Seriously. She’s in, what, the first couple hours? If anything, the live acted performance added a lot of dimensions to a character who came off as a relatively trite bad ass survivor in the game who has one line that gives her depth (the “if this has any meaning” line about taking Ellie)

Right? Came here to say this. I genuinely feel like I’m watching a different show than the author. And also, glad I wound up watching the episode “live” and not waiting until this morning and seeing this headline. I’d spend the whole episode wondering how they did Tess dirty instead of just enjoying this phenomenal…

Removing the spores for tendrils is an amazing idea, because even in the game, spores being isolated to one area is 100% absolutely stupid. They would stay on your clothes once you leave the spore area. And I hate to break it to you, more than the video game audience is watching this, and HBO needs more than just us…

I’m going to be honest, I believe this change was not meant to reduce Tess’s standing in the show and more to do with explaining HOW the cordiceps in the show differ from the ones in the game in as scary and brutal a way possible. We already know that they don’t send out spores (this was done so characters didn’t have…

Tess is a few things in the game, but dynamic is not one of them.

I suppose we see what we want to see. I still feel like she was a badass and that what they have been doing is trying to up the level of fear felt for the infected over certain scenes in the show (both Joel and Tess seem MUCH more apprehensive about running into infected than in the game). The way she handled herself…

Yes... The *horrific* imagery in this *horror* show was, in fact, quite *horrific*.

Where in the PlayStation games she was a confident, dynamic character, HBO makes Tess an example

“We think a direct dialogue between company and employees is the most productive route.

I’ll have a second comment about this post but since there’s no other good place to talk about this I’ll do it here:

To be silent is to be complicit in her own undervaluing. Will some jags label her difficult? Yep, and she won’t work with those difficult jags saving herself future headaches. There will also be people who admire her taking a stand and demanding to be paid what she is worth and will want to work with somebody with…

And that’s why you should just cut your loses, decide to never work with them again and walk away without stirring the drama pot

VAs are increasingly talking about the shit pay they get, I think it’s good for her to continue to add to the conversation. 

corporate malfeseance should always be called out.  this isnt “stirring the drama pot”, its about workers’ rights!

Haha oh man do I feel you. I love inventory management, it just hits a weird OCD sweet-spot for me. And yet NMS managed to make even that aspect challenging for me.

As someone who has not played the game since the patch, I’m not concerned that the inventory update weakened my player, but does it actually fix what was one of the worst inventory systems in existence?

Or it won’t be fixed because Sony hates legacy support.

I’ve never shared my pay because I definitely have imposter syndrome and am somewhat embarrassed by how much I make for what I actually feel like I contribute. I’ve also never seen it work out well — lots of infighting and hurt feelings from people who were paid less (even though it may have been justified by…
