Volourn Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Not the same building. That is some circular idiotic pathetic magical bull**** thinking. That is like having a kid. Them dying. Having a new kid that looks similar and built basically the same way (lol) so then claiming ity is the same kid. LMFAO People are idiots. More 'famous' buildings should be destroyed. It is basically treating them like gods. EVIL. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is basically treating them like gods. EVIL. It's a variation of the Ship of Theseus philosophical thought experiment, with the main difference being that the ship was never rebuilt completely from scratch, whether with parts of the original or not. Your conclusion of 'that's bull****' is just as valid as any other. The Gold Pavillion mentioned is also listed as one example of that philosophy in non-fiction books.

Looks like wheat's back on the menu boys! Course I can eat gluten just fine, but I certainly enjoy the ease of ****s when sticking to fiber and rice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agiel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Don't know where to put this so I'll put it here. In the ever increasing effort of game realism, face scanning models is the way they do it now. But a lot of the time they hardly change the face at all. It's not like a Disney character looking a tad like you in a kind of abstract way. I wonder how it feels to see one's face in a game, on ads, on coffee mugs, have fans talking about your beautiful face/hot character etc. I don't think I'd want that job, too weird. I think one of XV's Kingsglaive movie models complained about that on twitter once. Anyway, like many I made jokey fun of V in DMC5 being so much like Kylo Ren's actor. But after seeing the actual face-scan model (link), I can't do that anymore. It's uncanny, and strange to think "V" is running around the real world. I mean it's kind of interesting tech-wise, sure, but I think I like it better when they spend more time creating a look vs. just outright scanning and copying someone's existing face....maybe it's just me. https://youtu.be/HrYkubuteoo?t=22 Edited April 30, 2019 by LadyCrimson ..can't get used to the idea links don't auto turn into clickable links “Things are as they are.
