I wonder if Elon has played Cyberpunk 2077 or is planning to because I would love to hear his opinion about it. The entire game is a dystopian nightmare where large corporations control everything. He would probably think it's the greatest thing in the world, and not realize it would be absolute hell.

CD Projekt Red cast Grimes in a minor role for the game, so Elon, jealous that his girlfriend was going to be in a cyberpunk and he wasn't, showed up to her recording session in the studio with a 200 year old flintlock musket and very strongly implied in his atonal Rick Bish way "put me in the game too or I'll shoot one of you, I don't care who."

he probably hasn't played it, because he would have cosplayed, or at least bragged about owning some sort of trinket from the game.

The role they cast him in after it was all said and done is "Shifty guy tweaking in the corner of a gender neutral bathroom who the player character tells to gently caress off, which he does, and then gets replaced by a generic NPC a couple patches later after the story of him threatening his way into the game broke."

Grimes Cameo in Cyberpunk is truly awkward.

She's really not entirely sure how her mousy, lisping 14y girl voice should emphasize the lines she has.

There was a South Park episode about how Hollywood only wants to make movies starring gay black women. "Put a chick in it, make her lame and gay" is quote from that episode that idiots have been repeating since.

So, out of morbid curiosity, just how openly transphobic are Matt Stone and Trey Parker nowadays?

That was one of their generic Chinese business man NPCs with similar hair to Elon. People couldn't tell that in the dark bathroom lighting. They changed it because they were sick of people who never played the game insisting that it was the voiced role Musk demanded at gunpoint.

The senior quest designer is pretty clear about it never being an Elon cameo.

DicktheCat posted:

They're trying to make it the everything app, but it's pretty much useless for any purpose at this point.

There was a golden sliver of years that it was useful to me as a way to keep up with people, post art, see art, and make announcements for commission openings. A lot of conventions used it to announce things, and I could keep up with a lot of important things.

Then, they decided that a chronological feed was for chumps (no, putting the settings back won't be permanent), and I needed to see content from people I wasn't following (no, saying you don't want to see that won't be permanent).

What tore it for me actually happened a while before Musk got ahold of it. I had a client that was actually a pretty decently known rapper, and a good one, at that. Twitter was our point of contact, and their buggy DM system didn't send me his replies on some time- sensitive requests until a couple hours before his new single was going live. I'll die angry about it, and refuse to use Twitter as a primary contact for anything professional.

Eat poo poo and die, whoever decided that I needed to get notifications for tweets that don't involve me, instead of loading my DMs. I hope you have forever stubbed toes.

Why were you using Twitter (of all things) for something like that?

To be fair thats 99.99999% of the world.
No one wants to fart up a poo poo storm in a public restroom, you always hold it in until you think there is no one else in.
While they are holding in theirs hoping you will get out first.

Many a silent poop war goes on across the land.

Has Musk at least made the Twitter video player not poo poo yet? Cause maybe he should start there before begging creators to believe that comments and likes and a fake view counter are worth more than YouTube revenue

I think he legitimately has just given up entirely at this point and wants to post through it with Linda and his right wing buddies that everything continues to go great and that its in fact Hollywood that needs fixing. This also means the wild hairbrained overnight changes may slow down as well. He's just very very concerned about the "woke mind virus" and non white people doing things now.

im almost 40 but to clarify i meant games designed specifically to be competitive multiplayer did not exist back then. certainly you can play any game - video or otherwise - competitively but it was not nearly as mainstream compared to these days with twitch and esports scenes etc
