia and they can’t stop them, so for PR:FB to have a satisfying ending to a franchise that’s been here for over a decade they’d need to destroy the anteverse, close the breach, and have it never open back up. You see the issue here?

Anyway, that’s about it for now. Once we get more info I’ll go through it again.

thought for the day: how can people so easily excuse bigotry under the guise of “humor”??

RIP, when i used to get tftd every day :(

[warriorprincesstramp]

it's like you will watch one ok movie and then the worst thing you have ever seen in your life and then not watch the third because it's so universally known to be a piece of shit it's not even considered part of the series then watch the unofficial third movie which is also bad and your frenemy jack hunter is there but he's a little kid so you can't even be mad at him and then you fucking commit yourself to three seasons of TV and you hate yourself and then you put it on and woag the show is actually really good? and creative and weird with cool practical effects? and then you ride that high for like eight episodes until it shits the bed next season and the season after that and the best it can get after if surpassed your expectations SO highly is just being kind of ok and unoriginal. and you were so fucking close but so far but you also have to respect the love and integrity and creativity within the show and its passion for the horrific and the strange but well it's FUCKING bad and also every guy ever is there. peepaw kramer is there. kiara carrera is there. darry from jeepers creepers is there. janet from the good place is there. the nazi security guard from green room is there. the blue guy surrogate dad from guardians of the galaxy is there. dewey from scream is there. clear rivers is fucking there.... and there is so much slay in the flop and flop in the slay it gives you a headache and when it's over you're glad but so unsatisfied and now you have this sick comic book of it and you love it but you can't say that without sounding like a fanatic and you're not a fanatic creepshow 2 commited a crime against you it was fucking evil the first movie was so whatever you literally forgot you watched it the next day and tftd sucked ass. but well. you did watch three movies three seasons of tv read a comic book and have two specials on your watchlist. so what now. did i mention that they got fucking kiara carrera in there... they had elroy community in there! and that episode blew HARD! what am i supposed to do with that!

thought for the day: do you think that the act of constantly convincing yourself that you are good is a reflection of you being inherently good or inherently bad?

[tarovrispy]
