The TV's Frink verses Jetrell Fo
Time

I thought it might be cool to discuss politics in here considering the Politics thread is usually a fucking shitshow.

I figure if we can move the shitshow here at least the thread title will fit.

So man how about that Trump? What an asshole am I right?

And man, that Hillary. Total liar, right?

Discuss.

A new generation has grown up watching interminable (piece of shit) movies such as Pirates of the caribbean and Transformers (or Harry Potter and the endless story, or The Hobbit goes for a 9 hours walk), perhaps that’s why under 150 minutes is considered “too short”…

Yeah. I love the Marvel movies, but they mostly all clock in at well over two hours.

I’m totally down with a tighter runtime.

Super jazzed for RDR2.

Me too!!! I LOVED the first one, wished they’d even update it and let me enjoy it on my PS4.

I saw this morning that they’re going to put RDR1 on whatever streaming service it is that lets you play PS3 games on your PS4, which will also make it available on PC? I’m not a Sony guy, so I’m not sure how that works.

This is what kinda worries me. If it’s on PC through the PS Now app or on Xbone’s Play Anywhere thing, they’re less likely to actually optimize it to take advantage of my PC’s power.

Oh hell yeah! Red Dead Redemption 2…

oh. It’s not coming to PC.

Well, Rockstar’s done a great job making sure they never get my money again.

GTAV wasn’t coming to PC at first either, and GTA Online is now one of my favorite PC games at the moment.

They’re just gonna do the double-dip again. =P

I’m not nearly as happy with the state of GTA Online. Maybe I’ll pick Red Dead 2 up at some point, but I’m not looking forward to it. I don’t know why they decided it was a good idea to alienate PC gamers. Oh, wait, I do know why;

Really? I can’t get enough GTA Online. I mean everything is stupidly expensive, but I have so much fun just dicking around in it with friends. And the amount of free DLC support has been really great.

Look me up on GTA Online, same handle. At least on PS4.

I’ve been playing the new BF1 and I’m really enjoying it.

JEDIT: Just saw you’re on PC for GTA, I’d love to have it on PC but I just can’t pull myself to spend ANOTHER $60 for GTA V. I bought it first for Xbox 360 and then again for my PS4.

Aw man. Yeah. I had to wait like two years for it to come out on PC, but there was no way I was double-dipping.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support
Time

Yeah, get out there and socialize. It’s good to get out there sometimes. It’s good that you’re still working up the gumption to get out to work and stuff.

I wouldn’t say that the guy felt like you were wasting his time. I mean, psychologists sort of build their lives around helping people. Don’t worry about that kinda stuff, this is all about you and you getting better after all. It’s fair to feel like you weren’t clicking, though.

I think what would help you most (personally) is a dual psychologist/psychiatrist team where you’re getting both medication and working with someone at the same time. I think you should keep working with the specialist, but if you’re not ready for that yet, that’s fine. Perhaps once the meds kick in and you’ve spent some time with a psychiatrist. In my experience, these things take a holistic approach where you deal with it from several angles.

Keep working!

Star Wars: Rogue One - * Non Spoiler Discussion Thread *

The technology is already here but yeah it’s not easy and probably never will be.

But those wax works or model busts you can scan for a 3D mesh then you use photogrammetry to skin the mesh.

You can do this with any number of frames from a film to skin say an actors head and create a very real version of anyone. But you do need an accurate mesh to skin.

It is in and from this field where the new wave of technology will emerge from virtual reality / augmented reality / 3D scanning and mapping and 3D printing.

The toys of the future based on say a property like STAR WARS will be the actual full scale props scanned and skinned and scaled down and will be practically 100% accurate. And they can be printed out.

Yep.

The second trailer for Assassins Creed is out.

Choreography looks good, but I hope the music they used in the trailer isn’t indicative of the music that’ll be in the movie. Especially when the games had such beautiful tracks as;

What a goofy way to say the name of the game/movie.

Are you talking about at 0:29?

Yeah haha
