Btw I’m still waiting on his long teased exposé on the chaos going on at 343i. Oh… wait… Halo Infinite is a critical acclaimed GOTY winner? Guess that killed that narrative for your big piece.

I mean, being critical acclaimed doesnt mean that the studio didnt struggle to get the game out. As I heard, it seem that the game cut a lot of content in the single player side.

Jason still sucks, I agree.

Apparently the site-wide banner trying to get people to participate in GOTY voting isn't getting enough interest, because they just hit everyone with this alert:
(Image removed from quote.)

So on track to be 2/2 for underwhelming responses to the GOTY poll after they made GOTY voting a pain in the ass? This is actually getting people to vote, although the mass-alert means some people just post without reading the rules.

:confused

but just a temporary notification at the top of the page is enough notice to get people to realise the site has just been sold the GOTY voting is currently happening I was told

The problem was your dismissal of a Muslim woman being fired from her job for racist reasons as a non issue.

Nobody has any reason to care whether you agree with her decision to work there in the first place. That has value as part of a wider discussion, sure, and I would argue nobody should be supporting them, but that is not relevant to this topic at all.
Quote
The fact they are openly racist is not a surprise at all.
A resounding "meh" because of this outcome is not unexpected or surprising.

I had to hold my tongue this Christmas when my mum, a proud tory who works for the NHS, was complaining about the fact she hasn't had a payrise. The obvious and easy answer is not to support the openly racist, openly corrupt lying pieces of filth but that's what this lady did and it ended up not working out for her for obvious reasons.
Quote
Of course, but your mum deserves a pay rise just like the woman in the OP deserves to be treated with basic respect and judged on her ability to do her job. They may be going about receiving it in a less than ideal way that makes the outcome unsurprising, but that this is an issue at all is still something that should make us mad at the tories (IMO)

it’s a good point though and my previous post was maybe a bit hasty

Things are getting restless in the community feedback thread:

Quote from: Maledict
Not to be too negative. But this thread is 100+ pages of a lack of responses, commitments made that were never followed up on, and silence. It’s happened since the thread was created. It’s not a dialogue, it’s effectively a dumping ground to isolate complaints that otherwise would turn up in the main forums.

It’s not a new thing unfortunately that there hasn’t been a response. There almost never is, and when there is it’s generally a promise of action that never materialises.

Quote from: kmfdmpig
It certainly seems like deliberate silence at this point. B-Dubs was pinged multiple times about this with no response despite lots of other posts by them. With that said, I don't particularly care beyond just a curiosity of why some public figures seem protected while others don't.

it's efforts like these that help preserve culturally significant things

and when people see/play digital experiences like this, maybe it inspires them to to contribute to projects like these, or even physical preservation of history

https://superjumpmagazine.com/are-video-games-the-key-to-rebuilding-notre-dame-9d74234853c0

Quote
Assassin’s Creed is a renound series of role-playing games which, as the name suggests, offer players the chance to explore narratives as a deadly assassin. Why is this relevant? As it turns out, the eighth installment of the series — Assassin’s Creed Unity — takes place in Paris during the French Revolution — and features a painstakingly detailed, 3D recreation of Notre Dame.

The term “painstaking” isn’t used lightly here. Ubisoft staff historian Maxime Durand dedicated a full four years of work into overseeing historical representations in Unity; his team spent well over 5,000 hours researching every detail of the cathedral. This intensity was, as Durand described in a recent interview for Business Insider, motivated by gameplay necessities. When roleplaying as an assassin, players often need to sneak, run, and climb over buildings to achieve goals.

“Because this is ‘Assassin’s Creed,’ players are able to climb over and go everywhere on the monument, so we have to make sure that the details would be well done.” Durand explained, “Because [Notre Dame Cathedral] was the most iconic monument that we had for ‘Assassin’s Creed Unity,’ obviously we really wanted to put in all the efforts to make sure that it was really, really beautiful but also representative of the monument.”

It’s fair to say that the researchers and designers achieved that goal; level artist Caroline Misousse recently told The Verge that she spent two years modeling the cathedral inside and out, poring over photos to capture the architecture and working with texture artists to hone in on the unique quality of the stone. At one point, she even collaborated with historians to determine which paintings might have hung on the walls at the time. As a result, Unity’s version of Notre Dame is nearly identical to the real building.

https://mashable.com/article/google-open-heritage-historical-sites-3d-rendering

Quote
In 2003, the percentage of threatened world heritage sites reached an all time high at 5 percent. That percentage holds today, as additional threatened sites were added to UNESCO's endangered list; in its most recent report, UNESCO classified 54 of 1,092 world heritage sites as "in danger." That imbues the work of digital preservationists with a sense of urgency.

Digital preservation works by layering extremely high resolution photos on top of 3D scans captured by a laser measurement system called LIDAR. Using a LIDAR sensor enables preservationists to construct a 3D rendering that is accurate down to the millimeter.

The LIDAR scans and renderings of already impacted sites will now be included in the Open Heritage portal.

After a 2017 earthquake damaged the Mexico City Cathedral & Palace of Fine Arts, it asked CyArk to come in and document the site in case of a future disaster. CyArk flew a drone inside the cathedral to capture the nooks, crannies, and intricate artistry of a historical structure that's already seen damage, and that the government wants to protect.

"We have these relationships with different governments around the world, and we listen for them to tell us where they need help," Ristevski said.

watching porn reinforces shit views on sex, women and affection, can be addictive as fuck, supports sex trafficking and abuse of minors, but obviously 30~40 year old people on a videogame forum won't stop "supporting sex workers"

ERA: um, yes you asshole, that dog is family.

Am I an asshole for never speaking to the woman that birthed me, put a roof over my head and provided for me for 30+ years of my life because she leans conservative?

My biggest issue with this Neuralink technology is that it could give some people massive advantages playing online video games. Like, I don't mind it if it's accessible to everyone and not just something the richs can afford
:esports :gamer

Imagine reading about a possible neural brain link chip becoming reality and the first worry is "will this make online video games worse for me?". How myopic and utterly bereft of imagination do you have to be for that to be your first thought?

Two posters have pointed out that the YouTuber in the OP making this claim promotes CCP propaganda about the Uyghurs, the defenders (including a moderator who dismissed criticism of the YouTuber as "but yet you participate in society") have so far ignored this Sinophobia.

That they're continuing down this path for future Harry Potter content basically guarantees the cries to ban shit will never die down; they can't allow Hogwarts game hype without pissing off TransEra, and the tenuous link there (banning something because there are likely royalties from it going to someone who sucks, despite said person having apparently nothing to do with the product) is going to make other posters think more directly egregious stuff should be equally banned.
What if Sony were to nab Hogwart's Legacy as an exclusive? :hmm

"No, unlike the unrepentant white nationalist Sakurai, Sony cares too much about the rights of marginalized communities to be safe from violence to do harm to them like this."

this all boils down to no true Scotsman bullshit

"no TRUE liberal/leftist could possibly ever be comfortable enough to be middle-leaning"

if you're not FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE every day and going to every protest then you must be comfortable with the way things are on some level and are therefore moderate, which means you are conservative

begin with generally left-leaning views and by the end of the paragraph you're shaking hands with fascists

well shit I always believe my allies so I guess I'll embrace what I am

I don't see the problem? It's a silly, simple story where an old witch speaks in rhymes.

Has general N64 emulation been improved? I have that controller I bought and LOVE Banjo...I'd love an excuse to sub if they're making a college effort to improve this service. And I know this may not be the thread for it, but like, I remember people complaining about Mario Kart and OoT...Are those better than at release?
a month over not finding Banjo-Kazooie to be problematic :lol

Oh great another thread where someone just drops a video and an MLK with no original thoughts of their own and fucks off
Some people have shit to do during the day, the time of which may vary depending on where in the world you are.

As for ”lack of original thought”, I posted my own thoughts right there. In the OP. I am sorry that they are not ”original” enough for you.

fuck off with this bullshit, you're not on the clock to make a thread, and yes if youre making a thread its fucking entirely on you to put the effort in instead of just dropping it like a turd then going back to masturbating how you'll line them up against the wall or send them to the gulag if you ever get your way

I can't wait for that guy to get to Banjo-Tooie.

The pterodactyl character jokes about killing one of her kids after Kazooie hatches it, cause it's a fat one and won't fit in the nest. Rampant fatphobia.
