He got filtered by samus's space quest, what a fag.

>>86061 Malding old man doesn't understand basic 2D platforming navigation.

Wanna know why pedos are shitting up /v/? They're trying to groom lolifags.

>>86065 Samus is too autistic for that anon.

>>86066 Pedos are like homos not that there isn't massive overlap of course they try to spread their pedophilia as much as possible

>>86061 Imagine getting filtered by Metroid, just because you have to shot every wall.

>>86061 >not posting the videos

>>86068 i figure autism is doing exactly that rather than playing it cool, like dudes who grab a girl by the pussy with a fucking captain hook motion

>>86068 Samus must be like Erin white korra, she gives me strong vibes She's just drunk though

>>86072 I require my space autistic birdgirl to throw her spaghetti and act like a super workaholic all the time just because she doesnt know how to interact with people, therefore scaring off space anon, ive said my piece. >>86073 Wouldnt that just land us in ye olde' horny samus?

>>86066 >Killing someone in a videogame it's the same as killing someone IRL, you guys are just in denial Ok Dylan.

>>86074 id rather she be unga bunga space cavegirl who hunts by instinct rather than logic also for her to be like seven feet tall

>>86076 I'd rather she be seventy feet tall myself

>>86076 Well, i dont know now, but back in super metroid she was super tall, shes canonically taller than doomguy and almost as tall as duke.

>>86066 I remember ages ago on vch.moe, around the time of this image, a tornigger said pedo's are like wannabe jews on the internet in comparison to their richfag IRL counterparts. They always try to subvert shit and get a foothold.

>>86071 I've never played a Metroid before but the second video looks like a relatively valid complaint? Maybe I'm missing some context like it being a secret room or a secret shortcut?

>>86071 I actually agree, that is a pretty obtuse design choice, unless there's existing precedence in the series that returning players would recognize. That said, I don't see how that justifies a grown ass man having a hissy fit like this, he should be embarrassed. Either way, if soylets are having a cry over it that must mean there something good to the game, Ill check it out.

>>86086 >unironically using jewgle

>>86087 Just shut the fuck up. It literally says it. Right there in the pic. Her canonical height from Super Metroid.

>>86088 I don't care about metroid guys height.

Nice bread, GaymerGays!

I hate Metroid Dread and think it's a terrible game, but I hate more all the fucking casuals and leftist faggots criticising it for being too difficult, or because they are human trash that doesn't understand how metroid games work. It feels as if I have to defend a shit game that I hate and won't ever like due to the nonsense these retards are spewing. It vaguely reminds me of the time casuals were getting stuck en masse at the start of super metroid, same faggots who were claiming they always loved the game.

>>86065 mmmm... feather pubes

>>86091 Why do you hate dread though? I understand being indiferent to it, but not hating it.

>>86084 In Super Metroid, you had to walk through a fake wall, and it doesn’t show up on your X-Ray Visor, so it's not even a new thing

>>86085 Yeah, the game is fun however there should've been some sort of cracks in the wall to subtly hint where to go. Additionally one of the things about Dread that I ALSO got lost on was after killing the second EMMI, I had no idea where to go. The last thing on my mind was to go back to the first world on the map, and do some sort of shenanigans there. I like the idea in concept and I think Dread is a FANTASTIC game, however they could've had more subtle hints on where to go after finishing an objective.

>>86094 Kind of sounds like these games are sort of shit.

>>86093 I hate it because it's Fusion. I would even say Dread has better gameplay and is a better game despite the shit story and condescending modern design, timewasters and all. I'm actually surprised casuals are having a hard time with the game despite obvious design decisions made to cater to them.

>>86095 >I had no idea where to go. The last thing on my mind was to go back to the first world on the map <In fucking Metroid

>>86071 >I loved Spidernigger opinion discarded

>>86086 >>86076 She could be 8ft tall

>>86098 It was my first Metroid game. no billy

>>86079 /hebe/ delenda est

>>86086 your on-model ideologies have no bearing on my dick

>>441386 The most I use a phone for grocery shopping is making a list.

>>86085 I can remember solving plenty of these bullshit puzzles in metroid, zelda, and others (mostly adventure), and I'd say the feeling you get when solving it justifies the "bad design". There is more to design than just rational guidelines, and they play test these things to see if the average gamer can actually solve it. These roadblocks are usually within paths were it is fairly obvious its where you need to be. You can call it padding, but bullshit outside of the box thinking is what makes metroid special. If you just plowed through a metroid game without ever getting stuck while solving every room immediately, it would feel like a really shitty action platformer. You need that "aha" moment, when a game gives you obvious clues it doesn't feel special.

>>86067 What kind of tea is Satsuki drinking?

>>86071 >Second webm That's been the game's design since day one. That's just about the design for ANY open-world game. If you're lost and don't know where you go, you start whamming on anything and everything until something clicks. >>86101 >my first Metroid game You fail on two accounts. FIRST, don't start ANY series when latest entries. You start with the first. In the case of Metroid that's the original (On NES, GC, or GBA) or Zero Mission (On the GBA). SECOND, that's open-world non-sandbox game design 101. Like I said, if you're lost and don't know where to go, you start shooting the shit out of everything. Especially when the fucking clue in that video is that the hallway you see up above is a dead end.

>>86085 >that is a pretty obtuse design choice

>>86108 >going this far to excuse shit soytendo game design because a faggot complained about it

>>86108 Nigger how stupid are you? There's enemies above you on another floor. That means you can get up there. A single stray shot upwards would've told you right away the floor is destructible.

>>86102 >>86102 >>86066 >>86069 I asked my niece about this, she says that anyone trying to conflate loli art with real pedo shit is most likely a glow nigger (like most of the (1) pedo posters using tot and loli art on /b/ trying to mix it with pics of IRL kids).

>>86107 I didn't know Metroid was a story focused game. Shit. >>86111 I bet your niece doesn't even know what a glow nigger is.

>>86112 >I didn't know Metroid was a story focused game <The story is the only reason to start with the first entry in a video GAME series

>>86112 then why would she specifically say glow nigger? >>441404 sorry fed nigger, *she only looks up art on bleached-booru, I've IP banned all nigger shit from her pc.

>>441396 Maybe faux-president, I'd have a smart fridge if you didn't collapse our economy and I wasn't stuck with a regular-ass fridge. And how many fetuses do you eat to stay alive?

>>441396 This photo is fucking hilarious Everyone in the background looks so fucking cartoonishly evil its not even funny like they're smug about making Biden do this, Biden's confused and empty look on his face just adds to it

>>86115 >faux-president He rigged it fair and square, don't steal his victory from him like he stole his victory to begin with, fat. Wanna go? Pushup contest. Right now. C'mon man.

>>86106 >He think's that's tea kek

>>86117 Have some RESPECT nigger. I'm not joking, I'm serious. NOT A JOKE!

>>86113 is it worth playing this new one if I've only played the NES game? (I didn't care much for the FPS stuff on GameCube) >>86115 the news media won't tell the NPCs that info. all of them think the orange man forced a bat to fuck a monkey so covid is his fault along with the ever collapsing economy. >>441411 (check) no way to know for sure.

>>441411 >hello police? I'd like to file a report about anonymous. What are you, fucking retarded?

>>86120 >Prime >FPS

>>86104 >Not just handwriting your grocery lists

>>86122 isn't it usually referred to as an FPS game?

>>441413 >Wait, since when? There's loli posters, and pedoposters, but I rarely, if ever, see both 2D and 3D in the same post. I dunno what he's talking about, that's more of a /b/ cancer thing which is why I prefer it here because you could make a thread about pretty much anything on /b/ hell even drywall and some of the Torpedo's show up regardless and self insert themselves into the thread never shutting the fuck up about children. It's really annoying especially when they realize no one is interested in talking to them so they start samefagging with themselves trying to create organic discussion and when on one budges they sperg out. Like I said they're really annoying.

>>86123 >not memorizing your list >>86124 Only if you're Bob Chipman. It's more first person adventure.

>>86123 wasting paper >>86126 (check) >person adventure. what other games would go into that category? (call of cthulhu, and deus ex?)

>>86127 System Shock 1. In fact in some ways Metroid Prime is like a consolized System Shock.

>>86123 >not writing shopping lists on cruciform tablets

>>86127 >writing a list on your Jewoogle-android/Crapple-iPhone can know what your eating and what your preferred cleaning products are Fuck that, it's non of their businesses, the NSA doesn't need to know how often I buy bread and eggs, they can go get fucked.

>>86084 Tentatively, he's not entirely wrong. I haven't played the game, so I don't know if there are text clues, previous "tutorial" setpieces, or enemy animations that would tip an attentive player off which flew entirely over his balding scalp. I also don't know if the area he's trying to get to is a "secret" area needed for 100% map completion or a powerup, or if it's a main path. Personally, I would have thought that having an adjoining room onscreen with enemies present would have been an indication of something hidden or a "trick" being necessary to move forward. But again, I haven't played the game so I don't know if different map sections will overplay the same screenspace. Some games do, some don't. If you're entirely new to the series, I can see where it could cause confuse and would be a bad design choice. If you have experience with Metroid games, you gotta know that's part of the package deal, and rather than complaining about it - then at least put in the effort to shoot walls and look for secrets before going online to make an ass out of yourself by complaining that you can't find it. Reminder that the highlight of this guy's career was the God of War franchise - which are fine for cheesecake, but are just about the lowest entry tier games of their genre that you can get. He doesn't have a lot of room to pretend to talk authoritatively about good game design.

>>86071 Must be hard living with a complete inability to problem solve. It was so simple I can't even remember having "solved" it. I just breezed past it because it's so dead simple. >>86084 the very fact that you can see the other side is meant to be an indication that you can maybe try shooting at it, it's not like it requires some outside the box thinking, shooting wildly in general, which you are more or less meant to do. means most people find the wall completely by accident, and those who don't are again, very likely to try because at that point you're confined to a small area and that's the only part where you can see an inaccessible area through a small wall. >>86091 It feels amazing so far, no idea what you're seeing wrong with it.

>>86131 >God of War >not Twisted Metal

>>86128 >System Shock 1 Ok, I've only played a few bits of System Shock 1, it was incompatible with my mouse. I was using a 9 pin serial mouse at the time and the game just hated it. by the time I had a usb/ps2 adapter mouse I was on winxp and had to give up on most dos games. >>86130 >not using a pine phone, encrypting the list and air gaping the handset till you can erase your data and keep it out of the hands of NSA glow niggers.

>>86071 >Have an infinite ammo primary weapon that can destroy blocks >Not shooting it everywhere possible Some people are just not cut for vidya gaem

>>86133 Twisted Metal was the better game series, but it wasn't his highlight. Even if you consider it to be, there wasn't a whole lot of comparable level design. It was a vehicular arena shooter. None of the secrets or side-areas were vital to the progression of the game. They were completely optional paths that either hid power-ups or allowed you to flank enemies.

>>86061 >>86071 Imagine being filtered by a Metroid game of all things. What a faggot. The game handed me my ass a good few times and that was what I expected. Learning item locations and enemy attack patterns are part of the fun. If he wants a game to hold his fucking hand he should stick to fucking walking simulators.

>>86134 >Ok, I've only played a few bits of System Shock 1, it was incompatible with my mouse Play the enhanced edition then. And make or look up some maps.

>>86135 But again, he's not entirely wrong in that hidden areas that don't have at least SOME kind of visual clue that something is off about it are annoying as fuck. It's like comparing Wolfenstein 3D to Catacombs Abyss (or even DOOM) where Wolfenstein mostly relied on you strafing walls and jamming the space key until you heard the sound of a wall moving. Catacombs and Doom typically had some sort of audio cues, or discolored walls, or strategically placed environmental clues. Anything that breaks the pattern, usually indicated that there was something hidden nearby. If you're just running around aimlessly blasting walls at random in hopes of something opening up, that's a lot of wasted time and effort - and not a great design choice. Of course, that doesn't apply to his complaint about Metroid Dread because as >>86108 pointed out... all the clues were right fucking there for him the whole time. At least enough to warrant a few casual shots out of curiosity.

>>86111 >I asked my niece about this wut

EA Sports to Remove Jon Gruden From Madden Video Game Amid Email Controversy >Gruden announced his resignation from the head coaching job on Monday following reports that he had for years used language in email correspondence that was homophobic, racist and misogynistic, according to ESPN. "I love the Raiders and do not want to be a distraction," Gruden said in a statement the team issued Monday. He went on to thank the team's players, fellow coaches and fans before adding an apology: "I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone." >EA Sports cited the circumstances surrounding Gruden's resignation in a Wednesday tweet that announced its plans to revise Madden NFL 22, which was first released in August. >EA Sports is committed to taking action in maintaining a culture of inclusion and equity," the developer said in its statement announcing Gruden's planned removal from the game. "We will replace him with a generic likeness via a title update in the coming weeks." >Mark Davis, the Raiders' principal owner, said Monday he had accepted Gruden's resignation. Davis declined to comment when pressed about Gruden's resignation on Wednesday and referred further questions to the NFL, ESPN reported. >Rich Bisaccia was named the team's interim head coach earlier this week and said that "no one person is bigger than the Raiders' shield" while briefly addressing Gruden's resignation at the beginning of a media briefing on Wednesday. >The Raiders have always stood for diversity, inclusion, social justice," Bisaccia told reporters. "It's important to live those ideals and carry them into the future. We cannot change the past, but we can do more to maybe make tomorrow better." >Gruden's emails were discovered during an investigation that had largely concentrated on Daniel Snyder, the owner of the Washington Football Team. In one email that Gruden sent in 2011 to Bruce Allen, the Washington Football Team's general manager and president, Gruden used racist language in comments about DeMaurice Smith, who serves as the NFL Players Association's executive director. <The content of that particular email was first reported last week by The Wall Street Journal. >A spokesperson for the NFL later condemned Gruden's use of language in a statement that called it "wholly contrary" to the league's values. >Gruden signed a 10-year contract when he became the Raiders' head coach in 2018, a deal that ESPN reported was believed to be worth about $100 million. He previously coached the team for about three years in the late 1990s and early 2000s. https://archive.ph/kFSGq Licensing Debates Between EA And FIFA Might Result >In A Name Change For The Storied Franchise Recent events came as a shock to many fans of EA’s classic football series FIFA, because they suggested it might not be called FIFA much longer, and we now have a deeper insight as to why thanks to a recent report which suggests the issue lies not just within the finances, but with the freedom EA has with the FIFA license. >A recent report from the New York Times discusses the issue, speaking to industry veterans like Peter Moore, who held a senior position at EA for years before he left, who noted that even the mention of negotiations is out of character, and likely a sign within itself. >The issue is essentially that FIFA is looking to get more than double what they currently receive from EA in their existing licensing deal, and that they want to limit the amount of freedom that EA has with the FIFA license. >Changing the name of the FIFA franchise would be a monumental moment in gaming’s history, though the report does point out that EA likely wouldn’t stand to lose much, since they’ll realistically still only be directed towards whatever EA changes to, and with the lack of competition, particularly due to eFootball’s poor launch, it doesn’t look like EA would really sweat the loss of the FIFA name. https://archive.ph/G9sAB

>>86120 >is it worth playing this new one if I've only played the NES game? (I didn't care much for the FPS stuff on GameCube) That's up to you. Don't know why you would, though, when there's three other games that you wouldn't have played (Excluding the remake, and fan projects); and evidence has gone to show that EVERY successive entry to any series created prior to the past decade has been inferior to it's predecessor(s) in one way or another. >>86124 Prime is referred to the status of being a "First-person platformer", the genre that games like Mirror's Edge and Portal belong to. >>86128 >System Shock 1 I considered the SS games to be first-person RPGs.

>>86114 good point.

>>86144 >even has her own board double wut

>>86134 I wish owned a pine phone or fairphone so I could run Lineage or Sailfish OS. Hell I'd be satisfied with even and older model since I personally don't really need the latest hardware since I live where signal is good and only use my current phone for calling/texting and not much else. Are they easy to find on Ebay/Amazon used? Reason I haven't done so with my current phone is because Sony is shit and rooting Xpiria phones is convoluted and risks potential bricking easily, but it was free so can't complain to much.

>>86142 >I considered the SS games to be first-person RPGs. That's more SS2. SS1 does away with stats and most RPG stuff. SS2 was Irrational trying to wedge in all the RPG stats from Ultima Underworld back in. >>86145 And Prime actually shares some staff with Turok.

However, that statement comes with a “but” attached. That “but” is because we grew up with people who did it, we grew up knowing about it, we grew up in cultures where it was just a part of life, and that cultural connection can’t be ironed out. While cockfighting isn’t “right” a minigame that turns it into a joke isn’t “wrong”—or at the very least doesn’t exist in an American cultural vacuum. >In truth, as the “discourse” shifts from “cockfighting bad” to “the people enjoying this minigame are bad,” it’s weird being brown in this space. I assure you the pixels on the screen are fine and the people making jokes and enjoying cockfighting Tekken are in on the joke and aren’t running their own operations in real life. For me, I was remembering the tio who snuck off to bet on a cockerel named Pequeño and how he tried to pretend he wasn’t. Others were just remembering living in places where it didn’t have to be secret. So talk about cockfighting, question its inclusion in this game, but do so knowing who you’re in conversation with, because once the game is out, it isn’t just with the devs, but the players too. Complaining about fictional cock fighting is stupid enough. But accusing those who are complaining about it, even though you also don't like it, are being racist? How many levels of woke are we on?

>>86165 >VLC Use Media Player Classic.

>>86161 >nope, just lots of cuddling, and watching anime Naked cuddling? Anything at all more intimate than what would be considered socially acceptable?

>>86162 >Asus The only good thing about Asus is that they're not made by Commie Chinks in the mainland but by Island Chinks instead. Aren't Asus's still infamous for over heating to the point of frying themselves? Also I like having the ability to change my battery.

>>86166 I wonder why they didn't get upset about sleeping dogs?

>>86061 >>86071 Jesus, how the hell is this guy a game dev if he can't even figure out a Nintendo game early on? If he was upset over the EMMI sections, I'd get it, I think they aren't that good either, but this is standard Metroid design and he's saying it sucks because he couldn't figure out that he had to be observant and try to figure out environmental cues like shooting the floor above him to see if he can destroy the blocks impeding his progress.

>>86175 It's possible that this is all a marketing ploy sell more copies

>>86111 >>86161 A fellow niece lover (in a familial way) on 8moe. I thought I was the only one. I often play whatever multiplayer games I have on my switch with her and I make sure to tickle or hug her often whenever I have the chance, she sometimes gives ME headpats. I refuse to let her know anything about imageboards but I accidently left this shithole open while she was in the room so, uh, my bad. What kinds of anime do you watch together? Kinda want to watch Bobobo bo bobobo or Ultimate Muscle with her the next time she visits me.

>>86174 VLC is fine except when it isn't. MPV is also fine except when it isn't. MPC-HC is an outdated meme.

>>86160 And while I'm on the same topic of phones >Apple makes it hard to repair camera on iPhone 12 >Samsung turns off camera if you unlock bootloader, even if you weren't planning on installing a new OS like Lineage >Google makes Pixel 6 Pro's replacement cameras poor quality or not work Not big surprise, but it's funny to see them advertise the importance of being eco-friendly while also going out of their way to make their products unfixable.

>>86174 There's a fork active: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/ And a Blacked edition with a more "modern" look: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/

>>86176 >how the hell is this guy a game dev <Skip to the 7:00 minute marker in the video.

>>86176 >>86182 Sorry, meant 8:38.

>>86176 >Jesus, how the hell is this guy a game dev if he can't even figure out a Nintendo game early on? What's even worse is that, in the interview I posted, he claims that the title that got him interested in gaming is Flashback. <Yes, THIS Flashback.

>people keep complaining about Dread being too hard >tfw I think the game is easier than previous Metroid games

>>86176 >>86071 They even place an enemy on the ceiling so you might easily find you can shoot through it by accident.

>>86182 >>86183 >I actually wanted to get into movies It's either fucking this or "I wanted to the world to see games as ART"whenever a hack gets into the industry. Will we ever see the opposite happen where a guy wanted to make games, but ends up being a big movie director?

>>86165 >make blu-ray play on VLC? doesn't it just play when you use the open disc option? >>86163 >How old is she? old enough to be fun to hang around with, but young enough to not be toxic and fucked up... (I know that will happen soon enough) >>86168 No, fully dressed. but we do shop for clothing together, so lots of trying things on >>86170 lol, she has watched the avgn a few times. she still thinks swearing is hilarious >>86171 rule number "one" never teach a girl to give into her "desires" she and her fiends consider me "cool/attractive" but I've let them know that only animals and "jungle folk" give into those feelings told her I would help her find someone if that's what she wants. (i'm sure she'll change her mind as she gets older. the corrupt society will warp her mind) >>86178 i'll answer these, brb (have to make coffee) >>86179 >>86181 I stopped using mpc when I stopped using codec packs.

>>86182 Separated at birth?

>>86189 aren't both of them mega sjw's?

>>86188 >but we do shop for clothing together, so lots of trying things on Are you a woman?

>>86188 >No, fully dressed. but we do shop for clothing together, so lots of trying things on Do you ever see her naked? > (i'm sure she'll change her mind as she gets older. the corrupt society will warp her mind) Change her mind about what, exactly?

>>86188 >MPC >codec packs Nigger what? >>86174 >What's wrong with VLC, Shit image output, poor seeking

>>86182 >>86183 It's one retardedly simple ffmpeg command to turn your 26MB file into a 3MB one.

>>86108 >Contras in the area in the middle Isnt that somewhat offset by the shadowing though? Your eyes are naturally drawn to the brighter areas of a scene and usually visual language in games indicates that highlighted areas are more likely to be interactive. >Clearly an exit Or an entrance, can't that also simply indicate that the above chamber needs to be accessed from a different room? >A giant block under a think black floor >The game teaches you to shoot this kind of thing from the beginning. Well shit, that's all you had to say, if thats the case theres zero excuse for anyone complaining. I should clarify, I'm not necessarily saying it being obtuse is bad, if a game is supposed to involve some puzzling or just using your head a little its sort of expected, as >>86105 points out, but I can see why it can be considered bad design from a certain perspective, especially if you go in just expecting a pure action adventure. The issue with the faggot in the video is that was enough for him to give up and run off to make a video complaining about it like it was some huge indictment against the game as opposed to just not being suited to his retard brain.

>>86071 His taste in games is shit.

Also reminder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Jaffe >He was born to a Jewish family.

>>86189 >>86190 wasn't Patton the one who chose to bitch about GamerGate on twatter instead of comforting his dying wife?

>>86188 >>86178 Fellow niece appreciators I remember coaching her through beating Bloodborne yeah, I own a PS4, fell for the Yakuza meme before it got ported to PC I also remember trying to get her to read Jojo and traumatizing her with the Danny barbecue. Though she later powered through and really started to like the series and really seems to like Kira, but also Jonathan so things balanced out.

>>86198 If you consider feeding your wife antidepressants past their intake limit, he did fine.

>>86198 Yes. Because he murdered her.

>>86198 You mean the one he totally didn't poison? Yeah I seem to recall he was online talking shit instead of being with her towards the end.

>>86178 >I thought I was the only one. more of us around then you might think :^) >I often play whatever multiplayer games I have on my switch with her and I make sure to tickle or hug her often whenever I have the chance, she sometimes gives ME headpats. that's extremely cute. i'm a bit of a curmudgeon so I usually let her be the one to initiate physical contact but I can give as good as I get lol >I refuse to let her know anything about imageboards but I accidently left this shithole open while she was in the room so, uh, my bad. Ah, mine found image boards on her own. I just tried to guide her out of being a newfag. >What kinds of anime do you watch together? all kinds, last ones we agreed on 100% "shield hero" and "from commonplace to world's strongest" also loved gundam wing and outlaw star. >Kinda want to watch Bobobo bo bobobo or Ultimate Muscle with her the next time she visits me. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Bobobo bo bobobo. what a crazy show. she picked out "summer wars" and "your name" for our next movie watch time... but covid shit has been getting in the way

>>86175 >I wonder why they didn't get upset about sleeping dogs? Because nobody cares about $1 bargain bin Sleeping Dogs. They're not operating on principle here. If the game isn't a massive AAA new release or from a well known and popular franchise to draw in those rage and shock clicks, then nobody fucking cares what they do or say. The only principles worth standing on are those principles that come with a payday in either money or influence - and there's money to be made.

>>86188 >doesn't it just play when you use the open disc option? I actually don't know because I haven't got a blu-ray player yet. I was looking up external drives and I kept finding something about how you'll need a 3'rd party software player to actually view media. So I checked up on VLC and lo and behold I keep finding all this stuff about how you have to nigger around with it to get it to play blurays (and apparently it still only some and not all that will work). I just don't want to have to buy a blu-ray player and then find out that it completely useless for watching movies.

>>86199 >and really seems to like Kira Get her to read Jojolion that one has a good aligned Kira in it and she can be disappointed and mystified by the conclusion like the rest of us were.

>>86206 yeah but hes good and therefore boring; women need a badboy they can try to reform while completely ignoring the possibly of being horrifically murdered

>>86191 I won't say, but I have run into an aunt on here that has a niece who sounds way naughtier than mine she said they played unteralterbach together >>86192 a few times, (changing at the beach) she not uncomfortable around me since she knows i'm not weird about it. >Change her mind about what, exactly? i'm red-pilled enough to know how things go. once a girl gets old enough and looses contact with role models or male family members the brainwashing and genetic programming kick-in... but for now I get to enjoy her company (and sometimes her fiends). all of them seem to look up to me as a big brother/mentor type of person. so I treasure the few moments I know are left of this time. >>86193 don't you remember the CCCP pack for MPC? (or am I just too old of an image board weeb now that only I know about such things?) >>86198 yep, he's a pile of neolib trash. >>86197 I always suspected that. >>86199 yeah I want to start Jojo with her soon. I was also thinking about berserk, just the 90's anime and if she wanted more we would go onto the manga. >>86204 >Sleeping Dogs I rember that game running sub 30fps on 360/ps3 and PC version was always crashing for me. was it actually any good? sorry for the bummer feels, she's even given me a few cheer up emo-uncle talks.' growing up in lib town black-pilled me on quite a few things. >>86206 looking forward to Stone Ocean, prison break genre been a favorite of mine since I was a kid >>86205 I have a blu-ray drive and VLC has always "just worked" fine for me. but you might have to have use a pro version of windows as I think it comes with a blu-ray license/driver

>>86111 >I asked my niece about this, she says that anyone trying to conflate loli art with real pedo shit is most likely a glow nigger How old is your niece?

>>86208 >don't you remember the CCCP pack for MPC? Yes, and then once MPC replaced it with LAV filters it was no longer needed.

>>86208 >I won't say, but I have run into an aunt on here that has a niece who sounds way naughtier than mine >she said they played unteralterbach together Lesbian incest?

>LARP hour >anons take the bait every single time

>>86068 That’s why she had to get drunk before she could work herself up enough to say it.

>>86123 >he doesn't write down his list just to ignore it and buy two bottles of whiskey haha, what a fag

>>86199 Anons told me not to get her to watch jojo what the fuck. I'm making her watch it the next time she visits fuck what they say. >>86203 >Gundam Gonna make that little shit watch Gurren Lagaan with me and I know shes gonna love it.

>>86214 >his list isn't 3 bottles of whiskey >he doesn't end up only buying 2 bottles because he can't afford the third one who's the fag now?

>>86214 >>86216 >muh depression >still have enough energy to go outside instead of ordering cheap shit online and throwing money through the door without interacting with the delivery guy

>>86209 >How old is your niece? see >>86188 >>86211 No, but playing hentai games together sounds a little sus. but whom am I to judge? >>86215 Gurren Lagann is on the list! was also thinking about EVA... I don't have a big library of mecha shows. (anything else I should think of?) >>86217 I always make small talk with the delivery guy/lady and try to make them feel appreciated. (its a rough gig sometimes)

>>86071 >there's no indication you have to shoot the ceiling except you can see the room right above you, with enemies in it, and it's visible on your map, and you already had to shoot multiple walls to get to this point in the game anyway so you already know that shooting thin walls can sometimes break them. There's even a moment where the game pauses the first time you have to shoot a wall to progress and it tells you this will be a thing in the game. And there's a loading screen tip that tells you to shoot walls with missiles to reveal what will break the wall if the missile doesn't do it. What's more, there are no foreground elements in the game (enemies or terrain) that are not actually involved in gameplay. Dude's just retarded and can't read contextual environmental clues and needs to be led by the fucking nose. I've 100% the game on hard mode now and it wasn't that difficult. The hardest parts were running out of missiles on phase three of the final boss and having to use charge shots to whittle him down, which was tedious, and some of those secret pickups require precise platforming and timing.

>>86218 I mean you're family so that's good enough reason to care about what they're doing together if it's involving loli porn games.

>>86176 There is more than one genre of game.

>>86219 Here are clips of some of those secrets that were more difficult than usual. Again, these are probably the trickiest things to do in the game as their optional extras for 100% and they're not that fucking hard.

>>86218 >Mecha shows to show your niece G Gundam and 8th MS Team

>>86222 Are any of them more obscure than that one puzzle in Deedlit? If not then I don't know what these soygoys are bitching about.

>>86218 I don't know but cartoons are also good. My neice is a child so she missed out on the good shit like The Looney Tunes Show and Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. Maybe you can watch some scooby doo movies with her too.

>>86224 I haven't played that game but is that a QR code down the bottom on the middle pillar?

>>86218 >sus And, that's where all the fun ends.

>>86219 >>86222 Honestly, I gave up on the game as soon I came back to the 3rd area after beating the boss of the second area. I became completely stuck and had no clue where to go next. Help me anon the yellow speed EMMI keeps killing me. >>86223 I don't think a young girl would like a more griddy and realistic take on Gundam like 8th MS Team or Stardust Memory. My favorite non UC ones are Wing and 00 though, you really can't go wrong with those. >>86224 Yeah I know what that shitty puzzle is. I think I saw a video about it after I beat the damn game, how the fuck did someone figure that shit out in the first place?

People have really grown accustomed to games spoonfeeding them from beggining to end, uh? What an embarrassment.

>>86228 >Honestly, I gave up on the game as soon I came back to the 3rd area after beating the boss of the second area. Whenever you're given a new powerup to progress to the next section of the game, the place where you use said powerup is not far away and should be visible on the map. The only time this doesn't happen that I can recall is when there is an engine that gets moved remotely and even then the game shows you a cut-scene of the room as it happens so you know to go back there. I'm not sure which boss you're talking about but if you tell me what powerup you got I can probably help.

>>86226 Yes. I spent a couple of hours overthinking it and had convinced myself that the secret had something to do with map icons, which in my defense looked similar to the corner pieces. The actual solution is to just to use a QR code reader and it gives you the hint which is something like jump 100 times in the center of the room and the floor breaks. Oh well.

>>86222 > these are probably the trickiest things to do in the game Seriously? A "charged dash" is the most difficult thing to do in the game?

>>86230 I got the tripleshot powerup anon fucking help me I want to be done with this shitty 5-6 hour game already.

>>86228 >how the fuck did someone figure that shit out in the first place? It's funny because my first assumption was that it looked like a QR code but then I dismissed it and spent the night running circles around that room looking for the secret entrance. I give the game points for being clever with that puzzle but then take those same points away for being obnoxious about it.

>>86222 Looks like standard post-Super metroid optional puzzles to me.

>>86233 There are multiple doors and moveable blocks that have an icon that looks like three little dots on them. Charge up your weapon and shoot those blocks/doors and they will move/open. >>86232 >A "charged dash" is the most difficult thing to do in the game? Yes, chaining shinesparks is the hardest thing to do in the game. The secret conversation sequence break in Fusion was much harder than anything in Dread.

>loli isn't pedo, fuck off to /b/ >now about those nieces cherish your fun memories of doing stuff with them, any moment they might decide to change pronouns and names and worse

>>86203 there's nothing more soulful than patting your niece's head, aside from maybe letting your nephew beat you in tekken 3

>>86236 >The secret conversation sequence break in Fusion was much harder than anything in Dread. I haven't played that, so I wouldn't know. I was looking it requiring as less difficulty than DIMPS' Sonic games. You know, the original titles that started to "Press boost to win" meme?

>>86208 Since you’ve seen her naked have you ever played or considered playing strip vidya with her?

>>86237 You think that just because I fantasize about fucking my niece while beating my meat every single day that means I'm sexually attracted to her? You've got a lot to learn pal.

>>86216 three doesn't even enter my mind, i treated myself last night with two no money left for tobacco though

>>86236 Thats obvious but I still couldn't find any way to move forward. Fuck it i'll just either stop bothering with the game or look up a walkthrough.

>>86238 Fuck. That. If the little shit wants to beat me at Tekken 3 then he's going to have to earn it. I'm not patronizing a 10 year old. He gets fed a steady diet of enough bullshit in his life already. Sooner or later he's going to have to learn how to deal with people that can leverage advantages against him anyhow. He's a white male, so the sooner he learns that - the better off he'll be. Used to be, parents would take their kids out to the lake and throw them off the pontoon, then tell them they'd see them on shore and start heading back. Obviously the father wouldn't let their kid just fucking drown, but you can't do that these days without an attempted murder or child abuse charge. So this is what you get. Sink or swim little man.

>>86222 They definitely didn't let DrMario64 upstage them when it comes to spark puzzles.

>>86220 before I started taking care of my niece I was estranged from most of my family (especially the female ones). my grandmother hated my father. when he died she wanted me exiled. nobody stood up for me (not even my mother) so I've been living the life of a Shinji/monk (but with way less emotional/psychiatric problems). >>86223 >G Gundam and 8th MS Team. Fuck, I forgot about 8th MS Team. loved that one. >>86225 >Maybe you can watch some scooby doo movies with her too. she loves scooby doo (she likes most spooky kids stuff). I however hate everything post the original 1969 series I watched as a kid on the vhs taps my dad made. >>86227 sorry about that. after the nagatoro stuff and with my niece and her friends playing the space meme game (using the word all the time) I started saying it... unironically. now you know my shame. I ask for mercy, anon. >>86237 I know anon, that's why its all so bittersweet. fuck this gay earth. >>86238 >letting your nephew beat you in tekken 3. I look forward to that one he's old enough to hold a controller. he already seems like a great kid (always smiling). >>86240 No, but she has tried to play "truth or dare with me" and I always decline. I know how sideways that could go. I read lots of horror stories on old half /b/ >>86241 I don't want to be horny, I just want to be happy ;_; >>86244 with my niece I started by helping her fight the computer on very easy mode so she wouldn't get frustrated. started with virtua fighter but she's really into tekken now (she loves customizing outfits). >>86245 I played way more castlevania than metroid over the years. I keep thinking I should give the series another go like the anon above said.

>>86246 I didn't know monks had close relations with their nieces who may be lolicons now.

>>86244 funnily enough, he's pretty good at it and i (27) get cheesy and just go eddy or paul and fuck him up i wipe the floor with him at mario kart too he hates when i do pic related's downward stance lel

>>86246 >Tfw the only animu I recommend is HxH Fucking Togashi. End the fucking manga.

>>86246 >I look forward to that one he's old enough to hold a controller. he already seems like a great kid (always smiling). what age is he? my nephew's 7 and it's fun just playing shit together, also let him play the old gtas and doom, although he's shit at it

>>86251 My nephew is 7 and all he does is play Minecraft or Roblox with his sister (9). He had an NES mini that his mom (my sister) bought him and even on games like Kirby, if he loses, he immediately gives up instead of trying to overcome obstacles

>>86250 It's the 13th.

>>86253 fourteenth on the east coast

>>86071 Haven't played the game myself but unless every room shows you rooms that are adjacent to them when you get near their edge the fact that the minimap tells you there's another room on top but you can actually see it in the playing field would tell me 100% that there's a hidden way there and unless this game changed the fact that you open things by shooting them then shooting the walls would seem immediately obvious to me. Someone should introduce La-Mulana to that tard, I don't even think he'd make it out of the gate of guidance.

Also I don't know if anyone posted about it 2 days ago, but October 12th marks the 4-year anniversary of Grape-kun's death. F

>>86132 >>86071 >Room is divided into two parts >The map is all one big room >Hmm naturally I have to get from the bottom to the top somehow

>>86257 There are plenty of games, especially metroidvanias, where a single room can have completely disconnected areas that are accessible in different ways from different parts of the map.

>>86252 he's the exact same >something slightly hard REEEEE he always wants cheats/godmode (which fair enough, i was probably the same) but i try to get him playing fairly

>>86121 You know you can report the entire domain, right? It's CP, on the fucking clearnet, being tolerated, accepted, and encouraged by that site's administration. Deplatform it through legal means for god's sake, fucking disingenuous torpedo.

>>86247 I was way more monk like before she was in my life. now I have to be "social" and "soft" and all that other lame human stuff I had put aside to wok on improving myself so I could be the coldest mofo around. also just trying to see how long I could survive the coming collapse of civilization. (shits going to be fucked I bet). I'll have to revert to that again at some point... but for now I got little girls jumping around my house doing some cute af shenanigans. hope for the best, but prepare for the worst (and all that jazz) that's I how I live for now. >>86248 seeing that gives me flashbacks to her blue and yellow model side stepping around and handing my ass to me. I still fuck most people up as anna and bryan. (but he feels way less smooth then he did in T3 or T5) >>86249 Niece and I watched HxH up to the end of the story first big arc. (getting the hunters license and killua fucking off) felt like a good place to stop until they finished making the show and we could marathon it over the summer (next summer). >>86251 >what age is he? my nephew's 7 and it's fun just playing shit together. Just turned 4. watched the (80's) care bares movie with him. he loved it. >>86252 yeah, I had to really help my niece get over her frustration and defeatist attitude in games when she would lose. i'm sure i'll have to do the same with my nephew. nes games took my dough blob kid-self and kicked my ass till it was carved out of wood. >>86256 (check) fuck I forgot about that. god speed to Grape-kun

>>86256 >4-year anniversary of Grape-kun's death. Has it been THAT long?

>>86218 >playing hentai games together sounds a little sus The great Fuchur played UAB with his niece(or neighbor kid, I forgot). Don't you fucking dare call a pedophile's motivation in question.

>>86261 >lives alone >niece who's seen more than any child should is extremely close >brings her group of friends who are also close to you Keep your head on straight, anon.

>>86261 >>86252 What's wrong with kids today? Or hell just gamers in general? Even when I was a kid when I would play games and I'd fail I would rage then I would go back in harder and try to beat it. And games that I just couldn't beat I'd just keep playing for the fun of experiencing the game. >even on games like Kirby Holy shit anon, how do you loose at Kirby?

>>86265 Instant gratification has replaced the satisfaction of overcoming challenges

>>86261 >seeing that gives me flashbacks to her blue and yellow model side stepping around and handing my ass to me. I still fuck most people up as anna and bryan. (but he feels way less smooth then he did in T3 or T5) lel i used to hate anna but i'm pretty good with her, very fast combos

>>86252 Aren't the Kirby games piss easy to beat? Pretty sure Sakurai said something along the lines of making the pink puffball that way so that he was approachable or something like that. Why don't make them play Mario Party instead?

>>86265 >What's wrong with kids today? they just watch faggots on youtube "playing flawlessly" and think they can do the same

>>86269 The lack of facing adversity is more than just a game thing, it's a generational divide. Younger kids and teens refuse to face challenges because they weren't taught how to and there's no point to it in their eyes. It's a shame watching others and preferring ease over difficulty has become the norm even when it comes to videogames because gods be damned if they aren't the best at teaching how hard work pays off. Shit at an FPS? Practice and learn the mechanics and map. Shit at an RPG? Try out different builds and start from scratch with a better understanding than when you started. Shit at strategy? Try your hardest even in the face of failure, then go back and try again. Casualization is a cancer. >>86262 It's only been 4 years but it feels like a lifetime. I don't know what's happened since then, it's all a blur. I just know I miss the fact the passing of a Japanese penguin was the most pressing news in the world.

>>86266 >>86269 You know it strikes me every once in a while that despite being rather mediocre at games most of the time, the fact that I managed to beat the likes of SS Isshin means that I'm still in the top 10 or 20 percent of the gaming public. That's a fucking weird feeling.

>>86263 I might have been in that thread. I remember pics of a little blond girl playing UAB on a laptop. was a draw friend also in the thread making comics? >>86264 >niece who's seen more than any child should. not sure what you mean by that, anime and games aren't that bad. she handles new (and disturbing shit) extremely well, almost too well... (I sometimes worry she might be a sociopath) but that's most likely just my inbuilt paranoia and complete lack of trust in other human beings. (also conan, riddle of steel. you know the drill). >brings her group of friends who are also close to you. they are "emotionally" close to me. but I din't share anything about myself that's not pure normie (well, I guess anime and games are a bit past normie level). I also make sure I have a good working relationship with everyone's parents otherwise they coulden't set foot in my home and I made sure that my niece vetted them with all my rules before any contact was made. the worst thing anyone could say about me is I might be a touch "eccentric" but in a doc brown kinda way. (I also get the feeling that most people think I'm gay, NPC's seem to feel safe around gays). >Keep your head on straight, anon. I say that to myself everyday (in one form or another). but thanks for the encouragement, anon. >>86265 >>86268 >>86269 its all the youtube and twitch garbage. kids would rather watch others play games. >>86267 oh yeah, i always get the most rage quits from opponents when I play as anna (fun times)

>>86272 I confused your Unteralterbach playing niece & this niece. But she sounds equally a little out of sorts. Guard your semen.

>>86259 >he always wants cheats/godmode (which fair enough, i was probably the same) I did too, until I actually used them. Then, the games weren't fun anymore.

>>86204 Outrage industry can not shake down games from the past, they target current releases and leverage their media puppet's wavering judgement as a potential payoff. All games from Japan now get hit for something because the cookie jar is obviously now empty largely thanks to the gamers rising up.

>>86270 spot on, i can't add much but a funny example is my nephew (again), "uncle anon can i be thanos" speaking about gta v, and i totally get it, he's watched some fag on youtube who cut/edit their videos so mods are essentially a cheat code to him. he doesn't realise i need to put trainers and shit, "make sure numlocks on" "huh?" they've got it far too easy

>>86274 (checked) i did love using cheats in gta2 as a kid and just fucking around, but i also said to him that activating godmode in doom makes the game literal shit (although he still couldn't navigate properly lol)

>>86222 How much does this game fetch? Don't tell me it's 60 dollars? It can't be any more expensive than a small indie title, can it now? Shadow Complex on X360 costed like ten dollars and looked about the same, 12 years ago. >>86256 I wonder what Penguin tastes like?

>>86272 >I sometimes worry she might be a sociopath Juck fuck her back to normalcy, it's easy to set her straight by making her a mother,especially if your grand-niece is also your daughter.

>>86278 >I wonder what Penguin tastes like? Like Chicken

>>86216 >can buy three bottles of whiskey >drink 2 in one go because I hate myself Who's the fag now

>>86280 Sounds nice, they do look delicious.

>>86277 Does he ever play any racing games like F-Zero or Need for Speed, or puzzle games like Puyo Puyo or Lumines?

>>86255 What really bothers me is this retard expects a game to completely explain everything to a player instead of discover a few things, and then turn around and go WOW WHAT SHITTY DESIGN MAYBE YOUR SACRED COWS AREN'T THAT GOOD AFTER ALL. My brother for a while had requested I get him the witcher games so I did, I outright told him the combat isn't really my favorite and in 1 the entire cornerstone of the combat is setting up oils and potions and there's a bit of trial and error to it especially near the end when you aren't really aware who or what you'll be fighting. He comes to me after a week telling me Witcher 1 is shit and explains nothing, and how anyone's supposed to beat The Beast. I asked him if he used the specter oil that everyone since minute 1 in chapter 1 tells you you'll be needing and using, and he tells me know, and how he was supposed to know that, and and and I get people just want mindless entertainment because maybe they're too tired after work to give much thought to anything, but to me this always meant I always never wanted to for example fuck around in the base building/setup phases of something like X-COM instead of "I want my brain completely shut off and I want the game playing itself with me as a spectator". Like shit Dread looks pretty bad to me but all of these idiots bitching about it makes me think maybe it can't be that bad.

>>86283 nah, closest we get is mario kart. he's a bright kid but he's just had it too easy

>>86284 >I get people just want mindless entertainment I don't. If they want something that will play itself, why not just watch a movie or TV show?

>>86281 If you drank whiskey as much as you chug cum, you could probably drink 3 in one go instead.

>>86286 I meant I get it in the sense of maybe something a bit more involved can be pushed to the weekend or a vacation day or a day where the player isn't tired from working the rest of the day and wants to come back to something light. That I can get, maybe anon today isn't in the mindset of pulling off cuhrayzee combos in his favorite cuhrayzee game so he plays a stealth game because he can take it easy and at his own pace. Not "anon can't be fucked to play a cuhrayzee game so he plays on easy automatic and has the game practically play shit for him".

>>86287 What? I'm not a fag like you and sucks dick. i can handle alot of alcohol 'cos I'm as tall as Andre the Giant.

>>86289 do you also have a pussy like he did?

>>86290 Are you speaking for yourself or your mom?

Yaaaay.

>>86292 Isn't the original book trilogy extremely diverse already?

>>86292 >Lord of the rings tv show actor says it's going to be a shitty show ahead of time with no emphasis on actual acting because Diversity Inc (real company) only cares about the money they get via hire for scouting some black actors or something.

>>86293 Absolutely. It's got elves, dwarves, even hobbits.

>>86292 At least it will have a large number of roles for black actors.

>>86292 >This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. They seriously think they can successfully pull off a prequel to Tolkien's works. The sheer arrogance.

>>86286 Because video games are what's trending now.

>>86282 Damn it satan, fuck off

>>86293 i cant find the one where gimli has Facebook Amazon Google on his helmet so have this instead

>>86297 Who was it that had a very nasily voice and reviewed shitty movies, that had this running joke of "Oh we didn't show it, time to make a prequel"? I'm guessing it's like that with some of it loosely based on the Silmarillion but really the "Shadow of" games have already shown how hard you can butcher a "prequel" story like that but at least that had a sexy lady for shelob's human form which this shit will not even have the decency of having.

>>86292 Tolkien tried to warn us. The ultimate evil, Melkor, was driven to destroy what everyone else had made because he was jealous of what he couldn't create. >Thus, as ‘Morgoth’, when Melkor was confronted by the existence of other inhabitants of Arda, with other wills and intelligences, he was enraged by the mere fact of their existence, and his only notion of dealing with them was by physical force, or the fear of it. His sole ultimate object was their destruction. Elves, and still more Men, he despised because of their ‘weakness’: that is their lack of physical force, or power over ‘matter’; but he was also afraid of them. He was aware, at any rate originally when still capable of rational thought, that he could not ‘annihilate’** them: that is, destroy their being; but their physical ‘life’, and incarnate form became increasingly to his mind the only thing that was worth considering.† Or he became so far advanced in Lying that he lied even to himself, and pretended that he could destroy them and rid Arda of them altogether. Hence his endeavor always to break wills and subordinate them to or absorb them into his own will and being, before destroying their bodies. This was sheer nihilism, and negation its one ultimate object: Morgoth would no doubt, if he had been victorious, have ultimately destroyed even his own ‘creatures’, such as the Orcs, when they had served his sole purpose in using them: the destruction of Elves and Men. Melkor’s final impotence and despair lay in this: that whereas the Valar (and in their degree Elves and Men) could still love ‘Arda Marred’, that is Arda with a Melkor-ingredient, and could still heal this or that hurt, or produce from its very marring, from its state as it was, things beautiful and lovely, Melkor could do nothing with Arda, which was not from his own mind and was interwoven with the work and thoughts of others: even left alone he could only have gone raging on till all was leveled again into a formless chaos. And yet even so he would have been defeated, because it would still have ‘existed’, independent of his own mind, and a world in potential. They hate the great and the beautiful because they can't create anything great or beautiful. So they have to corrupt and destroy what they can't outright control.

>>86302 I think looking at it that way, that's the only way you can really "leave your mark" on the legacy you've been given. Because if you're some hack who just got dumped into the shoes of an established legacy, and you know the best you could probably amount to is falling short of what the original is, the only way to actually leave a mark is using the fact that the company you now work for owns the IP and that gives you carte blanche to do whatever, so let's do whatever. Doesn't matter if it makes sense or actually adds or removes to the legacy, just that it generated buzz. I'm far from a star wars fan, my involvement with the franchise starts and ends at the gendy animated show, Battlefront 2, Empire at War and Dark Forces 2. But really what have the new movies added to the legacy besides killing off original characters for shock value? It's that kind of mindset I can see in a lot of these remakes and reboots and whathaveyous. I know shit all about doctor who but all I know of the recent one is that people hated the fuck out of it and it made big legacy changes to the backstory of the character, basically hamfisting an OC into a lore or something similar. Likewise with Star Trek.

>>86303 Is it really worth living & being remembered forever in infamy than not being remembered at all?

>>86304 It doesn't matter since you'll be dead either way but some people like the idea of being talked about at least.

>>86304 >Is it really worth living & being remembered forever in infamy than not being remembered at all? FDR would agree with you

>>86304 Can you really consider this being "remembered" if that shit will be forgotten in a year, and the following content will distance itself from you? I other words the current Terminator/Alien/Predator dilemma.

>>86307 Woke shit flopping doesn't mean the mistakes won't forever be a stain on history. You still remember Ghostbusters 2016 happened.

>>86308 >You still remember Ghostbusters 2016 happened Do I? Or did it get brought up because there's a new iteration distancing itself from that and the media shitflingers can't find anything else to write about the new movie?

>>86307 >the current Terminator/Alien/Predator dilemma The what now?

>>86309 Perhaps.

>>86304 Well...

>>86310 This idea that since Aliens, Terminator 2 and Predator 2 every single movie attached to any of those franchises decides to act as if everything post those movies do not exist and that this is a new new new sequel, and those other bad ones don't exist and should not be mentioned or brought up. Really hilarious seeing something like Terminator Genysis fuck around with the timelines and have a scene where someone says "You're a relic from a deleted timeline" and then the movie bombs and sucks so hard the next one decides that nothing after T2 existed. And then that one also bombed and sucked so hard(and to bring up the shock value argument, kills off Jhon Conner and Skynet in favor of mexican girl who can't act and literally Skynet with a different name, that's them "making their mark") I guarentee you if there's a next one it'll also pretend like nothing beyond T2 existed and start off its own continuity, and so on. I was wrong to put Aliens there because for some reason Prometheus was actually followed up on. Also I'm sorry if I'm shitting up the thread with what's basically movie ranting, this is something I've had some time to stew on since I've been listening to some podcasts while playing vidya on those subjects.

>>86164 Some extra information I found out about recently might explain the videogame/ect. time limit or ban. In China there is apparently a movement called 'lying flat', what it means is to work just enough to live instead of the 996 (9am to 9pm 6 days a week). This is primarily affecting the young demographic currently (around out of highschool/collage age). The main thing they do is play videogames all day and have takeout and only work to get money to fund that lifestyle, which is generally about 1 day of work for 2-3 days of play. Now the time limit on playing videogames and crackdown of other avenues will only have the opposite effect since now their money will last longer than 2-3 days due to less spending. Also China has apparently been having weirdness out the ass for the past few months. Snow in the middle of Summer, chinese view this as a sign of a great injustice from the heavens of the ruling party doing something (chinese media didn't report on it). Power problems out the ass that will only get worse because of winter and dumbass chink moves. Semi-freak weather with on average chicken egg sized hail which happened in various locations (2 so far) and one going on for about 30 minutes. A freak tornado (chinese in area said once in a hundred years). A tunnel collapse. A leaking nuclear power plant, so odds are the others are leaking as well.

Today marks the 95th anniversary of the very first Pooh book published.

>>86321 I also forgot a literal Black Swan landing in Tiananmen square on its anniversary and it refusing to leave.

>>86321 >The main thing they do is play videogames all day and have takeout and only work to get money to fund that lifestyle, which is generally about 1 day of work for 2-3 days of play. I can most definitely see the appeal of this, to be honest. As much as I find myself pushing not to be complacent and learn as much as I can from my work for the future there's always this part of me that kind of wants to do the bare minimum just to get paid and keep myself content doing whatever hobby. I think the issue here is one of overcorrection, this idea that people find themselves unfulfilled with anything but a hobby so instead of actually providing something that they could find fulfilling, they decide "okay let's push to remove what they find fun in their free time and that will totally make them spend that free time doing what we deem productive and constructive instead of just finding something else to occupy their time because the root issue was not addressed". >A leaking nuclear power plant Which one is this? I'd like to research this further. >>86323 Oh yeah this also had the whole 20 something of this October being chosen as the big meme date when the CCP's going to collapse or have something happened to it?

>>86324 Unless they fucked up another one, I'm pretty sure it's the one the French warned a few months ago. >1 day of work for 2-3 days of play <996 (9am to 9pm 6 days a week) Is it even a choice here?

>>86325 Holy fuck it's 9 to 9? I misread it as 9 am to 6 pm. No choice there at all, what the fuck.

>>86324 >inb4 jewtube Saw it in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzeuDZ6qnZA around the 14-15 minute mark. Since it involves corruption of a high ranking official, poor construction due to corruption, and massive cover up then odds are quite good other chinese nuclear power plants are leaking. >>86325 from what I could gather, the 996 only applies if you have a permanent job. Hence the people are only temporary/transitory workers. The job market over in china apparently has gotten bad enough that the Bosses of the company (looks like heavy industry/textiles) are in the streets with booths to try to recruit workers, they can't find any permanent workers and barely any temporary. This is due to the jobs being low paying since the returns on the industry is low so no one wants to work them. Chinese governments brilliant plan is to increase the workforce for said jobs thus decreasing the wage for said jobs, and how is this going to work?

>>86308 There's a new Ghostbusters movie coming out next month btw. I'm sick and tired of hollywood's obsession with overusing CGI.

>>86328 I'm sick and tired of hollywood's obsession with negress love interests and miscegenation.

>>86329 >You sure all this race mixing will help us sell movies? >Movies?

>>86273 >But she sounds equally a little out of sorts. she had a very rough start in life, her father almost beat her to death (for crying and just being a baby). she was badly staved and malnourished because the quack doctors didn't realize she was born with ankyloglossia (tongue tied). her mother refused to breastfeed her and instead gave her formula, however she was allergic to the formula causing her extreme, itching and very painful constipation. this made her scream and cry almost constantly, I was tipped-off by a family friend and then asked to intervene. I brought in my own (non-quack) doctor after that she got way better. instead of anyone thanking me (or my doctor) I was accused of "destroying my sister's marriage". my doctor investigated the bruising/other marks on my niece. Father (who now lives in Canada with a new girlfriend) made a deal to pay massive support fees (with money from his wealthy parents) but only if he gave up his rights and agreed to treatment. Fast forwarded to me packing up my hotel room to take the train back home and my (drunk) sister barges in screaming at me for “ruining her life” and admits she only gave birth to my niece to keep that shitty guy in her life (a bit like how my mother marred my own father for money). And the kicker, that I didn't deserve to breathe the same air as her... because I was just a lowly useless “half brother” and barely even counted as a family member. Told her I hope she and hubby find each other again (while rotting in hell). Peace out, take my train home. 48 hours later I’m back on my turf, pretended the last few months were just a bad dream. Don’t hear a peep from anyone for a few years. Until one day I get a letter in the mail… and you know the rest of the story. >Guard your semen don't worry, I intend to become a full fledged wizard, and then possibly an elder lich. >>86279 if only life were that easy senpai, like a Japanese anime... or pc98 eroge I am a bit worried about how she'll end up. if she sticks to my teachings (doubtful) I'd hope she would end up with a nice trad-weeb. or she might end up alone like me (unlikely as she's a cute female) or nightmare mode... finds herself only attracted to complete scumbags like her mother (please god no!). she does have questions about sexual topics. sometimes I wonder if she knows more then she's letting on and just asks me because she enjoys my viable discomfort. all my children's psy books point to her being "fairly" normal. >>86292 everything from Netflix is bad, why would this be any different? >>86313 media companies turn every good idea to garbage. this is happening with video games too. >In China there is apparently a movement called 'lying flat' I think this is a good thing. men in general need to stop participating in any society that seeks to de-power them or enslave them (in this case its both). >>86328 I'm sure its going to be better then 2016, but that's not a very high bar. >>86329 >>86330 >its all so tiresome.gif

>>86331 >sometimes I wonder if she knows more then she's letting on and just asks me because she enjoys my viable discomfort. Have you checked under her bed if there's ecchi books about little girls teasing their teacher or older men?

>>86328 That doesn't actually look that bad. And if there's any movie for overdone CGI, it's Ghostbusters. The only thing that gets me is that the music is over the top for a cheesy kids movie and the kids look a little hipsterish but whatever. I don't >consume product, as in I don't watch movies at all, but if I did and I was in the mood for it I'd be willing to sit down and watch it and not feel bad about it.

>>86328 >I'm sick and tired of hollywood's obsession with overusing CGI. What about the blue/orange tint all over the films? What about rehashing stories, characters and plot points from 40 year old movies? What about forced diversity? What about forcing reference after reference to pop culture? >>86341 >That doesn't actually look that bad Here you have the retard

>>86323 >I also forgot a literal Black Swan landing in Tiananmen square on its anniversary and it refusing to leave. I wonder if that swan was a CIA black op to fuck with their heads. Back before the internet made all of their many fuckups front page news on an almost daily basis, they still had that air of being almost supernaturally on top of shit. That and I think it's funny to imagine a bunch of CIA ops with very serious expressions standing around in a warehouse trying to train a fucking sawn into being a sleeper agent. It's not like they aren't pulling absurd "out of the box" shit like that all the time. But, I guess that would require them not being in Beijing's pocket.

>>86343 >I think it's funny to imagine a bunch of CIA ops with very serious expressions standing around in a warehouse trying to train a fucking sawn into being a sleeper agent See it's shit like this that would make for great comedy movies but if it would be written by the current year there would be a fuckton of quipping and self aware "pause for laughter" moments and the actors going WOAAH ISN'T THIS A KOOKY WEIRD SITUATION WE'RE IN, YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE IT FUNNY IF WE VERY SLOWLY AND IN GREAT DETAIL SPELL OUT EVERY SINGLE WEIRD AND ODD ASPECT OF THIS SITUATION WE'VE FOUND OURSELVES IN

>>86340 I've cleaned her room recently, nothing like that... but I have found other strange stuff, and I have a hunch one of the newer girls at school (that that I have't had a chance to meet) has told her stuff about masturbation >>86341 yeah, but it also doesn't look that great either. not to mention the first trailer with the "stranger things" vibe was really off putting. only thing good about this so far its pissing off all 2016 movie stans and fakes that only care about that lgbt trainwreck of a movie. >>86343 >But, I guess that would require them not being in Beijing's pocket. and being rotten to the core with incompetent tranny socialists. >>86344 don't movies that are "too real" for the audience usually bomb?

>>86345 >yeah, but it also doesn't look that great either. not to mention the first trailer with the "stranger things" vibe was really off putting. only thing good about this so far its pissing off all 2016 movie stans and fakes that only care about that lgbt trainwreck of a movie. I vaguely recall it had another trailer but I don't remember the trailer itself at all.

>>86345 >don't movies that are "too real" for the audience usually bomb? I don't want something that's too real, I want something like Police Squad or Hot Fuzz where the characters in those movies somewhat take the situations they're placed in seriously and aren't so self assured that what's happening is so funny that they have to break the fourth wall or improv and break the pacing of scenes just drop a turd of a self aware joke.

>>86346 it wasn't great. didn't even look like it had anything to do with ghostbusters till the very end tittle came up. even the new kids look like understudies for stranger shit "punch a nazi" un-creative "hey remember that spooky 80's thing you liked?" trash. (from Netflix!!!). >>86347 ok, I think I get what you mean. >Hot Fuzz even those guys can't seem to put out anything good lately. what the fuck?

>>86338 Are you telling me those little spooks are supposed to be Gozer?

But now they can have 1000 marshmallow mans to sell to the little kids and turning it into a baby yoda or yar yar binks. CG use for the past 20 years have been nothing but quantity over quality.

>>86350 You know it's like the matrix, sure agent smith in the first movie was a really credible threat but in the sequels Neo fights like a billion agent smiths so it's better because there's more of him. That's how it works, right?

>>86349 Might be, the game basically stated once you pick a destructor form you are stuck with it, so every time Gozer decides to pop out, it can ONLY be Stay Puft.

>>86347 Self-Awareness is fine for parody, but it ruins absurdity. There's a reason why so many great comedy duos are a pairing of a straight-man and a goofball. You need to establish a tone and rules for the world or setup they're creating, and the comedy comes from the goofball or absurd situation breaking it - often without their knowledge, or to their dismay, and having to keep rolling with it. Maybe I'm not explaining that clearly, but you need to grow a child into a proper gentleman before you can kick him in the balls and throw a pie in his face. There needs to be setup for a payoff, and most movies these days are just strings of one-liners and situational "comedy" that's not meaningful in order to string together the CGI events that foreign audiences who don't understand english will enjoy. Leslie Nielsen was one of those rare examples of a guy who could play both the goofball and the straight man simultaneously and pull it off.

>>86351 Or how in the revised versions of the original Star wars trilogy they add a bunch of pointless cg shit to the original scenes just because they can.

>>86353 I think I'm not explaining myself well and I'm sorry for that. Compare these two webms, in the Naked Gun one it feels like an absurd take on a situation that's still taken somewhat seriously by the characters, that makes it funny. In the Peacemaker one they might as well be people reacting to a movie trailer going WOAH IS THAT A BALD EAGLE ISN'T THAT UNUSUAL AND WEIIIIRD RIGHT GUUUYS, LOL YOU NAMED YOUR EAGLE EAGLE-Y THAT'S SO STUPID DO YOU NAME YOUR DICK DICKY HA HA ISN'T THAT SO FUNNY, I doubt anyone talks like that and instead of taking something that progresses the story and having it be an absurd scenario that's still taken seriously, this is the equivalent of the director hitting pause, turning to actors and going "okay, drop this quip or joke around for a bit, great, okay resume story".

>>86164 >Swedish video game companies affected by the Chinese gaming ban. good, fuck those cucks. same to anyone else on the take from the chinese. >Eric Sprinchorn says. the Chinese video game restriction will inspire European countries to make similar restrictions. I wonder why that would be... >>86166 woke-tards complain about Virtual Cockfighting, but will shill Pokemon crap all day everyday without a hint of irony. >>86172 the same people also think its cool to kill babies so...

>>86355 It would be good writting if Peacemaker killed them all and wait for some actual good caretakers or whatever they are. People should know that costumed people can wear whatever they can because they just can, and can kill you if you say otherwise.

ResetEra gaming forum sold for $4.5 million https://archive.is/nXOU1 >ResetEra, one of the biggest online gaming and community forums, has been acquired by MOBA Network for $4.55 million. No changes to the forum's operational and moderating teams will be made. >$3.55 million of that has been paid in cash, and the remaining $1 million will be paid by December 31. ResetEra makes money through ad sales, and subscriptions to remove said ads. According to the press release announcing the acquisition, the business made $700,000 in sales over the last year. >MOBA Network is looking to introduce new ad formats, and up the share of direct ad sales, with an eye on massive growth in 2022. >ResetEra is publically accessible by anyone, but places big restrictions on new memberships. It only has around 55,000 members, but 45 million forum posts from its engaged community. These membership requirements will remain. >MOBA Network is a Swedish media company that owns a number of websites and online communities, including Mobafire.com, Dotafire.com, Smitefire.com, Owfire.com, Leaguespy.net and a few others. It also runs a YouTube network - Union For Gamers (UFG) - which manages over 1,000 creators. >ResetEra was established in 2017 as the new home of NeoGaf members, previously one of the biggest gaming forums in the world. Sexual misconduct allegations against its owner kicked off a mass exodus, with many of NeoGaf's core members leaving to establish ResetEra, with an emphasis diversity and inclusivity.

‘Ghost Recon Frontline’: Ubisoft postpones battle royale’s closed test just a week after its announcement >Ubisoft announced a new “Ghost Recon” game last week, but it was not what fans have been requesting for years. Following a wave of negative feedback on the new battle royale project, the company has now postponed its closed beta test for an indefinite period. >The announcement was posted through the official “Ghost Recon Frontline” Twitter page on Wednesday, telling fans that Ubisoft decided to Closed Test. The developer did not provide a new schedule, suggesting that the postponement might last indefinitely. >Ubisoft did not give a specific reason for the postponement. The company only said, “The development team is dedicated to creating the best experience possible.” >But it would not be surprising if the decision was made after fans met the battle royale game’s announcement with negative feedback. Many fans have been saying that “Ghost Recon Frontline” is not the kind of “Ghost Recon” game they were asking from Ubisoft. >Unlike the announcement of “Ghost Recon Frontline,” the statement about the Closed Test’s postponement was met with relief and further suggestions that Ubisoft should just cancel the battle royale project and deliver something like the older “Ghost Recon” titles. >The situation also made it apparent that the players are still hoping to see a new title that has similar elements to “Ghost Recon: Wildlands.” >Aside from the negative comments on various online platforms, the underwhelming welcome to “Ghost Recon Frontline” can also be seen in the likes and dislikes of its trailers on YouTube. The eight-minute full announcement video has garnered 19,000 dislikes and only 5,000 likes after a week. >The game’s reveal trailer on Ubisoft North America’s channel has more than 17,000 dislikes and over 4,000 likes only. >Based on how the latest statement was worded, though, it does not look like Ubisoft is scrapping the development of “Ghost Recon Frontline” altogether. The company added that it will share more information, including a new date for the start of the Closed Test, in the future. The game’s official page on the Ubisoft website remains active as well. “Ghost Recon Frontline” is designed as a free-to-play tactical-action game with massive PvP shooter elements set in the “Ghost Recon” universe. <Ubisoft also said it will feature an “advanced class system and large set of tactical support tools.” https://archive.ph/SEeQW Yu-Gi-Oh Launches New Campaign Geared Towards Gen-Z >Yu-Gi-Oh has been around for decades at this point, and the franchise is still as popular as ever. From its trading cards to its latest anime, Yu-Gi-Oh has lots backing it up even after all these years. >Still, the franchise remains a nostalgic sweet spot for fans, and Konami wants to bring new lifeblood into the community. So as it turns out, Yu-Gi-Oh is launching a promo campaign with Gen-Z in mind. >Not long ago, Konami confirmed this sort of campaign is in the works. The team says it is partnering with new industries to market itself to Gen-Z, and this focused campaign marks the anime's first pitch to the up-and-coming generation. >Today's youth are edgy, expressive, and bold in their fashion statements. These new collaborations will entertain our fans while providing a creative and authentic way to express themselves and their affection for the Yu-Gi-Oh brand," Jennifer Coleman, Vice President, Licensing and Marketing at Konami Cross Media, shared with fans in a new statement. >As Yu-Gi-Oh prepares to celebrate its 25th Anniversary, we believe that the franchise needs to cover a broader swath in the market and these new deals will allow a generation of young adult fans to interact with the brand in ways that have never before been possible." >With Gen-Z in mind, Yu-Gi-Oh is partnering with tons of brands to make its new collections pop. Hypland, Madrid Skatebboards, PSD Underwear, and Tuned in Tokyo are just some of the licensing deals on the horizon. Everything from clothes to decor and accessories will be pushed to Gen-Z in the next year. <So if you see new faces pop up in the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom, don't be too surprised! https://archive.ph/OeLXG

>>86380 Some anons I knew from back in the 8chan days when we had that gmod server and raided DarkRP and played some Zombie Master invited me to their discord but I was soon after kicked out because I kept giving them shit for using discord. So yes, I assume the rumor is true that many anons migrated to fragmented discord communities

>>86313 >This idea that since Aliens, Terminator 2 and Predator 2 every single movie attached to any of those franchises decides to act as if everything post those movies do not exist and that this is a new new new sequel, and those other bad ones don't exist and should not be mentioned or brought up. You do realize that, in the case of Terminator, that's only happening because the third and fourth film are about the actual war rather allowing for time-travel shenanigans in the present day, right? There's nothing particularly wrong with them. It's just people were surprised that an actual post-apocalyptic war against machines was rather dry of a subject to depict, so to give the people "what they what" they have to refer to the first two films because the story "ended" with the third.

>>86368 Stop, stop! I can only get so erect!

>>86383 Kind of funny to think that while its decentralized communities, they're on a central server which can easily make a web of anon communities just by checking what servers people are mutually on.

>>86383 Gay. Discord sucks in isolation and so do people who use it, for obvious reasons. Everyone knows about the spying, that it isn't user controlled, etc. But more broadly, these chat programs such as Discord, Ventrilo, Teamspeak, IRC and all the others inevitably lead to cliques, ingroup bullshit, namefagging, drama and other cancers of internet communities. It's probably best if many of those people don't come back.

>>86384 Despite how lame the movie was I actually liked the idea of Salvation though, and that new vidya in the setting(Resistance) was pretty fucking cool so I find it a big shame personally.

>>86387 Well I can understand why they would want it for gaming, imageboards are as asynchronous as email. In fact you could probably just skin an electron email client and bounce messages to a server to anonymize you, and it'd be a budget imageboard.

>>86389 Yeah, voice chat is nice when you need to get group content done in a video game but not much else that lines up with the content of an imageboard. I guess you can dump hentai and fap together on video chat. In a totally straight way, of course.

Netflix Wants To Make A ‘Squid Game’ Video Game <Netflix’s new most popular show in its history is Squid Game, a series where contestants play children’s games until only one of them is left alive. >Netflix has previously announced they want to get into the video game industry and publish games within their app based on their original series. >In a new, rather fantastic interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix’s Minyoung Kim, VP of Content for Asia Pacific, has confirmed that yes, Netflix’s new interest in gaming has branched into an interest into turning Squid Game into a video game: >We’ve been getting an overwhelming but happy volume of requests from the organization — from the consumer product department, from the gaming group, from our other international teams. >My team’s role is to really look at all of those opportunities together, to create that roadmap for the Squid Game IP. >We are looking at multiple different areas — from games, consumer product, and others — to really figure out what we can bring to our audiences to increase their affinity towards our content and give them more joy, while staying true to the world that our creator has built.” >When Squid Game originally debuted, I watched it on maybe day 2 of its release, before it was a “thing” and compared it to an adult version of Fall Guys, the recently popular video game where colorful characters play rounds of different games that eliminate them until only one is left standing. >It’s a spin on a longstanding craze in gaming, the “battle royale” genre which was originally inspired by the classic Japanese film, Battle Royale, where schoolchildren are forced to fight to the death on an island. It’s something that was also inspiration for Squid Game itself, so we have come full circle. >While it’s easy to imagine how Squid Game could work as an actual video game, we…don’t actually have to imagine. Games that allow custom-designed matches like Roblox and Fortnite have dozens of fan-created attempts at remaking Squid Game in those worlds. Netflix’s version of a Squid Game video game would be licensed, obviously, and yet Netflix’s gaming ambitions are so new, it’s hard to tell when this would actually be a released product, and what form it would take. >Netflix’s initial foray into gaming here has heavy implications that it would be more along the lines of mobile game scope and quality, rather than PC or console type games, so they could be played within the Netflix mobile app. This aligns with past games we’ve already seen from them like Stranger Things, a throwback classic. >So no, when Netflix does make a Squid Game video game, I would not expect to see HoYeon Jung doing performance capture for a AAA blockbuster release or anything. >Think small scale, think mobile-friendly. This is kind of the perfect blend between Netflix’s new ambitions for gaming and one of its most successful IPs, and would be an ultimate test of the concept of the service making moves in that space. >But for now, this remains a goal, not an imminently released title, and maybe we’ll be talking more about this when Squid Game season 2 hits, as for now, it seems very, very far off if we’re still in the early planning stages for something like this. >Hopefully they can do it justice, and make something half as good as what Roblox and Fortnite have already produced within weeks. https://archive.ph/iAFCk FIFA wants to charge EA Sports $1 billion to use video game name >The reason EA is planning to change the name of the FIFA games has been revealed: FIFA want to charge them twice as much to use their name. >Considering FIFA 22 has proven an even faster seller than last year’s game, it was a bit of a shock to hear that EA is thinking of changing the name in the future. >They’ve already registered the name EA Sports FC but so far they’ve not revealed why they would want to do such a thing – although it was always pretty obvious that either they or FIFA were asking for more money. >It turns out that it’s the former, with a report in The New York Times revealing that FIFA want more than double the amount of money EA usually pays to use their name and licences, while also limiting how much they can use it outside of video games. >FIFA wants more than $1 billion for the right to use its name for four years, covering a single World Cup cycle – which is more than twice what EA currently pays them. Not only that but FIFA wants to limit the licence solely to traditional video games, whereas EA wants it to include game highlights, video game tournaments, and NFTs. >FIFA also wants to be able to sell its name and licences to other video games that aren’t sports titles, with The New York Times mentioning Fortnite – although it’s not clear whether that’s just a theoretical example or something that FIFA is already looking into. >Given these demands EA’s contingency plans for a new name make perfect sense, especially as most of the licences for clubs, players, and stadia come from elsewhere, such as player’s union FIFPro – which it signed a new deal with this week, to continue to use real player’s faces in future games. >The only thing EA would really lose, other than the name FIFA, is the World Cup, which is all part of the same FIFA licence and couldn’t be included in a new game, whatever it was called, without working out a new deal. >The arrangement with EA is apparently FIFA’s most lucrative commercial agreement, so if everything falls through the organisation could be in real financial trouble. Gamers probably don’t care what the game’s called but with the current licensing deal due to end after next year’s World Cup in Qatar it may be that FIFA 23 never happens. https://archive.ph/AlGhd

>>86380 A bunch of fags I knew from 8chan ended up in discord communities. Even when I told them about the bunkers + this place, they seemed too complacent at that point to want to change anything. They likely won't care until discord randomly gives them the boot like they enjoy doing. It really is sad.

Trans employees and allies at Netflix are planning a walkout in protest of co-CEO Ted Sarandos' comments regarding Dave Chappelle's new special, "The Closer," >As reported by The Verge, a leader of the streamer's trans employee resource group wrote the following in a message to members: "Trans Lives Matter. Trans Rights Matter. And as an organization, Netflix has continually failed to show deep care in our mission to Entertain the World by repeatedly releasing content that harms the Trans community and continually failing to create content that represents and uplifts Trans content. We can and must do better!" >Netflix's Most Twitter account dedicated to LGBTQ content posted Wednesday, "We can't always control what goes on screen. What we can control is what we create here, and the POV we bring to internal conversations." On Monday, Variety reported that Sarandos had defended Chappelle's special, which has been accused of containing transphobic and homophobic content, in a memo to staff. >"Chappelle is one of the most popular stand-up comedians today, and we have a long standing deal with him. His last special 'Sticks & Stones,' also controversial, is our most watched, stickiest and most award winning stand-up special to date," Sarandos wrote. " >As with our other talent, we work hard to support their creative freedom — even though this means there will always be content on Netflix some people believe is harmful." >Dave Chappelle's specials are consistently the most-watched comedy specials on Netflix, and have earned many awards, including both an Emmy and a Grammy for 'Sticks & Stones,'" a Netflix spokesperson said. <We support artistic expression for our creators. We also encourage our employees to disagree openly." >Shortly after Sarandos' memo, three employees were suspended for crashing an executive meeting, including Terra Field, who identifies as trans and queer and had criticized Chappelle's special on Twitter. >According to Netflix, Field was not suspended due to her tweets, but for attending the meeting uninvited. On Tuesday, it was announced that the employees had been reinstated after finding that they did not join the meeting with any ill intent. https://archive.ph/wfY5S Is Big Tech Responsible for Potential Hollywood Strike? >While big tech companies invest in their streaming content, Hollywood also faces a possible strike from its casts and crews that could crash the entire system. >The issue could even grind Hollywood production to a halt, as streaming’s rise and the pandemic flare tensions across the industry. What happens next hinges on how a crucial labor battle plays out in the coming days and weeks between behind-the-scenes workers and some of the most powerful corporations on the planet. >The union behind the workers who operate cameras, dress actors, build sets and clean toilets — the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) — will vote over the weekend on whether to authorize a strike amid protracted contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Some of the biggest names in tech, including Apple, Netflix and Amazon (which bought MGM), have a seat at the table alongside AMPTP’s major studios. That means their lawyers sit opposite of IATSE union members in negotiations over pay and working conditions. IATSE President Matt Loeb also drew attention to the long work hours that often push 14 hours. >We are united in demanding more humane working conditions across the industry, including reasonable rest during and between workdays and on the weekend, equitable pay on streaming productions, and a livable wage floor,” Loeb said. >Part of the IATSE’s desired amendments includes increased pay for streaming projects, which are not required to pay “full price” like traditional theatrical and television projects. <Reportedly, it was within Apple’s legal rights to trim the paychecks of behind-the-scenes workers. >AMPTP says that they do not want to be forced to pay our pension plan fair residuals on streaming because it is an ‘experiment’ (their words). An unproven revenue stream. Which, lmao, maybe they didn’t watch the Emmys,” Ian Edwards, a digital imaging technician in IATSE Local 600, told dot.LA about the Emmys overwhelming focus on streaming content. >A 2nd assistant camera operator named Andy Kennedy-Derkay noted that streaming series often require more expertise and longer hours to shoot than traditional TV series. “>The Mandalorian’ as an experimental streaming property, can be much harder than working on ‘Two and a Half Men’ on stage, which pays proper residuals,” Kennedy-Derkay said. “It’s just ludicrous to think of things this way – as if we are shooting a web series, when we are making the most expensive television shows ever produced.” >Todd Holmes points out that the top streaming content—for example, Netflix Originals—offers little opportunity for any secondary market payout. >One of the issues with streaming is there really isn’t that natural second market there,” Todd Holmes, assistant professor of entertainment media management at California State University, Northridge, told dot.LA. >So in terms of residuals, there’s really not a structure set in place right now for people that are members of IATSE to get any kind of money, because a lot of these things are Netflix originals. That’s a problem. >The data is there. Netflix and everything, they keep their information very much under lock and key, but they have access to that information,” he added. “They know, certainly, the number of streams and they have a lot of consumer data, so there are ways to determine the residuals. <It’s just so far the AMPTP, they haven’t wanted to include that in part of the equation.” <AMPTP noted that a strike would result in many jobless IATSE members. >A strike will have a devastating impact on the industry and inevitably will result in thousands of IATSE members losing their income, failing to qualify for health insurance benefits, jeopardizing funding for the pension plan and disrupting production,” AMPTP told Deadline. <Despite AMPTP’s warnings, Kennedy-Derkay said that the strike would motivate change. >Do I think it’ll work? Yeah I think it’ll work. And I think that in all likelihood when push comes to shove, if they decide to allow us to strike, they are going to get a wake-up call of what a powerful union can do and I think it will blow up in their face,” Kennedy-Derkay said. >We’re used to going through hard times,” he added. “Crew members go through hard times every time they accept a job. The people who work for 70 hours a week for eight months, who don’t see their families, whose health and mental well being crumbles — they make incredible films and television and they show up every single day and give their 100% to craft the vision of the people they’re collaborating with. >We know how to grind. We would much rather grind at a stage than at a picket line. But I have tremendous confidence that we will stand strong.” >We aren’t asking for the world. We want fair wages and a safe and healthy working environment,” Salvador Perez, president of the Costume Designers Guild, told Variety. “The studios need us… We should be treated as a valuable asset — a partner, not a cog in the system.” https://archive.ph/Bz0tS

>>86388 Have you also played the vidya that was a tie-in to Salvation? Haven't played enough of the arcade game to really attest to it's quality, but the console game was a fun romp for me (Though, it's your standard Gears of War clone, so mileage may vary). >>86396 But, Friends was shit too. The only 90's comedy that I know of that is actually decent is Wings.

>>86391 >Netflix Wants To Make A ‘Squid Game’ Video Game Too bad roblox beat them to it.

>>86396 Both equally shit. You forget that Friends was mocked just as much for relying on laugh tracks as a crutch as Treblinka Theory is.

There is a Tolkien Estate that owns the rights to it, and Christopher was getting annoyed because the estate had been (((subverted))) and just wanted to sell out and give out licences so they could get rich but Christopher was trying to keep his father's work intact and they didn't like that he wasn't selling out so he basically just said "fuck it" and walked away a few years ago. And now we have Lord of the Rangs with skin-tone appropriate burglars.
