  • Friendly reminder that the tiny team behind Among Us is going to be revealing something at the Game Awards next week.

  • So The Game Awards have announced Brie Larson will be one of the presenters for next week's show:

    I have to laugh at some of these responses, it's priceless just how offended "gamers", or anyone that consumes entertainment can get over something. Make a narrative decision that someone doesn't like, you are automatically bad at your job, or "woke", make a BLM tribute in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, you're told to keep "politics" out of gaming, your game is full of Glitches, and Devs are "lazy" I swear to God the attitudes of some actually make me ashamed to identify as someone that consumes entertainment, way too much time is spent chatting dog shit about a writer, a designer, an actor or a director that just wouldn't be said to their faces :joy:

    It's a great laugh though, when you see how trivial subjects are taken like a dagger to the heart. Some people on here honestly crack me up at the offense that's displayed over things in entertainment, I get you wish to be entertained, and some things may not do that for you, happens to me, happens to everyone, but it's rather dangerous and a bit mental that if something doesn't go how people would like, the reaction is to abuse or be volatile. Like I have consumed stuff that had parts I wasn't thrilled about, but I didn't go to any extremes, and I'm a very emotionally outward person :joy: it's not that hard to do, it shouldn't be.

  • "Spacewar" could be a generic name for something else. The dates go back to 2017 before Telltale shut down, so it may be something they were originally expecting that version of Telltale to publish, and they just haven't bothered to update it since then.

    I'm just making stuff up. I don't really know.

    I want Brie Larson to announce the GOTY for the double wombo combo ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    Also Gal Gadot will also be making an appearance as a presenter, so they'll probably be showing off another WW84 trailer. As for Brie Larson I assume she might be doing something for Nintendo (since she recently collaborated with them for a commercial) or potentially the Avengers game.

    Also I agree with pretty much everything you said lol.

  • Yeah I saw that tweet for Gal Gadot, no disrespect but I don't really know her, when it comes to film's I have been living under a rock.

    Imagine the reaction if Brie announced The Last of Us Part II as GOTY, I think I'd collapse a lung from the laugh I'll have when reading the comments on it. People said that it's Golden Joystick awards were a result of paying off those involved, that was a rib tickler to say the least.

    I done a bit of digging and apparently she's disliked for "being against white men" but really she wanted more people from diverse backgrounds to come forward and take part in the entertainment industry. Then there's people not liking Captain Marvel and just don't like her.

  • I'm not a big Metal Gear fan but I'm sure there's some of you guys that'd be interested in this, Oscar Isaac will play Solid Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid film:

  • Nah the whole thing is essentially that she used the presstour for captain marvel to promote her own beliefs and opinions etc instead of the film.

    I didn't pay much attention to that but that was what the original outrage was about. And then videos spread about how stuck up she is towards her colleagues (theres one special interview with her, don cheadle and chris hemsworth where their whole auras just screams that they don't really like her. Its a really awkward interview).

    That being said the only thing I really saw was said interview and some other things and it did rub me the wrong way for sure. I'm no fan of her but I still enjoyed her performance and captain marvel in general, so I'm not gonna be out there on the frontlines calling for Brie to get off the game awards.

    Yeah I saw that tweet for Gal Gadot, no disrespect but I don't really know her, when it comes to film's I have been living under a rock.

  • Alright I'll have to look into all that, most of what I read from responses to TGA's tweet was that, according to those who actually had a problem with her, that she had some spite against white men interviewing her, so I looked up that specific story and came across what I shared in my comment, looking back I probably should've widened my field of view to see what else there was, but thanks for letting me know.

    In one hand, she is there to promote Captain Marvel, but she is still her own person, she should be able to convey what she thinks, not that you think otherwise, but more so what I have seen from across different forms of social media, is that celebrities are often frowned upon for expressing their opinion, they are looked at as mere shells that act and perform, and can't use their platform to express a message.

    If she's stuck up to colleagues, then that isn't right, that shouldn't happen, but in all honesty, that should be something that is settled amongst those three, like we have a fascination with what these celebrities do and behave like, but we can't accept when they use their platform to spread a positive message, otherwise that's "virtue signalling". Brie may look back at her behaviour with them down the line and regret it, she may already regret it, it just may be her personality that makes her difficult to work with, it doesn't necessarily make her the bad person that these peeps make her out to be. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, as I don't know her personally, I can only take guesses as to what she's like in person.

    Nah the whole thing is essentially that she used the presstour for captain marvel to promote her own beliefs and opinions etc instead of the film.

    Many of the other Avengers actors and actresses have done the same thing, I don't see why she shouldn't be able to. By the end of the day it's not like her belief of wanting more diversity in the film industry is particularly harmful.

    And then videos spread about how stuck up she is towards her colleagues (theres one special interview with her, don cheadle and chris hemsworth where their whole auras just screams that they don't really like her. Its a really awkward interview).

    Now this is absolute crazy talk. I remember hearing about this and it was just some quack "psychologist" and YouTubers overanalysing interviews.

    Yeah, I don't know where I heard this, but I'm sure I saw someone comment on this controversy somewhere round the internet, offering more context and proof that this take is misinformation spread around without context.

    They aren't annoyed at her (I think), and if they are, I don't think I've seen any proof that they dislike her or she's a pain to work with.

    So, it's been a while since I've seen this stuff pop up, but last time I saw someone talk about it, someone made a very good case for Brie Larson that has escaped my mind at the moment... But she's fine I think.

    Awww yeahhh~

    The game's not perfect, the pacing is pretty annoying near the middle, but it's a classic horror Remedy tale.

    You also reminded me that I bought a month of Discord Nitro in early November. It comes with a free 3 months of Xbox Game Pass PC, so I should probably redeem that before it runs out...

  • I found out that a bunch of people on TikTok got together and composed a number of songs for a theoretical Ratatouille musical.

    It's really good lol

  • So I downloaded Five Nights at Freddy's through Game Pass and kinda flew through the entire game, getting achievements left, right and centre.

    Then I got to the custom night, and there's an achievement for surviving the night with all AI difficulty ramped up to 20/20 (highest difficulty), so me being hungry for the achievement, of course I tried it... Freddy and his crew don't mess around at all, as soon as the night starts, they want you dead, and fast, and they got their wish in each of my three attempts at the custom night.

    I looked at a guide for it and plenty of people used a glitch that has since been patched, where the game was tricked into thinking a door was closed and the animatronics couldn't get in, despite the door visibly being open. I don't know how I'll do it, but I'll get that achievement whether the game likes it or not :joy:

  • Okay, to get off this completely overblown, tired, and waste of time argument over Brie Larson and some YouTubers some people disagree with, let's try and get back to some normal conversations.

    Hey, did you know that there's a section of the US where you can technically commit murder and not be tried for it. If you were to kill someone in a 50 square mile section of Yellowstone National Park located in Idaho, due to it being uninhabited section of the state, you would not be able to have a jury of your own peers, a violation of the 6th Amendment to the US Constitution. Meaning any trial that would be had would be seen as unfair, and thus, you'd get away with murder. So, long story short, who wants to take a trip to Idaho with me?

  • edited December 2020

    To be honest the Brie Larson thing was done with on December 5th, posts after that was just having a laugh at YouTube personalities that would take a problem with the Brie announcement, Menofthe214 brought that up. There wasn't really much of an argument over it either, I didn't get the full picture, captainivy provided, and lupinb0y, AChicken gave further details, after that it was pretty much dead and buried.

    I don't think our conversation itself was overblown, we had a good laugh at it so I think that's what counts, we have to have a laugh at some of the "outrage" that could come from this announcement.

    I have to commend the man for his entertaining approach to social media, continues to have fun and make a laugh of the backlash he received, and the offense it has caused to those who read it and made colossal assumptions in the replies.
    I'm sure plenty here will take issue with it but the way I see it is, if you have a problem, it's your problem, not Neil's, the success of the game and the voting shows there's a strong crowd that enjoyed the game.

    Just want to make it clear, I've heard the team was crunching quite a lot during the game's development, I'm not defending or ignoring that, if Neil's responsible for that then I take issue with that and lose quite a bit of respect for his management style, my post was more so applauding how he can go onto his social media, knowing there's a mob waiting and just have a laugh and not let that crowd get to him but have his comment to get to them

  • I'm actually a bit intrigued by this. I mean let's be real its probs fake (but honestly at this point I think I'm just so burned out from the Telltale leaks watch this actually be real and no one believes it lol)

    But the reason I am actually kinda curious about it is the lighting. In my experience making the SFM gameplay concepts, I could never get the lighting and shading to look anything like the actual game's. But this post def got lighting correct. Also the Wolf models have issues with their heavy blackout lines where they don't look like how they should compared to the source material (and it is a lot more complicated than just editing the texture.) Now for better 3D engines it probably can be done, but I am fairly certain a lot of the Wolf models you can transfer into them suffer similar issues to the SFM models (like the black outlines not working correctly.)

    If it faked, it is most likely a screengrab from a scene that happens in game and then edited. So I guess if someone wanted to go and scrub through Season 1 and see if they find the scene where this happens it can be confirmed fake. Or just wait like 3 more days lol

    (also also, the original reveal did use the season 1 models even though 90% of the trailer was new assets, so there is that I guess?)

  • I'm saying it's fake since the shadows look like they're added over the image rather than actually being in the game. The shadow of the blinds sit flatly over Bigby and don't wrap around the model like dynamic shadows should. They also remain the same size despite the distance between Bigby and the wall.

  • I don't mean the literal blind shadows, but how the light and color of the light reflects off Bigby's skin.

    (That is a good point about the blind shadows though. Although Wolf's lighting is stylistically very flat thus depth becomes harder to percept and have a crappy photo lol. So leakers 101)

  • Some people and politicians have tried, but not only would it cause problems in regards to the federal district courts located in these states, but you'd be dealing with a huge Constitutional issue as well. Some solutions have been proposed to my understanding, but have not gotten very far. Thankfully no actual crimes have been committed in this zone, outside of a poaching incident where the perpetrator was able to walk, but fixing it is easier said than done.

    And that's okay, we can go when you're feeling better, I'm in no rush.

  • Not to jump in too far into politics, but The Constitution itself has been changed over 25 times since it was first written up, it could be altered, sure it could be messy, but I think minimalising/eliminating any way of using this loophole to commit a crime inside that radius should be too priority. No crimes may have been committed, but in the case of a crime occurring, it enables the ability to legally prosecute the criminal.

    I thank you for waiting, but I suspect this sickness is one of those that come about just when you make plans, so I think it's better if we skip the Idaho trip, I'll just go touring through Google Earth instead :wink:

    Yes it's changed, but not only is that incredibly hard (it requires 2/3rds approval of both the House and the Senate, and then 3/4ths of the states), but you're talking about changing one of the original and one of the most important amendments to the Bill of Rights. And not just possibly changing it, but even removing or exempting the fundamental right of trial of ones own peers for a very small area, a move that would have giant ramifications for criminal cases across the entire country. The far better solution would just be to revise the district courts in this scenario, not crack down on people's rights. You're heading into very troubling waters if you're looking to change the Constitution like this. The problem is not the Amendment, it's not even the Constitution, it's just how the courts were proportioned. Even the guy who originally discovered the loophole argued that Wyoming (who's district court oversees all of Yellowstone) should allow the District Court of Idaho to oversee this small area, thus nullifying the loophole. Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi has also tried to convince Congress to allow Idaho to oversee this section instead of the District Court of Wyoming, but to no avail.

    Reviews for Cyberpunk are out. Not particularly surprised that it's good, but what I am surprised about is that the game is apparently incredibly buggy to the point of gamebreaking, even with the day zero patch that some, but apparently not all (?), of reviewers received.

  • Yeah no surprise there,this happened to TW3 at launch too hopefully they'll do what they can to fix the worst bugs,the first patch will probably be a big one (around 40gb or something probably),wouldn't blame anyone for waiting a bit longer to play the game to get the best experience,but i still think it should be fine.
