You nailed the analysis here. This is definitely where things get real and then keep getting crazier.
There are a few points where the storied naive adventure spirit tries to reestablish a foothold, but there is an irreversible, looming atmosphere of perilous, mournful tunnel-vision insanity from this point forth.
It’s very impressive how faithful the authors were able to remain to their vision for the series and their empathy for child soldiers and war=bad.
Yikes. strap in!
I’m with you, Mario 64 is one of my all time favorites.
i still play it every few years and sometimes I’ll get the urge to watch the latest world-record speedrun, it’s so much fun to even just watch.
pretty much the only game i do that with.
great screenshots too. there are so many mods for SM64 but I almost always play vanilla, so it’s fun to see you guys as different characters.
SM64 Toad is a psychopath for sure.
congrats on getting to share the game with your friend, and almost hitting a year with your screenshots!
Being weak and scared is Trump and his followers’ whole thing.
this is a really interesting design choice for them. looks good.
piece of shit cowards.
That’s super cool, thanks for sharing.
hahhaha! YES!
if Brooks is making it, sure.
thanks, I’ll keep an eye out.
if you think that despite the overwhelming popular evidence, i don’t think any further examples are going to change your mind.
people complain about Microsoft and Sony all the time.
as you say, Nintendo is “just as evil”, they are all shitty companies that treat their customers like dirt.
Nintendo seems to be the most litigious of all of them, and is now warning people they’ll brick their devices. that their customers bought.
there’s not a bias against Nintendo, there’s a retaliation for their shitty policies that they continue to enact despite their customers protesting and making their preferences known.
it’s literally so bad at this point that I’ve decided not to buy anymore Nintendo products.
doesn’t have to be new to be real shitty!
With their big recent widespread warning I figured it was a new policy.
didn’t know it was just a reminder.
“7 steps are pretty clear…”
you do not have seven steps.
you have provided pages of vague prefaces and conclusions sandwiched around disconnected musings about how seeing beyond a hypothetical veil could occur if one were provided with a hypothetical procedure that reaches no conclusion.
“This exchange is going nowhere healthy or positive - I am all for debates”
you are failing in this exchange. you ask what people think, people are telling you. you don’t want to accept it.
“if you are happy within this dimension…”
you don’t think those beyond your understanding pop intp this dimension?
you are truly limited.
If you ask people if they agree with your cobclusions, and we say no, and your conclusion is “then you are not thinking how I am thinking so you must be wrong”, then the problem is with your narrow perspective and your question, not with everyone else.
“Myth of Sisyphus…”
if you insist on falsely claiming spiritual ownership of a tired metaphor, try Cassandra instead of Sisyphus.
you’re pretending to have prophetic insights that no one else will heed, you aren’t performing some endless onerous task by tip tapping vague, nonlinear shower thoughts into your phone.
“there is much more out there than meets the eye…”
don’t assume or conflate your own narrowed perspective with the awareness of others.
sewing is mine also. I don’t think I’ve talked to a single person in the 15 years I’ve been sewing that hasn’t reacted with shock to some degree or another upon finding out.
i like repairing clothes and making backpacks.
your desperate message is all about how the precious few may ascend as long as they see things exactly how you narrowly understand them, without recognizing the overwhelming likelihood that you are not the sole entity seeing beyond the shadows, and in all likelihood, from what I can see?
You are carrying one of the rocks.
I have plenty of patience. your message is dull, disconnected and unoriginal.
if you want your messages to resonate, which it seems like you desperately do, speak honestly and concretely.
stop hiding behind vague, uninspired platitudes.
someone had to say it.
whaaat?
so a comment mentioned lump… that’s a quite a leap to your notion that Lemmy is nothing but presidents of the United States band posts.
I think the fact that you have that post at hand maybe indicates that you’re pretty into the band?
rather than all of Lemmy being into that band.
who does rock.
from my absurdly extensive(editorial opinion) user history alone, you’ll be able to tell that… wait let me check how many posts and comments I have…
that .01% of my posts are about that band.
I don’t think the POTUS band affliction is as a widespread as you are insinuating.
I see a lot more posts about the coward POTUS than the band POTUS these days.
I have no clue what you’re talking about.
link?
yea it’s absolutely crazy! These concluding books, even though I had read through the whole thing before, shocked me on the last reread all over again.
you’re right about the expansion of the size of their forces completely changing the game, I think it’s really interesting how the authors name and count every single individual added to the animorphs, it’s a good way to make you keep in mind that even though there are more kids, every single one is a person individually deciding to go to actual war and take real risks.
