wait, i just realised that aragorn was in minas tirith during ecthelion’s last ruling years (and was kind of vip, tbh). and you know who was there too, during that time?
baby boromir.
frickin’ baby boromir.
so it seems obvious to me, that aragorn held little boromir in his arms at least once (and probably saw it when nannies changed his diapers).
Aragorn: *sees Boromir arrive in Rivendell* wait is that
Aragorn: it can’t be him. he is a baby
Aragorn: *mental arithmetic* ….oh fuck it is him isn’t it
It’s quite possible that Aragorn held Boromir at both his infancy and his death.
I hate that so many places will automatically convert :P into
like what is that. That’s not what I wanted to convey at all.

LG is the only company that gets it at all
Thank you for your service, LG. You alone understand. My apologies to anyone using your service who tries to sent this to anyone using any of the other services.
Oh man, OOF, but also Respect, that’s a huge ass decision to make but I think it’ll be great PR for them if they can make it better.
Props dudes 👍 best of luck
Guys, PLEASE don’t treat this as an admirable decision. What this change basically amounts to is a HUGE amount of overtime for the animators without any delays in the release schedule nor changes to the budget, it’s a decision HE can make bc it won’t personally affect him but it will affect the animators. Even worse, supporting this decision could send the message to other companies that we’ll support practices like this in the future.
It actually won’t. The actual animation is not changing, the model its being applied to is changing. Thats not what animators do, thats what artists and modellers do, the lions share of the work is theirs. Its not going to be zero work, because nothing ever is, but there are numerous professionals who responded to that tweet pointing out how its actually not a hugely difficult or undoable job for CGI, because they’re just going to apply the animation they already have to a new model and touch it up where they need to. We SHOULD support practices like this in future, we SHOULD support companies actually listening to their audiences and providing a better quality product/service as a result beforehand, not cocking it up and issuing an apology after. So lets not try and drag down this godsend of a change with phrases like “huge overtime” or imply its going to be ruinous to anyone (especially based on no evidence) because according to actual animators who work on films like this, that is simply not true.
Actually, there is nothing “pussy” about being scared of Minecraft, and the game actually offers a really good horror atmosphere. The idea that you are alone in an inherently hostile and alien world where there is nothing similar to you at all, is something that plenty of horror games uses.
All you need is some good horror music, which Minecraft offers with disk 13, and you have a good and scary game.
The idea that only blood and gore is needed for horror is a very basic idea of what horror is. The atmosphere is much more important to horror, and Minecraft actually has a great horror atmosphere.
You know what I am gonna add on to this.
Facts that make Minecraft scary
The villagers look nothing like you, yet the zombies do. What are the zombies, for they cannot be dead villagers? Scary
The Endermen being eldritch abominations that just travel around collecting blocks for some unknown purpose, becoming hostile should you look in their eyes. Scary
Literally having a hell that you can travel to, where you can harvest the souls of the dead in a convenient block form. Scary
Traveling too far until you reach the edge of the world where reality breaks down and nothing makes sense. Scary
The darkness being a source of creatures that serve no purpose but to do one thing and one thing only, and that is to kill. Scary
The idea that the only thing keeping you safe is light and that no matter where you are if it is dark they will get you. Scary
The idea that there is not a single living creature like you in the vastness of this world, and that you are ultimately alone. Scary.
@xiaodonnas@anarchy-in-new-vegas@yeahbumbleby Fine, seeing as you all want to read it, here it is. TBH I lied it is not really much of an essay, but more just me rambling on about Minecraft.
