        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.

          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.

            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.

        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.

        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.

      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.

        Edit: Ah. She’s supposd to be an android.

        She’s supposed to be burned so I don’t have to see it , or so it picks a side in the uncanny valley on the side of “destroyed machine” instead of “this simulacra of a child is going to eat your soul through your eyes, DO NOT TRUST IT AND RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN OH GOD I’M GOING TO VOMIT”

        to paraphrase a northernlion bit that’s in my head constantly these days as I struggle with food

        this is a cognito hazard […] It never touches the executive function part of your brain whatsoever, it goes straight to the cerebellum and it freaks the fuck out and wants to flee.

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

    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?’"

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

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

    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.

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

      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.
