- 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
Well. She’s the Tomb RAIDER, not the Tomb Preserver.
Average br*tish archaeologist tbh
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.
It’s a good thing those torches are still burning after thousands of years, otherwise you would have needed a flashlight!
That’s the way it should be!
Oh, what’s that in the corner? A random Uzi mag and health pack. Cool.
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.
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.
“Everything that has ever occurred is science stuff.”
So, all that anal probing was, indeed, science? TIL
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.
Beyond Blue
The game is literally called “Tomb Raider”. What did you think raiding meant?
Indiana Jones actually claims to be an archeologist, he would be a better target.
I forgive Indie because he punches Nazis in their stupid face.
Doesn’t he also objectify women?
Like… Yeah?
But again… Punching Nazis.
And dated a minor
Same with Indiana Jones. Maybe he’s slightly less terrible about it than Lara Croft, but the fact that he cares only about that golden idol and not about the entire temple complex around it with apparently still active traps, makes him a terrible archaeologist.
They’re both very effective adventurers and tomb robbers, though. And at least Lara Croft doesn’t pretend to be any better than that.
Also: “It belongs to a museum”
Which museum, indie? I guess you are talking about the museum of the country where the artifact is from, right? RIGHT?!
Of course not. That big government warehouse with all the boxes. I’m sure “museum” is a nickname they use for it.
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.

I can assure you that I have enjoyed the games from end to end. That doesn’t change the fact that Lara would be a criminal wanted by interpol for destruction and theft of cultural patrimony.
Yes and Geordi and Scotty are terrible engineers. Jake Peralta is a bad detective. Leslie Knope is a bad civil servant.
I’d put $100 on the table to say there is a least one more archeologist in the world because of those games. One who was trained to do it right, and preserved a ton of valuable cultural artifacts. Inspired by games and media.
Also, let people enjoy things.
But the 99 keeps telling me how great he is!
- Spanking tits
Is this a job posting from the British Empire days?
but boobs
Boobs come and go, cultural patrimony is eternal.
