Official Tomb Raider Fanpage ;) This is a space for documenting my hyperfixation over a fictional character. Expect dank Tomb Raider memes and content. I take a lot of photos of Lara Croft. I'm in the tomb raider ofp but opinions are my own.

If you put an F major in there (not normally in the key of G) then it becomes Free Bird!

That's enough. Give me the phone and let's go outside.

Friendly reminder that doomer AI will kill us all narratives actually benefit the AI companies by artificially inflating the perceived capability of AI. As it stands, AI is still little more than next token/pixel predictors.

I am proud of this trilogy of photos I took in Shadow.

I can't figure out if people on Tik Tok calling my Shadow of the Tomb Raider photos 'ai slop' is an insult or a compliment.

yeah i think we were pretty clear haha. at least for the length of time i've been in the community it was the most universally negative response i have ever seen.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
I am pleased to see that the society of raiders is turning out to be far more nuanced than an ancestral motivation directly handed to Lara Croft, but at the same time, I don't regret the community sending that nicely packaged reminder that we don't want that anymore haha.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
I'm actually not claiming it's in the game. It is equally unnecessary as a motivation for a fan club. However, it's worth mentioning that it's odd to invite 'everyone' by means of directly addressing someone with the name Croft and who has directly inherited the manor haha.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
Having your motivation directly handed to you by familial legacy is not the only alternative to "playing for sport". It feels like they not only refuse to avoid family involvement, but go out of their way to insert it, despite universal hatred from the fanbase. I just don't get it.

My dear hope is that Lara reacts to the letter exactly how I did.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
To be clear, I'm still rolling my eyes hardcore at any kind of motivation for lara tied to a family lineage. I'm just saying classifying it as goody two shoes virtue signaling against thievery might have been a bit premature of me haha.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
that is true. i admit to having read it quick and perhaps missed some of the finer nuance haha
120
Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
Yeah it's just the repetitiveness for me. Over and over again familial duty blah blah haha. And I'm fine with "truth seeker" because lara always loved mysteries but goddamn can we please stop broadcasting it and issuing repeated formal statements about how we're morally good and not thieves.
120
Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
I feel like if they've reached the point of annoying even me with this stuff then there really cannot be anyone left who is interested in ancestral callings and repeatedly emphasizing how we aren't thieves. It really does feel like putting D.A.R.E. into grand theft auto.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
Kinda wanna tell TE Croft to shove this letter up his ass. This does not instill in me a desire to achieve a higher purpose, but rather ignites in me the visceral angst of a teenager in need of rebellion. I'm starting to side with the "plunderers and grave robbers".

When I was in elementary school I used to recite "a damaged coil built inside the oxygen take sparked during a cryo stir and caused the explosion that crippled the odyssey" to all my friends in class for no reason.

i think the analogy is closer to having to stare at a black screen in a dark room for billions of years while waiting for 30 minutes of episode 2 haha

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Yeah seeing all that stuff is glorious but what I'm asking is if you want to float endlessly in space for billions of years with nothing but your thoughts in order to see these things. Is it worth tolerating the experience of endless solitary confinement.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
would you still agree to this if the sun has died, all earthly life has dissolved away and you are alone in a universe waiting (and hoping) that the universe's eventual heat death might give you sweet release (lest it leaves you floating in a void of nothingness for eternity haha)?

i prefer 'very lonely and single almost 40 year old man who has nothing better to do with his semi comfy tech salary' over 'rich' haha

Again, I firmly believe this is a case of "We weren't originally gonna evolve her to classic lara but we changed our minds but we also want her to still be survivor lara". I am very eager to see how Alix strikes this balance. Make me believe it. Make me feel it in my soul.

One more thing. I'm starting to feel more and more that physical books are the final frontier of owning one's own entertainment. When I open a physical book there is absolutely no way on this planet for a corporation to try and fuck with that experience in any way and I love that.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
Just as I was understanding the importance of physical media, it's being stripped away. More than ever I value entirely local experiences that can't be interrupted in any way via internet. To me, online experiences are just a way to advertise and enshittify. Shame on playstation.

it's alright, maybe he'll get another chance when TR 1 is remade again in 2039.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
bro probably thought the fact that they weren't going by boat or by plane would be enough

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
yeah but also rip carlos. 3rd chance at surviving TR 1 but still no bueno

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
The lore dump here is so goddamn juicy it had me drooling with pleasure over every damn word. We also get the canonical in universe origin of the TOMB RAIDER moniker. Just...excellent. Absolutely excellent. Good job Meagan Marie.

When it comes to music I don't think any era matches the classic era. Maybe Legend's main theme comes close. Shadow has Baptism of Fire which is pretty cool.

I've always been impartial on the topic of physical media. If Rockstar sees it most feasible to not release a physical version of GTA6 then so be it. But calling a code in a box a 'physical' release feels like a "fuck you" plus salt in the wound. As an aside, my impartiality is rapidly evaporating.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
yeah i literally skip it when this happens. like why do this. why not just go grab some high quality official shadow art haha

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
what i think is funny about it is that people in the gaming space do it in situations when just using a high quality screenshot from the game is super easy to do, but instead they use an obviously AI generated slop thumbnail that doesn't even look like the game their video is about.

"Your games on the big screen." I repeatedly feel like I am the only person in the world who knows you can plug a PC into your TV.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 19/06/2026
What I think is so funny about "for the girls, for the guys, for the gays" pissing people off is that she literally explicitly states that tomb raider is for dudes too and yet it somehow still invokes a "tomb raider was always for men and you can't take it from us" battle cry.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 18/06/2026
Yeah, I got out of grad school right before the AI boom but if I'd still been a TA when AI hit then I would simply have all graded work be in person. Homework for practice, in class tests for skill assessment. There's really no other option.

i think this is simply because the head model was designed by Kam Yu in Rise/Shadow and LoA so he's the guy who made the decision to keep the relevant scars on the part of the models he was in control of.
010
Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
I think it's fucking cool that they've kept this scar beneath her right eye ever since she got pistol whipped in the face by creepy Vlad on Yamatai. Thus far this is the highest/clearest shot of the scar on the LoA model that we've seen.

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
I just think this gameplay looks extremely fucking cool. It's this perfect balance between gritty desperation that we know from survivor era but now coated in a new classic inspired paint of competence, elegance, and control. I do buy her as evolved survivor lara y'all idk.

"The events of the Survivor series did occur and this is the same lara but we are finding her at at this point in her career." --Jeff Adams, experience director crystal dynamics. After all the accusations of delusion/cope/etc, "I told ya so" just does. not. cut it. 😅

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 11/06/2026
i play TR 3 on super easy mode and that means the remastered version where I can use the free cam to explore an entire level without having to constantly backtrack to find everything i missed haha

Synnyster Fusion @synnfusion.bsky.social · 11/06/2026
Why Shadow is important (despite its flaws): Post yamatai, lara has become the hunter who struggles with reckless OVER confidence leading to massive tragedy. This is a brilliant (and critical) developmental stepping stone between desperate newbie and calm/cool veteran.
