Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to watch this the second I can get my hook on it but I’d really prefer (and would pay for) a decent MotU movie, even if it’s “just” good weird.

There’s good weird and bad weird. This seems to be going in the bad weird direction.

“I know how to make myself do the thing I planned to do.”

Ah, good point. Still something OP can find out by experimenting a bit and adjusting the amount where needed.

Fortress (Christopher Lambert, but more importantly Jeffrey Combs <3) - set in an evil corporate prison in the distant future of 2017. A dumb little dystopian science fiction thing with some fun ideas and people who wanted to make a decent movie. Interesting villain, interesting (for the time) female protag. Stuart Gordon rarely disappoints. Several naked penises on new arrival prisoners.

Fortress 2 (Christopher Lambert, no Jeffrey Combs :(, no Stuart Gordon) - set on an evil corporate prison space station because why the fuck not. Dumb and generic and half-hearted and full of nonsense. Just fucking set it on an asteroid and half of the movie’s problems are solved. New prisoners are now apparently allowed undies.

Any effect should be immediately obvious, shouldn’t it? If your clothes are still dirty after washing, that’s something you can see/smell/feel. Anything else that your average detergent claims to do is luxury.

This project keeps getting weirder and weirder and less promising with every bit of new information.

that only the police people with extensive, proper training and proper psychological support and a demonstrated need to carry guns should be armed

Well, hiding it behind “protecting your children (as a roof would)”.

I know Matt primarily from tumblr and the absolute bullshit he’s pulling over there so I’m biased. Thank you for that clarification :)

Which one is that, I get confused because I use neither and the technicalities scare me: the one owned by known fucking weirdo (and CEO!) photomatt or the other, underdog one?

If the former: that’s some bullshit, goddammit.

If the latter: haha, so quirky!

I also thought until just now that the other headline I saw about this actually was an onion.

Agreed. I really enjoy being able to one hit enemies that made me shit my trousers a couple of hours ago. The rats I killed for that innkeeper when I arrived shouldn’t even be worth my attention during endgame.

Gosh. I am unironically impressed, it’s rare for people to actually take stuff back and say they were wrong. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Aside:

Representatives for Seinfeld did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Weird how it’s impossible for celebrities to just be taken at their word without a representative being contacted for clarification.

Has he? Last I heard he was still complaining that “yOu CoUlDnT dO sEiNfElD tOdAy BeCaUsE wOkE” with Rob McElhenney begging to differ.

Then that would be the gamers’ fault, not the producer’s. They’re not responsible for how their comment may not only be taken out of context but also translated in a disadvantageous way.

Wot? Perplexity ai, that app that I have on my phone and that I sometimes ask random things when I want to be angry at something and that gives entirely useless and wrong answers 95% of the time? lollmaoeven

This being an old comic and people instantly forming the (seemingly) obvious connection to recent events seems like a good illustration of the concept of the dead author.

The gang on It’s Always Sunny is worse but they are obviously not people we’re supposed to empathise with. It’s quite a bit less obvious on Seinfeld.

familiar with German

Exactly. Different languages have different phonology that you have to be familiar with, there is no one way to “spell it like it’s pronounced” (except IPA and even that can be tricky).

“Eichhörnchenschwanz” is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced. Does this help you pronounce it?
