This is more psychotic than any of the dialogue in American Psycho.
Oh, it is not. It is on par with the book.
The book is faaaaaar more psychotic than the movie.
Is it more American too
You like Huey Lewis And The News?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.
Do you like Ice Nine Kills?
Their early work was a little bit too scene for me But when The Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own Commercially and artistically The whole album has a refined melodic sensibility that really makes it a cut above the rest
Source. I just can’t see anything related to American Psycho anymore without thinking of Ice Nine Kills’ brilliant homage to it
Haha. Listening to it right now, didn’t realize your comment was from it.
Not gonna lie, that track slaps. I’ve heard a couple other songs from them, and also thought they were too scene for my liking.
Although I do quite like their “walking on sunshine” with reel big fish. I think that’s the only song I heard previously of theirs that I liked.
I’ll check out some of their other stuff. Thanks for posting.
I’ve listened to Every Trick in The Book a few too many times and its really cool for capturing the ambience of books you may or may not have read in high school. My favorite song by them is Me, Myself and Hyde which does some really cool stuff with Dr Jeckyl’s parts being performed in clean vocals with acoustic strings accompanying and Mr Hyde’s parts in unclean vocals, with Mr Hyde taking over more and more as the song progresses.
Bloodbath and Beyond is another strong contender as well

Probably a little bit at least, because Christian Bale is Welsh.
I feel like the author wanted me to get bored by the over the top depravity and violence as part of the feel of the book and the characters mindset.
On the plus side, it was an effective technique that worked and added to the character of the book.
On the downside, it worked and made the later parts of the book obscenely tedious.
I find her extremely well made, kinda like I imagined when reading the book: full of scars, beefy, and angry at the stupidity of tradition (recurring theme in the books)
She looks 40, now as a 30 year old I couldn’t have less of a problem. At this stage of my life I prefer my women to look like they’ve been an adult for a while.
Bet this guy can tell someone’s IQ by their
skin colorskull shape.oh noooo a fictional female character that is not catered for my wanking needs boohoo
So what is the point they are trying to make in that video?
Is it just listing facial changes since Witcher 3? Or is it whining because the girl became less fappable in their opinion and claim it is woke?
Well you see, she isn’t wearing bikini armor and flirtatiously interacting with everyone in the trailer, so it is woke. Wokedy woke woke.
Determining if games are any good is getting really tiring because it involves wading through an insufferable number of manchildren whining about stupid things.
Essentially you need to find some influencers you agree with. That are willing to call out a game for being shit, too.
Wait for game to be out, wait for your favourite YouTuber to review it. Read Steam reviews that aren’t oneliners or religious rants
Just don’t preorder. You know what I told my friends several years ago?
“Cyberpunk 2077 is the first game I’m actually considering preordering because it looks so awesome”
I didn’t. And I’m glad I didn’t. I still enjoyed the game a lot, just later, after it had been patched to hell and back.
It’s worth noting as well, you don’t even need to agree with the reviewer, you just need to get to know their tastes. If they always negatively review games you like, then a negative review from them is basically an endorsememt.
Yeah it’s sad. I’ve also seen a lot of people crying because Ciri is just sooo boring. I’m guessing those either didn’t play or like W3.
I will say I’m disappointed in the voice actor change as I liked the original VA, but any fan will get over that pretty quickly.
Her facial shape or whatever does look slightly different from W3 Ciri in ways that don’t happen just with age but given the new engine and whatnot, who cares :) (also a Witcher goes through many physical changes so it fits lore-wise also)
My only gripes with that choice is that Ciri is a leap more powerful than Geralt, and has the training of a Witcher, so it feels a bit DBZ-esque of the ever more powerful enemy/hero. But, otherwise, Ciri is the natural continuation of the game series.
My biggest gripe is also the power level. Witcher 3 already sets her potential way above Geralt which means for Witcher 4 they most likely will nerf her powers to not make her a, living god. Personally I would’ve preferred if they hadn’t used Ciri in the first place because it’s bound to create retcons.
Or if they wanted to make a story about Ciri they should’ve focused on who she is (someone with elder blood) not on who she isn’t (an actual Witcher). She doesn’t need Witcher powers, her innate powers are already way stronger than what a Witcher gets.
I wish she had sharper rather than rounder features to resemble her model in W3 closer, but I don’t see anything wrong with her new look, and anyone who does should probably touch grass.
Also, I’m an inveterate enemy of the braid
I agree with everything you’ve said, but with the comment that the trailer as a whole had uncanny valley vibes to me. I think that the red pill crowd don’t know how to properly voice their complaints. They see the model look different like you said and they like it less. Maybe they see the same sort of general weirdness in the characters like I do. Then they chalk it up to making characters less perfectly beautiful because they’re going woke lol.
One of the reasons I avoid the gaming communities. So much complaining / whining / negativity / cynicism.
Misogyny, racism, transphobia, toxicity, unfunniness, bullying. Fuck gaming communities. I’ll play my single player games and seldom post anywhere about them.
Women bad.
When you get so into looksmaxxing that you start sounding like you’re going through psychosis
Witcher 4 comments are bad, but Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is getting a lot worse heat. You would think that a new IP by renowned devs who have not made a single bad game would be hype.
They’re exceptionally upset that the rough-and-tumble female bounty hunter lead character of the 80’s cassette-retro-futurism sci-fi action game isn’t some generic-looking 80’s supermodel type, instead of someone who you’d actually expect to be a space-bounty hunter. I have no doubt Naughty Dog has made another banger game, but sexist coomers are gonna be sexist coomers, and there’s not a whole lot you can do for them.
Yeah, like when was there ever a heroine in 80s action sci fi that was a no-nonsense rough & tumble ass-kicking type? I can’t think of a single one, let alone multiple iconic characters that headlined my favourite movies from the era.
First I can think of is Ellen Ripley from Alien and Aliens. Didn’t start out badass or ass-kicking, but sure as shit ended up doing so.
Her and Sarah Connor were the main ones. T2 wasn’t technically 80s but it’s close, and the character started in the 80s.
If only that era of movies hadn’t spawned a TV Trope that sadly coloured these folks’ perceptions on strong, independent, rough and tumble women: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VasquezAlwaysDies
Battletech does indeed have its long list of badass action babes, the top eight entries of which are Natasha Kerensky, but you’ve also got the likes of Melissa Steiner, her daughter Catherine “Katrina” Steiner-Davion, Dierdre Lear, and to a degree Isis Marik. A lot can be said for the women of the Draconis Combine as well who aren’t permitted to be warriors but tend to politick and intrigue a lot, such as Omi and Constance Kurita.
Pulling just two examples out of that list, Dierdre Lear is a pacificst who became a doctor and jointed the military as a MASH trauma surgeon. Her father died in a 'mech duel when she was a little girl, and so she decided she was gonna fix war one bandaged gunshot wound at a time. She serves during the Clan invasion, being swept along with Kai Allard-Liao in his adventures, first kind of inadvertently causing and playing a significant role in the Twycross Great Gash incident by objecting to moving her MASH unit, and then on Alyena becoming trapped behind enemy lines and forming a one man one woman insurgency with Kai. She shoots one man in the back to save Kai’s life and is deeply conflicted by this action.
Constance Kurita is a cousin to the Coordinator (dictator) of the Draconis Combine (space feudal Japan), In an oppressive society that doesn’t like sending women to school, she joins the Order of the Five Pillars which is kind of what this society has instead of scholar monks, eventually becoming the Keeper of the House Honor. As such she has an intelligence network that rivals that of the military’s intelligence service and often shares moments of “I can’t tell you how I know this but here’s something you should know and what you should do about it” with her cousin Theodore, heir to the throne and often in positions of power; as Theodore rises through the ranks, so does Constance and her influence and reach often matches his. She’s not the captain of the ship of state but she’s definitely got a hand on the tiller and a better idea of what’s going on in the engine room than the bridge crew does.
Battletech actually did that kind of thing well, sure there’s plenty of Rambo action schlock, it is a series of novels designed to market a tabletop game after all, but they put some craftsmanship into it.
Man, I just watched the trailer and that was a trip. I think they nailed the character: just the right amount of cynicism and hard edges without dipping too far into quippy one-liners.
I’m soooo excited. Ciris whole story arc in the prior games. Now seeing her as an older adult.
I know this post is about the toxicity of people. But I’m excited, that’s all.
I’m pretty sure those aren’t real word.
I know of orbicularis oris. It’s your “ring muscle” that enables you to move your lips, basically, and make shapes with it
