If youve seenKraven the Hunter or just been online, you probably know about an odd moment that occurs midway through the film. After being informed that his goons died trying and failing to kidnap the titular hunter, Alessandro Nivolas Aleksei Systevich lets out a scream that sounds like a dying machine of some kind. Youd think it was meant to set up his transformation into the Rhino later in the film, or even get some kind of reaction out of his top goon. But neither happens, so it just exists as a weird moment in a movie that could stand to be more interesting in general.What happened here? According to Nivola in a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, hed initially done a silent scream during shooting basically because he decided to at that moment. It seemed to pay off since it got the crew to laugh, and director J.C. Chandor later told him that take would be kept in the films final cut. But at some point during post-production, things changed, and that strange sound he makes was something done in post-production. He thinks its not as effective as the quiet scream, and he mightve had a point, given how memetic its become over the past month. In that same interview, Nivola gave some thoughts on whyKravengot critically raked over the coals. By his telling, being on set was a really joyful experience, and he enjoyed getting to run wild with Chandor and co-star Christopher Abbott. (The three previously teamed on Chandors 2014 filmA Most Violent Year.) He said there didnt seem to be any production problems from his perspective, and noted some of the films issues probably starts to play out in the edit. On these kinds of movies, you hear about all the wranglings at the studio, and maybe there were too many chefs. DespiteKravensnegative reception, Nivolas been taking it stride. Hes grateful to the reviews thatve praised his performance, but otherwise, hes fine avoiding the black hole that can be critical and fan responses. It probably helps this isnt the only film hes in lately: you can also see him inThe BrutalistandThe Room Next Door,both of which are in theaters now, or will be later in January. Want more io9 news?

Ive already posted my work, and someone asked about the mesh. Can anyone explain to me, without going crazy, why a super-optimized mesh is necessary for a model? I get it if your PC is a potato or it's for a mobile game, but why obsess over this for everything else? Take any random weapon from a gameits probably just a remesh from ZBrush or done with Quad Remesher. And if its in Unreal Engine, it could even be a Nanite model that uses the high-poly with textures directly. Seriously, it feels like everyone learned from outdated tutorials made by old-school devs who were modeling for the first Half-Life. Polygons dont put as much strain on the system as textures do, yet no one teaches how to optimize texture space. Instead, you always hear, Uh, too many polygons are bad, or N-gons are evil, as if there are no other pipelines besides high-poly and low-poly. Nothing else.

Squid Game Season 2 takes things to a whole new level, bringing fans an exhilarating follow-up to the global phenomenon that took the world by storm. This season has a lot more action, better villains, deeper character arcs, and more when compared to its previous installment. Though fans are debating over which season is better, there's no denying that they all appreciate the screen time that the Front Man got this time, along with the determination of the players to fight back.

Big Mom is one of the most important characters in One Piece, and someone that fans absolutely relished as a villain in the post-time skip of the series. Even though Big Mom turned out to be the secondary antagonist of the Wano Country Arc, she was still absolutely phenomenal to watch. It is a shame that Big Mom was not dealt with properly by Oda and essentially rushed off the screen simply because he wanted to put more focus on Kaido, due to Wano being his arc.

I have started out with idea that all chess games out here are missing fun.The game itself is rewarding and also healthy if we consider nowadays sneaky tactics to manipulate our dopamine levels.So I have created a game that is rewarding and player feels progression and wont feel stuck.And wont feel stupid - so he wont churn from learning to doomscrooling.Iam looking for beta testers to try it and tell me what they think, what they would change.tr
