There's a documentary series about this titled Assassin's Creed.

The fuck do you mean, "was?"

Many also experience dysphoria specifically about their genitals, so it’s likely about more than just social gender constructs (probably also depends on the individual though), with at least some contributing factors already decided at birth.

I mean, ultimately everything that goes on in your mind has a neurological component of some sort. I suspect with this, for example, the brain is structured to run body template A, but is piloting body template B and is basically throwing an error. I see no reason not to change the body to match the brain, especially since modifying the brain quickly heads into major ethical concerns and philosophical weirdness. I mean, ultimately the brain is you and the body is just a meat mech.

They had all that free marketting from people assuming the third one would be the 720 and they ditched it in favor of calling it the Xbox One, which everyone was already using for the name of the first Xbox. Still baffled by that one.

Haven't watched the movie, but I do know the romance plot was lifted from the manga.

This is just for fraud. The corpse abuse sentencing is in August.

It's the maximum possible sentence. The court can't do more. Also, this is just the sentence for COVID aid fraud. Sentencing for the corpse abuse charges is scheduled for August.

Good fit for Dungeon World.

Quake, not Doom. Doom didn't use true 3D rendering and had almost no dynamic lighting.

What are the odds of this comment being a deliberate As Told By Ginger reference?

spoilerViolet starts a romantic relationship with, and is implied to eventually marry, Gilbert, her former commanding officer in the military who was also her father figure, Violet having been a war orphan that Gilbert took in when she was 10. Violet was a child soldier from the ages of 10 to 14, at which time the war ended. Gilbert had faked his death at the end of the war because he had developed romantic feelings for Violet. Gilbert is 11 years older than her. By the time of the movie, Violet is 18 and Gilbert is 29, but he was in love with her when he was 25 and she was 14, and probably before that. This is portrayed as a romantic and happy ending.

It also goes against the show's themes and messages about grief and moving on, but the above thing tends to overshadow that.

Violet Evergarden is an incredible show about grief. But wow, is the movie sketchy as all hell.

 

After having printed the previous version of my poster and discovering that the overall darkness made it difficult to see when framed (light reflects off the glass or plastic and the glare kills it) I have done a bunch of post processing in the hopes that it will turn out better.

 

Inspired by this recent thread.
