Fuck the Telltale game, I want someone to finish this shit. What series finale ends on a fucking cliffhanger.

Also why the fuck didn't they recast Alex and instead edited in a weird death scene

TV Miller wasn't bad but in the books he's much more connected to the main crew and the adaptation falls flat in that regard. Like when Holden assumes he's going to join the crew and Miller is so surprised by this he has to hide his tears from the sudden acceptance. You also miss out on all his internal monologues, but that comes with the medium.

Average Belter: I want self-determination for my people, who endure so much Inyalowda oppression

Average Earther: I want to prevent the total economic collapse of the majority of the human race

Average Martian: just saw the UN giving poor people free food, billions must die

You can still use voiceover for internal monolgues

this comment from 6 months ago was comically accurate. capital has decided to switch common sense from liberal to chvd. even if the average person isn't like that, they still feel like the mainstream is average to bad, and non-whites feel out of place in normal movies

 

This whole movie seemed like fear porn to motivate the ruling classes to hate the citizenry. The way that any group of common people was portrayed was horrific.

Thanks, and it’s just an iPhone, nothing special. I’m sure I could get much better shots with a dedicated camera, but I prefer hiking without anything bulky.

Tolmie Peak, WA

Very enchanted-fairy-esque.

 

>>36477
Very cool, especially the mist. I think it’s still too hot where I’m at for misty trails sadly.

 

Just went to a Texas state park, of course the leaves were down on most of the trees but it was still beautiful. I wish this state weren't so giant, some of the most fantastical looking of the state parks are so far away…

there should be a Heat-like movie about the 1907 Tiflis Bank Robbery that Stalin/Lenin and other Bolsheviks organized, which was carried out for the purpose of securing funds for the RSDLP.

Maybe anon just means like a character study with a focus on careful choreography.

 

>>38283
Also, a killer soundtrack.

 

>>35823
why the FUCK can't my hair look like Stalin's

 

>>38282
>How would it be Heat-like?
aesthetically and with a similar attention to detail and realism. There's so much scope to explore the political context and interpersonal dynamics leading up to the raid too. It writes itself ffs, I can picture the steam train sequence now lol.
>The themes of Heat don't have a lot in common with political revolutionaries trying to get their hands on some cash.
100%

 

>>38282
>How would it be Heat-like?
Cinematography, pacing, tension, soundtrack.
>The themes of Heat don't have a lot in common with political revolutionaries trying to get their hands on some cash.
This theme is what would make it unique, even if the aesthetics are more derivative.

I haven't played Tabletop RPGs in a hot minute, and I need my fix. I had an idea for a VTM chronicle that emphasizes the "Political Horror" aspect of the gameline. Given this is, ostensibly, a political board I figured it'd be fun to introduce folks here to the World of Darkness and see how they handle it.

I'll be running V5, mostly because that's the version I'm most familiar with. I'll try to find PDF copies of the rulebook to folks unfamiliar with the setting and tutor new players where necessary. I'm making this thread mostly to get a poll of people who are interested and see if I can't work out a time to play. It'll probably take place online. Microphones are necessary.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I'll probably post the teaser to the chronicle tomorrow.

Matrix is the protocol and Element is the worst client. What features are they missing that are vital to play VtM with other imageboard posters?

 

>>37849
Sent you a request, I don’t know if it was denied or something.

 

Maybe after Vampires we can roleplay as communists.

I recently got into AI generated images. Mostly for porn obviously. Anyways, I thought as a means of honing the craft and amusement why not make a thread about it. People can make a suggestion and as a form of training people try to make the best images that lives up to the suggestion. We can also talk about the technology itself and how to use it and what not.

 

Actually, here are some resources

>>38215
Image generating technologies aren't actually artificial intelligence, because they use mathematical functions or some shit

 

>>38217
We know none of this shit is actually AI. It simply has become integrated into colloquial language to call it that way.

 

>>38215
>>>/draw/3405 will hopefully be helpful to you. I've posted some LORA and effortposts in that thread.

The most important thing for Stable Diffusion is Regional prompting, otherwise the AI will not produce a proper image and have fucked up details all over.

 

>>38226
Oh I didn‘t see that thread.

Mods can close this thread or merge it with the other.

RSS is a good way to notify of new articles. there's also a bulletin section, with links to other sites/magazines, kind of what news anon does. so that's two RSS feeds, one for original articles, one for links to news.

 

Things are progressing nicely. Three articles edited and ready to go. I expect the quality of articles will also improve as time goes on. Looks like everything will be ready before Christmas.

 

Can mods delete this thread please?

 

>>38070
why

 

>>38071
Because I am unable to delete the OP, only posts.

Looking for video content that doesn't rot your brain. Things such as high quality Historical documentaries or quality lectures from academics.
No breadtubers.
Bonus if it can be found on youtube

 

I'm pretty sure that the Revolution Will Not Be Televised is on youtube

 


 

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMHbwAhD6pLemGgPDaGOtMnxdt-f_97S4
I watched some of these, they are pretty good and most of them are not very specific to the location.

 

Also interested in this.

PBS frontline has a lot of good videos, the one I linked is about the Iraq War through the view of the Iraqi people.

I've had mixed success with "The Great Courses" you can find a lot on Youtube and they're easy to pirate if it's not there:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjuD_BfSCZM&list=PLdttdG7j6PBaEnfCMPTwWqvicHHWV8vpK

This ones good, some aren't, it really depends on the lecturer they have. Generally, anything before 2005 or so will be higher quality. I find that they are the ideal in terms of engagement required, it's a step above pop-shit or random Youtubers but it's not an audiobook which really demands 100% engagement.
