My parents have a timeshare and have a week for it that will expire in March that they aren't planning on using, so they are going to give it to me. Got a couple of places in mind, either looking at Orlando or Las Vegas sometime between late February to mid March. Can't make up my mind as to which one, all I know is that a week vacation after this holiday season is going to be desperately needed.
Ah so Idaho is no longer on the cards then? I think that sickness I was going to have may not arrive at all, so good news for me!
Forgot to respond to your comment from yesterday, I didn't mean remove or disregard the rights that you listed, I was just saying alter that legislation or specific part of the Constitution or whatever to the point that it directly deals with the matter without compromising the benefits it currently provides under that section. Think of it like writing a sentence, but scribbling out and replacing a couple of words, while retaining the core of the comment, it's still there, but new and improved and doesn't harm the overall sentence
And fair enough with the district being the ones to handle it, I'm not educated on the why, but that should be sorted to ensure the people in that region remain safe and not have any criminals walk free because of a loophole, that in my uneducated opinion can be easily amended if Congress made note of the loophole, thought of the potential risk and sorted it there and then. By no means am I a legal expert, I just think things like this shouldn't require jumping through hoops just for a chance to change something like that loophole, it's needlessly complicated
I'm flip flopping between topics, but I wanted to end my comment wishing you a good holiday, whereever you decide to go

For context, she suffers from epilepsy and while playing Cyberpunk for the review on Game Informer (they gave the game a 9 by the by), one of the games mechanics called the Braindance, gave her a grand mal seizure, which can be life threatening. The Braindance sequences mimics the flashing pattern of a real life device used by neurologists to induce epilepsy in people for diagnostic purposes. She also experienced multiple moments in which she felt additional seizures would be triggered but thankfully only experienced the one.
She then wrote a PSA for Game Informer warning those with epilepsy on ways they can get around these scenes, such as looking away from the screen, turning down the brightness or playing around with the colourblind settings as there isn't an option in the game to disable these sequences. The game currently doesn't offer a seizure warning for these sequences and it's more than likely that CD Projekt were just unaware of these sequences being a possible issue for whatever reason.
Of course due to certain gamers being as tribalistic as they are, they determined she was being mean to CD Projekt and decided to spam her with with the above stated content.
Yea I've been informed it's blocked in a few countries. I'm working on throwing together a mirror version on another site so everyone across the pond can watch it as well. Sorry about that! Went a lil too in on the music choices

That's just terrible, and gamers who do this should be aware that charges could be brought against them. Really.
As an aside, anyone who makes video or animations that have significant flashing content should add a warning about it. You'll see that on movie descriptions sometimes. If it was everywhere, people would see it for the safety warning that it is and not as a criticism.

According to the author, there actually is a small warning for flashing and strobing lights but it's somewhere in the EULA, which let's be honest no one reads. She seems to now be in contact with CD Projekt to have a better warning for the game prepared and maybe make the game more accessible.

I gotta say, I can't get into open world games anymore because I lost interest in exploring a big map, doing tons of side missions and getting invested in a story that takes more. Cyberpunk 2077 does look great and I hope it lives up to its hype but I'm afraid that if I'll buy it, I would just never finish or touch it again because of open world stuff. That is exactly how it happened when I bought Witcher 3. The story seems very interesting and I do wanna learn more about it but the gameplay just didn't do it for me.
Last summer, I replayed Red Dead Redemption 2 and I still enjoy the story and its character but I didn't bother to finish the whole thing again.
To sort of add onto the overall intolerance of some people in the gaming community over fair criticisms and differing opinions, we've now got people blaming the alt right and 4chan for Ghosts of Tsushima beating TLOU II in the People's vote for GOTY.
For those going after the Game Informer author for justifiably criticizing it for not having proper warnings, fucking stop it. Cyberpunk looks awesome, but it's not going to be a perfect game, and that's a legitimate thing to complain about. A 91 is still good, and even the writer liked the game outside of that and gave it a 9, so quit it, there's no need to threaten or bully someone over this.
For those bitching and moaning about GoT beating TLOU II, no, people didn't vote for GoT because of bigotry or hatred. GoT was a fantastic game and the overwhelming majority who voted for it over TLOU II was because of that. And to label the millions who voted for it as alt-righters and 4chan trolls is pathetic and seeds more division and tribalism, from both sides. People didn't think TLOU II deserved it, that doesn't make them bigots you morons, especially since many of them enjoyed and loved the first game as well.
I don't doubt that I'm sure some people voted for Tsushima just so that TLOU2 could lose.
But I also don't doubt that some other people voted for TLOU just so they could get that victory.
(Based on the how strangely the Metacritic page began to fill up so soon after the release of the game, some people just have too much time on their hands and enough passion to feed it.
It's a shame, really, that the controversy and disparity of opinions on this one game is enough to start such a divide in some fans, causing what I'd like to call 'The Sisyphus Effect'. Two opposing points that get nowhere in the long run: One side fighting to make the game look like the rise of Satan, while the other makes it look like the second coming of Christ. (Weird analogy, I know... But you get my point.)
Kinda weirdly ironic that this is yet another 2020 vote that has drawn controversy over its legitimacy. The real one I won't mention, for obvious reasons... But seriously, they are both legitimate.
[For starters, nothing raises any suspicion about the final stats to me. After Day 1, there was a 3% difference between the two, with 14% and 11% between GoT and TLOU2, respectively. By Day 2, TLOU2 racked up to 43% of the votes with GoT in 2nd place with 31%. Now, in the end, GoT got a nice bolster of votes, with it winning at 47% of the votes and TLOU2 at 33%.]
Its been jumping around all week, so if given another day I'd bet TLOU2 could have brought in some more to come out on top, too.

I'm sure some did, but I at least recognize it as a small, more than likely inconsequential minority. What I hate is people generalizing a small, minuscule percentage of people as either the norm or the majority. There were some internet trolls bashing TLOU II for having LGBTQ+ themes and characters, that must mean EVERYONE hates it for those reasons, and anyone who tries to argue for different reasons is just closeted. An IGN writer literally went after people criticizing the game and called them virgins who will always be virgins. Hell, you had Neil Druckmann himself telling people to vote for TLOU II to silence the haters, saying that for "every vote you cast for The Last of Us Part II, a hater loses their caps lock." So now any negative review or praise towards GoT, whether that be on Metacritic or just a random YouTube comment, can just be shrugged off as being moronic and from the mind of a racist, sexist, homophobic bigot.
And the opposite is equally true, going after people who liked it and generalizing them as Naughty Dog fanboys and cucks is a gross thing to say, even though there were probably some people who heaped praise on it for the sole purpose of having progressive messaging and themes in it, but that number is negligible. And even if it wasn't, guess what, you're probably equally balanced out by the same number who hate it for the reason stressed above, so those votes more than likely cancel each other out. But guess what this leads to...tribalism and going after one of these two extremes, there can't be any middle. You either have to like, or hate, all aspects of the game. But the fact that Neil plays into this as well, that anyone who questions his ability or game is just a hater, is playing into this division and feeding it, and that's not just wrong, but it shows how high he considers himself and how much of a stuck up elitist he is.
Same can be said for the Game Informer situation I bet. A small minority of people are bullying her. The fact that even one person is doing it is wrong and should not be tolerated, but I'm sure the amount of people is also incredibly small and not a large representation of the gaming community or Cyberpunk fans in general. These people are trolls and they should be either ignored, or just not lumped in with other people who either hate or like something that others don't. It's not fair and its how we get these problems in the first place.
Never heard of this term before, might have to do some more digging into it. But based on what you're saying, yes, that is pretty much what is happening here and what I just described. That happened with TLOU II, it looks like it's happening with Cyberpunk.
All of this could have been avoided if you all voted for DOOM: Eternal like I did, then we don't have this controversy and we'd just rip and tear, until it is done.
I don't doubt that I'm sure some people voted for Tsushima just so that TLOU2 could lose.
But I also don't doubt that some other people vot… moreed for TLOU just so they could get that victory.

Based on AChicken's comment, looks like it was a close, and often times, a back and forth contest between TLOU II and Ghost. It is a nice win for Sucker Punch, so congrats to them, even if it's not official. Let's face it, TLOU II is winning the overall award with the critics vote, the fan vote only counts for 10%. Despite the polarized reaction to the game, the outcry that's going to happen if it doesn't win GOTY would be massive. So even though I think games like GoT and DOOM Eternal are better, TLOU II wins in a landslide. I'm no betting man, but I would put money on it winning.
Honestly this years nominees are pretty stacked with TLoU2, Tsushima, Doom and Hades. I'd personally find it hard to be mad no matter which of them won.
Except maybe Animal Crossing, but I would be mostly confused rather than mad, and I know nothing about the FF7 Remake to be able to comment on that.

Everyone is talking about the whole war between Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part 2 for GOTY while I'm just sitting in a corner feeling legitimately sad that Demon's Souls Remake did not get a single nomination (Even though I still have yet to play it).

Just a PSA that Winter is the absolute best time to wear a mask, since 1. It'll help prevent you from infecting others with germs and vice-versa, and 2. it helps keep your face warm outside (at least the bottom half), just by breathing!
Why don't we do this more often? My face has never felt so grateful!
I just had written up a comment regarding this situation and was about to hit post, when I decided to scroll up since I thought I saw someone mention some Cyberpunk 2077 controversy. Yep. This topic's already underway, it seems.
Can we just Thanos-snap half of all Gamers now? I feel like this behaviour has been getting worse and worse over the years, and now it's gone from Death threats to Near-death experiences.
EDIT: Dear god, I just read through a whole annoying comment chain on that GI Epilepsy article. Some guy was trying to argue that the writer was at fault for willingly subjecting herself to a medium known to cause epileptic events... and it just snowballed from there to some superiority complex and thinking other people are white-knighting for the writer. Fuck off with that, I've seen enough.

Eyyy congratulations to Sucker Punch for the win! Last I checked the poll the numbers were super close so good on them for taking it home!
I'm sure some did, but I at least recognize it as a small, more than likely inconsequential minority. What I hate is people generalizing a small, minuscule percentage of people as either the norm or the majority. There were some internet trolls bashing TLOU II for having LGBTQ+ themes and characters, that must mean EVERYONE hates it for those reasons, and anyone who tries to argue for different reasons is just closeted. An IGN writer literally went after people criticizing the game and called them virgins who will always be virgins. Hell, you had Neil Druckmann himself telling people to vote for TLOU II to silence the haters, saying that for "every vote you cast for The Last of Us Part II, a hater loses their caps lock." So now any negative review or praise towards GoT, whether that be on Metacritic or just a random YouTube comment, can just be shrugged off as being moronic and from the mind of a racist, sexist, homophobic bigot.
And the opposite is equally true, going after people who liked it and generalizing them as Naughty Dog fanboys and cucks is a gross thing to say, even though there were probably some people who heaped praise on it for the sole purpose of having progressive messaging and themes in it, but that number is negligible. And even if it wasn't, guess what, you're probably equally balanced out by the same number who hate it for the reason stressed above, so those votes more than likely cancel each other out. But guess what this leads to...tribalism and going after one of these two extremes, there can't be any middle. You either have to like, or hate, all aspects of the game. But the fact that Neil plays into this as well, that anyone who questions his ability or game is just a hater, is playing into this division and feeding it, and that's not just wrong, but it shows how high he considers himself and how much of a stuck up elitist he is.
Same can be said for the Game Informer situation I bet. A small minority of people are bullying her. The fact that even one person is doing it is wrong and should not be tolerated, but I'm sure the amount of people is also incredibly small and not a large representation of the gaming community or Cyberpunk fans in general. These people are trolls and they should be either ignored, or just not lumped in with other people who either hate or like something that others don't. It's not fair and its how we get these problems in the first place.
Never heard of this term before, might have to do some more digging into it. But based on what you're saying, yes, that is pretty much what is happening here and what I just described. That happened with TLOU II, it looks like it's happening with Cyberpunk.
All of this could have been avoided if you all voted for DOOM: Eternal like I did, then we don't have this controversy and we'd just rip and tear, until it is done.
Yep. This whole damn thing is basically Sony Playstation: Civil War.
Based on AChicken's comment, looks like it was a close, and often times, a back and forth contest between TLOU II and Ghost. It is a nice win for Sucker Punch, so congrats to them, even if it's not official. Let's face it, TLOU II is winning the overall award with the critics vote, the fan vote only counts for 10%. Despite the polarized reaction to the game, the outcry that's going to happen if it doesn't win GOTY would be massive. So even though I think games like GoT and DOOM Eternal are better, TLOU II wins in a landslide. I'm no betting man, but I would put money on it winning.
Honestly this years nominees are pretty stacked with TLoU2, Tsushima, Doom and Hades. I'd personally find it hard to be mad no matter which of them won.
Except maybe Animal Crossing, but I would be mostly confused rather than mad, and I know nothing about the FF7 Remake to be able to comment on that.
Never played Hades, know if it's any good?
Is there a countdown to the Game Awards? I have no idea what time it starts where I'm from.
That's because I just made it up!
I know the pre-show with a few reveals is gonna start at 6:30 ET on Thursday.
No idea how that translates to your timezone.
Game Awards starts at 6:30 pm EST/3:30 pm PST in the US. I know you're not from the US, but I'm sure if you Google what time that would be based on one of these time zones, you'll be get an answer.
You know, I missed that part in your comment when you said that, that's what I get for speed reading, my bad.
Everyone is talking about the whole war between Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part 2 for GOTY while I'm just sitting in a corner feeling legitimately sad that Demon's Souls Remake did not get a single nomination (Even though I still have yet to play it).
Haven't played it myself but I know a lot of people who absolutely love it. Even people who normally aren't a fan of rogue-likes are really into it.
Hm, might have to check it out more and see what it's about.
Halo Infinite will release in Autumn 2021!

Not a single one? That's disappointing. I've heard a lot of good things about the remake. And it definitely looks really good.

hey. remember to delete the "mobile." part of the twitter link to make it embed.
Just a PSA that Winter is the absolute best time to wear a mask, since 1. It'll help prevent you from infecting others with germs and vice-versa, and 2. it helps keep your face warm outside (at least the bottom half), just by breathing!
Why don't we do this more often? My face has never felt so grateful!
I just had written up a comment regarding this situation and was about to hit post, when I decided to scroll up since I thought I saw someone mention some Cyberpunk 2077 controversy. Yep. This topic's already underway, it seems.
Can we just Thanos-snap half of all Gamers now? I feel like this behaviour has been getting worse and worse over the years, and now it's gone from Death threats to Near-death experiences.
EDIT: Dear god, I just read through a whole annoying comment chain on that GI Epilepsy article. Some guy was trying to argue that the writer was at fault for willingly subjecting herself to a medium known to cause epileptic events... and it just snowballed from there to some superiority complex and thinking other people are white-knighting for the writer. Fuck off with that, I've seen enough.
