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
Probably a little bit at least, because Christian Bale is Welsh.
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
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.
Women bad.
oh noooo a fictional female character that is not catered for my wanking needs boohoo
Bet this guy can tell someone’s IQ by their
skin colorskull shape.I’m more worried about her having mutation potions (and them working instantly, but that’s more expected), they better have a damn good reason for her body not melting
They pretty explicitly make it sound like she underwent Witcher mutations in the meantime. How that happens, I have no idea, maybe it’ll be a plot point in the game? If they hand-wave it away I’ll be disappointed
Yeah I was also wondering as soon as I saw her cat-like eyes… Thought it’s not possible anymore but let’s see. Hopefully they’ll explain it
And even if it was possible, why would it be done to her given the high mortality rate of that ritual?
Wasn’t one of the endings of Witcher 3 that Ciri goes through the trial of the grasses and becomes a witcher? Seems pretty damn possible to me.
I can’t remember but I thought that for the Witcher ending I had she didnt go through the trials. I mean one reason is iirc that there is noone knowing how to do it.
What’s a couple decades with a dying witcher school, the world’s most powerful sorceresses and the ability to teleport to the dimension where magic was birthed?
I’m pretty sure Yenn or Triss mention how trivial it would be for them to figure out the potions and transmutations required to make the trials happen but the Witchers are very, very against an outsider touching it all. The original plans were made by a sorceress in any case.
I’m sure they’ll have a perfectly reasonable way of explaining how she went through the trials.
I’m not very deep into the lore but aren’t there other Witcher schools that might not necessarily see the transformation the same way the wolf school came to see it?
Yeah, totally. As far as game lore goes I don’t see why they can’t change that. As far as we can see all of the schools had widely varied ideologies. What is good, what is evil, contract killing and more. I see no reason in established lore that another school couldn’t have had female witchers or why the Lodge wouldn’t want to get their hands on the recipes to revive the witcher schools.
I think this is from the movie Thank You For Smoking. I think about it all the time. They were discussing having a paid advertisement of an astronaut smoking in a space station. One character points out it wouldn’t work because of the pure oxygen environment being explosive. The other character responds “We’ll just say ‘oh thank God we invented the whatever device!’” It’s sort of become an in joke with my wife about rough edges of plots in sequels.
I haven’t played any of the games, so I don’t really know why they couldn’t.
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.
This is like the lame version of those people who can locate your position on the globe by analysing the only visible cloud in one of your photos.
more like mentally unwell people who get that invested in the media they come to analyze the bone structure of a character and link it as a reason to some imaginary wokeness
I think the trailer looks fine. But remember that 1) The original writing team is long gone and 2) CDPR has made it very clear that they’re pursuing a DEI agenda, rather than good writing. I still hope we’ll get something good.

Stands to reason she’s has her face broken once or twice.
The skin looks a bit too smooth for a medieval setting, but maybe its magic 🤷
Maybe it’s Maybelline
Probably. Her adopted mother, the witches, do this, so maybe they taught her.
I blame UE5 though
she is so magical that the biggest baddest faction was hunting her most of her life, only fair it also grants perfect skin.
Ah, YA rules.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
It looked like just weird angles and lighting to me.
the trailer did feel a bit off in general, what really gets to me is how… badly? ciri fights, she just throws up her sword over and over again which makes her look like a panicked amateur, when she’s supposed to have trained with a sword since childhood!
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.
When you get so into looksmaxxing that you start sounding like you’re going through psychosis
Must be the same kind of person that cares what a man’s canthal tilt is.
Say what
Tilt-tilating
