Quote from: kitler53 on Yesterday at 03:01 PMi don't think it counts when a game is canceled in pre-production.  these are games with years of effort from hundreds of people behind them.

Still might be true. Loads of games are cancelled without us even knowing.
But yeah it's crazy how many games are being cancelled that have been years in production 

Bad direction from Sony, pushing studios to make a type of games that doesn't fit the studio culture and history

Literally just last week I watched a youtube video of a guy getting every trophy in tlou2 remaster, so yeah they changed their minds on accessibility limiting trophies.

I'll replay it on normal probably. I don't care about hard games unless they are puzzle games.

I might be giving  Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad too much credit here.

But I feel like neither show degrades the characters for drama or comedy reasons.


I'm probably not touching on the correct thing. I just feel like some of these scenes wouldn't have been done as well in other shows.

Spoiler for Breaking Bad:
Skyler finds out that Walt is making meth. <br><br>I feel like a lot of worse shows would have had it be come crazy reveal where Skyler walks in on Walt awkwardly hiding the money or something at the end of the episode. <br><br>Here it&#39;s 30 minutes into the episode with several other unrelated scenes left. <br><br>She calls him out with basically no real evidence. Just a few pieces she&#39;s put together. <br><br>

Spoiler for Better Call Saul:
<br>There&#39;s this scene where Kim calls out Chuck over how cynical he is towards Jimmy, and then afterwards she hits Jimmy because she knows he was right. <br><br>You just feel that Kim knows what happens just based on her understanding of both people. <br><br>I don&#39;t know, I just feel like most shows wouldn&#39;t have done that as well. <br><br>


Currently in the process of rewatching Breaking Bad with Wifey.

Kind of an interesting dynamic.
I watched Breaking Bad last year by myself. Then watched Better Call Saul with wifey. I started it by myself, but she thought I was watching an interesting show so she watched the rest of the show with me.

So she watched BCS first, and then Breaking Bad. Opposite for me.

Quote from: Legend on Yesterday at 10:32 PMI will not be going for the platinum lol. I think you need to beat it with permadeath on. (maybe that's just for the remaster)
I'm pretty sure that was just the first game.

They were big about accessibility with the second one.

edit: actually i just read from the trophy guide that "additional trophies" where added with patch 1.05.   so grounded difficulty and permadeath is required for those trophies but not for the platinum trophy.

I will try playing with different outfits on  8) (unless that is also just for the remaster)

i skimmed the guide and it's ranked 3 out of 10 difficulty to obtain.   they specifically call out that you do not need to play the game on any particular difficultly unlike the prior game.  looks pretty easy to get especially if you do the enhanced listening mode so you don't miss many collectables on the first play though.   

looks like the hardest part is you cannot get enough supplements in order to upgrade everything in 1 play though.   so 1.5 playthoughs appears to be the minimum.    i likely won't actually go for the plat but i'll chase as many trophies as are easy.

Seemingly grok 3. I don't think the ball bounces look correct, but that is indeed a proper rotating 4D tesseract.


Also a different xAI engineer shared grok 3 calling him a retard, so I think the model might be near ready. This is the model that defines the next decade imo. If it hits the same dead ends that everyone else is hitting, then all hope is lost.


edt: yay! at least for this single example, grok 3 is better than openAI's o3 mini.

Just look at the ball moving in non straight lines. The whole reference frame is rotating.

so since i'm the only one that hasn't played this before i'm going to skip the spoiler tags.

i am very open to critiques on how i broke up the assignements but from where i'm sitting:
- time to beat is ~23 hours.  44 for 100% completion.
- the walkthough guides suggest there are 11 chapters but each list various sub sections which different chapters having wildly different number of sub sections.
- i divided the game into 11 chunks so in theory that's like 2 hours per week.
- the last of us season 2 airs in "april" so with the book club ending on april 11th i feel that is a pretty good timing.
