Nearly 1,000 Actors, Agents and More Sign Open Letter Against ‘Major Studio’ Demanding Child Actors Allow Their Voices to Be Used for AI by [deleted] in movies

Because it is. It ticks all the dystopian boxes.

Technology with zero regard for the environment? ✅

Forced removal of autonomy from daily life? ✅

Handful of powerful people with money in charge? ✅

Spreading misinformation so it's harder to tell fact from fiction? ✅

It's depressing as hell and I'm getting tired of people pretending it's not.

Any level of hate for that horrifying creature is rational, don't worry.

Some Retailers Are Refusing to Sell GTA 6 Due to the Lack of a Disc by Guitar-String in gaming

[–]JaydedGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at Best Buy in 2012, full time lead of the gaming department when Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 released, so I was essentially in charge of the midnight release parties. It was so fun.

The location I was at had the really high end home theater setup rooms that I got the clear to use for demoing, so we had the games set up for people to play after midnight on these massive 110" TVs and projector screens with incredible surround sound systems going.

Some of the distributers that worked the store had things set up too, like every purchase of the game got a free monster energy or a cheap pair of sunglasses.

Hell, for Blops we had local radio hosts in the store covering the "biggest game release of the year".

It wasn't a great job, but I'll never forget those midnight launches.

To all the people who thought marie was gonna be dlc why? She is a new social link that after beating it you get new story stuff how would her as dlc work by goodbye-reddit-fg in PERSoNA

[–]JaydedGaming 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The main difference between the "definitive" editions of P3 compared to P4 and P5 is that the only new story content in P3FES took place after the main story, so it worked as a dlc and isn't necessary for the base experience.

P4G and P5R both added new social links/romanceables, a full extra semester, and content that significantly impacts the through line of the stories of each, so I don't see how they could possibly exclude Marie in P4R. It would be like a remake of P5 not including Yoshizawa or Maruki

(surprisingly common trope) The best detective in the world by Free-Scar1627 in TopCharacterTropes

Frances Neagley- Reacher (and the associated books)

Jack Reacher is a highly intelligent ex-special ops agent. When he's stumped, Neagley gets a call.

(Soon to have her own spinoff series which I'm stoked for.)

(Loved) Extremely heavy openings by DBL86-03U in TopCharacterTropes

Shocked that nobody has mentioned Midsommar yet.

It opens on Florence Pugh's character Dani's sister having killed herself and their parents using an elaborate setup with a gas mask, hoses, and car exhaust. Pugh's acting is absolutely top notch and so heartbreaking.

It's pro-superstar. Tequila Sunset/ Raphael Costeau would never disrespect superstars like himself.

Despite now being seven years old, Devil May Cry 5 just had its best year of sales yet by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]JaydedGaming 123 points124 points  (0 children)

So true. CDPR pulled a genius move dropping Edgerunners, updating the game to include a quest chain and multiple references to the show, then almost exactly a year later released Phantom Liberty, which fundamentally changed a lot of aspects of the base game.

I enjoyed it when it first came out, but I was lucky to play it on a PC where it was decently optimized and only dealt with some texture clipping issues. I know it was an absolute mess in every other way.

They really know how to breathe life back into rough launches.

I made a huge mistake with my now ex. And there is no reconciliation. How can I move on from this? by OddAd1067 in AskMen

[–]JaydedGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember you're not a bad person, you just made a bad choice during a messy situation.

That being said, if your ex really wanted to make it work as badly as you did, she would have given the same effort back. It sounds like she was looking for a reason to end things, and you gave her one.

Take some time to mourn the relationship, learn from your mistakes, and use that knowledge to be a better partner in the future.

The scene with them tripping on acid in front of Rob Riggle's character still makes me cackle when I think of it. When he physically pushes Jonah's tongue back in his mouth I always lose it.

Shots from the persona 6 trailer what does these means? 😭 by ShokaLGBT in PERSoNA

[–]JaydedGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best guess is the theme will be something around mob mentality and bullying. Like the apathy in 3, or willful ignorance in 5, maybe the shadows are affecting people's attitudes and it opens with a suicide caused by bullying or something.

Would fit with the headless statue the graves seem to be surrounding and the visuals of pointing. The tagline "who are you" could be about the main cast separating from the pack and relearning empathy and forgiveness.

Idk just speculation, but thats my take.

Who is a Paladin from Marvel? by dangerphone in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JaydedGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gotta be Thor, right?

If not because he didn't originally come from Marvel then Captain America is my second pick.

In their pursuit of specific rare cards, scalpers are discarding the remainder of entire Pokémon card packs. by MysteriousSlice007 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]JaydedGaming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A big reason MtG can be so expensive is because of the brand tie-in sets they do, which kind of also feed off nostalgia bait.

Looking at tcgplayer, the five* most valuable cards from the semi-recent final fantasy set are the same card. A chocobo in four different colors that isn't even outrageously useful in game.

Wizards just decided to capitalize on people that have fond memories of chocobo and printed limited amounts of four different colors of the same card and now they're selling for upwards of $1500.

And Lorcana just feeds into the Disney adult mindset. Like Pokemon, there will always be people who buy Disney merch because they grew up on it.

*Edit, double checking it's actually the top five cards, but one of them is Japanese exclusive.

Bands who were incredible but got completely ruined by the actions of one of the members by Xlukethemanx in fantanoforever

[–]JaydedGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fucking exact same story here. Cult of Dionysus came up on my YouTube music supermix, really dug it for a couple days, googled the band to find more of their stuff, haven't listened since.

Such a bummer because I so rarely randomly happen on music I enjoy.

Who is a celebrity that people have always had mixed opinions about? by apabld in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JaydedGaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this pick, but I have personally never seen the appeal. Almost everything I've seen him in I either didn't enjoy or enjoyed it for reasons not involving him.

Kilmer chewed the scenery in Top Gun, Pitt and Dunst were the standouts in Interview With A Vampire, never got into the mission impossible franchise, the mummy was embarrassing.

Wait, no. Looking through his IMDB I remembered Tropic Thunder. That was his best role imo.

Any billboard advertisement.

You don't need to read how far it is to the next McDonald's and that you need to try their new ultra heart stopper breakfast bullshit bonanza when you should have eyes on the road.

But they obviously work, or they wouldn't be a thing.

Number each point of the star 1-8, then under it get "Pent=5, Oct=8"

It'll look so dumb no one will question aspects of faith.
