Reality vs Adventure

I’m getting confused; and there is a topic for the trilogy

Box I want a Box for Christmas; ok there's your box. LOL

I personally would think anybody involved with making games would at least play them. It's like being a song writer and not listen to music. Or write poetry and not read at all. Partake in your creation is what I say. Become what you expect.

DAMNIT!!!

The radio shows today would definitely be some clown bait for a GTA 6. It almost feels we are half way there actually living the game. At what point is satire not satire anymore? LOL

I don't know if it's just me, but the game doesn't really give much free driving time. After every mission, it jumps right into another. I would like to be able to drive a bit a take in the scenery without being on a mission with passengers. But so far most missions start right at the safe house, or a cut scene starts after finishing a mission and goes right into another. The game definitely is story oriented, but makes me wonder why even have an open world. There is a feature to play the game just to have fun w/o any story, maybe I should do that for a bit.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is an animal rights group is going to file a complaint to the Department of Agriculture for violating the Animal Welfare Act. Elon Musk should be in the spotlight for this and wreck his damn business. Seriously, do people even go to jail for this sort of thing? Probably not in the name of science. https://news.yahoo.com/animal-rights-org-bares-teeth-005959052.html

There is something we all have forgotten about and paid little attention to the lives of the monkeys these Neuralink experiments were done on. There were 23 monkeys used in experiments and 15 of them have died and have endured 'extreme suffering.' They drilled holes into their skulls and one monkey was found with missing fingers and toes from self mutilation. It is being investigated by animal rights groups. Elon Musk should be ashamed to go this far; I hate the guy to the extreme now. He should be stuck to a chair and have holes drilled into his brain and reap what he sowed. https://news.yahoo.com/extreme-suffering-15-23-monkeys-205653491.html

That did come across as a bit of mockery whether you meant to or not. But the fact that you got the ethnicity of a character wrong shows the kind of person that claims something is woke as if there is a debate involved. It’s just plain demeaning to claim woke every time a person of different ethnicity gets a job. And then to ask why so triggered when you were the one who got triggered in the first place by complaining about skin color of characters. And if you don't know the 'ethnicity distinguishing' then don't say shit about it.

GTA 6 might have NFT as well. The entire gaming industry is going to end up having it. And not one developer/publisher has come out strongly against it. Take Two CEO says "We believe that NFTs are real, and why wouldn't they be? We believe in digital goods and we've been selling digital goods for a very long time," he said. "We believe in rare goods, we believe in collectibles. The concern we have is that there's a speculation going on." So the question is, are they so concerned about speculation that they won't use NFT in the future; or they plan on using NFT and concerned about speculation? https://www.pcgamer.com/take-two-ceo-doesnt-want-gta-to-stay-stuck-in-the-past/

Ubisoft is a disappointment in that sense of money first attitude and workplace issues, but I’d be wrong to say they don’t produce bad ass games. And WDL to me is a leap into future gaming with all its new features.

That’s a good point; not a good idea for a social media giant to be a publisher and make consoles. They are highly invested in VR anyways. They have their hands tied there, for a while at least.

Google is facing antitrust violations by the EU because of unfair competition to its ad tech. The European Commission in the EU 'will become the sole enforcer of new tech regulations.' We can expect them to be cracking down more on tech giants to protect consumers which I say is a positive thing in the current EU. Everybody needs to crack down on these tech giant sons of bitches and their monopoly attempts. https://www.exchangewire.com/blog/2021/11/10/eu-commission-google-face-fine-rejected-appeal/

Those in power uses 'Divine Rights' for 'political legitimacy of monarchy.' It has always been like that, where Gods ordained their authority. So my opinion is that religion stems from divine rights to rule over people. Those who seek to integrate religion into government do so when they want autocratic monarchy.

Oh wow, I had no idea a new one is coming out!!! Looks like it's a sequel since they mentioned 50 years since Leather face.

All Microsoft is trying to do is appease those that are investigating this purchase by not making COD an exclusive, as of now that is. At the same time there are tech wars now going on as Microsoft as well as Meta are attacking Apple and Google. Microsoft is trying to throw the spotlight on Apple for their fees in using the Gamepass app and the reason is because Microsoft is trying to justify using their own apps in the Microsoft store, which throws out competition by favoring their own. So what is to stop Microsoft to completely reduce all app fees in their own store to favor developers and destroy the competition of Apple, which includes those fees? That's why Apple, Google, and even Steam is being attacked now for charging developers a 30% fee to use their app software. And Microsoft actually has reduced their store app fee cost from 30% to 12%. That sounds all fine and dandy to developers, but this isn't the right kind of competition. I included in this topic because it shows that Microsoft is clearly bumping heads with antitrust laws, and attacking other tech companies to justify their actions. Along with Meta blaming Apple for financial loss. We are going to see many tech wars as I believe is part of a larger humanity crisis where some in government want to protect consumers, while others believe a monopoly favors their tyrannical designs. The American Innovation and Choice Online Act is now going to the senate. "It would prohibit Big Tech companies from favoring their own services in an anti-competitive way, something smaller tech companies have accused companies like Apple, Google, Amazon and Meta of doing for years." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/microsoft-takes-swipe-at-apple-and-google-with-new-app-store-rules-203417146.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tech-antitrust-bill-headed-senate-182326835.html https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/2992

That would be gruesome to walk around sawing at people in today's graphics. The Evil Dead coming out might be similar to that. Can't do Evil Dead w/o the chainsaw.

But where does the gas go then? 💭 Remember, energy is neither created nor destroyed. LOL

It's interesting if brain cells gather together to function as a sentient being. Cells depend on the sodium/potassium pump or the 'electricity' of cells. That electricity is consciousness. That electricity is spirits, angels, god, devil, and everything humans try to make up for in lack of comprehension. And when cells gather together like that to function as sentient, is pretty much the forming of ganglion, which is the basic brain of insects and basic life. So if you can form a ganglion and add DNA functions to it in order to replicate its functionality as a system by itself, then we are the gods.

Sad and true; those things are a reality that happens so who is to say some Greek woman didn't want giant bull cock? Especially a queen who probably felt superior for doing it. Humans are sick, so maybe the myth was a cover up for bull fucking and the king got mad and forced Athenian sacrifices to the minotaur, which sacrifices supposedly happened in the real underground labyrinth.

True at that. Not going to be a good year for the world.

How come Saints Row started off as Xbox exclusive and then SR2 became available to all platforms? I wish I could start the series from the beginning and that's probably why the reboot is coming for SR1. So I'm excited about it being this year. I'm glad it never stayed an exclusive. This is a reminder why the new trend in monopolization buying up developers will hurt gamers. We all will be segmented and only know games available for your console subscription.

It looks like facebook is stuck between data privacy and funds from advertisements. Along with Apple’s new privacy update that directly impacts Meta’s loss by $10 billion, and the whistleblower controversy how Facebook profited from misinformation by directing people to link after link of extremism, and now the EU data privacy concerns, are all going to affect Meta going forward. American politics really put Facebook in the crosshairs as a gatekeeper of misinformation. A few high profile republican politicians including Trump were banned from Facebook, while at the same time profiting from other misinformation as claimed by the whistleblower. So they are heading into a collision course to a world that needs more data privacy. Can they stay successful if privacy means that Meta won’t get as much advertising traffic? It’s more than just data privacy that is hurting Meta. Because they have seen their first loss in users, which I believe is partly due to the conservatives who didn’t like the fact that their messiah Trump was banned from Facebook and meanwhile Trump and party have so far unsuccessfully tried to start their own hate filled social media. And investors usually might not be afflicted by politics when it comes to investments, but Meta has a lot going on that contributed to Thursday’s loss. I hate to say that many people have lost confidence in them that aren’t republican which as fate will have it, boosts republican efforts to destroy Meta as their revenge. But many people are losing confidence because of the whistleblower, and Spotify’s recent controversy, as well as Oculus under investigation for antitrust violations. And as far as Spotify, even after Joe Rogan spread misinformation about Covid and used the ’N’ word many times, he was offered a $100 million deal for a Trump-backed site instead. So that shows that Meta is republican’s social media arch enemy, but even then that won't stop them from investing if the profit is good, which wouldn't make sense to invest in something you want to destroy. How Meta responds to all this and recuperate their losses is something I’m not sure of what they will do.

I think everything in BCE is going to be mixed up in myth. Even if you wanted to learn about actual history from any library, you will come across mythology guaranteed. It's inseparable. Even architecture will have sculptings or paintings of lore as well as crafts and even coins. Bringing it to life in a game is just more amusing than reading a history book. So that's not fair to say AC isn't a good historical representation, because it is. But I agree they used real people and put fictional spins on them like Da Vinci, etc. but the newer games have Discovery Tours where you travel to different locations to learn historical facts about people and places. So when you do come across fantasy or fictional spins of characters you have a historical reference to look back on as a guide. Those Discovery Tours are very unique I don't think any other game has.

Well that doesn't make sense about Wildlands because I can say the same thing about Assassin's Creed which you just called fantasy. But I do agree that AC has a lot of fantasy, but it's fantasy has ties to actual historic beliefs during that time period. For example, you fight a Minotaur in Odyssey, but I learned in the game that ancient Minoans in Crete actually believed in it and came from the wife of King Minos that gave birth to it. Kind of a sick story of how a woman mated with a bull. But that's a portrayal of history, whether what they believed was real or not.
