on The Matrix · c/funny · 24 pts · 13d

Coping mechanisms can bring comfort, that's true. My view is they were tools to create the alter-ego, Neo, which felt to him like a truer representation of himself than the matrix offered when he followed the rules. He also uses them to endlessly search for answers to why he feels like something is wrong with the world -

I know why you hardly sleep, why you live alone and why, night after night, you sit at your computer. You're looking for him.

His normal reaction to a party invitation is to say no, which he did, until he saw the white rabbit. The only reason he went out was in the pursuit of answers.

To visually distinguish between the real world and the matrix, the filmmakers gave scenes inside the matrix a green tint, a la the old school green tint of Neo's command line.

I'm not being argumentative I just feel the need to discuss the finer plot points of the matrix in a shitpost. It's just my programming...

on What game had you like this? · c/gaming · 2 pts · 128d

For me, a friend let me borrow Demon Souls but it just didn't click. Years later, I played Dark Souls and it immediately became my favorite game. DS2 was my least favorite of the series, in equal parts because of the much different control/feel and also the wasted mandatory levels you have to spend to get reasonable i-frames. It just feels clunky compared to the rest of the series. I do really like the level design and environments though.

Probably the simplest solution if the assumption holds that the ones trying to be kept out are too short to reach. Although don't make the wife mad or you could get locked in from the outside...

Alternatively, assuming the door is only prepped with a door handle currently and you don't want to drill more holes into the door, just Google a cheap push button style lock that fits the existing hole. Looks like there's plenty of low security options around $20.

Might be hard to depict creating a securities market for rotting fruit, packaged as A+ grade fruit, in short comic form.

I made the mistake of signing up for Discord with a new email address a couple years ago and the amount of spam I started getting to that email was insane. I wasn't using that email to sign up for any other accounts yet so I know it was them. Happened like a week after signing up, I figured they just immediately turn around and sell whatever info they get from their users as soon as they get it. I won't be giving them anything else, thanks.

Came out great, thanks, but next time I won't be slicing the ass trips. Just personal preference.
