LOL yeah of course, that’s always how you do fantasy casting. You pick the person that looks like the character you’re trying to cast. Real life casting is obviously a lot more involved, and often the person who is actually cast doesn’t even resemble the previous versions of the character.

There’s a thread on Twitter with multiple victims posting their stories and DMs/texts from Roiland. It’s starting to sound like he was grooming girls as young as 16.

I feel like Soderbergh used her best in Haywire, she was still fairly wooden but he leaned into her impressive physicality more than her acting, and let the rest of the cast do the acting. 

She coulda had the Disney corporation delivering dump trucks of cash to her house on a routine basis, but she wanted to be mad online, instead. I would delete my Twitter account for Disney money. I would delete my Twitter account for Lifetime television money. I would delete my Twitter account for $20 actually.

We have very different definitions of “actually great”.

You’re absolutely right. What’s happened for me with Ubisoft games is I buy and play one every...4 years? Maybe 5? I bought and loved every AC for years and then at some point just completely lost interest. I bought Valhalla, but that thing took me 96 hours to finish. I don’t have that kind of time anymore and when I…

You had me at “turn-based combat”

People aren’t “looking for reasons” to be angry. People are rightfully angry over transphobia, and this game is based on the franchise created by one of the world’s most visible transphobes. And fuuuuuuuuuck you and your stance of “ignore it and it’ll go away”. That’s not how social change works. The trans community…

I’m just surprised it didn’t end with Musk calling the dude a pedophile or something.

There are only 2 rules to total rewrites.
1. Do not do a total rewrite.
2. If your team does a total rewrite, switch teams right away.

He’s busy trying to force the whole Hunter Biden thing again to care about technicalities like “programming,” please understand.

Yup, Musk the “engineer” got out-engineered by an actual engineer. It went as well as can be expected for that man-child Musk.

Put this in a museum for future generations 

How has this man tricked so many people into thinking he’s some galaxy-brain genius? HOW!?

If it’s so big and complicated and crazy... that’s yet another reason not to rewrite it. Do you think it’s worth spending all that time replicating functionality that already exists — simply so the CEO likes it?

My favourite part is that exact bit of exchange:

Let’s take over a million lines of code and just start over because I have a seriously shallow and naive understanding of all the things that make up Twitter and I think it would be easier to understand if all that complexity went away. I mean, it would all still work, right? Come on, it can’t take more that 12 weeks…

lol, one question on specifics and he literally melts

Yeah, I thought this may have been the impetus for his sudden departure, but this apparently took place after he resigned.

I suspect that on the PS5 Returnal takes heavy advantage of the insanely fast storage and the GPU’s direct access to the SSD. While an NVMe SSD in a PC gets close, the SSD in the PS5 is still faster. To mimic the insanely fast SSD of the PS5 the game is loading more assets into RAM instead. The DirectStorage API in…
