    What the actual fuck why is 90% of Hollywood pedos: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg discus creating the character of Marion for Indiana Jones and the age gap when their relationship started(15/27)

    CW super gross

    G — Obviously it could be something semi-precious to her because her father gave it to her. We’ll assume that she did love the old coot.

    L — He goes off to his room for the night. He gets up; he’s going to steal it. In the interim the Germans have arrived. When he goes down to steal it, he winds up rescuing her. He stumbles into this heroic role. She could doubt his motivation from then on. “You didn’t come down there to save me.”

    G — We have to get them cemented into a very strong relationship. A bond.

    L — I like it if they already had a relationship at one point. Because then you don’t have to build it.

    G — I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.

    L — And he was forty-two.

    G — He hasn’t seen her in twelve years. Now she’s twenty-two. It’s a real strange relationship.

    S — She had better be older than twenty-two.

    G — He’s thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve.

    G — It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.

    S — And promiscuous. She came onto him.

    G — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it’s an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she’s sixteen or seventeen it’s not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he…

    S — She has pictures of him.

    G — There would be a picture on the mantle of her, her father, and him. She was madly in love with him at the time and he left her because obviously it wouldn’t work out. Now she’s twenty-five and she’s been living in Nepal since she was eighteen. It’s not only that they like each other, it’s a very bizarre thing, it puts a whole new perspective on this whole thing. It gives you lots of stuff to play off of between them. Maybe she still likes him. It’s something he’d rather forget about and not have come up again. This gives her a lot of ammunition to fight with.

    S — In a way, she could say, “You’ve made me this hard.”

    I’m an old hand at gaming, living among avatars and high scores.

    Lately, I’ve spotted invaders, ‘fake gamers’ polluting our sanctuary. They spout gaming lingo without understanding and claim to love games they’ve never played.

    It’s maddening, but I’m here to help. Let’s expose these impostors, not to gatekeep, but to protect our passionate community.

    Let’s keep it real, folks.

    Asking someone to rate their favorite Dark Souls games can determine if they are a fake gamer.

    Kingdom Hearts and Paper Mario fans are considered indicators of being a true gamer.

    Gamers love wearing unfunny shirts, which are a defining characteristic of gamers.

    Strategies to identify and deal with fake gamers include observing their gaming knowledge and skills, engaging in conversations about specific games, paying attention to inconsistencies, and seeking validation from experienced gamers or gaming communities.

    I’ve been exploring the concept of ‘Fake Gamers,’ and it’s intriguing to see how they’re identified, from a lack of genuine gaming knowledge to their choice in Dark Souls games. Recognizing signs isn’t always easy, especially when gaming jargon understanding is at play, but there are subtle giveaways. Insincere praises for Dark Souls 2, a game often critiqued by seasoned gamers, can be a red flag.

    Identifying imposters is challenging, especially if they’ve armed themselves with a superficial layer of gaming knowledge. They might know the latest games, but probe deeper, and you’ll find a void. Ask about classic titles or complex gaming mechanics, and their answers often betray a lack of depth.

    Often, fake gamers seek social validation, using gaming as a status symbol rather than a passion. They’re quick to flaunt their ‘achievements’ but are absent from in-depth discussions about game design or narrative nuances.

    True gaming isn’t about exclusivity; it’s about shared passion and camaraderie. Let’s foster a space that welcomes novices and veterans alike, a place where authenticity isn’t questioned but celebrated.
