Brother, you had me at Christopher Nolan!! Now there is a worthy challenger to James Camerons greatness (but for the love of God, I NEVER said that!! He’ll terrorise me in partychat forever, more than he already does!!)
And yes, while I haven’t read it myself I hear it is quite the read! If I can just escape my current fixation on The Horus Heresy novels then I will make sure I go back to the literary greats!
Greek mythology has great stories. From how the universe came to be to wars, love, curses etc.
King Midas is a great example on how greed and wealth can be a curse.
Short story.
A certain Greek God couldn’t find his child, so he asked great King Midas for help.
The King sent his soldiers and they found the child. Midas treated that child like it’s his own.
Then God, in order to show gratitude, he said to Midas, “I will grant you whatever you desire”
Midas, being the great king, he said “I want a certain gift”. “Everything I touch shall turn into gold”.
His wish was granted and everything he touched turned to gold. Later he realized that he couldn’t eat on his own, because of his gift, so he had servants feeding him.
After some time, his only daughter came back from the trip. Ecstatic to see his father after a long time, she rushed into her father’s arms and Midas not thinking, he hugged his only daughter, just to watch her turn to gold.
Devastated, he asked the God to take away his gift, because he lost the only thing that had value, his daughter.
Sounds like @James-Cameron He said something similar to me once…wait, I think he was talking about me bearing his first born child or something…ignore everything I just said!!
I am vaguely aware of the story of King Midas (The Midas Touch, if people are confused). It sounds amazing!! I love mythology, my tisms really get tinglisms when learning cool historical stuff. I think it is why I love Warhammer Fantasy/40K so much!! There’s plenty for me to occupy myself with; painting armies, reading rules, reading lore, writing lore…
Reminices about the time MassImpact was just a wee little lass, and loved her Daddy…starts to cry…
Ah yes, I remember that!! Great story!! I must’ve heard it in school or maybe even Sunday Church (yes, I went to church!! Go ahead, laugh!! But you won’t be laughing when you see me behind those gates…bars…depends on how you look at it!).
Some people just need to ask me, and I am more than happy to explain my story. But for now, here’s my boy Yelawolf with a little of his. And it’s scary when sometimes you hear a song and you can be like “Holy shit! Me too!!” Try being a hip-hop loving white kid in a racist village, try having Jamaican best friends and being told some of the most abhorrent evil shit by people who are supposed to be your peers…
Like Hood said, we all have a tough time in life but in that darkness there are little points of light. And they are the kind souls that have led me to greatness, movie like moments, and protected me from the worst sides of the streets…
This one is for my brother from another mother! Irish-Jamaicans are the best!!
Also also also, super edit: If you go to Kojima Productions website, to the Year Round Photomode Contest page you will find I have had several of my Virtual Photographs awarded “Honorary Mentions”. Virtual Photography is something a friend from Death Stranding pointed me towards. when I was sperging out on their Discord!! And I love it!! I’ve studied actual old skool Photography when I was taking a BTEC Graphic Design waaaaaay back in 1994 when I had my gorgeous red Vauxhall Cavalier!!
I have GB’s of shit that I have created, I just don’t think people on here would get a lot of it is all. But my X account has my entire journey in Virtual Photography, and everyone is welcome to follow me there and share their own creative talents as I love seeing/meeting fellow auteurs!!
