I'd thought about asking, but I'm almost only ever regularly available past 21:00 PST/PDT, which is like the worst time since anyone in a later US time zone is often going to bed and everyone in Europe is already asleep.

thanks, I appreciate it!

there are some weird things I hope they fix/change about Factions 2.0, one of which being the ability to mark someone through a railing lol. it wasn't even blocking my view at all, but I think the hitbox for it must have been ever so slightly in the way still, because I must have clicked it at least 5-6 times.

I normally have every Tuesday off, but my work hosed up and scheduled me tomorrow. I am down for pretty much every upcoming Tuesday though. Last week was a blast. So much fun.

I am scared that once you guys figure out my tricks, my days of looking like a badass are extremely numbered though lol.

If we're only doing like 90 mins or so (which is fine) I'd be up for throwing down a little earlier than last week, maybe 11 or 11:30 pst / GMT 7 or 7: 30


or we can do the tlou stream first in the day and then send you on your way to the Returnal session. I leave it to the brits.

I read GMT as "grand mountain time" because our mountains are so grand and was like "no i don't care if I am off work I am not playing tlou at 7 am. Luckily I live in regular Mountain Time though. It's Britney mountain time, bish.

Hmmm. I usually start streaming at 6:30 on tuesday, so it would be 10:30 pst which is very early. Most american friends would not be around I do not think. I am almost at the end of returnal too and jonesing to find those secrets. Ummm.

If we started early, who would be around?

I can do 10:30 for this time, and yeah we don't always have to do the same time, we can switch it up as we go. Perhaps you and esco can poll in the PS5 thread, starting early this time might allow a few more uk/euro and USA easterners to join. Who knows

I have to go now. My planet needs me.
One thing I'm curious how the TV will adapt the storytelling of the game is how well the games use the idea of leaving things out and narratively skipping ahead during plot points. For example, Left Behind ends with Riley being infected - we know from the main game that Elle kills her, but we're not shown that happening onscreen.

Or how after the prologue, we get that cut to the credits with little audio snippets, then smash cut to the twenty years later card. We don't get told what happened to Joel in that time, but we can piece it together through context and clues he gives us.

HBO is part of Warner Media which is owned by AT&T who have loving billions of gently caress you money dedicated to anything related to Warner Media and HBO/HBO Max.

AT&T believes the companies future is a media company and is fully prepared to sink or swim that way.

Sink, more like. AT&T just signed a deal to divest of Warner Media and spin it into a merge with Discovery. It seems like the paper pusher guy who spearheaded the whole HBOmax thing under AT&T alienated a lot of talent during COVID and may have been pushed out by consensus but who knows, corps always pretend like these kinds of things are consensual and amicable.

The concierge from White Lotus is confirmed to be in the TLOU show as well and he is fantastic in that.

Also Anna Torv is a good pick for Tess.

Working for HBO is the ultimate endgame of any TV production studio. It doesn’t matter who owns what, HBO still commands a level of prestige that nothing else comes close to. What’s the next biggest premium cable channel, Starz?

LOL. That paper pusher who spearheaded HBOmax became CEO of AT&T when Stephenson stepped down.

HBO still cranks out quality content so I’m not worried how they are structured into any company.

Oh god, just imagining the product placement.

I just hope they have a few scenes of Joel or Ellie picking up a note left behind and flipping it back and forth so we can admire the physics of the paper movement.

Some fun factions games y'all! Gradually improving. Bonkers going up against some high level sweats at the end. I can't imagine playing the same game for drat near 7 years. I think the most hours I ever sunk into a game was Battlefield 3 on PS3 at around 650hrs and I thought that was excessive

You're definitely getting the hang of it, that mid-firefight shiv you got in the suburbs was clutch.

Went and played a lil more solo this evening. Interrogation is a pretty fun game mode. Lasts for a while and you can get everything upgraded fairly easily. Definitely need a full group of 8 to play though.

Best part is that shiv-ing counts towards an interrogation. :ese:
