It’s actually a reference to the blockbuster bomb.

I didn’t say it was HL3. I replied to a post implying the series hasn’t had an update in 20 years.

It’d be like a Star Wars fan wondering why there’s buzz about the movie coming out next year despite it being 42 years since Return of the Jedi. And the answer is that even if that’s the last one that particular fan personally cared about, there has been Star Wars media since then.

Also, Alyx did resolve the HL2E2 ending. It didn’t add a whole lot on past that, but the cliffhanger was very much addressed.

They’re trying Google Glass again?

That cliffhanger got addressed in Half-Life: Alyx. And replaced with a different cliffhanger.

Half-Life: Alyx came out 5 years ago…

Marketing team: “There must be some combination of colors and letters that will make our brand a smash hit. We just need to find them!”

What a terrible title.

Ah. I haven’t switched to Wayland yet so I wasn’t aware of that issue.

There’s also the unofficial flatpak, which works rather well.

I’m running mine in Alpine.

Google search has sucked for a couple years now. DuckDuckGo is better for everything except maps.

Finally they get the title right!

Not everything you see in a paper is automatically science, and not every person involved is a scientist.

That picture is a diagram, not science. It was made by a writer, specifically a columnist for Medium.com, not a scientist. It was cited by a professor who, by looking at his bio, was probably not a scientist. You would know this if you followed the citation trail of the article you posted.

You’re citing an image from a pop culture blog and are calling it science, which suggests you don’t actually know what you’re posting, you just found some diagram that you thought looked good despite some pretty glaring flaws and are repeatedly posting it as if it’s gospel.

What is this nonsense Euler diagram? Emotion can intersect with consciousness, but emotion is also a subset of consciousness but emotion also never contains emotion? Intelligence does overlap at all with sentience, sapience, or emotion? Intelligence isn’t related at all to thought, knowledge, or judgement?

Did AI generate this?

Saw X. A lot of people say it’s their favorite after the original, but I’m not sure I agree. The opening trap that made the poster being a dream sequence felt off, and the final act (where Saw films are usually strongest) felt underwhelming. Also, Amanda was quite visibly older despite this being a prequel to a 20 year old movie, which I found distracting.

It’s still a good 7/10 for having some of the more brutal and memorable traps in the series.

All of Nolan’s Batman movies were heavily pro-cop. Watch TDK again: the day is saved by illegal surveillance, and Batman faces no consequences for using it.

Is this surprising? The prices were always going to adjust to the market. Any new cheap thing that undercuts the market will eventually become the market as it becomes mainstream, and prices will be increased to what the market will bear to maximize profits.
