  1. I checked the walkthroughs and it's definitely a glitch. Might be game breaking, so just a heads up for anyone with the Playstation version EDIT: DF support confirmed they're looking into a fix. w00t ^_^
  2. It's pretty jarring going from all the jank (albeit loveable) in the first game to this lol. The production values feel like a proper CG animated movie adaptation in comparison
  3. Hades is fantastic so far, enjoying it more than expected. Going through Ghosts of Tsushima right now. It makes me want to re-watch Seven Samurai and Yojimbo. After putting it on hold for months I'm two boss fights away from finishing Sekiro. Finally got unstuck in Bloodborne and ripping through that one as well. Man I'm all for games that don't tell you where to go or what to do but having to backtrack to some random previously visited areas several lanterns ago to progress further is a bit too abstruse for me, but aside from that few complaints.
  4. Hard Candy - Almost felt like an especially engaging Black Mirror episode. The fact that it's filmed almost entirely in one house, and only a few rooms in said house with the suspense and twists never relenting is impressive. 8/10 Nasty Baby - It’s tough to think of anything substantial about this without getting into spoilers. I’ll just say something happens later and suddenly there’s a stark tonal shift that gut punches you and makes it difficult to forget. 8/10
  5. I'm curious as to how these will play compared to GTA5. If all the mechanics (except character switching) in that one - the bigger map, wildlife ecosystems, and all that - aren't brought over or refined, I don't know why I'd go back except for just nostalgia's sake, but eh.
  6. I'm just gonna say it: based on the new footage the gameplay looks better than JSR's
  7. I moved years ago, but was born in a pretty socially/culturally dumb environment and especially backwards and insensitive (sometimes hostile) towards LGBTQA perspective, so the goal would be not to end up in that situation again ^_^
  8. RDR2, because of this article: Colorized Photo of New Orleans from 1906 Looks Like A Red Dead Redemption 2 Screenshot GAMERANT.COM A colorized image of New Orleans, Louisiana looks like a screenshot from Red Dead Redemption 2, serving as a testament to the game's graphics.
  9. Yeah, it's rough. Gosh, I'm glad I don't have kids, especially in times like this. I strongly doubt I'd have the management skills to take that challenge on well enough. Question: to what extent do ya think more financial assistance/bidencare would be helpful with your situation (IF it was a possibility. there are clearly hurdles to that happening)? And how economically feasible do you think it would it be, depending on how long it needed to last (as with many other things I'm kinda dumb when it comes to the knowing about economic side of politics)?
  10. I mean I think it's still complicated by the fact that several young people are getting really sick from long covid and we still don't have a complete picture of how bad it will be, and the disease is only continuing to mutate and grow deadlier. Socialization during formative years is important though, no doubt. I wouldn't think of remote schooling as a new normal so much as one of many strategies to prevent spread/infection during and before predicted surges. If only it was that easy. It probably won't be, given how much of the general public is behaving and how some of the powers that be keep reacting to the pandemic and obstructing things like mask mandates, financial aid and plenty of other things that happen when a deadly outbreak happens in a country that's too stupid and careless to react to it responsibly.
  11. Hmmm, are websites like sittercity.com and care.com (which have built-in feedback systems) not viable enough right now? I mean compared to putting your kids at risk of getting an even more dangerous form of long covid, hiring a caretaker or leaving them w/ someone you know seems like a safer bet for anyone who can do it. But yea, with how things function socioeconomically right now and how the pandemic is being handled, for many it's definitely a tough situation with no easy solutions.
  12. With younger kids it makes sense if there aren't friends or relatives they can be left with, though tbf I'm a cruel bastard who thinks if you're unable to afford a babysitter you probably shouldn't have any. And a requirement in place that anyone who can go to class remotely, should, seems like it would be preferable to what exists now. Also this scenario is a pretty good reason among many for why UBI - even if only during the pandemic - should've been a thing by now. Blood sacrifices for the market doesn't even seem like an exaggerated description at this point.
  13. Probably a dumb question w/ an obvious answer, but is there a reason why schools across the board aren't doing everything remotely via skype and discord or something? EDIT: for anyone who can, ie not making it mandadory for every student
  14. Texas Governor Asks for COVID Help After Royally F--king Up Pandemic Response | Vanity Fair WWW.VANITYFAIR.COM Don’t worry, though, he’s still banning mask mandates and other measures that could actually stop the virus.
  15. Upcoming Cyberpunk game 'Vigilance 2099' Is Aiming For A Console Release TECHSTORY.IN Vigilance 2099 is inspired by Bladerunner, Cyberpunk, and the never-released Prey 2. The small three-person studio is still in the early stages of development, but has already shown short scenes of gameplay and disclosed potential plans, including a console release.
  16. Rosemary's Baby - A horror film is most effective imo when it’s about characters in situations in which they're being manipulated by ulterior forces/the source of the horror, making smart and relatable decisions in reaction to the situations they’re in, but ultimately helpless to stop it until it's too late. And attempts to stop it somehow make it even worse. That’s more or less what happens here. My main gripe is I think it’s executed much better in other films with that premise made since. 7.5/10 Pasture - I knew the director of this, so figured I’d check it out. I think the concept was new and interesting, but lacking in scariness. It kept me guessing and was pretty unnerving from beginning to end though 7/10
  17. Woodstock '99: Peace, Love and Rage - I didn’t know much about Woodstock '99 going in other than hearing about it and seeing clips on MTV at the time. The '99 version of me had awful taste in music and probably would’ve wanted to be there. I’m glad I wasn't. What a figurative and literal shitshow (you think that’s just mud caked onto the crowd’s bodies in those screenshots? It might’ve been, had the plumbing not been destroyed) where seemingly anything that could go wrong, did. This felt like a truthful enough account of the toxic atmosphere of the time and mirrors a lot of what's going on now. When you see how REVERED a band like Limp Bizkit was back then (more or less the headlining act), especially given their behavior there, it can even seem downright jarring when viewed through a current lens, but it makes it all the more a compelling watch. 8/10
