jamessumneriii

time to be SUPER normal and post for the first time in months to say hey hey, if anyone in LA is down for DMT vape carts, my guy has a couple. holler at me if you need to break through reality etc

jamessumneriii

belated (clearly) but 2021 was the first i did a costume in years and i was pretty stoked:

jamessumneriii

hell yeah. i hope you get that radiant glow i've seen people get when they quit a job. beatific even

jamessumneriii

i stumbled onto the YACHT sub versions last week and my opinion is still ill-formed since i've just been listening to their cover of Isolation on loop for 30m, followed by the original looped for 30m rinse and repeat

closer is hellaciously underrated imho

jamessumneriii

the late for meeting video is maybe the best way to explain to people "when my work has bugs it's absolutely hilarious nightmare body horror/comedy"

jamessumneriii

Untitled Goose Game is getting two-player co-op and i couldn't be more delighted

jamessumneriii

to get emo for a sec, this part of TLOU2 choked me up for real, where you can show someone scared of dogs how to play fetch with alice. it was the thing i was proudest of my dog greta for, how she was gentle and playful and approachable for ppl / kids initially leery of not-small dogs: https://i.img...

jamessumneriii

[mention]tim[/mention] belated but hell yeah, stoked you enjoyed it! it's not exactly a chillax good-times game but i'm super excited that ppl i know/like/respect dig it

jamessumneriii

[mention]infopetal[/mention] did you ever hit up cumberland island in your georgia days? i did that with some friends like 10 years ago and it was AMAZING iirc it was a getaway spot for the überrich in the teens and twenties but got abandoned in the great depression. the result are these amazing imp...

jamessumneriii

[mention]yourfriendclaire[/mention] not dumb at all! that can vary a lot depending on the game. but these days most "realistic" games use a base layer of mocap that animators adjust / tweak / dial up or down. so in TLOU2 main actors def wore the mocap suit for cinematics / cut-scenes but y...

jamessumneriii

i also have an intense fascination with this stretch of italian gore-hounds making horror movies in the south circa 1978–84: the Beyond in NOLA, Zombi 4 or 5 in the bayou and shreveport, and City of the Living Dead is filmed in Savannah GA with the town standing in for a New England town with a hist...

jamessumneriii

ok I think enough time has passed that I can cheat…my internet sleuthing leads me to guess…The Beyond! TRUE THAT and sorry to leave that fallow for so long, didn't mean to slow down the game i love into NOLA on the causeway so much: 23 miles driving like 10-12 feet off the water of lake pontchartra...

jamessumneriii

[mention]yourfriendclaire[/mention] & [mention]joni[/mention] awesome glad y'all enjoyed it!

and totally happy to field questions / ideas / discussion on the game H M U

jamessumneriii

when the croquet ball hit

jamessumneriii

[mention]yourfriendclaire[/mention] there WAS a game where you could try and scale the mountains encircling the game map, and either a booming voice of text imitating a booming voice is like YOU SHALL GO NO FURTHER and kills you if you keep at it. i thought it was elder scrolls oblivion but i can't ...

jamessumneriii

[mention]yourfriendclaire[/mention] that's awesome congrats!!!!!! i similalrly did not really know that about publishing i think "gating" is more like in TLOU2 you open a door going into a area, something dramatic happens, but your NPC buddy has closed the door behind him, or rubble shuts ...

jamessumneriii

[mention]tim[/mention] awesome, glad you're digging it

RIP VITA

jamessumneriii

[mention]joni[/mention] i'm actually with you in principle, assassins creed origins actually had a zero-combat/story mode that was free for schools, so you could just walk around and climb the sphinx and watch women weave papyrus and hear the mix of coptic and greek on the streets of alexandria and ...

jamessumneriii

[mention]alex[/mention] yeah some parts get nasty. the difficulty settings are super granular so if you want a buddy char to be more aggressive, or more ammo/crafting drops, or more forgiving stealth (and a bunch more) then you can tweak those all individually. i'm about to hit the courthouse in my ...

jamessumneriii

long term planning, never been my forte

jamessumneriii

i am enjoying lurking this thread and forming very very vague ideas of preserves etc

jamessumneriii

lmao also a fan of K-9 esp but alas this movie ends more messily

jamessumneriii

hint: it's been my favorite bridge for like 32+ years i.e. it takes place in a state bordering mississippi

jamessumneriii

ahhh ok they've all sent now, cool

jamessumneriii

can do! or rather am currently trying to do? both the PMs to [mention]joni[/mention] and to [mention]alex[/mention] are in my outbox but not in sent messages, is there something about PMs that i'm missing?

(the one to @alex seems to have gone through fine)

jamessumneriii

pm'd codes to [mention]tim[/mention] and [mention]alex[/mention]. and i since got a third code yesterday so any one else holler and i'll pm you if it's still available

jamessumneriii

apropos the game: if anyone wants a ps4 code for The Last of Us Part II, reply here and @ me i have two codes up for grabs right now. first reply first uh becodèd

jamessumneriii

[mention]meadows[/mention] thanks! it was an exhausting year but i'm really stoked to see ppl play it finally

jamessumneriii

wait does that mean i go next well it does now k'PLAHHH

jamessumneriii

[mention]yourfriendclaire[/mention] & [mention]rcnederveld[/mention] i have plex as well and am down to help host/sync up, all the more so since i'm basically incapable of relaxing and watching anything longer than 10 minutes unless a fixed time to watch with a friend or friends makes me case in...

jamessumneriii

[mention]rcnederveld[/mention] Baby Driver! I knew I'd seen another decent signed interaction in a movie recently, couldn't think of it oh that's so cool re Ridloff, didn't know about that. I don't think Makkari is deaf in the comics but I also haven't kept up with comics in a while, so don't quote ...

jamessumneriii

well even though i haven't seen hal hartley films, i always TRUST the recommendations of my like-minded friends

jamessumneriii

ah by HH i meant the director's initials. but man that would be a LOT of new flesh giblets if all those TVs started popping off HH = a hometown icon of outer boroughs/LI filmmaking, but not in the horror/weirdo vein that i personally know better off-hand. which is why i asked my boys chat, because b...

jamessumneriii

jamessumneriii

[mention]rcnederveld[/mention] can you think of deaf/signing culture in movies where deafness/signing is normalized, in the sense that it isn't stigmatized or over-explained or over-dramatized, just "there are characters who sign instead of/in addition to speaking, read the dang subtitles"...

jamessumneriii

at the risk of veering academic and/or detached, the history of the deaf culture in martha's vineyard in the 18th-early 20th centuries is fascinating: widespread deafness in the population resulted an almost complete integration of deaf persons in normal community life (basically unheard of in mains...

jamessumneriii

[mention]GARY-19[/mention] very cool article! also a nice outline of where deaf culture (which usually includes hearing family members fluent in sign) intersects with physical deafness/HoH one of the bigger youtube asl teachers is dr bill vicars, and in one video (can't remember which or i would lin...

jamessumneriii

[mention]willowowow[/mention] i do my lessons through italki.com, which has been a good fit for how i pick up languages conversationally i haven't seen crip camp but that sounds great! drunk history had a really good segment on the same ADA activists (with all disabled actors iirc) and yeah they wer...

jamessumneriii

they knew but in the interest of sporting fun i will only say this:

they confirmed my suspicion of a HH vibe and reiterated that i should finally watch some of HH's movies

jamessumneriii

any more guesses? i was gonna run it by two friends with danker film knowledge than me

jamessumneriii

god this song slaps so hard

jamessumneriii

not asl but for some hilarious precedent for subtle resistance from translators and interpreters, arabic graffiti artists hired for the show homeland did some truly magnificent work a while back

jamessumneriii

[mention]GARY-19[/mention] oh totally, and to be clear i mean that as a broad statement re perceived exaggeration but am refraining from making the call whether the interpreter is mocking the speaker or not and in the "maybe mocking" column i can say that broadly, asl speakers tend to not ...

jamessumneriii

not a small protest either

jamessumneriii

[mention]meadows[/mention] oh wow that rules!

santa monica/venice protest update: i am taking it as a positive social sign that while walking to one protest in venice i have literally walked into another protest

jamessumneriii

[mention]w0lf[/mention] omg i just got a label-maker and i love it so much. i'm not a "since 2005 packrat" but i'm pretty dang packrat and it's proving to be a lifesaver for knowing what the fuck is what without opening boxes and storage containers

semi-cross post: good games for good cause: there's a jumbo itch.io game bundle and all proceeds are split between NAACP legal funds and community bail funds even if the other 7 3 9 GAMES were garbage, minit , oxenfree , and night in the woods are absolute gems. minit in particular should've gotten ...

i've been taking some ASL lessons via skype on and off the past six months, not nearly good enough to gloss this without english captions or sound but fwiw: yep facial expression are integral parts of ASL, both semantically (ex: eyebrows up or down distinguishes wh-questions and yes/no-questions and...

jamessumneriii

more extensive street medic resources, way beyond what i can vouch for but worth filing under "better to have and not need than to need and not have": paperrevolution.org riotmedicine.net what i can 100% vouch for is this megascale itch.io game bundle —all proceeds are split between NAACP ...
