Ayyy same. I may have seen them before somewhere, but the two are forever connected in my memories with this painting.

Is it bad that I know this work because it was repeatedly shown in Signalis? Probably, but I wish we could see the other versions that were lost.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't any connection. It definitely looks inspired, but what's the context in destiny? (I've never played it)
The op posted a lighter version in the comments, Check it out! It's pretty great.
Can I ask how you did the blue and white bottom left square? I really like the effect you made with it, and I kinda wish it was more present throughout the rest of the painting, because it feels like all the drips and paint textures tend towards the bottom (which may be your intention, I wouldn't know lmao) but it'd be kind of cool to more of that in the top half in more than just that red left-topmost rectangle. Basically what Im saying is I kind of like the texture interactions. (also after reading some of the comments here I realized the thickness of the medium shows more in the dark version than the light version, I'm guessing you painted the other shapes over a canvas you gave once over with the darker paint first?) That being said some of the color interactions are only visible in the lighter version so I can see why you posted the other one!
On one hand it's an amazing piece in both the dark and the light versions, on the other the bottom right side sort of loses something in the darker version. I feel like the minor difference adds something, even if it doesn't draw the eye as much as the top half.
I kinda wonder where the down-votes are coming from? It seems unrealistic to assume half of all currently using people will stop using facebook, youtube, and snapchat within 2 years. As much as I'd like to assume otherwise I feel like that's farfetched even with the study posted.
Facebook is one of the social media sites banned by the Chinese government. I'm not saying they don't use it anyway, but for what it's worth the last time I checked it was also banned.
"means more" isn't a factual statement, it's a value judgement and some people value being the best version of themselves more than they value leading a miserable existence because of their genetics. Environmental issues are also just that: results of the environment rather than innate expression of X or Y chromosomes. The point the OP post is making is that instead of focusing on economic policies, global warming, and wars, politicians are more focused on who decides they'd be happier as a man/woman/non binary person. It's a complete waste of time for everyone BUT doctors and researchers since we shouldn't be judging or limiting what people can do based on what genitals they were born with, and instead be focusing on how to fix massive, glaring, and disastrous issues such as the ones described in the post.
"the actual fascists don't matter" .......There's no way you just typed that in good faith.
As someone with insomnia problems that have been reoccurring throughout my life, that was a terrifying read thank you.
The lock-downs definitely aren't at fault for doordash and ubereats, they were there and gaining traction before covid was discovered.
