You should be 169% ashamed for even remotely liking it, let's be real here.Because I mentioned I saw the re-release and it naturally resulted in several people having to remind everyone how forgettable and bad the movie was

get well soon!Lost most of the afternoon to illness, recovered via pizza and sci fi (Mass Effect 3 and 3 episodes of Andor, continuing my 3 binge).
Time for bed tho
Parents of young kids:Haven't been around a lot lately, what's new? Hope everyone has a lazy Sunday.
I guess the concept must seem quite alien to you by now.Parents of young kids:
Nah but legitimately I haven't had a relaxing weekend in like 4 years. Fun, sure but not what I'd call relaxing.I guess the concept must seem quite alien to you by now.
Ironic that they'd remind people how forgettable it was.Because I mentioned I saw the re-release and it naturally resulted in several people having to remind everyone how forgettable and bad the movie was
officially the compound is a room temperature 1 atm superconductorBut I also disagree that a new element might be named unobtainium. That word has a purpose in science, it's to serve as a "best case" theoretical element or material for a particular application being developed or discussed. Assigning it to an actual element or material would be irresponsible and whoever did it would be rightfully dragged by the scientific community.
Nah a room temperature superconductor would have to be some compound with some crazy long name or acronym. If anyone gave it a nickname it would reflect what it does, like Supermetal or something.officially the compound is a room temperature 1 atm superconductor
if we ever found one in real life I think the name would apply

By now if we found a room temperature superconductor it would be named after a Fortnite character or something and yall know itNah a room temperature superconductor would have to be some compound with some crazy long name or acronym.

Any second now someone is going to discover a new element and call it AMOGUSIUM and you all know it.By now if we found a room temperature superconductor it would be named after a Fortnite character or something and yall know it
I mean, would that be a good thing? I'm at S5 right now and the amount of recycled puzzles is crazy. Most of them are from 3DS games, I even made comparison side by side if they're really 1:1 (they are). Color picross is fun but not enough of them so far.i wonder if the picross S series will go into double digits. the e series on 3DS ended with 9.
Y'all don't know enough materials scientists, we take our jobs super seriously.By now if we found a room temperature superconductor it would be named after a Fortnite character or something and yall know it
I agree with thisY'all don't know enough materials scientists
I'm not financially ready for it either (which is why I've been saving up my 5% Amazon cashback for literally years)Regardless of my stance on leaks and rumors of new Nintendo hardware coming soon, I've been thinking... I'm just not financially ready to invest on nothing new and expensive right now. If we're truly at endgame for the Switch (I doubt it), I'm screwed it.. for that, I hope cross-gen continues for at least a whole year.
It seems doubtful thati wonder if the picross S series will go into double digits. the e series on 3DS ended with 9.
Never happened to me before, I usuallyHave you ever started typing a post and then you suddenly realize you’re dog tired so you just
I dunno, seems sus tbhAny second now someone is going to discover a new element and call it AMOGUSIUM and you all know it.
counterpoint: I didn’t like it cuz it was badNo it wasn't you just didn't like it
I will admit that the funniest thing to me is that when I first saw it I was like “wtf why did they make the 3D on the glass so weird, what??”No it wasn't you just didn't like it
I have a great update on shish kebabwhen they shishkebab’d mario
oh my god thank youI mentally checked out the second they actually used the term "unobtainium" for a supposedly real thing.
Like, that's not how that works. Unobtainium is a real word to describe a theoretical material that would be perfect for a particular application but can never exist. Very very lazy writing.
I will admit that the funniest thing to me is that when I first saw it I was like “wtf why did they make the 3D on the glass so weird, what??”
and wouldn’t discover for another decade that I had no idea what reflections in glass actually looked like because I’ve always needed glasses
and that aspect was in fact more accurate than I ever could have recognized at the time
still hate the movie though
I’m not trying to peer pressure y’all, I trust you to make your own decisionsIronic that they'd remind people how forgettable it was.
My Avatar experience is weird. I was already salty on it before it even came out, but I don't really remember why. All I can figure is that I remember my friends trashing it, buuuut those are the same friends who eventually trashed Star Wars for having Daisy Ridley in the lead and trashed Marvel for making the Black Panther movie (which was just a Thor copy according to them) and trashed the Captain Marvel movie which according to them actually bombed but Disney had bought up whole theaters worth of tickets so it would look like it made a billion dollars, and so on and so forth, soooooooooo it's possible I was peer-pressured into hating Avatar by people whose whole MO is being hateful towards anything popular?
like uh think they had desks with glass displays or some shit?What 3D on glass do you mean?
One thing that always bothered me that they didn't fix in the remaster was... still photographs taped to the fridge in their bunker were 3D. That always bugged me
Loved the movie more than ever tho
Not sure if you've seen it already, butWhatever happened to Oxenfree 2? It got announced April 2021 with a release window of 2021, got delayed into 2022, but it's about to be October and we haven't heard from the game in a while. It's pretty weird and I'm worried about the game.
Wish I had immunity to give you. But I do have a giant hammer in my shed if you wanna borrow it. Sorry for contributing to bad vibes - I just want to be able to express my love for a movie without reliably counting at least three people coming out of the woodwork to express how much they hate it. It gets annoying after... 12 years.I’m not trying to peer pressure y’all, I trust you to make your own decisions
I also wasn’t peer pressured into hating it
I just really thoroughly do not like it for a ton of reasons
wasn’t trying to ruin the thread vibe, it’s apparently contentious and I’m happy to keep my usual ranting down
having a bad time so I don’t want to be forwarding that here. just need a giant hammer and immunity of many kinds and I’ll be back to regular shitposts I swear

Here’s the crux of my argument: the engineers at the RDA called it unobtanium as engineers do, and the unimaginative suits like Selfridge just went with it. Cameron says as much in the Project 880 treatment when he writes, “Its joke name of ‘unobtanium’ has stuck, over the years.” If you don’t think he knew exactly what he was doing, guess what he names the passenger ship that delivers Jake (or Josh as he was known then) to Pandora? The Lockheed-Saab TAV-37 “Valkyrie” Class Shuttle. There are no oversights in the world-building of Avatar, nor in Cameron’s attention to detail.
You don’t need to read the original treatment or any supplemental books to understand why unobtanium is called unobtanium. RDA stands for Resources Development Administration for Christ’s sake! This is the banality of evil in action, boring us with hollow terminology while they genocide a tribe of native Pandorans. Calling it unobtanium speaks to the lack of creative spirit demonstrated by the RDA, whose weapons of advanced engineering were summarily defeated by mystics and warriors of Eywa.
The irony of rolling your eyes at ‘unobtanium’ is that you’re absolutely meant to. The RDA STEMlords that named unobtanium are as cringe as our modern-day engineering intellectuals. It’s exceedingly easy to imagine Elon Musk discovering a rare metal on Mars and calling it unobtanium, isn’t it?. A made-up name like pandorium or magnetium would have drawn less ire from uncritical thinkers, but it wouldn’t have been as meaningful or helped build the world as Avatar the way that unobtanium does. It’s not that deep, all things considered, but it is an example of Cameron’s strength as a storyteller, not his weakness.
This is literally me with Star WarsI just want to be able to express my love for a movie without reliably counting at least three people coming out of the woodwork to express how much they hate it. It gets annoying after... 12 years.
just need a giant hammer
I somehow am able to let people like the Star Wars movies that I think are terrible without letting them knowThis is literally me with Star Wars
Lol. Now I’ll never be able to forget thisWow, just learned the lyrics to the Indians Jones theme song.
