I had this in Warhammer 40k: Darktide the other day. I had VC, this guy didn’t and was on Xbox so typing was difficult. He was doing some really bizarre shit and I just said “Man what the hell are you doing?” And he just looked at me and crouched repeatedly, slowly, and stared and I just said “Okay” and followed him.

He knew of a shortcut on the map that none of us knew about that took us down some paths with a ton of items that were hella useful.

This is the one career I wanted to do something in. I started voice acting years ago.

Honestly just seems so pointless lately. Half the time voice over artists are not even recognized or even paid a decent amount. Now they wanna just copy and paste our voice.

I’m tired.

Because voice actors are not considered real actors by SAG-AFTRA. Despite the fact that doing voice over work is typically far more grueling than being in front of a camera. I’ve never met a VOA who wasn’t looked down on by other SAG members. Even by fucking extras. “You just stand in a booth and read lines.”

I’ve been trying to figure out a deadened set up for a while. My closet isn’t big enough as a gay man, no. I’m not going back in. I need one of those lil curtain thingies that create a dead space.

But yeah I agree. Resident Evil 4 killed me for that. So many of the characters sounded amazing and then Ada just stuck out like a sore thumb. I don’t mean because of a poor performance or anything either. I wasn’t totally happy with it but I blame the game director for that, not her for doing what they asked of her. But everyone else was done in a professional set up and her quality is NOTICABLE different. It fucked up the entire DLC for me and I haven’t been able to really enjoy it.

Doing voice acting and then hearing all the ways people mess up in stuff is astounding. Not that I don’t, mind you. I’m not perfect. But my god do you notice all the major errors in every game out there once you start working a bit in the field.

I occasionally record readings and narrations of dumb things on Mastodon but they’re usually just super quick. Like so quick that I don’t even bother fucking with noise reduction or anything. Just get bored and go “I LIEK THIS POEM”

It’s why I love actors who’ve done voice over work. Like most of the Star Trek cast has in one form or another, whether thats for Star Trek Online or another game entirely. All of them saying that it was mind numbing work and it drained them but that they now have enormous respect for people who do that.

While most people look at Critical Role and just go “oh it’s easy!” as if you aren’t spending 4 hours doing exertion noises for climbing fucking stairs.

It is a meme.

Stamets, rok temu

Clearly wasn’t that obvious when you’re nitpicking it and going “Um, actually…”

Stamets, rok temu

If someone doesn’t like it, that’s fine. Just really weird behavior to try and correct a meme. Like… I don’t get it. Just feels like some narcissistic “Well I didn’t like it, no one else is allowed to either” type bullshit. This type of behavior is also insanely common across Lemmy. Most of my meme posts have people doing this shit. I had to put a reminder on one of my posts a while ago to remind people that it was a meme because they were getting so bitter in the comments.

I mean… not sure there’s a correlation there. Also just slightly offensive. Plenty of neurotypical people who are just as arrogant and self absorbed. Being on the spectrum has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Oh I have a very different message to the Sony bosses but saying it could be considered a crime.

World of Warships. Started jumping back into that recently. I dunno why but it’s weirdly peaceful and relaxing for me to play. Might be because I grew up sailing on the ocean due to living on an island.

I do have Alan Wake 2 that I really need to play but I’m also playing Control and Alan Wake 1 at the same time to prepare for AW2. It’s… a lot. But Control I’ve played a half dozen times and will always love. Alan Wake 1 I’ve never actually played but after learning of the shared world in Control I have been meaning to get around to it. Enjoyable so far but I’m barely into it.

Then there’s also God of War Valhalla on the side. Always fun as fuck. Free DLC too. What’s not to love?

Oh and Slay the Spire. Silent go brrrrrr.

Had this conversation with someone on World of Warships the other day…

Wait, really? I never had that issue personally. I just kept forgetting to check my surroundings. I’d targetfocus and then forget that there was either other enemies heading straight for me or wouldn’t check the map and would crash into an ally.

I’m not a smart man.

I love Paradox games so much but my god yes. After Stellaris I vowed to never buy one of their games again. It INFURIATED me that they had a thing you could buy that was specifically for all the DLC and then released more DLC and didn’t include it in that first pack. Made you buy them all individual or to buy a Season Pass which wasn’t mentioned or noted or even suggested would be happening.

Pricks.

Which sucks so much because Surviving Mars is one of my favorite games of all time.

I have no idea what happened with the development of that game in any fashion. I just bought it and like what I played. I never looked into it because I figured most of it was going to be Paradox being Paradox.

I’d agree if they didn’t release a new DLC every two weeks after dropping season passes. There’s a difference between taking advantage of a sustainable business model and then being a money grubby shitbag of a company.

Also, a better sustainable business model would be to develop full games that people can enjoy over a longer period of time instead of needing to constantly tempt them back with new drops that arguably should have been part of the game from the beginning.

Well that’s a flagrant lie. Baldurs Gate 3.

You openly admit you don’t know why the rainbow was chosen for the pride flag but then say that they should change it anyway?

Bruh. Like I said. Utterly nonsensical complaint. Either way we’re not changing it. Gonna have to cope with it buddy.

Warhammer 40k Darktide. Love my lil sexy Zealot. Always looking for new people to play with by the way…
