- She spends her time robbing tombs.
- She destroys the tombs and sanctuaries She visits.
- She shoots species that are probably in danger of extinction.
- She finds dinosaurs still alive and what does She do? Shoot them to death while continuing to destroy tombs.
At least her name is on point with Tomb Raider.
Congruent, at last.
Lara Croft, Tomb Coddler
cough
not the only thing that’s on point
quickly eyes the angular monoboob, then looks away
Well. She’s the Tomb RAIDER, not the Tomb Preserver.
I love when I’m surrounded by treasures in an ancient temple no human has laid eyes on in thousands of years, so I take a look at a scroll then immediately leave.
That’s the way it should be!
Oh, what’s that in the corner? A random Uzi mag and health pack. Cool.
Average br*tish archaeologist tbh
And the asterisk is for what reason, exactly?
I don’t like saying it, it’s gross
But you did say it. Everyone knows what the word is. You went out of your way for literally no reason, to accomplish nothing but making people wonder why you did such a pointless thing.
my head canon:
Brih-ish.
British.
Br*tish.
‘*’ thus indicates the ‘ih’ sound, and nullification of the next immediately following consonant.
Put mercenaries on the list. They get hired to guard some excavation. A chill job the recruiter told them.
Lara overhears them talk about going home to their families as she sneaks up and brutally murders them with her ice axe one by one until the ruins are flooded with blood. It’s all self defense.
Damn you’re right! Is like that recurring joke in the Austin Powers Movies.
Original Lara was a Tomb Raider.
New Lara is a fucking psychopathic Rambo with daddy issues.
In case ya’ll don’t know about Heinrich Schliemann…
Now you do.
He fucking dynamited what quite likely is the actual location of ancient Troy…in the early days, the field of archaelogy had a number of basically wealthy idiot assholes who fancied themselves as ‘great men’, who went around doing nonsense like this, and of course just actually stealing the artefacts and taking them back to museums in their home countries.
Schliemann obliterated the potential Troy site so thoroughly that archaeologists spent over 100 years looking at other potential sites… only to largely (not entirely, but largely) come to the conclusion that Schiemann’s Troy site probably is the actual correct site…
… But he fucking blew it up.
A historical example of an idiot with too much money and unwarranted self confidence.
Yup, this douche looks like the Musk of his dayExcept unlike Musk, he did actually earn his own money, not just inherit from his daddy before purchasing companies to try and take credit for their innovation.
Are there any games that accurately depict the activities of any kind of scientist?
I’m not sure there’s a market for a “Pipette Cry Repeat” based video game.
Kerbal Space Program
That’s engineering, not science. There is no science gameplay, you just have science points that you spend.
The implementation of engineering is science. In this case it involves physics, materials, structural, and a bunch of others science disciplines.
It isn’t research discovering new things, sure. Not that kind of science.
Sure, I don’t disagree with what you said. Some will say Applied Science is a category of science, others will say it’s distinct from capital “S” Science. I don’t really care either way, the distinction I was making was: Science is a process of developing knowledge that explains the natural/observable universe, including the humans/societies within it, i.e. a way of understanding what is. Engineering is the application of scientific knowledge, principles, and methods of inquiry in the construction and development of technology–it does not seek to explain things about the world.
Seems more like engineers than scientists (strictly speaking).
Engineering is science.
Scientists construct models from reality; engineers construct reality from models.
That would imply game dev is a science.
I dont think scientist simulator would be a very popular game. Its be mostly trying cope with the mental anguish of rejection over papers and grants being published.
Surgeon Simulator! It’s a the best training program for today’s surgeon in a rush
I guess there was Foldit 😅
Chants of Senaar?
Heaven’s Vault.
The game is literally called “Tomb Raider”. What did you think raiding meant?
Lara Croft is basically a female Indiana Jones. Replace the whip with two pistols and the hat with triangular boobs.
And Nathan Drake is male Lara, which is kinda funny to think about.
Is this a job posting from the British Empire days?
