can valve ban this one for an inappropriate depiction of a child, because going this far down the uncanny valley should be considered some form of "inappropriate depiction of a 'child'".
I mean exaggerations aside, since just this frame is primally horrifying I'm sure that this horror game is going to be awesome for people that want to be disturbed.
I just have a really really visceral hatred reaction to things that look like this. I can't express how much I don't want to see this, or things like it.
Yep, unless a game or animation can hit realism in people so well it is indistinguishable from real people, then the approaching realism just looks messed up.
I'd say its better to have fake people look stylized so your brain reads it as abstract, and isn't trying to resolve the information continually.
Upcoming capcom game character. Also this type of reaction has probably locked in the meme - anything people take time to post a response to will make good ad revenue on the corporate algorithm sites.
She's supposed to be burned so I don't have to see it , or so it picks a side in the uncanny valley on the side of "destroyed machine" instead of "this simulacra of a child is going to eat your soul through your eyes, DO NOT TRUST IT AND RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN OH GOD I'M GOING TO VOMIT"
to paraphrase a northernlion bit that's in my head constantly these days as I struggle with food
this is a cognito hazard [...] It never touches the executive function part of your brain whatsoever, it goes straight to the cerebellum and it freaks the fuck out and wants to flee.
"‘First of all,’ and he inhaled a thick lungful of Caporal, ‘you will be pleased with your Number Two.

Bond was not amused. ‘What the hell do they want to send me a woman for?’ he said bitterly. ‘Do they think this is a bloody picnic?’"

I hate it so much.

Seems like you're secretly telling us this meme is a hit & you want much more of it.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 252d
just fucking use a picture of a lotus pod or a frame from explicit torture gore instead, it would be less distressing

Is this some twisted guerilla marketing to promote the meme? It's working.

Yes

Apparently it's from a game releasing next year called Pragmata

So basically a Crysis gameplay but with Ghost in the Shell in form of a little girl companion?
Well... while i see some potential, the little girl makes the mix more weird than cute.

Isn't that the point? I remember seeing a trailer during Summer Games fest (I think) and it gave me Little Sister vibes from Bioshock.

little sisters were on one of the correct sides of the uncanny valley

It makes me want to vomit.

I've been seeing ads for it, there's nothing inappropriate happening in the game and banning it for just being uncanny valley sounds crazy to me.

well to be honest the rocket making billionaire of our timeline is not a secret nazi.

Apparently the silly part is that they're seen as a villain.
Th4tGuyII@fedia.io · 13 pts · 252d
Or that they had to actually hide that they were a Nazi.
Turns out companies and governments are more than happy to do business with a billionaire Nazi as long as he doesn't step on their toes too much
FlexibleToast@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 252d
You mean as long as he bribes them and tries to rig elections in their favor.

The joke is one of them is mirroring an outlandish villain plot from the 60s
The comment is all of them appear to be following that trend

On the other hand they had a racist rapist who is knowingly employed by the British government. Wait a min......

Not the only reason:
Casino Royale:

In the 1950s, French men were incredibly sexist, and Bond had no use for women. LOL.

I read all the novels and they start out great, but IIRC Moonraker happens to be about the point where they start turning into utter shit.

Well, the same novel has Bond challenging the villain to a very high stakes game of....contract bridge. Just saying...
dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 252d
Contract bridge is no joke. For one thing, you’ve gotta find four people who know how to play.
Actually, I think I could beat Elon in bridge with the right partner.
