  • New York styled pizza is great too and I would totally put it above Chicago deep dish, but to call it as good as or even better than an old fashioned traditional Italian pizza? From the people that birthed this food from the heavens?

    Lies. Deception.

    Pfft, nothing beats New York pizza. Chicago pizza has nothing on our superior style. We have the best, and that is final, no debate to be had.

  • You know, all I remember hearing for the longest time was that not only was the vaccine still a long ways out, but the idea of having one ready this year was considered ridiculous, a lie that was fact checked as impossible. And not only do we have 1, but we have 2 supposedly successful vaccines developed and being shipped to those who need it the most before the year is up. This is nothing short of a miracle, the speed at which this came about and already being able to distribute it, I think, could be one of the biggest scientific successes ever. I want everyone who thought that it was a pipe dream, wishful thinking, and a bloviated sense of false hope, among other harsh words I’ve seen thrown around, to not only publicly recognize what an achievement this is, but renege their previous statements. While normalcy is still a while away, and the long lasting effects will be felt for years to come (we’re going to see a lot more hypochondriacs who will never take their masks off again, not to mention the thousands, if not millions, who have resorted to drugs, alcohol, or even suicide as a result of the negative affects of these lockdowns and the pandemic), I think we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

  • Who do you think made and popularized New York style pizza? It was the Italian immigrants who settled in New York and New Jersey. I myself am a descendent of some of those Italian immigrants, it’s in my blood.

    Do not cite the dark magic to me, witch. I was (quasi) there when it was written.

    I watched Train to Busan for the second time. That film is a masterpiece and it's better than most Hollywood movies I have seen. If you loved The Walking Dead Season 1, you will love this one. It's such a character-focused zombie story. The only thing that bothers me the most is that I cannot remember the names of the characters due to the Korean culture.

    And you best remember that. New Jersey may be the land of huge property taxes, insufferably high cost of living, decrepit roads and bridges, humid summers, freezing winters, corrupt politicians, and considered the least patriotic state in the entire country, but if there's one thing we take immense pride in, it's our food. From our pizza, to our bagels, to our tomatoes, to our diners, to the greatest breakfast sandwich in the whole world...a Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese...New Jersey stands above the rest.

  • Just got the news that my 62 year old father tested positive. He is currently asymptomatic and feeling okay, thank God, but my mother, who has been running a fever, congested, and coughing, is still waiting on her results. Just talked to both of them, they’re taking it well and will be quarantining, I just pray everything will be okay with both of them.

  • Yikes! I hope they stay safe and have a speedy recovery.

  • They're in South Carolina, and I'm in New Jersey. Not the closest drive. My mom already takes zinc, my dad not so much. They were both told to take C and D as well. Thank you for the well wishes though.

  • Thank you very much Blind

    Yikes! I hope they stay safe and have a speedy recovery.

    This is just from episode 5 at the start of the Bloody Mary fight.

    There is a weird amount of effort put into it though. Not super sure what they did for the camera bobbing as the overall scene where Bigby looks like this only last like 10 milliseconds and there is no camera panning out or in. The eyes are just after effects/premiere. Blurriness is probs a mixture of quality dropping from being a gif plus they most likely used some kind of AI for the motion. Doubt this really means anything but it is a bit of a strange amount of work/effort just for a reply tweet.

  • At this point, he could probably finish the entire game, make his usual choices, and successfully complete all the QTE's without even looking at the screen. That's how well he knows the game.

    Just finished watching Wolfwalkers. It's an animated movie that follows a young girl named Robyn, who aspires to be a hunter like her father. Due to her fathers work, they are called to Ireland in order to help wipe out the remaining wolves that seemingly terrorise the region, however after sneaking off into the woods she meets Mebh, a wild child who she discovers is part of a lineage of people known as Wolfwalkers. Humans with the magical ability to transform into wolves.

    I love this movie. For one thing, it is absolutely positively gorgeous to look at. Every single frame felt like it was ripped right out of the pages of a storybook. Not since Spider-Verse have I seen an animated film look this beautiful. There were multiple moments throughout the film where I couldn't help but be astounded by visuals and the animation. As far as I'm aware, the movie is entirely hand drawn, with colours "leaking" out of the outlines and the sketches that make up the bodies of the characters are often made visible throughout.

    Robyn and Mebh are wonderful characters with amazing chemistry. Despite their wildly different backgrounds, both of them have a similar sense of childlike wonder and joy, as well as a fierce feeling of independence which is what draws the two of them together. The voice acting is also top notch, with Honor Kneafsey and Eva Whittaker doing a great job of bringing the characters to life.

    This is easily the best looking piece of animated media this year and is definitely up there in my favourites of the year because of everything else. I highly recommend it. The production house, Cartoon Saloon, has just made a fan out of me and I look forward to checking out their previous and future releases.

    So Xbox Game Pass PC was suppose to add the EA Play library to Game Pass today, which was announced at the Game Awards less than a week ago. But now today when it was suppose to release its been announced to be delayed until some time in 2021. How do you even put yourself in that situation?

  • im pretty sure to get the episode 4 skip you need to find the hidden gnome in every scene in episode 3, and then place them all on the sacrificial alter in the strip club before going to fight the tweedles who then become gnomes and blue screen all of episode 4

  • SHIT!!! I heard that Resident Evil 8 story got leaked through the internet. Luckily, I avoid learning information about the new RE games because I want a blind experience. I just hope they do not pull a Joel with Chris Redfield.

  • I was thinking that but I dont know. The only thing here that is a bit weird is the motion but I am very certain its some sort of AI. Other than that it all looks the same as the original so it doesnt look like its from a remastered version of the game. Dont really know why they would show footage of a Wolf remaster with nothing truly new and put glowing eyes over it in with After Effects. Its also possible its a fan made gif someone made thats just out there and they didnt make it and just searched it.

    Anyway, why yes I am looking forward to The Wolf Among Us: Redux... How could you tell?

    We will never see RE8 gameplay even unofficially.

  • A lot of stuff got leaked because of that. RIP Capcom.

    And yes, I did say screenshots despite watching one of the leaked cutscenes.

    My mind is massive and strong.

  • The most gameplay we've seen that wasn't just Ethan walking around was from a PS5 trailer of a pro tennis player where small 2 second clips were cut in-between that showed gameplay a little more complex than just "Bro this man is walking!"

    Not so sure why this was the ad to do so but oh well. Capcom has been a bit confusing with this RE8 marketing, being undeceive about if its called Resident Evil 8 Village or Village: Resident Evil, telling people to watch them play Re8 but its literally watch people play Re8 because they didn't show footage. Im just hoping for a proper gameplay reveal soon.

  • CD Projekt is currently having that moment in an old cartoon where a character falls down a set of stairs and they just keep tumbling for like a full minute.

    It's pretty funny.

  • Well, looks like it wasn't just my parents that tested positive for COVID. I just tested positive as well unfortunately. Not to worry, I'm feeling completely fine, no symptoms to report on as of now, and I will be doing the necessary quarantining for the next two weeks while doing what work I can from home. Got plenty of food to last, so that's not going to be a problem, maybe I can actually start tackling some of the other games in my library with the time off.

    Got all my fingers and toes crossed for you and your parents, Metallica. Hope you guys beat this thing fast, and that if this positive case holds true, it's just a mild case of it.

    ...Goddamn. Never expected one of our own would be faced with a positive covid test. Stay safe out there, y'all.
    Fu~~uuck this year! Cannot wait to leave it behind.
