I always see the name Altman and think of the Founder of Unitology from Dead Space

Eric Clapton's looking pretty good.

not to mention palantir.

After Konami fired Kojima, we got to see what he could do without their shackles binding him. Turns out, it's the same convoluted shit as before...just without Snake.
FlintNorth44
Don't DV me just yet because I was going to add that Snake was replaced by a mediocre one-trick actor from a mediocre zombie franchise. Let the DV commence!
starwolf170
that smirk is giving major villain vibes

The founder of Unitilogy was als Altman

Funny they mention Kojima, as about a week ago he was super into AI. Then he recently backed off. (People are humorously speculating that/1

Don't forget the famous internet full of Algorithms, invented famously by Al Gore, who lost his election against Bush, Dick, and Colon.
TheMindEntropic
I learned recently he ditched David Hayter as the voice for Snake because he wanted a more mainstream American actor to be the voice.
And so I lost a lot of respect for Kojima after that.

Jeff Bezo's surveillance company is called Palantir after the evil orb from lotr. They're all dork ass losers.
bananabonanza3
Holy shit, they really are Kojima-esque names! Altman especially šš
PumpkinDriver5
It just means āOld man.ā
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
And then you got Palantir...
GiveYourBallsATug69
Straight out of Death Stranding with a name on the nose like that.

No, āaltā is German for āoldā
Not āalternativeā

I miss when Google wasn't evil, or at least worked hard to hid any evil it did.
Swiggy1957
This explains it. I'm using ChapGPT with a story I'm working on. I needed some working names that fit the characters. It came up with some good ones. So not I've got some strong names for main characters and pun names I created for other characters. While I named the MC Drake I cut that back from Draco. A human involved with a dragon. I used my anime watching to name the village idiot Baka. I also have a local lord who is an asshole. I just had trouble figuring out how to use Asshole as a name>>
Swiggy1957
>>> without it sounding like a Jewish religious ceremony, a shule. ChatGPT gave 5 versions, so now we have Lord Azzhul. It didn't catch that I named Azzhul's son Noble.
Daraanel
Anoos.

Shrek had Lord Fark-wad.
Swiggy1957
Wrong oriface. Azzhul works well.

They stopped saying do no evil decades ago, they were actively making military gear before then

InfocalypseRising
Honestly too subtle for Kojima. If he wrote an AI story the owner would be Computer Man and the company would be called Mega Brain or some shit
Klaustrix
He actually called it George Washington.

I mean, palantir is run by Karp so

I'm playing Death Stranding 2 right now, and a character literally turns to the camera to explain the hidden meaning in something's name. Peak Kojima.
InfocalypseRising
Is it any good? I found the first one to be more compelling than I expected but I wasn't really itching for a sequel
JustForMatureContent
Very good. Never played the first one, but I understand that itās DS1 cranked up to 11. One of the best games Iāve ever played. Less walking sim and more MGS with ghosts. Iām on the last chapter but canāt make myself beat it bc I donāt want it to be over.

My skepticism has peaked.
FreePalestineAndTheWorldFromIsrael
I don't understand the adoration this man gets for writing at a high school level. He's the king of Im14andthisisdeep
kwyjiboner
Because he also has brilliant game design ideas that are outside of the box. His writing works because of the medium, not because he's a particularly gifted writer.
AnOceanOfStars
Fanboys be famboying.
FreePalestineAndTheWorldFromIsrael
Its insane. If it was Zack Snyder writing this exact same slop people would be ridiculing him.

ā¦Except Gemini is actually ātwinsā, and itās Janus thatās the two-faced god, with one face looking into the future and one face looking to the past.

How many faces do twins have?
FractalShoggoth
Oh ho ho, looks like *someone* wasn't paying attention to the hidden optional two-hour-long codec call available during a second playthrough of the spin-off game on a short-lived console!
You fool. You utter maroon. If you had simply watched the sixteen hour YouTube Kojima lore dump, you could have ascertained the obvious facts of the matter.
bananabonanza3
Gemini in a horoscope sense is usually known as duplicitous and double dealing. So itās still correct; yours is just more technically correct.
tylerlarson
Gemini literally means "twins" in Latin (or sometimes "doubled"). Like, it's an actual word with its own definition and everything.
Duplicitous or two-faced in latin is "bifrons." It's a different word.
OP isn't so much "correct" as "close enough that you won't argue if you already understand."
EmanNiemThcin
Also Altman(n) is german and means "Oldman", the missing 'n' a common adaptation by those who settled in some anglosphere country.

Hugh Janus?
disqard
Using veracity to fight verisimilitude? How dare you! Get outta here with your facts, you factist!!1
TheBraveCompanions
Fun fact! Also the god of doorways, beginnings, and endings. In Latin a Ianitor was a gatekeeper and is where we get the term Janitor, related to their role looking over a building

One of the only games I know of that consumers had to fix...it only took like 15 years or something.
ShowMeBunnies
Is the other STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl? KOTOR? All Bethesda games?
Mercenarity
i think there were user patches pretty quick into its life? something about it keeps drawing people back. probably the ankaran sarcophagus manipulating people's brains. the game has an interesting rabbit hole history for sure. some people even got to play it before they received half-life 2 in the mail, and i think there was drama about that as well? too bad the sequel's development was a fiasco, too.
soliddreams
There were patches like months into the games life, it's just it took years to fully fix it
