@sickburnbro@s2208 the only artists fearing it make fan art, normal and pornographic, for a living.
they're capable of making something more if they're any good but that takes more effort and time.
the machine can create yet-another-elf based on some anime or video game because it was fed that information to train it, but it would never be able to make a Rembrandt unless it was already made (which in the case of Rembrandt, it is, duh) and then trained on it.
warhammer 40k started becoming gay in the fluff like 12 years ago when they made it a point to brown it up in places where it didn't make sense, have side characters being gay, and suddenly force women into places where previously tradition (and sanity) kept it male only (like imperial knights).
The "men of the imperial army/guard" became the "men & women of the imperial army/guard".
It's been a long process that people are only now noticing because they finally scored a major win by having female custodes (and nerds are already coping about it).
>shitlibs never make engaging media
they don't NOW because they're all nepotism babies (jewish or not); the last 70 years is almost nothing but jew/shitlib propaganda over and over.
@SuperSnekFriend@professionalbigot69 wendy's went from the "4 for $4" deal to the "biggie bag" that went to $5, now $6, and they don't let you choose some sandwiches anymore.
some places, for the amount of food you're getting, if you wanna eat out you're better off just going to a sit-down restaurant. it'll probably be higher quality than fast food, too.
I remember seeing a graph that the price rises of fast food joints are not commensurate with the inflation that has been going on; they're outpacing it and just charging more because they can I guess.
@branman65@flux_the_cat@Zettour watch most of the scenes in the original & prequel trilogy for stuff in the background. there are so many scenes that video games/literature/comics were built out of, or from one-off comments by characters.
"Many Bothans died to bring us these plans" was just filler originally. There wasn't much of an idea of what a "Bothan" was.
Expanded Universe made them into dog people and they even waged jihad against an extra-galactic threat. The latter is impressive, because they're all manlets.
There isn't as much of that in the sequels, and the constant quippy "funny" dialogue is grating. The only thing that comes close to it in annoyance are the combat droids showing emotion and feeling "pain" in episode 2 and 3, but that is definitely just something for kids to laugh at and not something I can be butthurt about.
As a child I loved the prequels, even with the horrible dialogue. I can't enjoy the dialogue anymore because I grew up, though the fighting scenes are still fun. The only annoying aspect is the perpetual fencing that lightsaber users do, and pretty much never pushing their advantage to just slice a nigga in half.. but again, that's PG/PG-13 rating and it's meant for kids.
I think the goriest they ever get is Han Solo frozen in carbonite and Jango Fett's head falling out of his helmet. You only see the shadow of the head falling out, though.
@branman65@flux_the_cat@Zettour If you really start delving into Star Wars, you'll quickly find that both "light" and "dark" are just two extremes and self-annihilate each other. This wasn't intentional and wasn't fleshed out much by Lucas originally.
"Light" side characters are altruistic and self-sacrificing to the point of their own destruction.
"Dark" side characters are passionate, jealous, and can't tolerate being under someone else's rule for long without trying to usurp them, also unto their own destruction.
"Grey" jedi are moral cowards afraid to pick a side at best; vaguely good guys at worst and not really "grey" just more willing to break the law to do some good.
There is no "based" side in those parameters, though there are Expanded Universe books where it is revealed that the majority of the Galactic Empire enjoys peace and prosperity, even the non-humans, as the empire routs out and destroys pirates and brigands constantly. That the "Rebel Alliance" is led by some ex-nobles looking to get their fortunes back and to restore a republic that was dying to infighting in the first place, even before Palpatine.
I always liked playing as the Empire factions in games that let you do it. I was looking forward to a sequel to "Republic Commando" where it's "Imperial Commando", but I know better now that it would probably just have them defect to the rebels eventually anyway, even if Disney had never bought Star Wars. Which would be lame.
