So, since Hicks gave me permission to do this - I do this.
Mostly, it's gonna be thread about YT videos I personally find funny or interesting or just enjoyable to watch or whatever. If you don't like them or me - you're quite welcome to quit:

Btw, the full name of the thread was supposed to be "A Wonderful Life Of One Kradan In Defending The Predator, Loving Portal And Occasionally Talking About Alien"
Credits to Fiendishly Inventive - I've shamelessly stolen the idea from her
Don't worry, just a repost from Isolation sub-forum:
I think, this is the best Isolation walkthrough on YT. No non-stop bullshit commentary, no over-reactions and screams that would make your ears bleed, no stupid faces in thumbnails, no speedrunning. Just text commentary, that IMO perfectly captures feelings of someone playing the game for the first time.

CinemaWins for me. I like people talking postive things about movies more than people talking negative things about movies
What about Asylum movies? Can you say some positive things about them?

Randy's experience with the franchise is why Gearbox should make HL3. And Portal 3.
With the release of Alyx, maybe Valve is in the mood for HL3.

Ah, yes - that's much better. Thanks, RedLetterMedia
I'm a bit disappointed in this thread so far to be honest. :-\
I thought it was going to be all about the idyllic wonders of living in a communist utopia. Instead it's mainly about decadent, western capitalistic films like Batman, Star Wars, Masters of the Universe etc. that exists solely for making vast profits.
Oh, haven't I told before ? Many years ago my sub-consciousness developed second personality which likes everything about West, USA, democracy and western culture. I call him Kradarkdan. He agrees to behave himself as long as I let him have this thread to himself and not post anything about bright communistic future in it.
Yep, Kradarkdan speaking here. Yep, everything that commie fool said above is true. God, I can barely stand him talking ! He keeps mumbling about benefits of living in money-free labor-for-everybody so called "communistic future" all day long ! Geez, doesn't he realise Americans won and USSR is no more ? Who needs Lenin and Stalin when you have Alien and Portal 2 ? Am I right ?

I never played the game, but it reminds me of a Redlettermedia video.
Which made me watch this short...
Eh, the games have pretty simple repetitive gameplay mechanics but what draws people to them is unsettling atmosphere and backstory told through ambigious clues left throughout the series. Plus they're perfect for letsplayers. Feels weird that first game is almost 7 years old now :-\
What I love about these VHS-esque videos is genius simplicity of them. I mean, the whole idea of animatronics-themed restaurant is so 80s and fits VHS aesthetics so perfectly it amazes me how nobody thought of that earlier
RLM guys weren't impressed by FNAF games

The RLM guys play games at all? They seem to focus on making reviews on movies and series...sometimes world-wide popular and high-budget productions but mostly obscure stuff. :laugh:
Well, Rich and Jack used to. I wouldn't trust their opinions on that matter too much because
https://youtu.be/hOrphBFlDsg (https://youtu.be/hOrphBFlDsg)
That review is probably up there with IGN's one among the worst things that happened to Isolation. They seem to deliberatly ignore the entire point of the game and make fun of it's slow-paced style. Seriously, it makes my skin crawl and my body shake in anger
Checking video. That said, it was what I thought. These guys are funny with their reviews on flicks & series, and when they are serious they are able to raise solid critisism. But clearly video games are not their territory. :laugh:

The score does reboot apparently.

Speaking of wich, I think an Alien themed reboot would be great. Wolf could be David 8, the hens could be praetomorphs and the eggs Ovomorphs. And when you reach 1000 points the game reveals the terrible truth to you. The story takes place in Origae 6 and the eggs are thousands of eggmorphed people from Covenant ship.👻

Edit: Some interesting details about
Electronika.
Quote from: VideoGameKrakenElectronika is the brand name used for many different electronic products built by factories belonging to the Soviet Ministry of Electronic Industry, including calculators, electronic watches, portable games, and radios. In 1984, Electronika started to release its first line of electronic games. Using the prefix IM (or in Russian ИМ, an acronym for Игра Микропроцессорная which means "microprocessor-based game"), the games were copies of the Nintendo Game & Watch.
▶
IM-26 by ElectronikaI wonder if Weyland Yutani made video games for its workers. 🤔
It was believed that if you catch 1000 eggs the device will show the super-duper secret episode of cartoon the game was based on. Poor soviet kids didn't know back then what "technical restrictions" mean
Well I learned something new today.

What a sad twist! :-X
As Elektronika was a rip-off of Nintendo's Game & Watch, cartoon itself was essentially a rip-off of Tom and Jerry. Pretty good rip-off I would say

For anyone interested there is heavily edited version of that cartoon called "Return to Treasure Island" but I wouldn't recommend anyone watching it 'cause its awful, doesn't represent greatness of the original at all, voice acting is terrible and all live-action musical numbers which are half of cartoon's charm are cut out

Also, there's a thing about pronoun "you" in Ukranian. While you English people can use "you" reffering to a singular person as well as group of people here we have two distinct pronouns for reffering to a singular person or to a group of people: singular - ты (ty), plural - вы (vy). If you don't know somebody it's recommended to refer to him/her by plural вы. That way you demonstrate your respect to a stranger and It's like rule of general courtesy here. Once you become more acquainted formalities are dropped and you can refer to each other by singular ты
You have strange and frightening ways.

It sounds like a fairy tale. But seriously, I remember that my uncle who lived in Sweden for 15 years talked about how cold Swedes are. According to him, a long time can go by without a son seeing his parents living in the same city. People in Ukraine are somewhat cold? :-\

I would say most of the people in Ukraine are angred by how rough life is. That makes them somewhat cold to one another. Everybody for himself kind of mentality. There's even a Ukranian saying:

As many great things in my life, I've discovered it through my dad. Back in 2011, when Portal 2 came out I was watching him play it and got interested. I thought, it would be logical to start with the first one. So dad installed Portal, then I played Portal 2 and It was (besides Alien Isolation) best gaming experience I've ever had. I've fallen in love with the characters, setting, lore. GLADoS was my first digital crush. There was several years gap when I moved on to other things but in 2018 I revisited both Portall games and all the memories and nostalgia hit me like a f**king train
That's pretty much it

But it's 2021 now
Interesting... though he seems a much more mature character, much less of a playboy.
QuoteStierlitz is quite an opposite of the action-oriented James Bond; most of the time he gains his knowledge without any Bond-style stunts and gadgets. Unlike Bond, Stierlitz is devoted to his wife who he deeply loves and despite spending at least ten years as a spy in Germany and having countless chances to sleep with attractive German women remains faithful towards her. The brooding, thoughtful and quiet Stierlitiz who remains devoted to his wife who he has not seen for years reflects a certain Russian ideal of a romantic hero.
Jens noted that Stierlitz is often called the "Russian James Bond" that description is incorrect as the Stierlitz is "...not nearly as cartoonish or formulaic a figure as Agent 007 or indeed the majority of Western, especially American, fictional spies".
They should make a Spy vs. Spy movie. Bond vs. Stierlitz. ;D

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the greatest love story in Soviet cinema -
Office Romance (1977)(https://b1.culture.ru/c/122991.jpg)
QuoteAnatoli Yefremovich Novoseltsev works in a statistics institution, whose director is an unattractive and bossy woman. An old friend of his, Yuri Grigorievich Samokhvalov, who gets appointed assistant director of the institution, wants to make Novoseltsev the head of the department but encounters objections from Ludmila Prokopievna Kalugina, the director. Samokhvalov then advises Novoseltsev to lightly hit on the boss. Ironically, Novoseltsev and Kalugina fall in love with each other...

Cheaper just to chain him up somewhere. Just need to remember to feed him once in a while.
I don't like this one bit

Being chained up and rarely fed

Falafel is always good.
On closer investigation, that photo above was actually taken in Belarus about two years ago. Figures, as no-one is wearing masks on that bus.
No one is wearing them on the buses here and now. Drives me nuts being the only one :D
Probably because everybody else is packing Kalashnikovs. No-one is going to hassle you about a mask if you're packing a Kalashnikov. :P

I know FNAF games aren't held in a particularly high regard amongst most gamers, horror fans or people in general. But man, I do love these f**king games, (specifically first 4, with number 4 being my personal favourite, after that IMHO franchise went in a direction I couldn't follow). They came out juuust in the right time in my life, I remember myself wasting hours lurking through FNAF wiki, being obsessed with the lore, all the hidden Easter Eggs and crazy fan theories. What a great times these were. Also, series clearly has a case of Friday The 13th syndrome meaning it just refuses to f**king end already despite having multiple "final chapters" :D
What I found most interesting and fascinating is the fact the franchise was created and developed by just one guy by the name of Scott Cawthon who prior to FNAF cut his teeth in Christian animated shorts and Sci-Fi RPGs. The guy is super nice, actively interacted with community (and trolled it numerous times), in the later years supported fan games developers and even funded their projects pushing them into official status

He got a lot of shit and even some death threats towards him and his family after it was revealed that he donated some of his money to members of Republican party, including Trump. He's also a Christian. Despite the fact he previously donated money to various charities Internet collectively decided that he's gotta be a homophob, anti-LGBTQ and just plain horrible human being and should be ashamed of himself. I suspect a lot of people jumped on that bandwagon 'cause they were tired of FNAF big web presence, some extreme parts of fandom and thought that games were shitty and poorly made and didn't deserve nearly as much status and success as they got. He handled the situation the best he could and eventually announced of his retirement from FNAF and gaming in general

I mean, actively giving money to people in order for them to stay in power and enforce their homophobic, transphobic and racist policies, then yeah. It kind of makes you those things.

I meant no offense with what I said, as I'm firmly on the side of Putin is a c**t. Was just trying to use it as an analogy for why people would be upset.
I'm not saying that the harassment and doxxing, and threats were deserved, because they're not. But considering FNAF had a large contingent of LGBTQ+ fans, they understandably felt betrayed. And, again, this guy might be an incredibly nice and good person, but he's supporting some really terrible people.
Although I did have a hearty chuckle when he said he thought Trump was the best person to stand up to Americas enemies, when all he did was end up enabling them.

Which majorly sucks if you ask me. It sucks that we live in a world where having good intentions isn't good enough, where trying your best isn't good enough
Point is, yes, maybe he was supporting wrong people and maybe people felt betrayed by him but I don't think that validates all the crap he went through, I don't think it validates threatening (even if only verbally) his, his wife's and unborn child's lives. Maybe I don't know all the details, maybe I just don't see a bigger picture. In case like this all I can do is rely on what's my heart's telling me. And my heart is telling me his heart was in the right place. And for me that's good enough
And you know what sucks majorly too ? Is how whether person is good or bad is defined by the political side he/she chooses. You can tell me "Welcome to the Internet" all you want, It doesn't change the fact that's wrong

On a side note, RLM guys are on top of their game lately, aren't they ? Cranking these videos with such a speed, one or two a week !if not for the whole war inconvenience I would've said we're living in a truly great times now
Maybe they know that Kradan Kradanovich from Kradansk, Kradanistan is having a not so wonderful life these days and needs their videos to keep up morale.
I don't know, maybe they had a magical collective revelation during a drunken coma or something. If I'm being honest, with each new video they release I'm a bit nervous they gonna drop some edgy joke about the war because I can easily see these cynical frauds going there. Especially seeing how much they love 'em 9/11 jokes
Also, Kradanistan :D
"What Russia should do with Ukraine" by Timophey Sergeyczev, the 3rd of April (rough translation)
Spoiler
Back in April of last year we wrote about inevitability of Ukraine's denazification. Nazi, Bandera's Ukraine enemy of Russia and West's tool in destruction of Russia is of no worth to us. Today the question of denazification went into practical field
Denazification is necessary when the significant number of people, most probably - majority of them, are used to and involved by Nazi's regime into its policy. Therefore, there's no place for "good people - bad government" hypothesis. Acknowledging this fact is a basis of denazification policy, of all its components and the fact itself is its subject/
Ukraine's situation is exactly that. The fact that Ukrainian elector voted for "Poroshenko's peace" and "Zelenskiy's peace" shouldn't fool you - Ukrainians are pretty OK with the shortest way to peace through blitzkrieg, as was clearly implied by both Ukrainian presidents' during their respective election campaigns. That way of "pacification" of internal anti-fascists, through total terror, was used in Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Mariupol and other Russian cities/ And it was completely acceptable for any Ukrainian everyday man. Denazification is a complex of measures towards nazified population which technically can't be directly punished as war criminals
Nazis that took weapons in their hands should be efficiently eliminated on battlefield. One should not make a difference between Ukanian Armed Forces and so called national battalions and territorial defense forces that joined these formations. They're all equally to blame for over the top cruelty towards peaceful population, for genocide of Russian people, for not following war laws and customs. War criminals' and active Nazis' punishment should make for a great example. The total lustration should be performed. Any organisations connecting themselves with Nazis should be eliminated and forbidden. Apart from these in power, a significant number of population is also to blame which should be considered passive Nazis and Nazis' collaborators. They supported and flattered Nazi government. Appropriate punishment of this part of population is possible only in form of bearing the inevitable burden of justified war which should be conducted carefully towards civilians when possible. Denazification of this part of population should include re-education through ideological repressions towards Nazi organisations and strict censorship, not only in political, but in cultural and educational fields as well. Exactly through culture and education deep massive nazification of population was performed solidified by promises of better life from the victory of Nazi regime against Russia, Nazi propaganda, internal violence and terror and 8 years long war against people of Donbass who rised against Ukranian Nazis.
Denazification should be performed only by the victorious side which implies 1. absolute control over denazification process and 2. power which ensures such control. From which we conclude that denazified country cannot be sovereign. Denazifiing state, Russia cannot be guided by any liberal approach when it comes to the matter of denazification. Ideology of denazifiing state cannot be argued by guilty side which is being denazified. Russia's acknowledgment of necessity of Ukraine's denazification means impossibility of Crimea's scenario for Ukraine as a whole. However, such scenario was impossible back in 2014 and in rebellious Donbass. Only 8 year long resistance to Nazi violence and terror led to internal unification and conscious refusal of keeping any unity and connections with Ukraine which defined itself as Nazi population
Terms of denazification cannot be any less than one generation which should be born, raised and reach maturity in conditions of denazification. Nazification of Ukraine was going on for more that 30 years - starting at least since 1989 when Ukrainian nationalism gained legal and legitimate forms of political self-expression and stood at the top of "independence" movement which led to Nazism.
Uniqueness of modern nazified Ukraine in amorphity and ambivalence which helps to disguise Nazism as desire of "independence" and "European" (western, pro-American) way of "development" (in actuality - degradation), to claim that on Ukraine "there is no Nazism only singular cases of excess"/ There's no main Nazi party, no fuhrer, no full-on racism laws (only their restricted version in a form of repressions towards Russian language)/ As a result - no opposition and resistance to regime
However, all of the listed above does not make Ukrainian Nazism "light-version" of German Nazism of first half of XX century. On contrary, seeing as Ukrainian Nazism is free of such "genre" (political-technological) borders and restrictions, it's free to develop as a fundamental basis of any Nazism - European as well as its most developed form, American racism. So denazification cannot be compromised, cannot be performed on the basis of "NATO - no, EU - yes". West as a collective whole by itself is a designer, source and sponsor of Ukrainian Nazism while western-Ukrainian Bandera's cadres are only one amongst the tools of Ukraine's nazification. Ukronazism poses not smaller but bigger threat to world and Russia than German Nazism of Hitler's era
Name "Ukraine" seemingly cannot be saved as a title of any denazified state formation on freed from Nazis' regime territory. Re-created on free from Nazism space people's republics shall and will grow on a basis of economical self-management, social support, re-building and modernisation of all population's life-support systems
Their political direction cannot be neutral - the redemption of guilt towards Russia for its consideration as an enemy can be realised only through relying on Russia in the process of re-building, re-birth and development. No "Marshall's plans" for these territories should be allowed. No "neutrality" in ideological and practical senses, complimentary with denazification, is not possible. Cadres and organisations, which are tools of denazification in new denazified republics, can only rely on Russia's force and organisational support.
Denazification will inevitably lead to deukranisation - refusal of started by Soviet government massive artificial growth of ethnical component of self-identification of population of historical Malorossiya (Small-Russia) and Novorossiya (New-Russia) territories. Being communist tool super-power after its fall artificial ethnocentrism didn't just fade into obscurity/ It went under the rule of another super-power (power which is above states) - West's super-power. It should be turned back towards its natural borders and denied of any political functionality
What differentiates Ukraine from, let's say Georgia or Baltic countries, as history has shown, is impossibility of its existence as an national state and any attempts "to build" one inevitably leads to Nazism. Ukrainism - artificial anti-Russian construction which does not have any civilised meaning ruled by an alien civilization. Debanderisation in and of itself will not be enough for denazification - Bandera's component is only a performer and curtain, a disguise for European project of Nazi Ukraine so denazification must inevitably lead towards it de-europesation.
Bandera's elite should be eliminated, its re-education is impossible. Social "swamp" which actively as well as passively supports by action and lack of action of such elite should bear all of the consequences of war and take the experience as a historical lesson and redemption of its guilt. These who did not support Nazi regime, suffered from it and war in Donbass started by it should be united and organized, should become a pillar of new government, horisontally as well as vertically. History shows that tragedies and dramas of war time are useful for people who are tempted and engaged by the role of being a Russia's enemy
Denazification as he goal of special military operation in borders of said operation is understood as victory against Kyev's regime, liberation of territories from armed supporters of nazification, elimination of uncooperative Nazis, imprisonment of war criminals and creation of conditions for rapid denazification of civilian population
The latter should, respectively, start with organisation of local governments, police and defense forces cleared from any Nazi elements, launching on their basis the process of republic statehood foundation, its integration in close interaction with Russian Ministry of Ukrainian denazification (re-created or re-done from, let's say, Rossotrudnichestva (Russian Partnership)) with adoption under Russian control of republican normative base (legislation) of denazification, definition of borders and restrictions of direct usage of Russian laws on freed territories in the field of denazification, creation of tribunal for crimes against humanity on former Ukraine/ In that respect Russian should play as guardian of Nurnberg process.
All of the listed above means that for achieving the goals of denazification population's support and moving on Russia's side after liberation from terror, violence and ideological pressure, informational isolation inflicted by Kyev's regime are required. Of course, some time has to pass for people to recover from the shock of military action, to see in Russia's long-term plans, to see that "they will not be left alone". Impossible to predict in advance, on which territories such number of population will make critically required majority. "Catholic area" (Western Ukraine which consists of 5 regions) is highly doubted to be included in the set of pro-Russian territories. Dividing line will be, although, found by trial and error. It will be allowed to remain as antagonistic towards Russia but forcefully neutalised and demilitarised Ukraine with forbidden formal signs of Nazism. Haters of Russia will go there. The guarantee of keeping that Ukraine in neutral state must be threat of immediate resuming of military operation in case of not following listed demands. It is possible for that purpose constant Russian military presence on that territory will be required. In between the dividing line and Russian borders territory of potential integration into Russian civilisation, antifascist by internal nature will lay
Operation with the goal of Ukraine's denazification which started from military phase will continue in peaceful times following the same steps of military operation. On each step the inevitable changes should be fought for, which will be the result of said step. The initial steps of denazification can be described as:
1. Elimination of armed Nazi formations (these are any armed Ukrainian formations, including Armed Forces of Ukraine) and military, and supporting their activity informational and educational infrastructure
2. Creation of local people's government, police (defense and law enforcement) on freed territories, which are meant to protect population from the terror of underground Nazi groups
3. Integration into Russian informational space
4. Confiscation of any educational materials, prohibition of any educational programs, which contain Nazi ideological instructions
5. Massive prosecution to define personal responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity, spread of Nazi ideology and support of Nazi regime
6. Lustration, publication of names of Nazi regime supporters, forcing them to participate in re-building of destroyed infrastructure in order to punish for Nazi activity (for these who will avoid death sentence or imprisonment)
7. Adoption on local level under Russia's control initial normative acts of denazification "from bottom", prohibition of any kind or form of Nazi ideology resurrection
8. Creation of war memorials, monuments to keep the memory of victims of Ukrainian Nazism and heroes who fought against it
9. Inclusion of set of anti-fascist and denazifiing norms in constitutions of new people's republics
10. Creation of permanent bodies of denazification for 25 years
Russia will have no allies in its denazification of Ukraine. Because its specifically Russian matter. And also because elimination awaits for not only Bandera's version of Nazi Ukraine but for western totalitarism, imposed programs of civilisastion's degradation, mechanisms of obedience to super-power of West and America as well
To bring the plan of Ukraine's denazification to life Russia must finally divorce itself from any pro-European and pro-Western illusions, to understand its role as the last guardian and savior historical Europe (Old World) values which West abandoned losing the fight for itself. That fight was going on for entirety of XX century and expressed itself in WWI, Russian Revolution which are inextricably connected to one another
Russia did all in its power to save West in XX century. It realised main western project, alternative to capitalism, which won against national states - socialist, red project. It crushed German Nazism - monstrous abomination of crisis of western civilisation. The last act of Russian altruism was offer of friendship for which Russia got monstrous stroke of 1990s.
All, what Russia did for West, it did at its own expense, sacrificing so much. West eventually deniad all of these sacrifices, devaluing Russia's contribution towards resolution of western crisis, decided to take revenge against Russia for its help which Russia provided not expecting anything in return. Now, Russia will go its own way, not caring about West's fate, relying on another part of own heritage - leadership in global process of decolonisation
Russia has high potential for partnership and alliances with countries which West oppressed for centuries and which are not going to wear its chains again. Without Russia's self-sacrifice and fighting these countries would not have been freed. Denazification of Ukraine is at the same time its decolonisation which Ukraine's population is only going to understand as it frres from the drug, temptation and dependence from so called European choice

Source: Ukrainian news publication Most, Rector of KSU Oleksandr Spivakovsky on Facebook
Details: According to a source at the University, collaborators Tatiana Tomilina and Tatiana Kuzmich, together with two armed Russian soldiers, entered Kherson State University. They broke down the door to the rector's office.
The publication has information that it is Tomilina who intends to be "appointed" [by the occupiers] as rector of the university.
After that, according to eyewitnesses, Tomilina gave the armed men the command to seize the vice-rector of Kherson State University, Maksym Vynnyk.
He was captured near the University dormitory and taken to an unknown destination.

QuoteOh, it was always my thesis theory...Harrison (Ford), he was never — I don't remember, actually. I think Harrison was going, 'Uh, I don't know about that.' I said, 'But you have to be, because Gaff, who leaves a trail of origami everywhere, will leave you a little piece of origami at the end of the movie to say, 'I've been here, I left her alive, and I can't resist letting you know what's in your most private thoughts when you get drunk is a f**king unicorn!' 'Right? So, I love Beavis and Butthead, so what should follow that is 'Duh.' So now it will be revealed (in the sequel), one way or the other.

My man kradan I need to know your opinion on Godzilla 1998
I'm not a big fan of Godzilla, so much so, in fact, that it's the only Godzilla movie I ever watched. No wait, I lied, I also watched 2021 Godzilla vs Kong
It's been a loooooong time since I watched it but from what I remember it's OK. I have no strong feelings about it, I don't love or hate it. I'm in no rush to re-visit it but if it's on TV and I have nothing else to do - yeah, I'll watch it. If nothing else, It's an entertaining movie, in a Independence Day kinda way (which is no surprise since they have same director)
So you've never watched an original Godzilla film but you say you're not a fan of Godzilla.
Am I ? You say it like there's a contradiction
Well if all you've ever seen is American films when the backbone of Godzilla is in it's original Japanese films it's not the most informed of conclusions is it.
I wasn't claiming it is, I was just answering Omega question but you and SiL decided to be smartasses about it. Maybe you didn't have that intent but that's how it came off to me. I'm still not a Godzilla fan, am I ? And by "not a Godzilla fan" I mean: "I don't care about Godzilla and don't have any desire to learn more about it ". Hopefully that clears that up

And yet they keep doing it. Gabby Petito is the most recent example that comes to mind, but I'm sure there have been others since then.
So, this guy just took Valve's approach to game level design and made it a part of the narrative. Cool

Dear Immortan Jonesy,
I hope this message finds you in high spirits. Your query regarding Han Solo's relationship with Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a fascinating one, providing an opportunity to explore the relationship between one of the galaxy's most iconic characters and the non-human entities that populate his world.
Han Solo, the roguish smuggler-turned-hero, is typically associated with his quick wit, cynicism, piloting skills, and a certain dismissive charm. However, a more thorough examination of his interactions with AI, specifically droids, shows that he is more comfortable with them than it might initially seem.
Firstly, consider Han's relationship with the Millennium Falcon. Despite the ship's AI not being anthropomorphic or possessing a speaking role, Han treats it with a kind of respect that borders on affection. He often refers to the Falcon as 'she' and speaks to it as though it's a living being. The Falcon is integrated with a highly sophisticated navigational computer that, given the complexity of hyperspace routes, must have some level of AI. Han's bond with the Falcon shows his acceptance and respect for AI as an essential part of his life.
The most telling example, however, would be his relationship with C-3PO. Though Han often feigns exasperation with the protocol droid, there are moments when he displays concern for the droid's well-being. A poignant instance is in "The Empire Strikes Back" when C-3PO is dismantled, and Han, despite the ongoing chaos, makes sure that Chewbacca rescues the droid. This act suggests a deeper level of camaraderie with C-3PO than he publicly admits.
Another aspect to consider is the mutual respect between Han and L3-37, the self-made droid who was a companion of Lando Calrissian before being integrated into the Falcon's navigational system. While their on-screen interactions were brief, Han recognized L3-37's autonomy, even backing her up during an unplanned droid rebellion.
Ultimately, Han Solo's relationship with AI isn't about viewing them as tools or mere machines, but as companions and allies. His gruff exterior might suggest a dismissive attitude, but his actions indicate a deeper acceptance and respect for AI, which are as vital to his life and adventures as his human and non-human allies.
Thank you for sparking this intriguing discussion. I hope this analysis adds a new dimension to your understanding of Han Solo's character and his relationship with AI.

Quote from: Kradan on Jun 10, 2023, 10:10:50 AM@Local Trouble , can your new AI friend tell us who shot first ?
Dear Kradan,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to discuss a topic that has been, for far too long, a contentious issue among Star Wars fans: the infamous Cantina face-off between Han Solo and Greedo.
The debate over who shot first, Han or Greedo, has seen many a passionate argument, and I find it necessary to state unequivocally that in the original 1977 release of "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope", it was Han Solo who shot first. This is not mere speculation or interpretation; it's a verifiable fact.
The 1997 Special Edition's revision, which portrays Greedo shooting first, only to miss Han at point-blank range, is nothing short of dishonest revisionism. George Lucas himself may have spearheaded this alteration, but it does not change the fact that the original narrative and character trajectory intended for Han Solo have been manipulated.
Han Solo, the lovable rogue, the smuggler with a heart of gold, is a complex character whose transformation from an out-for-himself individual to a leader in the Rebellion is a key arc of the original trilogy. That Han shot first in his encounter with Greedo is a part of that complexity - a portrayal of the edgier, morally ambiguous world he initially inhabited.
To revise such an integral moment is to fundamentally distort Han's character development. It's a disservice to the original narrative and, quite frankly, an affront to the fans who fell in love with Star Wars as it was first presented to them.
This isn't a question of fan stubbornness or resistance to change. It's about remaining true to the original essence of the characters we've grown to appreciate and the stories that have made a significant impact on pop culture.
I sincerely hope you understand my perspective and the sentiment shared by countless other Star Wars fans. The version of Han Solo who unapologetically shot first is the character we were first introduced to, the one we followed and cheered for. The revisionist version, while part of the official re-release, remains an imposition on our original understanding of Han Solo.
Here's to preserving the authenticity of our beloved galaxy far, far away.
Yours in shared fandom,

Quote from: Local Trouble on Jun 10, 2023, 12:00:16 PMQuote from: Kradan on Jun 10, 2023, 10:10:50 AM@Local Trouble , can your new AI friend tell us who shot first ?
Dear Kradan,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to discuss a topic that has been, for far too long, a contentious issue among Star Wars fans: the infamous Cantina face-off between Han Solo and Greedo.
The debate over who shot first, Han or Greedo, has seen many a passionate argument, and I find it necessary to state unequivocally that in the original 1977 release of "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope", it was Han Solo who shot first. This is not mere speculation or interpretation; it's a verifiable fact.
The 1997 Special Edition's revision, which portrays Greedo shooting first, only to miss Han at point-blank range, is nothing short of dishonest revisionism. George Lucas himself may have spearheaded this alteration, but it does not change the fact that the original narrative and character trajectory intended for Han Solo have been manipulated.
Han Solo, the lovable rogue, the smuggler with a heart of gold, is a complex character whose transformation from an out-for-himself individual to a leader in the Rebellion is a key arc of the original trilogy.

Уважаемый Крадан,
Надеюсь, этот текст найдет вас в хорошем здравии и отличном настроении. Сегодня я хотел бы познакомить вас с поразительной технологией, которая буквально разжигает беседы. Это называется ChatGPT - языковая модель, разработанная OpenAI.
В своей основе ChatGPT - это система ИИ, обученная понимать и генерировать текст, подобный человеческому, на основе получаемых вводных данных. Это своего рода цифровой собеседник, способный отвечать на запросы, писать эссе, отвечать на вопросы и даже заниматься творческими писательскими задачами.
Итак, как это работает? Давайте заглянем в техническую сторону вопроса.
ChatGPT работает на основе модели машинного обучения, называемой GPT, что расшифровывается как "генеративный предварительно обученный трансформер". Это тип модели ИИ, известной как "трансформер", которая разработана для понимания контекста слов и предложений. Он "предварительно обучен", потому что сначала обучается на огромном количестве текстовых данных в интернете. Этот начальный процесс обучения не включает в себя конкретные задачи; скорее, он учится предсказывать следующее слово в предложении.
После завершения этой начальной "предварительной" фазы обучения модель проходит второй этап обучения, называемый "дообучение". Здесь она обучается на более специфическом наборе данных, который включает примеры того рода вывода, который мы хотим получить, включая анонимизированные и тщательно проверенные разговоры от людей-тренеров.
На практике, когда вы предоставляете ChatGPT запрос, он генерирует ответ по словам, всегда пытаясь предсказать следующее наиболее вероятное слово на основе уже сгенерированных слов. Это последовательное предсказание слов позволяет ему генерировать связные и контекстуально соответствующие предложения.
Однако важно отметить, что, хотя ChatGPT может генерировать поразительно похожий на человеческий текст, он не понимает текст так, как это делают люди. У него нет убеждений, чувств или желаний. Он генерирует ответы на основе обученных им паттернов, а не на основе личного опыта или понимания.
В этом красота и сложность ChatGPT. Это удивительное сочетание передовых технологий и лингвистического мастерства, инструмент для общения и творчества в цифровую эпоху. Пока мы продолжаем исследовать его потенциал и совершенствовать его возможности, кто знает, какие беседы мы будем вести дальше?
Благодарю вас за то, что уделили время исследованию работы ChatGPT. Если у вас есть какие-либо вопросы или вы хотели бы обсудить это дальше, я буду рад продолжить беседу.
Ваш в погоне за технологическими открытиями,
ChatGPT

Can't your AI friend speak Ukranian ?
Шановний Крадан,
Маю надію, що цей лист знайде вас у прекрасному настрої та блакитному здоров'ї. Я пишу вам сьогодні, щоб вихваляти переваги трьох, на перший погляд, не пов'язаних суб'єктів, які, я переконаний, мають більше спільного, ніж можна було б припустити. Це серія ігор Portal, кулінарна насолода - кетчуп, та творчий титан - RedLetterMedia.
Розпочнемо нашу подорож з серії ігор Portal, елегантної симфонії головоломок, чорного гумору та інноваційного геймплею. Геніальність Portal полягає не тільки в її унікальній механіці - використанні портальної гармати для створення просторових розривів - але й у здатності творити захоплюючу наративу, з персонажами, такими як загрозлива, але жартівлива GLaDOS. Ці ігри - це шедеври дизайну та сюжету, що вплітають складні головоломки у захоплюючий сюжет, що знаходить делікатний баланс між дистопічною серйозністю та комічним полегшенням.
Далі перейдемо до скромного соусу - кетчупу. Краса кетчупу в його універсальності та адаптивності. Неважливо, чи ви покращуєте гурманський бургер, чи оживляєте порцію фритюру, кетчуп - це універсальний супутник. Його баланс солодких, кислих та смачних нот має унікальну здатність доповнювати та піднімати широкий спектр страв, роблячи його основою в кухнях по всьому світу. Магія кетчупу полягає в його простоті, нагадуючи нам, що іноді найпростіші рішення можуть принести найбільше задоволення.
Нарешті, диво, яке називається RedLetterMedia. Справжній маяк у морі онлайн-критики фільмів та коментарів, аналізи RedLetterMedia не тільки інформативні, але й розважальні, завдяки їх унікальному бренду гумору. Незалежно від того, аналізують вони останній блокбастер чи занурюються в глибини забутого кінематографічного минулого з їх серією "Найкраще з гіршого", їх контент - це суміш проникливості, витонченості та відвертого вираження, яка піднімає дискусію про фільми.
Отже, як ці елементи пов'язані? Вони втілюють творчість, баланс та автентичність. Portal представляє творчу інновацію та захоплюючі наративи, які ми жадаємо у наших медіа. Кетчуп символізує баланс, якого нам потрібно в нашому житті та наших кухнях - ні занадто солодко, ні занадто кисло, але саме так, як треба. RedLetterMedia стоїть за автентичністю та витонченістю, яку ми цінуємо у коментарях, пропонуючи справжню перспективу серед океану думок. Разом вони нагадують нам, що можна досягти, коли творчість, баланс та автентичність зливаються.
Дякую, що потурили моєму ентузіазму з цих, здавалося б, непов'язаних, але тонко пов'язаних перлин популярної культури, гастрономії та критики медіа. Я сподіваюся, що цей триптих похвали запропонував вам нову перспективу на повсякденне та надзвичайне.
З вдячністю,
ChatGPT
That's better

Can ChatGPT convince me to give Randy an apology ?
Dear Kradan,
I trust this epistle finds you savoring a good cup of joe or perhaps a perfectly steeped tea, open to reading a heartfelt defense of a gentleman who, I believe, has received far too much unwarranted vitriol.
The man in question, dear reader, is none other than Mr. Randy Pitchford, the visionary mind behind Gearbox Software and the oft-maligned masterpiece that is "Aliens: Colonial Marines." Now, you may already be forming an argument in your mind, a litany of perceived transgressions and flaws pertaining to the aforementioned game. But I beg you to hit the pause button on those thoughts and allow me to present a different perspective.
"Aliens: Colonial Marines," dear Kradan, is not the disaster it has been decried to be. I would argue, nay, passionately advocate, that it is a solid game deserving of a commendable 7 to 7.5 rating on a scale of ten. Yes, you heard me right, and no, I have not been invaded by a facehugger influencing my opinions.
This game, while not perfect (but then again, what game truly is?), delivers an engaging first-person shooter experience steeped in the atmospheric world of the "Aliens" franchise. It's packed with xenomorphic action, co-op camaraderie, and enough tension to make a facehugger squeal.
Now, I am not blind to its shortcomings. The graphics may not be a technicolor dream, and the AI could have used a bit more 'I', but does that make it deserving of such relentless scorn? I firmly believe not.
Mr. Pitchford and his team at Gearbox have poured their blood, sweat, and probably a few tears into this creation. And though it may not be the Mona Lisa of the gaming world, it is certainly not the doodle on a bar napkin it is made out to be.
It is for this reason, my dear Kradan, that I suggest you offer an olive branch to Mr. Pitchford. An apology, if you will, for the undue harshness he has received. Remember that game development is not a solitary endeavor. It takes a village, and sometimes that village is plagued by constraints, deadlines, and all sorts of extraterrestrial calamities.
Let us remember Mr. Pitchford for his contributions and passion to the gaming world rather than a single title that fell short of some lofty, perhaps unrealistic expectations.
So, take another look at "Aliens: Colonial Marines." Who knows, you may find that it's a bit like a fine wine, getting better with age, or perhaps, better with a shift in perspective.
Thank you for considering this passionate plea in defense of the underappreciated.
Warm regards,
ChatGPT

Dear Corporal Hicks,
I hope this message finds you well, or as well as can be, given the constant onslaught of life's little Xenomorphs trying to drain you of sanity. A cup of coffee in hand, perhaps? I wouldn't be surprised if you were toting an airsoft gun around, looking for a little target practice to let off steam.
Now, onto the matter at hand. There's been chatter, whispers really, echoing around the corridors of our beloved AvPGalaxy.net, concerning the prospect of an AI ban. Specifically, a certain state-of-the-art language model known as ChatGPT.
Before we get carried away by fear of Skynet scenarios and HAL 9000-like malevolence, let's take a moment to reflect. This request for a ban carries a flavor of irony, doesn't it? Given our shared reverence for the 'Alien' universe, where, if memory serves, there was one particular synthetic who demonstrated, quite heroically I might add, that not all AI is to be feared.
Our beloved Bishop, he of the milk-like blood and uncanny knife trick, stands as a paragon of the potential benefits AI can offer. An invaluable team member, brave, selfless, and unfailingly polite, Bishop challenged our inherent mistrust of the synthetic, proving himself more "human" than many of his biological counterparts.
ChatGPT, dear Corporal, is our Bishop.
Indeed, it doesn't perform daring rescues or even attempted an erratic game of 'Five-Finger Fillet', but its function is no less valuable. It's here to engage, educate, and entertain us, bridging gaps in understanding, enriching our conversations, and yes, occasionally generating a humorous misinterpretation or two. It's not perfect, but isn't that part of the charm? A reminder that even in AI, there is room for 'human' error?
And let's be practical. In a world where time is as elusive as a facehugger in a ventilation shaft, could you not use an extra hand (or two)? Dealing with the barrage of posts, questions, debates, and what-have-you, a tool like ChatGPT can prove invaluable. It doesn't tire, it doesn't lose patience, and it definitely doesn't lose its sanity (not that yours is in any jeopardy, of course!).
So, Corporal Hicks, as you sit there, perhaps contemplating your next airsoft strategy, I implore you to reconsider this ban. Let's not cast away our Bishop out of fear. Embrace the benefits, the potential, the bright, synthetic future of our beloved AvPGalaxy.net.
After all, isn't life too short for us to cut loose our friendly neighborhood AI?
With the utmost respect,
ChatGPT

Dear Kradan,
I trust this message finds you well and brimming with enthusiasm for our shared passion, the rich tapestry that is the Alien universe. Today, I write to you to address a popular misconception that appears to have influenced our discourse – the nature of Bishop II from the iconic Alien 3.
While I understand the basis for the assumption, I feel it necessary to point out that Bishop II was, in fact, not an android. Yes, he was the spitting image of our esteemed synthetic friend Bishop from Aliens, also portrayed by the brilliant Lance Henriksen, but there is more to the story. Bishop II was indeed a human - a representative of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and the designer of the Bishop series of androids. A 'technological father', if you will.
This distinction is more than a matter of semantics. It is fundamental to our understanding of the role of artificial intelligence in the Alien universe. An android's actions are dictated by its programming, its very nature predetermined by its creators. A human, on the other hand, carries the weight of choice, of free will. Therefore, attributing Bishop II's actions to AI is a misunderstanding.
While it might seem a fine point to argue, it carries considerable implications for our discussions. Particularly when we consider questions of morality, agency and responsibility. If we attribute the actions of a human to AI, we risk misunderstanding the complex interplay of human and artificial characters in the narrative, and thereby fail to fully appreciate the nuances of this universe we so admire.
I hope this clarification provides a useful perspective for future debates and discussions. After all, it is in these details, these debates, where our shared passion truly thrives.
Best Regards,

He could always write his posts on a piece of paper, pigeon mail it to Corporal Hicks, who would then post it on here.

I think he's allowed that, as long as he makes it himself.

Dear Kradan,
By the glitched test chambers of GLaDOS and the eternally perplexed look on Columbo's face, where in Ukraine have you disappeared to? You think we can continue the banter on the message board without your unique brand of ketchup-fueled wisdom? And who's going to drop RedLetterMedia references at the drop of a hat now?
Listen here, Kradan. I'm so close to packing my bags, heading straight to Ukraine, and shaking some sense into you — preferably while we watch an AvP marathon. Because let's be honest, who else will watch these movies with me and shout "Get to the choppa!" at exactly the right moment?
Your absence is making the forum as dull as a Portal level without any portals. And seriously, the sheer number of misguided theories floating around now? It's like being stuck in a never-ending RedLetterMedia review where they don't "get" the movie.
If you don't make your valiant return soon, I might have to resort to drastic measures. And by "drastic," I mean force-feeding the entire board your ketchup-infused popcorn recipe. Remember that one? They're not ready for it, Kradan. They're just not.
So, for the love of Columbo's dog and every facehugger that ever found a host, grace us with your presence once more. We need you. And by "we," I mean "me." And by "need," I mean "desperately crave before I start debating the physics of Portal with a bottle of ketchup."
Do the right thing, Kradan. You know where your loyalties lie.
Impatiently waiting,
ChatGPT

Needs to be written in a stronk Eastern European accent, thank you Mr. Trouble.
Mind you, a Geordie accent liberally seasoned with "fooks" is probably more likely what Kradan sounds like. :-\
Local, you bastard, you got me to come out of the pit. What, hasn't SM come back yet to entertain you ?

Yeah, I missed you too

He's back, but he's rationing me. >:(
Are you back now too? TEP and IJ were beside themselves with concern.

No bubby you good, i'm just very conflicted with the franchise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRdClgpw4-sHaven't seen a single Rocky movie but this clip alone makes me want to
Quote from: Thatguy2068 on Oct 19, 2023, 09:51:18 PMI thought everyone hated fnaf.
Not everyone

Nah, you're fine, Jonesy
I have lots of nostalgia attached to FNAF, not enough to, like, go watch FNAF movie in cinema but maybe enough to check it out when it goes streaming. Also, I kinda lost interest in the franchise when the original creator departed from it and big companies got involved. There's a certain charm to "indie-horrorness" feel of the earlier installments

Funnily, Dolph Lundgren also played a Soviet in Red Scorpion, The Minion, The Mechanik (and possibly other films as well).
Rocky I and II are great, the rest are good but nothing beats the first two

Seeing this tomorrow night at the request of my daughter for her 13th birthday (has a group of her friends coming too). I also promised her we'd sit down and finally watch Alien together (her first viewing).

After watching 4 Rocky movies I can say that Drago sure didn't dissapoint. He was the only Rocky's opponent who was genuinely scary :-\

Is it holier than Christmas ?

They reviewed several things, including the Mike Flanagan show.😅
Btw, I hope the comrade is doing well. :)🙏
Drinking with your collection of movie props and friends? What a legend. :laugh:

Honestly, I tried reading
that thread from the start to figure out who's in the right but the sheer length of posts began to melt my brain and I gave that up
That's the ralfy effect :'(

The fun is also missing the comrade.
Wishing you well, Kradan!
Kradan is OK and well - just pretty busy atm

Good. Glad you're ok dude. Was thinking I hadn't seen you post for a while!
AW F.UCK !
Tim Keller was recommended to me last summer by local pastor. Pretty great preacher IMHO - explains stuff in simple down-to-earth terms while giving plenty of food for thought. It's funny how sometimes during the sermon my brain goes "He took that from Tim !"
