2001: A Space Odyssey touched me in that special place between science, religion, and spirituality.

It was always hungry, and now it was starving. When the first faint glow of dawn crept into the cave, Moon-Watcher saw that his father had died in the night. He did not know that the Old One was his father, for such a relationship was utterly beyond his understanding, but as he looked at the emaciated body he felt dim disquiet that was the ancestor of sadness

In their explorations, they encountered life in many forms, and watched the workings of evolution on a thousand worlds. They saw how often the first faint sparks of intelligence flickered and died in the cosmic night. And because, in all the galaxy, they had found nothing more precious than Mind, they encouraged its dawning everywhere. They became farmers in the fields of stars; they sowed, and sometimes they reaped. And sometimes, dispassionately, they had to weed.

Idk man you’re the one that can’t seem to make out the details

It looks exactly like a nude woman with a bottlecap hat, it has to do with the shading. The pic you posted looks like clay, the OP pic looks like shiny skin. Yeah it’s not 100% photorealistic, obviously some details are missing, but the details that are there paint a picture. A nude picture, specifically, I’m pretty sure I can make out nipple and areola.

That detail + shading approximates nudity.

That shading is way different. Even with a properly glazed (heh) clay figure, it would be difficult to achieve the “oiled up skin” shading that Mrs Butterworth has, it looks like a nude photo shoot.

The shading and detail are nothing like a clay figure

Thanks!

no this is Halo

That’s why I will literally never support Nvidia. AMD isn’t perfect but at least they play nice with open source.

To me it reads: “Did you know? This level of halo has an elevator so part of it is above another part.” Yes, that’s what elevators do.

Yeah that’s basically it, just a very video game-y thing where environments can be radically different without the player noticing. It’s just the discrepancy between where the game says ground level is.

I opened it in blender to make a better comparison, the difference between the two ground levels is about 150 meters, and close enough that it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Which is fine but it’s just kinda fun to see, like one of the VFX things where if it is a good movie you don’t notice until someone points it out.

The elevators are the big vertical shafts. You start on the left area and take the leftmost elevator (the shaft connected to the gray exterior model, labeled A) down, then walk around that area until you get to the second shaft B. That shaft is the surprise one and brings you down to the lowest level. The third shaft, C, falls apart when you try to use it, and you escape via the fourth one, D, that connects to another gray exterior model and the second (lower) exterior section.

No it isn’t

What a terrible excuse to be against bodily autonomy

I would have been your daddy

All skulls on?

… But are they kissing? 👉🏻 👈🏻

By pure numbers, mine has got to be GTA San Andreas since I only had a PS2 for the longest time. I think that might be why I kinda hate games now? Buying a new game and you get maybe a couple dozen hours if you’re lucky kinda sucks. Oh it’s just a campaign of like 9 missions? And the missions are pretty linear? idk man, might be worth like $10 but definitely not fullprice $60 or even half off $30.

my grandma could beat the game if she saved as much as you
