It's for sure a product of its time, but it really doesn't feel like a 1999 movie. Around that time we had

  • Sixth sense
  • American beauty
  • Eyes wide shut
  • Being John Malkovich
  • Fight Club

Matrix has such a stark level of visual and thematic modernity compared to those. Maybe Fight Club comes near, but the other movies look like they're from a different decade.

I still can't believe The Matrix is from '99. The themes and the effects hold up incredibly well, it feels far more modern.

Wasn't he more criticizing the scale? Like, a sith warrior is great, but he can't really compete with the power of the Death Star when it comes to sheer scale. Just ask Alderaan.

Those are some sweet stories :)

Arguably it is better than mining for coal, lithium, etc. since those have similar issues, but one gram of uranium contains energy similar to 3 tons of coal.

Fairly so - it isn't emissions, and does not contribute to the problem in a meaningful way.

The reason why emissions are dangerous is because they trap solar heat at large enough scales to change the global climate. Server farm heating isn't really anywhere near contributing at that scale.

I found the lines poorly written, the narrators not very convincing, and the whole concept limited and simple. It's likely that something better comes along further into the game, but it really didn't pull me in.

It always fascinates me that people can have such different experiences. I'm really happy you found your perfect game, wish I could see it like you see it!

Ah yes, sorry, I've corrected my comment to micrograms.

You can eat it just fine, just don't eat it regularly for a long time.

An ounce of their Dark Chocolate has 134% of the California MADL dose of 0.5 micrograms of lead, for those wondering about details.
