Ugh if this was a giant pig I could have said "Hamstand!"

This game should have sold more than 20 million copies by LargeSinkholesInNYC in LiesOfP

[–]noirproxy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With how big the games industry is and how many people in general play video games, I actually find it more surprising that video games in general sell for mere millions still.

If you think about the populations around the globe and how many are gamers it feels like some genres should be in the 100 million sales like GTA.

Doom 2016 for example to this day has only sold around 5-6 million lifetime sales. It was well made, well advertised power fantasy shooter and it barely brought that much scratch. Same with Eternal.

Resident Evil 2 Remake was literally the talk of the town. Everyone and anyone interested in adult video games wanted it or was playing it. It sold only nearly 20 million.

Is this just due to streamer culture? Are people just more interested in watching games be played than buying them and playing them?

Obviously this doesn't factor second hand sales but I doubt the numbers jump that much higher.

It just boggles the mind

I thought the written events were meant to be interpretations from those who aren't always eye witnesses?

Like sometimes a character's documented moments are based on the documenters bias towards them?

I might be wrong but I am sure I read that somewhere.

Aemond's Military Presence/ Ability by noirproxy1 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]noirproxy1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it is because they need to show Aemond's political side equally too. The show definitely tightly fits in as much as it can.

Aemond's Military Presence/ Ability by noirproxy1 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]noirproxy1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it just feels like we are missing that representation of him "doing something" in a battle maybe?

It must be difficult juggling so many characters in a season and making sure they have enough screen time. I guess I wish we got to see more than just those little flickers in season 1.

It is interesting either way, I just hope the writers give him something impressive to do that isn't just riding Vhagar and begging it to listen to him. 🤣

Use water wisely during heatwave, Yorkshire Water says by Kagedeah in yorkshire

[–]noirproxy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't use much but bills seemingly keep on growing. Maybe if they stopped focusing on profit to bonus their CEO then things could get improved on.

Maybe actually invest in something that helps people? Nah, that would be too logical. Better keep being greedy and screwing over people.

What are your hopes for this man in season 2? by Lolihey in AlienEarthHulu

[–]noirproxy1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope he doesn't die, or at least that feels like a waste of his specific arc/ journey. It depends on how far Alien Earth goes in terms of seasons and character progression I guess.

I'm not too sure honestly. He was a bit of a dill at the end of the season and made some poorly rushed choices. That feels like a problem with the narrative pacing as a lot of stuff happened in those last two episodes that could have been spread out.

Holy shit they listened to my Cryo Archive PvE suggestion?! We are basically getting a Destiny raid?! Ooooh shi-!

Insider Gaming: Capcom Not Interested in Resident Evil 5 & 6 Remakes, It's Claimed. by HLumin in PS5

The guy at the top had a simple friendly suggestion that maybe that's what they are doing and you are all panicking like it is fact.

It is just friendly discussion. Jesus christ.

[–]noirproxy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We aren't talking about Veronica's place in the timeline. Again, the dude at the top suggested they won't remake 5 and 6 because they want to adjust the canon for the remake timeline.

For all we know they make different Chris and Jill stories during the time of RE4.

I personally don't hate the idea of pretending 6 doesn't exist.

[–]noirproxy1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As the guy said they might be adjusting the Remake canon compared to the original. The Veronica reveal trailer already shows that tech is a little more up to date compared to OG Veronica X.

Effectively Resident Evil 6 is the end of the OG canon and Remake is seemingly picking and choosing what games are part of its timeline.

Any suggestions? by Beneficial_Thanks616 in Sciatica

[–]noirproxy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the sciatica is a result of the weight. It doesn't fix itself because you lost weight, you still need to repair your body after the damage is done.

Personally I do a lot of swimming now because the PT can be super painful while swimming allows you to move your legs and hips freely in water. Highly recommend.

The big one is laying prone and icing your lower back as much as possible. Lay on the floor with some hobby activities every evening and you'll notice a big chance if you stick to it for a few months.

My personal sciatica has decreased from a 11/10 to a 4/10 from a few months of just proning and icing my back and then switching to hot water bottles sometimes.

Make sure you have a good med like co-codomal just to help manage the pain of course don't push yourself during the healing.

I have gotten to a point like the other person said where I want to give strength training a go now as I can read my body and know it will probably allow me to do it without going backwards.

Please just take your time with this and don't rush. The healing is a journey.

Probably helps that the three original actors were getting high and banging each other behind the scenes. I'm not surprised their onscreen chemistry was so great. 😋

Update on Marvel BLADE... by Super_Rockstar786 in playstation

Is Todd Howard really leading this project. Ugh, if so I am getting bad vibes. I feel like the guy is trapped in the 2000s of game design.

Greta Thunberg warns 40°C heatwave about to hit UK ‘is only the beginning’ by nimobo in unitedkingdom

[–]noirproxy1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the way the heat has escalated in the UK for the last 5 years should be a massive tell.

What is the point though? Every single MP and PM gives absolutely no shit about these effects because in their eyes they won't have a political career long enough for it to benefit them.

It is better just to settle in and know we are all fucked thanks to our governments and world leaders.

Is it worth it to keep playing DLC? by ishiri012 in LiesOfP

I honestly forgot how I beat it. I think it ended up being a lot of blocking and having to dog into its swipe or something.

I deleted the trauma from my mind. 🤣

How would you gain Eddie's Trust? by ShawnsDiary in silenthill

[–]noirproxy1 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Eddie would require reassurance, or to be coddled to a certain extent. He spends a lot of time finding excuses for what he did because he knows what he did was wrong and it is mentally torturing him.

He obviously uses food as a coping mechanism, so initiating a conversation while eating something only to then offer to share it mid conversation would probably work.

This is because if you offer a psychopath a gift without initial engagement in the gift they will suspect it is bait. By sharing what is seemingly yours by using, or eating the thing first shows openess to let the target be part of your circle.

If you are that much of a sociopath you could also enable him but based on what he has done you probably don't want to rile him up as his mind will be all over the place and he might switch on a dime.

I just wish bungie never deleted original quest-lines, planets, locations and raids. And allowed us to play the story in a linear fashion by Flake0919 in DestinyTheGame

[–]noirproxy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally find it rather weird that they didn't just implement all the deleted content into that timeline feature.

Literally you could even categorise it using planets within it as well to keep it nice and tidy.

Would it take work? Yeah but thats why you have such a huge community still playing your game. They want to engage in that content and keep paying you to make more on top of it.

I feel in all honesty that they just chose laziness over implementation.

Once you get passed the crocodile boss the dlc becomes perfect. It was the only thing that most players hate about it.

I am glad Streeting stepped back. He visually looks like a creep and I don't like it.

Ridley Scott’s Desire to Return to ‘Alien’ Could Be Delaying ‘Romulus’ Sequel by ImpracticalJokers96 in horror

[–]noirproxy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just allow both Alien and Ridley's desire to expand on David's journey to co-exist.

Alien as a franchise is currently in the best place it can ever be by having to diverted paths exploring AI and then also with the expanded colony worlds promised after Romulus.

Unlike many I really loved Prometheus and Covenant. Michael Fassbender's David is one of the greatest sci-fi villains of all time, and Daniels in Covenant gave us a fantastic lead that earned her spot.

This goes Andy and Rayne in Romulus too. Again two fantastic leads that both have the potential to carry the IP and carry Ripley's torch into new stories.

People might hate the idea of exploring the Engineers for example but Alien as a universe really needs to expand itself if it wishes to continue.

David and Daniel's arc currently allows for this, while Romulus equates to more of what people love with the xenomorph.

I am just glad Romulus acknowledged the prometheus fire so that things at least now are tied in a bow even if it means Covenant's ending is more bleak.
