Need some last-minute gifts? Books are the greatest. Here is me frolicking in a park with some of my books, which all want to live on your bookshelf. You can get them at your local indie bookstore, or get signed and personalized copies from @foliosf at foliosf.com/annaleenewitz -- plus, you can pre-order my new nonfiction book, Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind, which I guarantee your future self will be glad to have in June.
Hi I’m Nika (they/them) and my hobbies are gaming, cooking and baking, knitting and crocheting. I bake my own sourdough bread since 2015. I organise my life with a bullet journal.
I speak German and English.
My posts will be written in English most of the time.
I know a LOT of the community absolutely love both Idris and Keanu, but I think one reason why I feel so disconnected to both their characters is that I never cared about either actor all that much.
In short I am one of the few players who do not have an emotional commitment towards either character just by hearing their voices.
@WhyNotZoidberg I'm the same way...Except I respect the work of Idris and Keanu; I don't immediately become committed to the character they play. Unless they show me with great acting that there's a reason for me to care about their characters in game! A flat performance will net absolutely no response at all from me. I ended up liking Johnny Silverhand deeper into my playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 only because Keanu put a lot of work into portraying him. It felt authentic to the point my impression of the chaotic, rocker bad boy who made dumb freaking choices...Made me begin to adore the deeply flawed Johnny. I've yet to experience Idris's character because I haven't bought the DLC. I'm intrigued though based on the marketing material, at least. I love a great mystery thriller!
Everyone looking forward to PS5 Pro is actually a PC gamer in their heart, dreaming of having an option to spend money on a more powerful graphics card.
@sharan I actually agree. I think PC remains what it has always been for people who prefer it that way, but consoles distanced themselves SLIGHTLY from what they used to be. There is now too much emphasis on resolution, framerate, options, etc in console space.
Digital Foundry has a million YT followers talking about console games running at 25 fps in certain scenarios. This kind of content has changed console gamers to be like PC gamers, but it doesn't work. 🤷
@nazokiyoubinbou console game developers used to create game for particular hardware and you would always get fluid gameplay. Nowadays developers fail to optimize their game and hope that more powerful hardware gets released. And users support this way of doing things...
@elonjet So, with this one flight, from Rome to Austin, his jet produced 6 times the carbon footprint that my car has produced in total over the four years I've had it. Granted, I can't drive to Rome, but my car has covered 47,000 miles in that time, or 8 times this distance.
I have had to fight for months to be able to survive from bad people and try to find a safe home, I have not had much luck, I have suffered a lot these last few weeks and I have not been able to eat or sleep well, please could someone help me get the funds to Can I spend Christmas safely?
