this is the most depressing video game easter egg of all time

“Even the proposal which he thought was the save all of our relationship was never the way I would have like to be proposed to. I never liked video games, but I sat through them because I loved him. Our relationship turned into a mother and son relationship where I had to remind him about things, I had to deal with his financial mistakes, his violent outbursts etc. We never did things normal couples would do like go out, dance, parties, sit under the stars.

I told him in July that he had a month to change my mind and it didn’t happen, so I broke up with him. I have big prospects in life and I am a highly motivated individual, but it was extremely challenging to have to be someone else’s motivation to simply get out of bed or get off of his video games. As far as his half-brother goes, Tyler had asked him to check in on me and ask me how I was doing after I broke up with him, so of course we got close. And our relationship just built from there. I did not leave Tyler for his half-brother and I have never been unfaithful to Tyler.””

I just realized that Clark Kent probably works at the Daily Planet because it means he and his super-senses are planted right in the middle of a bunch of investigative journalists all day long. He probably knows more about Metropolis’ corruption and abuses of power than anyone else in the world, just by virtue of existing in the Daily Planet’s vicinity. 

I imagine also that he works there for the reverse reason.
Think about all the things he knows about the people in positions of power in the city that Really Should be made known to the public, but he can’t figure out a way to legitimately excuse having that knowledge?
Well, all he has to do is drop a hint of a thread in the lap of someone like Lois Lane and his coworkers and friends will be on it like bloodhounds, with a firm air of legitimacy that he himself would never, ever have. Because honestly? Clark Kent probably knows that “I heard about it with my magic alien hearing” isn’t and SHOULDN’T be admissible in a court of law or public opinion. But aiming some good old fashioned investigative journalists in the most competitive news organisation in the city at it? Perfectly legitimate.

Villain: “Hah! What are you going to do, punch me for tax evasion? Lock me up for conspiracy? With what court-admissible evidence? Admit it Superman, there’s nothing you can do here.”

Superman: “Guess not.” 

Later, Clark Kent at the Daily Planet watching his colleagues work: “My god, they’re like bureaucratic piranhas. They went through his entire IRS filings for the last eight quarters in thirty minutes flat.”

anyone else upset that they’re trying to give robots ugly, uncanny valley human faces instead of daft punk heads or tv heads

When trying to make an expressive robot head, this:

or this:

Looks good.

This:

is also perfectly acceptable.

However this:

is the stuff of nightmares.

You’re never going to make it look human, stop trying. Make it look obviously inhuman in a way that looks good instead of diving further and further into the crevasse of Things That Should Not Be.

same thing with prosthetics TBH, this shit looks simply bad and pitiful 

This however looks cool and enhanced, I think way fewer people would look at this with pity

I once spoke to a girl with a prosthetic who was pretty excited about the new possibilities, she said people always see her as a broken human, as someone who is not complete, while she sees herself as a fully functional cyborg, and I found it quiet powerful. 

Yeah, I recall the tale of a pair of servicemen, a man and woman who lost opposite arms. They gave them these very functional prototype prosthetics that use peroxide steam to work, but the artificial skin was hideous. They both independently stopped putting the skin on the arm and were happy to just glue pads to the fingers to grip with and walk around with a Terminator looking skeletal metal arm.

Gosh damn, that leg is absolutely gorgeous!

The key to good prosthetics is to embrace that they aren’t a real arm/leg but still perfectly good and useful instead of trying to make it a cheap imitation of a human limb.
