I've always thought it was the back. But logically then we would be looking down at him. Since we cant see the city, only the sky, we have to be looking up at him.

Also.. Does Batman wear high heels here?! He's a ninja, they should know better than anyone that flat, thin soles are quieter.

I don't do well with lying. Because of childhood trauma. I am an open book. Even online. A boring open book though.

But I am sometimes a bit confused. Might say stuff I later realize I should have done a second thinking about. But I don't call it misrepresentation when I believed it myself, even if I later realize my mistake.

Half tempted to love any gamedev company that promises to keep making singleplayer games, that can be played offline, without microtransactions and battlepasses. It would take more than a few botched game launches to make me give up on them.

Arkane Studios, for Dishonored, Prey, Dark Messiah, Deathloop.

Used to be Looking Glass Studios. And then Ion Storm. Do you see a pattern?

Maybe the reason we love new and old book smells is that we've been conditioned to think of the excitement of experiencing a new story?

Veidt asked the precognitive being if his plans for utopia would come to be, and if it was all worth it in the end. Osterman cryptically responded by saying "Nothing ever ends", and teleported away leaving Veidt once again in doubt as to whether or not his plan was successful.

From what I understood, he spent the whole story acting super-sure about what would happen if he did nothing, and how he alone could fix it. But in the end of the comic, this showed he had doubts. Veidt didnt have precognition, just very good prediction. But also an over-inflated ego. He killed a lot of people for a "maybe".

I cant see Ozymandias as a good guy. At all. None of the "heroes" are, but Oz was the worst of them.

Jup, useless folder. There's one related thing I've complained a lot about lately, so I'm gonna complain some more about it:

Microsoft got this "great" idea of trying to repeatedly trick me into uploading that Documents folder to the cloud. A folder filled with GBytes of Battlefield and Assassins Creed cache files, Starfield mods, MS database files, etc... A lot of files that are in constant change, or locked the entire session. Annoying as hell. I love Onedrive, but I dont know why its so damn important for them to have those files.

Sometimes I really wish I could switch to some Linux distro instead.

I believe MOST people have such a strong need to follow something that they will ignore or invent justification for the morality of it. And I dont think one can learn that, rather one has to learn NOT to follow. But I'm no psychiatrist.

Damn I've always wanted Windows to have that. Being able to put user folders on another partition, or even another drive, at install time. And being able to use "dynamic disk" (aka software raid) to expand partitions across disks as storage requirements grow. I know it is possible to setup, but with a lot of workarounds and annoying problems.

I dont think theres so few. A lot of people have a need to be led. And if it isnt religion and gods it is something else. Like "leaders". Like the golden(-ish) cow the US' republicans are worshiping.

So then our music preference is us chasing a specific feeling? Filling somethings that are missing, maybe? A good beat could be a wish for more order. Calming music for easily stressed people. Growling metal for people who need to voice out anger.
