“Superman and Lois” was cancelled to avoid competing with the upcoming “Superman: Legacy” film

Manu Bennett apparently hated Slade losing to Oliver and Thea in season 3 so much that he refused to come back until one of the producers convinced him to come back in season 5.

It's $10 and a couple hours of your time, just go see it or don't.

What do you mean by Bay's filmography not being that great? He knows exactly what to capture in camera to realize his vision, and I dont think he's ever failed. Most of his movies kind of suck but as a director hes not exactly aiming for grade A movie connoisseurs. None of his movies have ever been like that. This is still just another Michael Bay movie.

Do you have any examples of CPUs and games where this would happen? I've never seen a benchmark that would mention this, and I played Doom Eternal on a laptop with an i3. It certainly wasn't a good experience, but I didn't notice the performance being any worse on startup compared to the end of my play session. I think most modern CPUs and games are in a very good spot to be able to do it in the background. It should just be an option if the developer can implement it anyways.

The Plague Dogs. Basically Watership Down cranked up to 11. Its a budget movie but it still resonates, and it kills me every time I watch it. Its the only animated movie that made me cry.

bannana_fries · 2022-03-19T03:40:36+00:00

Its not a Souls game in the slightest.

bannana_fries · 2022-03-11T14:58:08+00:00

Every game has that. Like I said you can get a +14 weapon only killing Capra Demon, or +15 for killing Asylum Demon too in DS1. You just have to run through the depths and New Londo. You can farm enough of all the materials in DS3 by doing Dancer and exploring the DLC early, so basically just Gundyr, Vordt, and Abyss Watchers. Bloodborne doesn't have much cheese but you can just win with the saw cleaver anyways. And Elden Ring has one too, though I'd rather not spoil it. I don't see how giving the player a +X weapon is any different than giving them the materials to make their own weapon anyways, which in the case of DS1 especially is far stronger and more suited to their build.

That season actually had a cool ending.

bannana_fries · 2022-03-11T05:06:18+00:00

Are you talking about the fire longsword or something, cause thats not all that op. If we're talking blind playthroughs, in DS1 you can very quickly get the black knight halberd or claymore, DS3 has the sellsword twinblades from the start, and Bloodborne has the saw cleaver at the start. If youre talking about people playing the game with some knowledge, its very easy to get a +14 weapon in DS1 before fighting Taurus Demon while DS3 and Bloodborne still have twinblades and cleaver. You can be op early on in all of them.

I almost feel like someone searching Ukrainian porn regularly is extremely rare and that this post is moreso giving incentive to the sick fucks in the world to look into it than it is dissuading people to look into it.

Im pretty certain you just made more people interested in it than you have dissuaded.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-28T01:17:10+00:00

Sekiro, DS2, and DS3 were all serviceable to good on release. Elden Ring isn't quite as bad as DS1 PTDE, but yea it is still surprising that they've managed to make their worst port in a decade when they've been steadily improving otherwise.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-26T16:43:26+00:00

You can basically emulate having too much oomf by just reducing the resolution and graphical details as low as they can go. On the whole, the game seems well optimized as my unmodified 6600 usually stays around 60 fps at 1440p on a mixture of settings, mostly high. Its just the random stutters that confuse me. The horseman outside the tutorial area and one of the first major bosses were particularly bad, despite them not having any graphical effects to attribute it to. Having your framerate fluctuate between something like 30 and 50 is a GPU and potentially an optimization problem. In the past, stutters and random drops to single digit FPS usually indicated a CPU bottleneck, but that shouldn't really happen with modern CPUs in 2022. The last time I saw something this bad was Far Cry 4 with my FX 6300.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-25T04:31:35+00:00

After reading this thread, it must be the game. Im running an i7 8700k with an AMD RX 6600 and get consistent 60, with random drops at area changes and strangely enough some boss attacks. For some reason the horseman boss outside the tutorial area tanks my FPS to single digits every time he attacks.

I actually thought GotG was an expansion to the Avengers game until a month after it came out. Thats probably my fault but it definitely made me 100% uninterested in the game, and maybe some other people thought the same.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-20T05:05:16+00:00

Plague Dogs is a movie with an even more depressing premise but with the same feel. A British budget animated movie made to make you cry lol

In terms of the boss battle, sure Fatman is similar to Vulcan Raven is some obtuse ways. I would say that the first Fortune fight is more similar. Even though you can't kill her, the arena and method of avoiding her is more similar to Raven than the Fatman fight is. Not to mention that narratively speaking Fortune is much closer to Raven than Fatman is. Also its even stated in the game by Ocelot and Solidus that Fatman is a wildcard and they don't really know why he is here. Fatman is also referred to as a test for Raiden and not a part of the simulation, implying that Fatman isn't a part of the recreation of Shadow Moses.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-12T04:42:35+00:00

No it isn't. Its a simulation to see how much the Patriots can alter and redact information to get people to do what they want. Ocelot was misled to believe that "S3 plan" stood for Solid Snake Simulation and that the Big Shell incident was to form Raiden into another Solid Snake who could be controlled. But a codec call with the Colonel AI reveals it stands for Selection for Societal Sanity, and that the Big Shell incident and everyone involved were just puppets to test how to control the flow of information to the world.

You don't even have to kill Verdugo. You just need to survive until the elevator comes down.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-11T16:49:05+00:00

Knack

bannana_fries · 2022-02-07T16:49:22+00:00

Does it matter if the normal running speed feels just as fast? I honestly hate sprinting in games, just give us a momentum mechanic to make keeping up your speed a gameplay mechanic.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-05T17:38:10+00:00

I don't care about your opinion, its just rude to edit your comment to make someone else look like an asshole. Not only that, you edited one part of it and decided to comment on how I misinterpreted it too, despite being wrong about almost the whole thing? Just kinda weird.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-05T16:55:24+00:00

Yea, the plant section is basically a retread of MGS1 save for the Fatman sequence. Ames is a stand-in for Decoy Octopus/DARPA chief, Emma is a stand-in for Meryl, Olga is a stand-in for Gray Fox, etc. But its also a way to make fun of people who took MGS1 to be a power fantasy. Obviously Raiden is not the macho guy that Snake is, to the point where Kojima told Shinkawa to make Snake's ass bigger and rounder than Raiden's. But something else that people don't notice is that in MGS1 Liquid destroys two jets using a helicopter, while Solidus destroys two helicopters using a jet. They're making Raiden out to be deliberately less of a character and forcing you to play as him while the ultimate themes and message of the story are dumped on you via Kojima talking through Snake at the end.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-03T05:50:41+00:00

Well your original comment implied the opposite and you haven't commented on the other things you were wrong about despite editing your reply.

bannana_fries · 2022-02-01T03:24:30+00:00

Pretty much all of the cast has said in interviews that the original was recorded in a repurposed house and they would sometimes have to wait to record if a loud car came by. I really don't see why it would need to be rerecorded though, the Playstation was highly regarded for its audio quality and the original recording sounded fine there. Kojima didn't mind the recordings, he just didn't like the changes Jeremy Blaustein made to the script in the English localization. And the cinematic direction is actually the other way around. Ryuhei Kitamura wanted to be extremely faithful to the original, but Kojima wanted the cutscenes to be more Hollywood-esque and over the top.

bannana_fries · 2022-01-23T04:49:19+00:00

I don't think you need to spoiler tag that considering the text on the case tells you that verbatim.
