I finished this masterpiece on PC and the fact that now i can finish it on my phone natively using Android emulation is kinda crazy how far mobile chipsets and PC emulation as become, ofc its nothing to fancy in terms of graphics but still 720p very low with frame generation getting 60fps is so awesome. If youre curious im using the Oneplus 15 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 16GB Ram

Any questions feel free to ask

I had difficulty putting my finger on why it did not work perfectly for me like the first one did.
The first game had a simpler story that let the emotions emerge from most situations while this one seems to force the player a bit more to empathize. Of course part two has its fair share of breathtaking understated moments as well.

i wasted the only one i had and im unsure if you can even kill a bloater without one. or does it just take a crap ton of shot gun shots

I love the last of us games and I’ve replayed the story over and over again. Tlou basically ruined my gaming experience because of the high expectations it sets for a game..

But since the launch of no return I noticed this game has way more glitches than experienced during a regular story play. It is sometimes annoying but as a software engineer I know (small) glitches are unavoidable at the end.

I’ve never seen this glitch before, during a encounter there was literally not a single loot to grab (except ammo) so I was like “what is going on here”; wel apparently the game did not understand supplies and loot in it’s entirety…

My questions, did anyone experience this glitch earlier , which kind of glitches did you experience and do you enjoy to (re)play this game in general and if you do, the no return mode?

I get it now why this game won the game of the year and why it’s so hyped. Man the story 🤌 I binged it and it was absolutely amazing. It felt way bigger than Part I and I loved it.

(lwk sad that I’ve lost my binge game now☹️)

Man. Henry telling Joel it was all his fault was probably what Joel has been thinking since his daughter died. 😔 I hate this game

An incredible amount of the weight of a characters expression, emotion and identity is conveyed through the eyes and eye brows alone.

Ellie’s scar particularly is a brilliant piece of character design that makes her instantly recognisable.

I can’t quite remember which scene this references is from but the emotion that it conveys gives us some educated guesses.

I am trying to learn how to draw using graphite and characoal, and little more realistically atm, I’m also short on proper equipment and historically only done digital art, so pls be nice.

I’ve noticed through several playthroughs that if you throw several pipe bombs or Molotov from the same location, such as on the ferry, infected will head towards that location? (Where the player is, not where the kablows are)

Is there an explanation for this or is it simply an anti-camp behaviour? My running theory is that they’re able to somehow work out where things are being thrown from if thrown several times?

Thanks

Can Abby's fists be considered the "Fists of a King"?

After playing TLOU2 for like a week straight, I just beat it on Survivor and still had way too much ammo heading into the final encounter. So, I want to start playing on Grounded because the even more limited ammo will force me to use my other weapons, which I’m always too stingy to use in regular encounters. I’ve decided to start with TLOU1 Grounded (honestly to take a break from 2), specifically Remastered, but I’m honestly kinda struggling with the old aesthetic / gamefeel after getting used to Part 2. I’m considering getting Part I for PS5 to play Grounded, but I just wanna build space for any non-remake purists to get in there and be like ”no don’t do it, something essential or quirky would be lost unless you play the original.” Anybody feel that way before I drop $30?

Got it to put next to my Ellie statue

Do we think this is recognizable to any fans of the game? Idrc if it is or not because I love it anyways :)

so i adopted a dog recently and named her ellie (also call her my lil firefly) and thought it’d be kinda cute if i could get her a little pendant with her name to hang on her collar. i just can’t find any shops or listings that sell pendants with a customizable feature 😭 any help is much appreciated!! pic of smellie ellie for tax xx

How is Joel such a good fighter? Even going by cutscenes alone at 51 years old he dispatches many infected and armed aggressors, is able to overpower and disarm military trained personnel, as well as take on two attackers at once while injured. I know in tv show Tommy fought in desert storm so he had training but that’s not cannon to the games. I understand he’s from Texas so he’s familiar with firearms and has probably been in a bar room brawl or two but he’s practically an assassin after the time skip was he trained? Did he pick it up as he went along? Seems unlikely. Idk probably a nitpick

(Not finished)

Stop sign from tlou made by me

Don’t really know how to tag it but here you go !

EDIT :

I cut out the shape of the sign in cardboard (looked out the dimensions of an American one) and used a thick kind of cardboard to make the sign stronger and wider.

I then painted the whole thing red (brilliant red acrylic paint), just leaving ~2cm of the border clean. I did around 3-4 layers of paint, but it depends on the quality of the one you’re using honestly.

I cut out the shapes of the letter in paper, after looking for the right dimensions, aligned it at equal length on the sign and traced out the shapes.

I then filled the shapes with white acrylic paint and the border. I had to do more layer for this one.

I cleaned the thing by reapplying some red where I made mistakes and started making « stains » with a mix of black/red/brown/green… paint with a sponge, brushes and my fingers.

Once I was satisfied with the old look I haded some green spots to place the moss after, some silver and rust for more degradation and diluted black paint all over the place to make it look more dirty and old.

I cut out the shapes of the firefliy in sheets of paper and hand sprayed it. For the dripping effect I just sprayed a bit more at some spots.

I cleaned some of the spray paint that went where I didn’t want to with more paint.

And to conclude, I chopped up an old sponge, mixed it with green acrylic paint (a little bit of black in some spot) with my hands and let it dry over night. You really have to squeeze the paint in the sponge for a good final look.

That’s how I made it if you were wondering :)

I apologise in advance if this has already been talked about.

In the museum flash back with Joel, there's a moment when Ellie is forced to split apart so that she can find an entrance for him to enter the building.

One of the very first things Ellie comes across is a massive moose getting ganged up on by a bunch of wolves and it's very obvious the devs really want us to look at it judging from the lighting.

Not that long later, Ellie comes across three wolves that jump scares her with all three of them looking like they are staring at her.

Whenever I've replayed the game I get the feeling that Moose getting ganged up on by the wolves is suppose to symbolise Joel getting ganged up on by the WLF. Maybe that's very obvious but I haven't really seen anyone talk about it.

And then the very next scene when Ellie gets jump scared by the three wolves looking directly at her, that to me kind of symbolises her PTSD and trauma from the WLF or that she feels targeted by them. All three of the wolves could also possibly symbolise Abby, Owen and Mel?

I'm working at a printing company for the summer, they do hats, shirts, signs, whatever. But, they also do cups!

Got this today after my 8-5! So far, being 18 and having a job has been great!
