  1. From what I experienced- for me I am inclined to script everything. I first write down a script, and then convert it to teleprompter format, and then control it with a small remote mouse. If I free-style it with a few points I guess I could do that too but it wouldn't flow so smoothly and I would have to practice, which takes a lot of time. Yea, Arthur gets sick when Downes spits in his face/eyes IIRC. Maybe he doesn't understand the concept of germs, viruses, and bacteria or the developers didn't coordinate his illness with the rest of the game well enough. I have heard that Red Dead 2's open world is still unsurpassed in certain aspects, like the environmental details and animal AI. The Last of US show is quite loyal to the game and had very good production values.
  2. Yeah, I am still working on it and have already developed a strategy for it. I will not publish my work until I finish the first batch of 36 videos. I finished 8 already and am scripting the other 28.
  3. It sucks that there are no decent Ciri statues that aren't rare and over $1000. The biggest issue is that manufacturers seem to have is creating her face. The best one is the $1250 Ciri in a kimono statue. I see even the flawed Dark Horse Series 1 statue being sold for hundreds of dollars. I think all Dark horse needs to do is to find a way to manufacture a good ciri face and just release a series 3 Ciri with the original outfit. It will definitely be popular.

  5. I, Marlow, was recently commissioned by Christopher Robin to go into the Hundred Acre Wood to investigate the stoppage of honey exports from the area. It has been rumored that Pooh Bear has become seclusive and was possibly hoarding the honey. I set out on the Storybook River in a rickety steamer. The trip was dangerous and arduous. At one point, we were attacked by a tribe of Oompa Oopmas who threw chocolate at us. I immediately realized we steamed into the wrong story and backtracked until we found the tributary that took us into the woods. As we entered the woods it was clear something was horribly wrong. Dismembered heads were positioned down the river. There were heads of a tiger, a donkey, a kangaroo, among others. Eventually a small pig like creature rowed up to our steamer. He introduced himself as a emissary of Pooh Bear and seemed to present the bear as a messianic figure. He went on and on with a stutter stating that the other animals did not appreciate the bear's power and genius. He had nothing but scorn for Mr. Robin who he saw as an opportunist who kept the bear and the pig from being anything but child-life, thus blocking their potential. I approached the House at Pooh Corner with fear. But when I entered I found Pooh to be very ill. He has appeared to have endlessly binged on his honey supply and had terminal hunny-tummy-itis. We took him back to the ship but he expired leaving his last words. "The horror, The Horror." We had no idea was it meant and figured he was just being pretentious. As we left the woods we noticed that, without the influence of the Pooh Bear, the woods was reversing to a wild state. By the time we left, the woods were more like a forbidding jungle. Afterwards, Christopher Robin appointed a man named Kurtz to return and try to revive the export business but that is another story for another time. Win for Heart of Darkness
  6. Russia's PMCs have the Bakhmut garrison by the throat, they cut off the Northern supply routes. Only southern/western is left and they are contested the south. So far Ukraine, despite having 60 infantry battalions have been slowly losing ground. If the South is cut off and Ukrainian infantry cannot counterattack effectively,- I think Ukraine will withdraw to Chasiv Yar and the Donbass campaign will continue from there. In the left wing of Z-Oblast, Russian army thrusted forward and took several towns and are now threatening the city of Orikhiv. This front has been quiet for the past 2 months. This is dramatic stuff and I am at loss to understand what they plan on doing next.
  7. @Enrico_sw About American culture, I think of the Hollow Men sometimes particularly after the Great recession. Eliot wrote this poem to describe British men and British culture after the World War 1. The Hollow Men by T S Eliot - Famous poems, famous poets. - All Poetry
  8. @Enrico_sw @SympathysSilhouette Today I finished the audiobook for Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" for the second time and was struck by a few crucial similarities between this novella and the Heart of Stone expansion of the Witcher 3. Apocalypse now is also my favorite film of all time. Same-same but different. Geralt often inhabits the role of Marlowe, as an outside observer who pieces together the mystery of Olgierd von Everec piece by piece. He and Olgierd also has numerous philosophical exchanges like Marlow and Kurtz. Olgierd is quite similar to Kurtz when I come to think of it. A great, eloquent but also savage man. His gang of faceless, cutthroat bandits are stand-ins the African 'savages' of Kurtz. And Iris is very similar to the Kurtz' fiancé, and grieves in a similar way- a never ending grief and a never ending love for a great and terrible man. Also, the title of the expansion: Heart of Stone Heart of Darkness The writers CDPR's team were all english majors it seems lol.
