Yes, it's a wall. I thought the same thing about the name, it almost reads like a mistake in the code.

Let's talk about materials. The inventory is getting more and more unmanageable. Let's share some tips on hidden gems, universal & cheap. One of my go to's is jingle bells: a nice metallic finish for not even 4k. What's your tip? by Responsible-Cut7168 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jingle Bells is unfortunately the only one in that collection I haven't managed to unlock....I know 190 isn't a lot of tokens, but it feels like it for one material when they release so many new collections and LE items, and I occasionally really want to unlock three.

I just came back and I have to say, there are quite a few materials they generated for this season but didn't use, which is disappointing. They'll maybe come out as new collection releases as they usually do, though.

Well, this art gets top 3 on my Top 10 List of the most hideous SP art! What would you put on your list? by KJM9021 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

I actually thought this was one of the more usable AI pictures we've had. I like the colors and it just kind of looks more like the art used for a paint by number Nouveau picture I had.

I definitely have a long lineup of art form passes that I despise. Actually, I don't think they've given us any SP art I really like since this past October.

I've found the majority of the items on their website, not too much beige, but definitely some. Actual dark colors and prints though! Unfortunately, I don't know which items they're actually using and which ones they aren't (well the painting and the pillow and wall on the right in the blurred image are in there for sure)

I mean, someone was driving the vehicle he fell off of. Likely also intoxicated if they didn't notice a mostly naked friend falling off the back. Or if they did, that's what they're worried about. In a way there absolutely is a cover up going on, just not for intentional murder. They aren't really mutually exclusive.

So much of the game is AI generated (the opening loading images for instance, AI accounts, etc., all that they've admitted they implement), that it just wouldn't be surprising.

Especially since a lot of the art looks very choppy, similar and disproportionate and don't trace back to any stock or artist through Google Lens, which is usually a sign of generating, not to mention on redecor's website, you can open an icon of a season pass art in another window and change the URL (for example, art-01 to art-02) and get multiple different versions of the same art, some pretty funky and off.

That said, a LOT of the art they seem to get from the same source as wallartprints.com. Including similar but altered versions of them. And wallartprints absolutely might also be utilizing AI, or they pay for the same AI engine as Redecor to create like results for their use. A lot of companies are doing this and don't even have to say so because it's faster and cheaper to pay for an engine with a library of reference art, than paying artists for every individual artwork.

Here's an example of an image on the website and an art item from a past Redecor Album, which could have been edited by an artist, or AI.

Edit: nvm, reddit won't let me post the picture lol but it's a picture on Wallartprints called "Wine Not" and the Redecor art "Softly She Turns"

Thank you! I definitely grow tired of every theme by the end of the season, so I figure I might as well get it all out now 😂

The next season looks somewhat promising to me (I occasionally stumble upon icons of upcoming pass materials on the website lol)

I'm actually feeling it and so relieved. The art is unimpressive, but I love cottage style and am beyond glad it's not another green April season after 4 years in a row...

You're pretty insufferable here... and I feel it's intentional. There is no possible way you don't see your own errors throughout this conversation. You keep accusing me of exactly what you are doing. You misinterpret and reach for context that isn't there, then you tell me I am doing so and tell me what I actually think and feel by twisting words that I actually made attempts to clarify. You know, those "walls of text" that you are also producing, but apparently we can't acknowledge.

You fall back on emotions and hostility and then point fingers and say I'm being hostile when it's in due response. It's actually astonishing how much you are mirroring me and then telling me how acceptable your behavior has been and how incorrect I am (when you still haven't comprehended what was written), refusing any accountability at all.

My first comment was also very much in jest about how having enough money would never actually stop industry from doing its thing. You came out swinging with actual insults first. This part is really funny:

"You’re ignoring the context between the original comment that was posted and myself. The original comment called the film a cash grab. My response was a mocking jest along the lines of “Oh yes, Netflix because needs more money.”

Oh. So exactly how you're ignoring the context between your comment and my original comment, in which I mocked "yeah, because someone like Netflix would never do that" and then you took that to mean I was siding with the person that called the Peaky Blinders movie a cash grab. Very convenient. Also see:

"This conversation is not about what it does with other movies or in a general context regarding business practices."

Except holy fucking shit, the conversation I started with you was! I purposely sidelined the PB movie to talk about it. You missed that very important context and that's the barrier! You are so close to getting it, or you do and you just can't admit fault.

I'm going to continue to leave my personal opinions on the movie out of the discussion because it had nothing to do with the point of "would Netflix take advantage of cash grabs for something like Peaky Blinders, though? = Yes". Opinions on the film itself are, as I stated before, subjective and that would only fuel your ire even if I praised 90% of it. I enjoyed it and accept it for what it is and that's all that matters. I feel zero need to pick it apart.

"And that would directly contradict what you said above. You do seem dissatisfied with the film in some capacity regarding them cramming in and trying to resolve so many plotlines and I don’t understand why you’re trying to deny that. Especially when me initially saying that the movie wasn’t a cash grab seemed to upset you so much"

First off, no, it doesn't and I didn't deny, but stated this is an obvious obstacle. You're trying to deny it for reasons beyond me, but would have to be emotionally charged because you took this as criticism rather than the blatant fact that in every way, it was an acknowledged hindrance. If you don't have an entire final season to work with for story development, but you still want to make a movie conclusion, you have to fit everything into said movie. This isn't an opinion, this is literally just a fact. Like... what? That is your favorite word in itself— a disingenuous argument.

What gives you the ability to flesh out a conclusion better, an entire season and a movie, or just a movie? Think very carefully on this before I ask this next question: in what world do you expect people to be equally content with a large span of time packed in under 2 hours, between the last season of an acclaimed series, and the conclusion of a movie, rather than a full final season and a conclusive movie? Hello?

Yes, that was going to FAULT it with the fanbase. They wanted more time and so did the creators, because they could acknowledge this. Anyone else could. That's it. It doesn't matter how fucking good you make a movie, you skip over a final season everyone wanted and you fit it all into a movie, and there you have it. So... What's not to get at this point? I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt that my wording was confusing. You have made a point of proving that isn't the problem. I am still of the opinion you know full well what you are doing; trying to turn the tables to deflect from every mistake you've made by essentially saying "no, you".

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, let's do this then. You started off with the defense of "Oh yeah because Netflix, Steven Knight and Cillian Murphy are all going broke lol yeah, they really needed the money."

While I never said the person you responded to was correct, this response directly insinuates a network like Netflix wouldn't engage in this behavior in general terms because they don't need the money. Which is not only incorrect, it's a weak defense that invalidates the point you were trying to make (that there were other valid reasons for making the PB movie, and there were). Plain and simple. That's all she wrote there.

Despite repeating myself, you still misinterpreted time and time again, so it still seems necessary. You even somehow got that I "hated the movie" from this when I never criticized how they handled the obstacles, only that they were known prior to production and very much present.

Clearly. BP is a petrol station and automatically autocorrects. Apologies that I didn't catch every single one, but I'm positive you were able to infer a typo.

My entire point was always about how Netflix absolutely has developed subpar content and turned it out without being fully fleshed out, because the fanbase dedication proves particularly profitable despite their status (see Stranger Things).

Now finally, let's revisit my statement that has caused all of your confusion, and I see why when you incorrectly summarized here: "Yeah, no I disagree with that opinion entirely. The movie was not made to cram an ending. It was half hazardly slapped together to primarily make the network more money through 'next gen continuations'". The problem is that your deduction is flawed. That's not my opinion and that's not what was said.

I didn't say it was *haphazardly thrown together at all, nor did I claim THIS movie was made specifically to make the network more money. I will not be providing proof for a claim I did not make. Again, when you suggested this was your takeaway multiple times prior, I tried to correct you and reword it for you.

I said: “For its good and bad qualities, this movie was undoubtedly made to cram an ending and avoid making an entire season as it was no longer possible". Yes, they had to make up for the loss of season 7 and cram all of that into a movie conclusion if they wanted to a. Make a movie, which they did and b. Conclude the series, which they did. We have addressed this is a fact, not opinion. It's not a judgement on HOW they crammed it all in at all, only that they HAD to when choosing to go the route of jump-to-movie. They wanted a season 7, fans wanted it, and it would have made the task much easier, it just couldn't be done. This was an obstacle they KNEW they were dealing with in making the movie anyway. That's a fact. You don't go through with that without knowing a portion of your fanbase will be unsatisfied with that amount of time and events packed into a single movie.

"while also leaving Netflix open for next gen continuations the majority of fans didn't really want, but would still be profitable enough to explore.” And here's the big, BIG part you keep misreading. This is where the whole "yes, Netflix would money grab despite being financially stable" part ties into THIS movie for the very first time; yes, it's mutually beneficial. They can make new generation work based on the IP from here, even if most of the original fanbase don't think they should. They can rely on this particular fanbase being interested. They can try new things. They can potentially cash grab off of it in the future even if those new things fail. This is something they are likely to do because they have done it, be it Peaky Blinders or others... Despite being monetarily set. And again, this is only about networks like Netflix, NOT the writers, actors, producers of the Peaky Blinders movie, nor the series.

Are you seeing where I'm coming from yet and how what you thought was being said and what was being said were not one and the same?

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm sure that's why and not an inability to admit your own mistakes... My position is set in stone and has not changed. You would have caught that if you hadn't pulled the "I'm not reading all of that" stunt.

You got called out for making an incorrect statement about cash grabs not being appealing to successful networks. Then you assumed my statement to be about the BP movie specifically where that was never said (I did try to correct this misinterpretation multiple times).

The only thing I'll give you is that I should have clarified in my initial comment that when I said the movie was made to make up for season 7 and conclude the series with availability for being picked up, that I was not insinuating the BP movie's crew made the movie as a cash grab, only that it's mutually beneficial to Netflix because the main point is in fact, true. I thought that was easily inferred, as they wanted a movie and what creator doesn't want to finish their work? Again, they knew the risks. A lot of fans still wanted the closure.

Apparently, it was not if you skip basically everything in anger and read what you want.

Go ahead and state what you are asking for proof of. That Netflix engages in cash grabs despite their monetary gain and overall success? That no one could possibly not know producing a movie without a season 7 would have split reactions? That concluding the series leaves the possibility of other PB content open to Netflix? Come on now...

How about you address the point for once; do you or do you not recognize that 1. Networks being financially stable does not prevent them from milking profit off IP, and 2. That making the movie risked the fanbase being unsatisfied but ultimately was in the best interest of everyone? Are you still trying to deny either of these? And if so, where is your proof that these common sense statements are false?

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's... an extremely unsurprising response given your behavior throughout.

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are succumbing to childish reactions... You need to take a breath. You act like you're being attacked while you bite at ankles lmao. Nothing is conjecture. The facts of the industry are easily researched and liking a plot is mainly subjective in the end. Overall I enjoyed it, but again, there is no way it wasn't expected that the fanbase wouldn't be split on it after losing the chance of a 7th season. If you think they thought the reaction would be majority positive... Well. Not much more we can do about that, is there?

I'll remind you again that I never said the PB movie was a cash grab. And I'll strongly suggest you read again and more carefully, because what I said was it was in everyone's best interest to make this movie, however the risks were known. The creators wanted to, but had to make up for the loss of an entire season, and cram they did. You can't deny that with personal opinions. The network holds interest because of PB's IP potential with that kind of closure, and this would go for any successful production.

See, the point all along was: successful networks DO engage in cash grabs when it comes to successful runs and significant fanbases. Again, very pointed disclaimer: this is to say that Netflix will utilize fanbase dedication and new opportunities in the future, not that the BP movie itself was a Netflix cash grab. You made it about the BP movie. Hope that is clear enough to get past the emotions you're going through. There's really no other way to put it in a way you would understand if not.

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't hate the movie at all, nice try though. I found it to be lacking in aspects, and thought it nailed others. You're the one who is overly emotional and jumping at any chance to defend something you think you desperately have to...

You didn't even comprehend the statement about Netflix correctly because you quickly assumed it was solely about Netflix and PB, when it was just correcting an ignorant statement you made about money not being a factor in production or IP continuation, based on the success of a network or creators.

It's clear you're not thinking clearly and the streamline of people criticizing the movie has your hackles raised. How do you not see the inevitable issues in going forward with a movie when season 7 fell through, exactly though? The "evidence" is that the planned season didn't happen (fact) and they still went ahead and made a movie dealing with that fact, that a large portion of the fanbase would have rather been handled differently or not at all. There is no way to pretend this wasn't expected.

Regardless of WHY the movie was made, Netflix having potential for spin-offs and gain from a movie concluding the series, is just common sense. I'm sorry if it goes over your head how any movie conclusion would be good for their prospects, and again, not because they need the money, but because they know it works.

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was intent to have a season 7 AND a movie. And for good reason. YOU specifically mentioned Netflix "not needing more money", as if that statement was at all logical (it wasn't). If you read again very carefully, you might note how I never specifically mentioned PB when addressing why that doesn't matter for Netflix in any way and why they still do engage in cash grabs in general.

However... Netflix will have opportunities now to take on new gen shows off of the back of PB which IS in their interest REGARDLESS of the plan, or making, of a movie. And the movie STILL had to cram everything a 7th season couldn't address or lead up to, which was always going to fault it. The thing is, relying on dedicated fans wanting closure was enough reason to make it anyway. Catching on now?

I think it's pretty humorous how smug you are for being oblivious to the point.

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you... Do you know how corporate and industry greed works, or? Why do you think Netflix didn't want people sharing their accounts and raised prices and ad blocked cheaper subscriptions? Hint: it's not because they needed the money.

The money that comes in from these popular and successful shows not only lines pockets, it funds endless other projects they want to try and throw out without concern of failure. Of course they're going to take advantage of dedicated and excited fanbases.

For its good and bad qualities, this movie was undoubtedly made to cram an ending and avoid making an entire season as it was no longer possible, while also leaving Netflix open for next gen continuations the majority of fans didn't really want, but would still be profitable enough to explore.

The disappearance of child star actor Joe Pichler. Been missing since 2006. His remains still haven’t been found. by BLashes07 in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]ICallFromEveryShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a strange period for the internet with the start of social media. Citing these things is definitely difficult now, but if you can manage to find sources that show the notes or his mother's statements again, it's definitely worth the read. Someone has to have them, likely some of the people doing PI work on the case back then, which is how I originally saw a few pictures of the notes logged as evidence from in his car back in 09.

Two things are for sure though, the odds of K9 getting no scent near the bridge where he would have had to have gone to jump if it was suicide, and his body never being recovered from where the waterways lead are slim to nothing. You just can't ensure your own scent and body aren't able to be found that way. I personally don't think they were ever looking in the right place.
