this is revisionist nostalgia grift shit.
No, it wasn’t.
It was trash, has always been trash. Now there’s a small group of people trying to make themselves out as the “oh so quirky, you just don’t get it” cool kids. Reimagining the movie as though it was something it was not. It wasn’t a subversion of capitalism or cyberpunk… it wasn’t some misunderstood masterpiece… it was 90’s cocaine capitalist marketing team movie/toy/game tie-in meant to squeeze as much value as possible from kids and parents who wanted their kids to shut up for 90 minutes. Just like everything else in that time.
People, today, trying to make it out as something more just want to sell nostalgia/indie bait for clicks and watch time.
EDIT: actually, I’ll add, it’s not just grfity nostalgia bs. The movie was so bad, that it was a meme to make fun of it as though it was some serious cyberpunk dystopia. But, internet being internet, can’t tell the difference between authenticity and ridicule, and so they started to believe it. Literally no-one was calling the 90’s MarioBros movie a “masterpiece” until around 5 years ago, when it fell back into the cultural zeitgeist to mock it. Nearly 30 years, no-one is giving this movie any accolades until it becomes the “in” thing, an indie meme, “you probably wouldn’t understand… no one gets it”…


The what?..
The Legend Of Zelda director Wes Ball
Oh great, so lets just give a beloved video game franchise of 30+ years, with all its rich lore and stories, and massive generational fan following… to a young, no-name director who has never made a movie above 6.8. Whose highest achievement is being nominated in a niche category of a niche film academy.
and who is writing this screenplay?..
Derek Connolly and T.S. Nowlin
actual nobodies. Like, straight to VHS level nobodies.
And you’re telling me, Nintendo signed off on this, but can’t afford to hire quality professionals for one of the largest, international flagship franchise? Nintendo, can’t afford it? This shit is gonna be Mario Bros (1993) all over again. Not even a quick cash grab… Nintendo doesn’t need the cash, it’s just shitting on fans because they can… which is VERY Nintendo.


Good god, wtf is wrong with her face? Are UK women catching MarALago face now too?
Fr, this is 100% missing the point. Dude just wants to post his le epic batman ai meme.


lol. Maybe if you write it bigger then you win. Actual child. I’m done playing debatelord with you reddit rejects.


if we’re quoting handbooks, then doing a “both sides are bad” is right out the alt-right handbook.
And lets see… a “leftist” in “leftist spaces” making plays from the “alt-right handbook”, misrepresenting them as “leftist” opinions to fracture coalition… what would you call a person like that? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?


badjacketing
proving you don’t read and huff your own farts.
Badjacketing would be misrepresenting, manufacturing or lying about a person to paint a bad image of them. I literally linked to the thing they just posted, and are doing… nothing about any of that is false or misrepresentative. Just because it makes them look bad and you don’t like it, doesn’t make it “badjacketing”.
Engage with what is being said instead of trying to appeal to some reddit-tier fallacy argument.

howabout this, rather than sit here and argue theory and bullshit… lets reframe what you’re doing here and see if that’s the person you idealize yourself to be.
You’re coming to the defense of a powertripping mod that abuses their position to push centrist bullshit and then bans anyone who disagrees with them.
Would you, as an anarchist, come to defend any other self-appointed hierarchical leader that pushes harmful misinformation and silences critics? Hmm? Is this your ideal anarchist community member?


here’s an anarchist perspective
Both-sidesism isn’t anarchism. It’s nihilism. It’s the “nothing matters, so there are no rules” surface level “anarchism” take. You can’t hide behind hedonistic nihilism by calling it “anarchism”. You might as well just come out as the edgelord you want to be and tip your fedora.


an op to convince people that both parties are the same, so it doesn’t matter if you vote. The bad faith argument that voting for harm reduction is the same as voting for harm. It’s disingenuous and only serves to break leftist coalition and cause infighting, which only really benefits one side… the right, and it’s a textbook tactic of right-wing bullshit.
So yes, a psyop, or duped by a psyop. Eitherway, a dipshit.


Or maybe, the sky cracked?

Over 9000, you say?


The only thing I know about the movie is that incels love it, and that alone is why I wont watch it.


Its less that the movies didnt have time for it, and moreso that the screenplay was written up when only half of the books were out. Bryan OMalley kinda gave them a rough bullet points and general trajectory, but basically everything after Todd (number 3) was made up.
The games and the animated series actually tie up these alternate stories with the subspace highway and alternate dimensions.
Depends on what you’re doing, programming wise. Structures and Algos is good if you’re doing a lot of foundational, ground-up work. But most times (like 90%) you’ll just use a library for those structures. If you really, really need a RedBlackTree (you dont), you’re probably not going to build it yourself. I mean you can, but it’s probably better (and safer) to import a library for it. It’s more important to know their use-cases rather than how to build them.
I would argue, that if you’re want to learn something functional, I would study up on Design Patterns. Especially for C#.
Structures/Algos are the tools, Patterns are what to build with the tools.
Best book, long term, is probably: Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software I have it, use it. It’s great as a reference, but it’s also very “textbook”.
I actually recommend: Game Programming Patterns it covers almost all the same patterns as the above. But, it’s written with a functional “game” usecase standpoint, which makes it easier to comprehend and get through.
