- 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.
Well I mean she’s British and rich, what do you expect?
At least her name is on point with Tomb Raider.
Congruent, at last.
cough
not the only thing that’s on point
quickly eyes the angular monoboob, then looks away
The game is literally called “Tomb Raider”. What did you think raiding meant?
Well. She’s the Tomb RAIDER, not the Tomb Preserver.
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.
Average br*tish archaeologist tbh
And the asterisk is for what reason, exactly?
Maybe they’re fr*nch
I don’t like saying it, it’s gross
Offensive to half the nations on Earth and all of the ones next to them
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.
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.
he did actually earn his own money,
How?
If you look at the article about him it looks like he was actually pretty savy at business and was able to make enough money to retire at 36. In contrast, the muskrat was born with an emerald spoon in his mouth. So, both are idiots, but between the two muskrat is worse.
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.
In the latest game she triggers a massive flood that destroys an entire village, possibly killing hundreds of people, IN THE TUTORIAL STAGE!
Oh boy, crimes against humanity must be added to the list.

Boobs come and go, cultural patrimony is eternal.
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 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!
Oh, what’s that in the corner? A random Uzi mag and health pack. Cool.
That’s the way it should be!
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.
You are missing the Grant DLC, that puts the fun in funding.
Kerbal Space Program
Seems more like engineers than scientists (strictly speaking).
Engineering is science.
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.
“Everything that has ever occurred is science stuff.”
So when the first of the new remakes was coming out, they had a special outfit you could unlock if you preordered that was more like the original short-shorts and tank top outfit with the ad for it having that and a more sensible outfit side by side, being like
“What would YOU wear in the jungle?”
And I was like… Gimme the outfit that covers her up. There are bugs and toxic plants and it’s sunny and shit… She needs protection, not traipsing around practically naked!
Wearing those shorts in the jungle in real life wouldn’t be very sexy with legs all full of mosquito bites and wounds from climbing, fighting tigers and the stunts Lara does.
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.
