“culture industry”

Imo culture and industry are mutually exclusive.

This has some strong furry energy for some reason. Like, those are the kinda bumper stickers I’d expect furries to have, especially the “I eat sand” one.

At the very least, this individual is a creature.

90. I stay in contact with friends, even IRL ones, through the internet.

Nah, that’s centered on Oklahoma. It includes DFW, but that’s basically all of Oklahoma.

Car!

Gunman Chronicles is unironically great. Granted, I love games with ludicrous numbers of weapons, but the fact that the weapons have a bazillion firing modes is fun.

I tried it once. Never again.

Superman dives headfirst into the lava plug of a supervolcano, the impact causing the plug to crack and crumble, releasing thousands of years of volcanic pressure. Lava spews miles into the air, the caldera itself collapsing as, after thousands of years of erosion, the plug was the only thing still holding it up. The lava runs like oil on water, engulfing everything it touches. No one is safe, no one survives. Children scream as their flesh melts. Lovers hold one another as the ash smothers them alive. Pets asphyxiate from the toxic gasses. Vehicles melt. Homes burn. The cloud of ash ascends to the heavens and God weeps as volcanic winter sets in; causing famine and mass starvation as crops can no longer grow under the limited sunlight and frigid temperatures. A mass extinction event is triggered. Half of the extant species die as the perpetual winter disrupts their natural food chains and causes them to starve or freeze. Superman climbs out of the volcano to face his challenger, somehow miraculously still standing in the midst of the chaos. He puts on his most charming, charismatic grin.

I’m pretty sure it’s AI generated; which is really weird because I’m pretty sure there are plenty of 50’s era images featuring a smiling woman in the kitchen.

C’mon olgaf, we know you like dicks and vaginas, would it have been that hard for the punchline to involve a hot wolf-man?

Those are massive raccoons. Holy fuck.

This was not on my 2024 bingo card, what the fuck.

Nah, no copium here. It’s mainly just an observation about how “retro” tends to be a couple generations behind whatever the current generation is, and in the past, that’s been very obvious on the basis of graphics capabilities. However, while we have a lot of fancy new rendering tricks and significantly more powerful hardware, most Xbox 360 games still hold up decently well. As such, imo, Xbox 360 will become “retro” if/when VR takes off or a brand-new rendering technique (like gaussian splatting) becomes commonplace. I think that’s what it’d take for me to see it as “retro”.

Yes! I’ve been trying to figure out what the fuck the difference is for a long time but for some reason that explanation kept eluding me; I don’t mind being called “a female [blank]”, but just being called “a female” bothers me. But that’s it right there, it’s when it’s used as a noun.

Hey, uh, don’t refer to male humans as “men” and then female humans as “females” like that. It’s kinda dehumanizing.

Like, I get calling men, “males” and women “females”, because I’ll do that sometimes (I claim fur-brain as my defense, because calling anthro characters “man” or “woman” is weird); but try not to do the thing where you say “men” then “females” as if we’re a complete different species. That’s… just… not appropriate in a normal context.

NGL, I don’t feel like the Xbox 360 or Wii are really “retro”. A lot of the games still hold up decently well from a visual standpoint imo. Obsolete? Sure. Old? Sure. Retro? Nah.

I think the GameCube generation is the border of “retro”. That’s where you still had some games that looked old (like Animal Crossing), but you also had games that still look relatively good (like Pikmin). Imagine calling Crysis “retro”. That’s the same generation we’re talking about.

I’m also saying this as someone who remembers the N64 fairly well.

The joke has been around a while, so they probably have made the same joke.

We killed God. And we’d do it again if given the chance.
