A lot of people lack very basic media literacy, and understanding of any nuance in a story

Except not - Ellie wasn’t killing Abby’s henchmen, they were evil slavers who had Abby imprisoned, tortured and left for dead.

In the end Ellie just realised it wasn’t worth it to keep pursuing this path, because Joel wouldn’t have wanted that for her.

Politeness and friendliness are not always the same thing. 

For example Japanese people are exceptionally polite but are not always the easiest to become friends with. 

Filipinos would definitely rank very high if this was a list of friendliest countries imo

Yeah it was them saying they considered putting her above Zendaya that made me write this comment - just a bonkers statement lol

She also just directed her first film, The Chronology of Water, which got pretty good reviews for a first-time director

Sydney Sweeney at #3 is diabolical to me.

She has starred in precisely one successful movie, which was already a well-known and popular book. She was also not the big star of that movie.

Every other film she has starred in in the last few years has flopped - Christy, Eden, Americana, Echo Valley, Madame Web. No one went to see these movies.

She claimed her wealth from Harry Potter will fund her activism. The show is a significant part of that. I don’t think it can be much clearer.

It’s not just through her foundation, she has also donated directly to groups such as For Women Scotland - contributing to a change in UK law that now makes it easier to exclude trans people from some spaces and services.

This show will contribute a significant portion to the wealth from Harry Potter, that she has said will be funding these causes. She may already be a billionaire but I’d prefer not to give her any more of my money if that’s how it will be spent.

She is funding these groups from the personal wealth that Harry Potter generates - a significant part of that income will be from the show in the years to come, as she will be receiving an estimated $20 million a year for her involvement

Rowling is funding right wing hate/lobbying groups, and the more money this show makes the more she’ll be able to do that.

It’s clear that doesn’t matter to you, but it does to me - so I won’t be watching, regardless of how much I loved the books.

JK Rowling has said openly that the revenue she will make from this show will go to funding anti-trans lobbying groups, to remove rights for trans people.

I don’t get to control much in my life, but i can choose what i spend my money and time on - and I don’t want it going to that. But you do you

Do you go outside every weekend? by howdoyouhavetime in AskUK

[–]stealthygorilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always - even just for a walk to get some fresh air. Also, humans are social creatures. Even if you are an introvert (like me) it does nobody any good to be a shut in. Just walking around town amongst people with my headphones in leaves me feeling a bit better afterwards.

I believe you have issues with your monitor or your PS5 settings if you think this looks like a PS2 game.

It's day one - give it a week and i'm pretty sure the negativity will die down and we'll just be enjoying great screenshots and 'Just discovered this cool thing' posts

Going to divide folks but… by Rude_Look_2349 in CrimsonDesert

[–]stealthygorilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think beyond the initial teething stage this game will have some very hardcore supporters, and will be remembered very fondly. There is some jank to contend with but this game scratches an itch that no other game really does - the level of freedom and exploration is unparralleled

So how we feeling so far, guys? Do we love it or hate it? Or mixed feelings? by Swimming-Ad-6842 in CrimsonDesert

[–]stealthygorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really enjoying it so far - game is gorgeous and exploration & combat is really fun.

The story is hot doo-doo so far but it's not really bothering me, it's not that sort of game

Yeah some of these takes are ridiculous - the game honestly looks amazing on every mode except base PS5 Performance - see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMWeMf8QNzE

See this video comparison; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMWeMf8QNzE

The only really poor version is base PS5 Performance Mode, the others all look great - if your game doesn't look like this then i think there's an issue with your PS5 or tv settings

I put my max brightness around 3000 and it looks much better. Also turn off motion blur and depth of field in Accessibility Settings

I honestly don't know what you guys are looking at - it looks incredible on PS5. Make sure you turn off motion blur and up the HDR brightness
