Small spoilers for Resident Evil Village
 
 

TimeSplitters coming back 
 
 

Injustice animated movie announced
https://www.ign.com/articles/injustice-gods-among-us-animated-movie-officially-announced-by-dc-warner-bros-animation

so I was checking out any info I could find on the Streets of Rage 4 DLC...
https://collider.com/streets-of-rage-4-dlc-characters/
Collider has a good read on it here... apparently character customization too!!  I need this to get released ASAP...
The free DLC, a treat in itself, will add the New Mania+ difficulty level to the game, a brutal challenge even for the most experienced players. For newcomers, the free DLC will add a training mode, in which it’ll be possible to test different combos and perfect the timing of attacks, a skill much needed to succeed in Streets of Rage 4. The free DLC will also new color palette options for all the playable characters, giving the player more freedom to adjust how their hero looks.

The show takes place in 2006. A good 15 years before Village. This isn't meant to push the series forward

I thought that was the only way you COULD do it.
 
I mean, and keep them in one piece.
 
@M A R T I A N
 
The very thing that caused me to begin this descent into madness, was that the Finch Farm got attacked, and I had to spend half an hour reloading in order to keep all four of the family members alive.
 
After that, I walled it off with fences as best I could, slapped down a small and large shack inside the perimeter, with all three set at chokepoint angles wherein I put the radio tower, water, and such, and then built 70 or so defense in turrets mainly just inside the gate and all around the O.G. farm and shack.
 
From there, I built a reasonably large 2-story sleeping quarters in the back to further fortify it.
 
I have built a great many, infinitely more elegant settlements since.
 
But I leave the heart of that one alone, only adding to its original patchwork menagerie of shapes.
 
It looks something rather like the new and improved version of Steve Martin's family's ancestral home in "The Jerk", but with much, much more firepower.
 
But by God, Daniel Finch's paper mache ass ain't died since.
 
Every time I stop by, he or someone else tells me about how they "cut some Raiders to ribbons".
 
I trained them up good.

I'm ALL for some sort of hazard pay as I also haven't stopped working during the pandemic. At one point I believed that was being discussed by our government but I don't think it ever went further. Us essentials were the most at risk this entire time so we deserve SOME type of financial compensation

Man, that’s terrible about Paul Mooney. Legit one of the best comedians and funniest people  to ever walk this earth. 
 

Gonna go somewhere where white ppl hang out and make jokes that make them feel quite uncomfortable in Paul Mooney's honor, it's what he'd would want us to do ✊🏾

The creator of berserk has passed away. Apparently he died two weeks ago and they're just announcing it

Depends on the settlement. I feel like sometimes it just simply WILL NOT work. I remember years ago trying to wall off Spectacle Island and it was just such a pain in the ass that I stopped even trying. Here in Abernathy it's a very neat and shapely rectangle that doesn't cover TOO much ground and I can even make most of the walls the same material. There's also a matter of leaving your turrets space to shoot outside the walls, which can be hard without the two sided grate walls or placing them on the exterior.
 
With this place I'm trying to setup lots of watchtowers and assign snipers to them to cover the exterior, while having turrets mostly as a last measure deterrent , majority of them pointing towards the inside of the camp. We'll see how that works out. 
 
If anyone manages to climb in here, and I'm not there to snipe them from above, they'll be met with....harsh prejudice, to say the least, 

That’s not the point. You never pay attention to my needs. When is it Gunna be about me for a change?

I just used the mod to remove build limits. The limit is only there to save on performance after all.

Ended up being one of those nights again. Spent just a little bit too long building and by the time I look at the clock it's already 5AM. 😞

On the plus side, I think Abernathy Farms has become my new favorite settlement. Amazing patch of land already set up for agriculture, comes with livestock and 4 settlers to start, tons of worthless junk to scrap, and it has the highest vertical build limit at a staggering 20 stories. So naturally I built my castle as high as possible...above all the filthy peasants. 
 

 
Hard to see neon letters up against this sign, but it says "Martian Trap House". 😎
 
Also gives you a really sick view of Concord, Sanctuary, Red Rocket, ect. 
 


 Got a nice little work area to myself up here, and a stairway to heaven for going back and forth between the shops and my house. 


 
Finally got the crops sorted out and the shops setup this morning. Complete with a shitty break room in the back because I'm a merciful God. 
 


 
I love this settlement because it's a very large space to work with but also very compact and neatly shaped. Spectacle Island is amazing as a building platform but the large size and location are both intimidating and inconvenient in a lot of ways. This location is very midland, cozy, and gives you a lot to already work with. 
 
Now I just gotta figure out what to do with the rest of this land under my house...
 

 
(Ignore the slave shack where I make everyone sleep)

There were some people that actually tried to get Robert Dowey cancelled over it. He told them to fuck off and it derailed the effort completely. 

If she gonna step down then Phil Lamarr needs ago step down as Samurai Jack. Renounce his work as Vamp. On and on. 
 
And great she stepped down so a person of color could do the role....is she on the hiring team? Is she helping them choose her replacement? What actual input does she have in who gets to replace her?I highly doubt she has any say in this what so ever. She probably stepped down from a role she can't even garanteed is gonna go to a POC.
 
My real stance in Phil should keep doing Phil and she should a kept doing what she was hired to do. This is just top level virtue signalling imo. 

that shit is stupid, imo... it's VOICE acting... so it is not really important that the VA in question physically "matches" the character.  The whole thing is beyond silly to me.  By this logic, I guess Cree Summer wasn't supposed to be "Penny" in Inspector Gadget back in the day, since Penny is a blonde blue-eyed white girl.....but of course let me guess ...that's different (according to most "lefties"), right?  Minorities can play anyone and it's alright but if you are a white person, you should only be voicing the white characters, right?  Yeah ok guys 🤣  
I've been *slightly* interested in possibly doing voice-over work before (*if only I weren't so damn lazy about things; I've gotten compliments about the voice forever... the usual "you should be that voice-over guy on movie previews and radio spots"; I get that a lot).... and it would be a damn shame to be trapped in a "box" of such narrow character/voice options, imo.  I imagine that any VA with a good deal of range would feel the same about *only* being acceptable as white characters or black characters, or asian characters, etc. etc.  The whole thing is strange and astoundingly dumb, imo.  Then again... that sums up the current state of our society, imo.
 
Later on, I guess only gay people should be cast to *voice* gay characters as well, right?  Only trans actors to voice trans characters, right?  Only bisexual people voicing bisexual characters, right?  Oh dear a straight person voicing an lgbtq character would be so "problematic", right?  

I spent way too many hours building settlements in Fallout 4.
 
I realized that at the gas station build site you can actually build on top of the roof.  Built a multi-story apartment building safely above ground and covered the area around it with guns.
 
I like the building system so much I might even try Fallout 76...

If you drop guns on the ground and scrap them from the workbench, it expands your building limit.
 
I have destroyed so many laser guns to achieve Ghettoplex over 1/3 of Sanctuary.
 
I just got to that island myself, I think.
 
I have 8 or 9 maxed water filters churning out purified water/cash, so far.

Yeah the settlement stuff has always been really fun to me. I'm waiting till I get a little closer to endgame to work on those because there's a very ideal spot you can colonize once you get far enough. It's basically a giant island all to yourself. 

Contemplating whether or not I'll use mods to alter some stuff like removing the build limits, making power lines longer, ect. So far I have yet to use anything that actually changes the gameplay, just visual and performance enhancements. I do have one mod that allows you to have a companion AND Dogmeat, considering that was the original intention while the game was still being developed. The characters you travel with will even verbally acknowledge Dogmeat since the audio files are actually in the game. Pretty cool.
 
Decided to bring Pepper along this time. I always go with Valentine, usually.
 

 
I think she's making that face because I just stole something.
 
We have good times out here in the Commonwealth. 
 

Finished my MiSTer build.  🙂
 
 

I'll believe the Bloodborne port when I see it. Stuff like that has been announced before and nothing materialized, so I'm skeptical even though I believe it'll happen eventually.
