Awkward.

I was watching a youtube video about all the mistakes proper channels make when discussing cellular biology and abiogenesis. Stuff that really irks me like where the presenter presents both established science and current guesses side by side as if all of it is verified and locked in. Or when the explanation is so simplified that you really aren't learning, you're just getting told a tale to believe.



But then in the last third of the video my alarm bells started to ring. It wasn't just pushing all the legit flaws these youtuber's make, it started to attack the scientists themselves. As if these flaws were their flaws and not SciShow or whatever's editing flaws.

And then it started to mock these scientists for coming up with the most elaborate theories because they already had a solution in mind. Like a detective being hellbent on proving a death was natural even though everything points to murder.

So it was attacking the theory of abiogenesis itself. Didn't directly state it in the video but looked at the channel and it was a Christian anti evolution one. Awkward.

PS5, confirmed.


And why oh why did Halo CE need a second remake? I get it, first halo on playstation, but come on.



Oh the livestream has them talking about changes to the gameplay. Actually reworking things. So that's not inspiring. They'll probably completely misunderstand what makes Halo great, once again, and butcher it.

in some ways it looks great.  but there are a ton of really awkward details.    should I assume it is because of overuse of AI or this this because its a remaster of a really old game?  the landscapes looked pretty good on their own but animations/movement were out-of-synch. 

like at 1:18 of the trailer the vehicle goes off the jump and gravel is thrown from the jump.  but at 1:22 the gravel is still being thrown everywhere like it wasn't because of the car but it's a "gravel fountain". 

i don't usually fret on this kind of stuff but there was soo many jarringly uncanny moments like that.
Haha that is a really funny detail with the gravel. I love seeing trash like that in trailers and complaining about it.

Definitely not an AI thing. But not a good sign. It's nitpicky but these are hundred million dollar games.

screenshots don't even begin to show the horrors.   so many things like:
- sees bus, goes up stairs and bus is now a train.
- looks down on the the empty street.  during the jump animation a dumpster appears.
- car driving sideways
