It takes massive balls to blow your brains out. When you’re about to face the prospect of nonexistence, holding off each second longer is the easiest thing to do. It might be easy to pull the trigger once you’re starting to feel your lungs contract and have been under water for over 2 minutes, but until that point, you won’t squeeze the trigger. You don’t have the guts. But I do…
man i just know it would suck WAY more to drown but yeah i get it. I would have gotten fricking wasted and shot myself if i couldn't weasel my way off. >coward
yeah. i'm good man.
reminder this was a real guy and a national hero in scotland, they got so butthurt over his depiction in the film james cameron had to aplogize and build a statue for the dude
This guy literally went full speed ahead, at night, in an iceberg field all to collect a ribbon that ships get if they set a speed record for atlantic crossings.
Thousands dead for a ribbon
I feel like over the years there was a big movement of people trying to argue that Titanic wasn't good but it's still top tier Hollywood kino. Amazing production design, a likeable romance, enthralling action, what's bad about it?
From a technical standpoint, it is a masterpiece. But it's ruined by absolutely atrocious acting by the two leads and terrible dialogue by the screenwriter (you know who).
At first I thought the tourist sub guys just got unlucky but it turns out the CEO was a massive moron cheapskate and the logitech controller is far from the worst part. The window wasn't even rated for 1/3 the depth of the Titanic and he refused to pay for a more expensive one. He has also been on record talking about how he didn't want "old white guys" working on the project (excuse for using garage-engineer uni students who cost less). Passengers had to sign a waiver acknowledging the craft was purely "experimental" and had not been build to any regulatory standards. It's a miracle it survived its first two trips. Lot harder to feel sympathy with any of those morons now.

yeah that's not gonna save him in court
The Courts of Man will have their way only after Poseidon pops that little toy like a child's bubble and turns that entire crew into red soup for flagrantly insulting his sacred sea

Ok, this disaster is waiting to happen and you cant convince me otherwise
I was reading in hacker news that at one point they installed one of the motors the wrong way and didn't realize they had done it until already on the seafloor. The fix? Holding the controller sideways.

>and honestly a lot of it seems quite amateur hour. One of the steering motors was fitted backwards. When they discovered this, at the bottom of the ocean and a few hundred feet from Titanic, the solution they used was to hold the gamepad at right angles to compensate. That time they proceeded with the tour and made it back, but I can see how things could have gone a lot more wrong.

The passangers don't even have a direct view of the outside, they are getting the image through a camera and the feed is displaying on a shitty tv inside the sub lmao
No difference to sending out a tiny unmanned drone with a camera attached and looking at what's being filmed on a boat or on land
This gets funnier with every development. I unironically wonder if any of them have flipped out and tried to kill the guy in the submarine who designed it yet

>be a billionaire >don't have some super genius harvard scientist on staff 24/7 at your side to let you know when you're about to do something stupid and terminally dangerous like get in a goodwill tier submersible
Every dumb NEET on this website has already declared they wouldn't do the dive if they were PAID $250,000 to do it.
You don't need to be a super genius.
>gotta go down with my ship
uhhh frick that how about i'm gonna blow my brains out before i drown because i don't wanna frickin drown to death? jesus frick

Good. Frick James Cameron.
Yes, the old have a nice day right in the optical nerve psyop
wonder how many botched suicides have occurred because of hollywood
Covid gets another one.
Vax status?
every frickin captain has a gun.
Janie got a gun.
>gotta go down
I thought he was more a fingers guy
He tried to in the extended cut, it was a flare gun though
Why lie?
This guy literally went full speed ahead, at night, in an iceberg field all to collect a ribbon that ships get if they set a speed record for atlantic crossings.
Thousands dead for a ribbon
It was a different time
back when men gave a shit
POV hundreds of Irish are drowning
>Im gonna go down with my logitech controller
context?
look at the news anon
Just do the konami code for god mode and wait for rescuers.
…any decade now…
>DEATH!
>DEPTH!
>ram it
whats he smiling about?
>about 10 minutes before they were rescued:we have about an hour of oxygen left, who wants to go first?

he is up for the Davy Jones court now.

odds are they got instantly crushed into paste, but would love to know how exactly how they acted if it went differently
nah there was a window, but they'd have had to go one at a time
Is that windows fricking vista on the right side?
>if only you knew how bad things are
Yes. The submarine was controlled by a 2005 logitech controller with 3d printed joystick extenders.
it's linux mint
