Hell of a good scene.
I will not accept Ragnarok as anything but one of the best in its class I fear

Short answer? Yes. Why do you think that the prequels were hated so much until the sequels came out and were so goddamn fuck-ass terrible they managed to make the prequels actually look decent? "I hate sand" is a prime example. Actors still need something decent to work with.

Natalie Portman said no director wanted to work with her after seeing her in Star Wars, citing that she was a terrible actress.
Did George Lucas make a bunch of good actors look terrible in the prequel films?

Probably because she's ugly. Attractiveness is subjective to a certain extent but there ARE a great many objective factors of attractiveness. That character fails many of them. I don't know what else I can tell you. 🤷♂️That doesn't make them grifters, that makes them... honest.
These grifters are still so desperate to call this character ugly. Give it a rest.

I never weighed in on the great peach fuzz debate, but if I did I would simply state that if you can put that level of detail into your character model, then it is even more evident that making them ugly is deliberate. I would also say that you better have good performance.
It seems like another peach fuzz gate is brewing, so I'll chime in
Gamers have no problem with peach fuzz on women, as long as the woman is beautiful
Pretty simple concept
Peach fuzz on Clarie Redfield from Resident Evil Veronica is perfectly fine
But not on Aloy from Horizon

Corpospeak translation:
"There is no such thing as bad press. It gives us extra advertising and we know 95% of you stupid fuckers will buy the game regardless of your objections as long as I don't insult you to your faces."

'God of War: Laufey' director Ariel Lawrence responds to critics of the feminist replacement aspect of the game:
"I’m so thankful that we have people who care. And whether or not they care, they’re upset, or they think we should do something that’s different, I would rather they care"
"So we’re arms open, ready to show them Faye’s journey and have them fall in love with her like we have."
"I understand everybody’s reservations and hesitations and I know that it comes from a good place. They have been on that journey with Kratos as long as I have ... And it means something to them."
"We’re not leaving anybody behind. We’ve got plenty more Kratos coming."
Does this make the game better in your opinion?

Perhaps to YOU the digital aging they did to the actress is attractive, however standards of beauty have been and always will be completely subjective. However, they appear to have aged her, poorly, over a decade. Brainwashed? Thanks for the laugh.
It’s ONE still frame, they absolutely did not do the actress dirty. None of you complain about ugly males in the Norse saga, it’s really sus when it comes to Faye. And again, the character in game is NOT ugly your just brainwashed.

I've been trying to give myself selective amnesia regarding that shit-ass game. Thank you for ruining years of dedicated efforts to expunge it from my mind. :P
Reminder that this has been going on for at least a decade now.
Remember Mass Effect: Andromeda?

Aside from a god of war game without the god of war, this is the primary reason why people are upset, albeit many/most either cannot phrase things properly or are just losing their shit because they live on social media. They did the actress dirty but that's nothing new.
So unlike woke game designers I read some of the comments and I redid the design.
Here’s another model I edited. Looks more like the actress, more realistic looking, more texture on her skin. I even toned down her makeup.
Still looks like a beautiful character and the actress in my opinion.

From the sounds of it, it would seem that @thatstarwarsgrl managed to land her own Acerthorn clone. Hope you're doing good over there Anna!

... You made a statement so idiotic you ACTUALLY managed to get me to agree with @SmashJT on something.
Endy sells out.
Smash is pausing his livestreams.
Atraes and Kaida's viewership is going nowhere.
Let's wind the clocks back a year. These wokies, journos and paid shills didn't dare cross any of you.
I mean, what happened? Did your posts drop off?

One thing this IGN article fails to clarify that I am curious about: Was Valve demanding they raise the price on the Ubisoft storefront for price parity or were they demanding the Steam store price be lowered to match? Legally, I don't think it matters but morally I feel it does.
Valve has allegedly gone to great lengths to maintain Steam's position as a marketplace titan on PC, including one example that reportedly saw it threaten to retaliate against Ubisoft by delisting Rai... bit.ly/4o9N5LO

As a HUGE Stargate fan this irritates the hell out of me. They really put in the work to bring us something decent only to get the axe by Amazon Execs who wouldn't know a decent story if it bit them in the ass before they could even begin filming.
Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.
There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...
Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.
As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.
My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

What the hell do you expect with a dude that has adamantine knives that come out of his fucking hands like a roided out Freddy Krueger with anger management issues? Kittens and rainbows?

Have they improved it at all? From what I remember it had a solid premise going for it but it fell off a cliff. Are they going to try and No Man's Sky this thing?
Funcom's new singleplayer mode for Dune: Awakening is definitely gonna bring me back to the game pcgamer.com/games/survival-c…
