my existentialism professor once showed us this meme and then said softly “reintarnation” and started laughing for about 5 minutes straight but he was laughing so softly we thought he was crying and didn’t know what to do about it

A quick history:

- In 2014, the developers at Monolith Productions created Shadow of Mordor, a Tolkien game, where you played as a random ranger (the guys Aragorn ran with for a while) who gains the power to revive from death by Celebrimbor.

- The game featured a brilliant game mechanic called the Nemesis system. If an orc killed you, not only would that orc remember you, they'd be promoted within Sauron's army gaining new abilities and commanding their own squads. If you defeated an orc but failed to kill him, that orc would remember you and seek personal revenge. Some promoted orcs would gain rivalries with others and infighting could occur.

- Shadow of Mordor became famous for the Nemesis system, as players saw the rest of the action game as a distraction from the real game: operating from the shadows to build the career of their favorite orc nemesis and create a true archenemy to have a proper showdown with. Sabotaging other orcs, purposely dying to their nemesis to hone the ultimate enemy, etc.

- Shadow of Mordor was a resounding success. Monolith returned 3 years later with Shadow of War, featuring an even more complex Nemesis system that allowed players to recruit and train their own orc army and even send them to infiltrate Sauron's orc army. Enemy orcs with experience vs the player also start learning the player's habits and attempt to counter them in battle.

- Shadow of War wasn't received as well as Mordor, but the improved Nemesis system carried the game. At the time, many were convinced the Nemesis system would be a major step forward for enemy AI in games when more developers would learn how to replicate it.

- That doesn't happen, because parent company Warner Bros filed a patent for the Nemesis system in 2016, two years after Mordor, and was granted the patent in 2021, making it legally risky for other game developers to attempt to create their own Nemesis system equivalent.

- Instead of funding a third game with the Nemesis system or doing literally anything with the patent, Warner Bros killed Monolith (and two others) on February 25 2025 and canceled their Wonder Woman game. They still keep the patent though.

- they killed Monolith for this

The winds, the sea, and the moving tides are what they are. If there is wonder and beauty and majesty in them, science will discover these qualities. If they are not there, science cannot create them. If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry. - Rachel Carson (1952)

no one can write truthfully about evolution and leave out the poetry, etc.

“ExcUSE me?!”

[roach-works]

the thing i love about social animals is they necessarily have a concept of manners which means that you can be rude to them. not threatening, but rude. and they’ll be annoyed at you for it.

"Don't let the internet turn you into an asshole" didn't mean "find an acceptable minority of people to be mean to so you can continue being a bully" it meant. As a general rule of thumb. you should not be a dickhead to strangers on the internet

[hoofpeet]

You can also be annoyed by a specific type of person and make the conscious decision to not relentlessly shit on them for being kind of annoying in a completely harmless way. And, in point of fact, that's generally the adult thing to do. You really don't have a good reason to make fun of "theater kids" because a 14 year old was kind of annoying on your post

"Violence only leads to more violence" TRUE! The thing is tho, a lot of people in power seem to think the start of the violence was the CEO getting shot, but they're wrong. The start of the violence was that very CEO running a company that turns immense, endless human suffering into money.

Violence did lead to more violence, decades of needless death and suffering willfully enacted by millionaires so they can make just a little bit more money, that was the start of the violence. If they didn't want it to escalate eventually, they should have maybe not made killing people the core functionality their entire company hinges on.

The people being tortured and killed by the health insurance industry are not the ones who started the violence, and tbh I don't really think it's on them to end the violence, either.

I just think maybe the people who's entire job is sitting in an office and pressing a button labeled "get 10 million dollars but 100 random people you don't know die" as many times as they physically can are the ones who should be examining their behavior here, not the people who think they shouldn't be allowed to get away with that.

You ever been in a state where you physically have no energy, but you're bored and socially understimulated so you kind of wish you could just invite people to come over like this:
