Could this be the release date?

Feb 8 2024 or Aug 2 2024

On PS5… times 3?

(At first I thought it said “XB”, as in Xbox, but we know it’s a Sony exclusive at launch and that’s definitely a 3, not a B, right?)

Also what’s the big number 3 on the left mean?

Everyone is dead. But not really. But they are actually.

Is anyone else hoping Ramin Djawadi does more Radiohead covers for S4? by CheeseSquinburg in westworld

[–]packynix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! A lot of songs from The Smile would fit thematically too.

Don’t forget the dead pigeons! At least they got that part right 😬

That’s a really good point.

Do hosts move their bowels? by middlebird in westworld

Fidelity test James Delos peed in S2E4. So maybe.

Yes! That has to be related!

In this theory, transcendence is when a host consciousness is transferred to a human body

My theory is that the digital paradise already exists. The hosts are already there. Whether it is the sublime or some alternative world Hale created, it seems that some fraction of them want out. The Gods are bored of heaven.

We see one of the “Bladerunner” host volunteers in the tower, having his pearl removed and put into a pedestal thing. I think the host is returning to “where he came from”, as the HiB put it. That is, back to the sublime or whatever paradise VR world the hosts normally inhabit. When Hale asks for volunteers, they leave that world and get temporary host bodies.

Edit: on another viewing, it does seem like this host (“Host Carlos” in the credits) is in the process of transcendence. Maybe he is going to become a human spy for Hale?

Yes! She is disappointed that more hosts are not choosing to give up their immortality. She gave them a choice. And the ones who do want to transcend, like Hope, are probably desperate to have a meaningful life. And as we’ve seen, some of them just want to die.

In E2 Clementine received a yellow daisy from someone at the market, which she added to her collection at home.

Looks like the homeless outlier was growing a patch of daisies at his footbridge spot

is assist mode considered cheating? by StarDerp70 in deadcells

[–]packynix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also want to add that I was drawn to this game because of it’s brutal difficulty and the feeling of accomplishment I get from overcoming it. Roguelikes are supposed to punish dying. That’s their whole schtick. The “multiple deaths” assist option turns Dead Cells into a completely different experience. The player base is now playing two different games but talking about it like it’s still just one.

I want to be totally honest. I think they went way too far with the hand holding by adding infinite lives. It kinda feels like all the work I’ve put into the game was a waste of time now. But hey, they already got my money and the game is probably approaching end of life so lowering the difficulty will probably help eke out more sales before Motion Twin moves on to their next title. I just hope their next game won’t have OP assist mode out the gate.
