I'm sorry, I just really like it lol. Can't stand RE6 though, as in, I hate it with a passion.

Personally I was hoping the reviews would surprise people. Was thinking it might get in the 80s but it seems like bugs, pop in, repetition and being too long really boggled it down. At least from the range of scores it seems like there is some fun to be had here and depending on how much those issues bug you your enjoyment mileage may vary. Still excited to play this thing tomorrow, was just hoping the final product would have been a bit better. Glad they took a couple extra months to polish, hate to think how it was running a few months back.

@e_zed_eh_intern Dem exclusives mane. No seriously. Trash like Sea of Theives sold 2 million in it's launched week and topped the NPDs for that month. Mind you it completely dropped off the list after that, but being "the big exclusive" for a console really does help. I can see Days Gone, despite being pretty generic shit, selling 7 milly no sweat.

You know what, I'm going to give it a go! =) I've been very stuck in my ways for a long time, maybe it's worth me branching out a bit and approaching games a bit differently. I still don't like the viral videos as I find them quite intimidating, I saw Silent Hill 2 created in Dreams promoted today on my watch list, but that actually puts me off more than it does entice me.

Finally found my first silver coin! A 1954 dime. What a rush!

A couple of notes: First a release - SteamWorld Quest released on Switch today, finishing at 31st overall desired, having two desires (5th and 14th highest), and so stricken from the Master Index The other, a change: While it might be a bit of a lowball move to drop a game on the index the day before it comes out, I'm striking Days Gone from my PERSONAL list, thus lowering its overall spot from 10th overall to 20th. While that is where it'll most likely finish (unless the other four who put it on their lists wants to update. If so, let me know), I'm doing so because I'm disappointed that four trusted sources all have said the same thing. I'm disappointed, but at least I'll save $60. Also keep in mind because I'm changing my list by dropping a game, everything else moves up and potentially changing the order. Oh Days Gone. What could've been...

*Then there’s the question of how Tate’s surviving loved ones might react to all of this. When Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was first announced, Debra Tate, Sharon Tate’s sister, expressed outrage. She was particularly disgusted that Sony originally planned to release the movie on August 9, which would coincide with the 50th anniversary of Sharon Tate’s murder. The release date was later changed July 26, 2019, and Debra Tate agreed to sit down with Tarantino and read the script. After this meeting, Tate changed her opinion of the film. The news of the Tate/Tarantino meeting came via TMZ, with their article stating: Debra says she voiced her concerns and he heard her out, then explained the movie’s plot … which made her feel much better. She says she now believes Tarantino has honorable intentions … “This movie is not what people would expect it to be when you combine the Tarantino and Manson names.”* -Chris Evangelista on SlashFilm

@capnbobamous @tokeeffe9 I just read the Twitter thread about NRS. As somebody who at one point was out of graduation and not knowing any better, I worked under a toxic producer who acted like my boss. I know it feels like shit to work for low-wage so you can "pay dues" to get your foot in the door. I was barely surviving at the time. But that's only pertaining to the wage and work side of things. NOBODY should go through the power dynamics and gender discrimination, etc, etc, that they list off. In hindsight, that paid off for me but I'd never allow myself to be treated that way again. I do want to believe their anecdote but at this point it is only hearsay. Some of the things they mention seem unfortunately standard in the industry (i.e. poaching grads, not paying them). In the Canadian animation world, we have to pay our interns and usually the pay isn't that bad. Too bad video games in Illinois isn't the same. Other things like having to pay for the game at full price sounds like my experience in TV. I never got a free season of the show we made. The network/client never did that for us. I don't know anybody else who gets that either. Obviously, different country and different industry. Time will tell where this story goes but unionization was the hot topic at GDC this year and it sounds like the AAA machine might be in for a rude awakening if they don't straighten this stuff out. At the very very least, all Men, Women, They/Them, Green/Puruple/Blue people all need to get paid the same (livable wage based on geography) if they are doing mostly equal work. I know different people are better/worse at negotiating salary but if you are all temp workers doing the same job, then men shouldn't get $1 extra for no reason. But again, its hearsay at this point. Makes me upset.

@el-shmiablo said in Censorship topic (out of the news thread): @sheria Certainly. This is fromthe film study Men Talk and Women Show Skin "female characters were more likely to wear sexy, provocative clothing than males (26% vs. 5%) or to appear partially naked (24% vs. 8%). 29% of teen girls were called attractive by another person in the movie vs. 18% of women ages 21 to 39 and 8% of women 40 to 64. The study also found that 29% of teen girls were called attractive by another person in the movie vs. 18% of women ages 21 to 39 and 8% of women 40 to 64. Marc Choueiti, the project administrator, commented that this sends a message to teen girls that they are "eye candy": "the data speaks to an overemphasis on beauty, thinness and sexualization of women at younger and younger ages." This is further compounded by the fact that there is a gross deficit of females in prominent roles in general. My apologies, I shouldn't have said "out of whack", because it wasn't your point I wanted proof on. I'm happy to concede that there's an imbalance when it comes to that sort of thing because there's a genuine, biological difference in the genders when it comes to desiring that sort of content. Porn magazines for women never took off because there's just not a viable market for making money there. I was interested in proof that all of this censored content had a direct correlation to the inappropriate treatment of women. There's a large difference in natural urges when it comes to men and women, it's seen in just about everything. The material that gets made is simply catering for that difference, it's not a chicken and egg situation here.

Watched Alien on UHD yesterday night, which was released the day before. I thought it looked great, color-wise and detail-wise. Light grain. Didn't look DNR'd to me. No color banding at all. The screenshot comparisons are kind of worthless. A couple of people on the Blu-ray.com forums complained that the giant pilot no longer looks tanned, but I could easily see the color difference between him and his surroundings. The movie isn't as warm, but it's not dull looking either. It has a more realistic range of color and is bright where brightness is due (not excessively so). The director's cut is upscaled and not properly mastered for HDR, which some people are pretty disappointed over, but I don't care for that cut. One time was enough for me. Scott cut about as much as he added. The humanoid alien's reveal (the scene where Brett is abducted) sucks in the DC because the creature is so clearly visible on the ceiling before the abduction. The cocoon scene is even more worthless and misplaced than I remember. Lambert asks in the theatrical cut if it's possible that Brett is still alive, if the creature wants him alive. Ripley says, "No. I mean, I don't think so." That line is too purposeful. This combined with Parker saying that they didn't find anything left of Dallas, not even blood, and the way we saw the facehugger reproducing with Kane earlier pretty much tells you the alien is doing something horrible with Brett and Dallas. Not knowing what is part of the horror, I guess. It didn't need to be shown. Everyone including Weaver assumed people understood that it was using them before the cocoon scene was ever made public. She said in a 1984 interview, "Because the Alien isn't evil. It's just following its natural instincts to reproduce through whatever living things are around it." https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2014/10/31/interview-with-sigourney-weaver/ Also, that self-destruct countdown had so much tension and looked and sounded great. Why would I wanna see that broken up by this random scene?

@dmcmaster yeah I’m finding it really janky. I’m sure once I get into training and learn a bit more it’ll all come together, but it’s not as intuitive. Also noticed fatalities and brutalities don’t unlock once you do them, must have to unlock them from the krypt regardless now.

Ya, I get that. United are such a mess of a team. Crazy that they can actually still get top 4. For Liverpool, I'd just be focused on Champions League now, I just don't see City dropping points anywhere.

yeah, it's definitely easy to pretend everything on the internet will be around forever. My home town that I grew up as a child has been redeveloped so going back there is always a disappointment. I was hoping that at least the things that i enjoyed as child on computer screens would be always around but i guess that too can be very disappointing :(

@brandon_reister I think that unfortunately is a part of any online community but it just felt much more rampant and inflammatory there. Plus, there was a lot of negativity directed at the Allies themselves, which felt strange to deal with in a fan group. Bad vibrations. I do hope things grow at least a little here but I'm not sure if it'll happen sadly. Ah well, gotta appreciate what we have instead of looking at greener pastures I suppose.

I think this is the same deal as those mario party ones they did a while ago, I hope so at least because I hate limited time crap like this as well. Getting Spirits is a pain in the ass, I've still got two I'm missing this far out just because they never show up on the spirit board for me.

Oh fuck. Tearaway was 2013? BRB drastically altering my list.

@sabotagethetruth could not tell you how many times I have watched the first 4 seasons of Archer.
