what the fuck is that image?

Seems like you're secretly telling us this meme is a hit & you want much more of it.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

just fucking use a picture of a lotus pod or a frame from explicit torture gore instead, it would be less distressing

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Ooh, got it.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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'".

It makes me want to vomit.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

She's also an android. Looking slightly off may well be intentional.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 week ago

Counteroffer: ban yourself?

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.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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.

One of Donald Trumps ex girlfriends?

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Was until a few months ago. There's a reason he didn't publicly sig heil 20 years ago.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

He hadn't found ketamine 20 years ago.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A few months ago? Wasn’t that during the election? Maybe I can’t remember, it’s all so much crazy.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Apparently the silly part is that they're seen as a villain.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 points 1 week ago

You mean as long as he bribes them and tries to rig elections in their favor.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

It’s that they were stopped.

[–] Tetragrade@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago

The silly part is that an intelligence service is trying to stop him.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It actually seems like today's right wingers literally want to be the villains from all the classic stories.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] doleo@lemmy.one 13 points 1 week ago

That is silly. Why would a billionaire feel the need to keep their Nazism secret?

[–] BuckenBerry@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

So Elon isn't even Justin Hammer. He's a poorly plagiarized Bond villain who aspires to Justin Hammer.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not the only reason:

Casino Royale:

"‘First of all,’ and he inhaled a thick lungful of Caporal, ‘you will be pleased with your Number Two. She is very beautiful’ (Bond frowned), ‘very beautiful indeed.’ Satisfied with Bond’s reaction, Mathis continued: ‘She has black hair, blue eyes, and splendid … er … protuberances. Back and front,’ he added. ‘And she is a wireless expert which, though sexually less interesting, makes her a perfect employee of Radio Stentor and assistant to myself in my capacity as wireless salesman for this rich summer season down here.’ He grinned. ‘We are both staying in the hotel and my assistant will thus be on hand in case your new radio breaks down. All new machines, even French ones, are apt to have teething troubles in the first day or two. And occasionally at night,’ he added with an exaggerated wink.

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?’"

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

[–] Klear@quokk.au 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, the same novel has Bond challenging the villain to a very high stakes game of....contract bridge. Just saying...

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

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.
