Her feelings are unjustified and come off as narcissistic. I would be more open to the idea that she was being erased if she wasn't on literally every other poster for the movie. Fans made a poster that they felt more closely resembles the original poster from the franchise that was made over 20 years ago. To assume anything else is a very large stretch.

For her to react this negatively over a fan making their own version of a poster says a great deal more about her, and to me does more damage to her reputation than a poster ever could.

There are literally entire sites and databases dedicated to fan generated poster art. The entire Harry Potter series has thousands of posters that don't include the actors faces and are based off the books. Are those "erasing" the actors? Have we seen Ian mckellan go on a tirade because fans made a two towers poster that doesn't include his face? No, because it's not about them and they don't care.

If her feelings are hurt over one tiny person making a poster that doesn't include her face then that's her problem she needs to tackle herself, not dump on the people who were excited to see her play elphaba.

So yeah. I'm not accepting the victim blaming title because i don't see her as a victim. She made herself a victim in her own mind when one fan did this. You know who I see as the victim? The fan who was probably really excited to see this movie, so excited they made their own poster, and then had the Hollywood celebrity call them out publicly who now has people like you defending her for basically calling this person (who again all we know is just a super big Wicked fan) basically the devil

Literally all she had to do was nothing and it would have passed with no one noticing.

She's literally playing a fantasy witch who has already been played by dozens of other actresses. She's the only one out of all of the previous ones to get upset about this.

If she wants to be noticed for her face, then playing an iconic villain who has been played so many times before isn't her place to be. Fans care about elphaba, her character. She is new to the franchise and making demands of fans who have loved the character much longer than she's been in it.

That was never the point. I'm not commenting on if it's better or not. Her reaction to something a fan made is what we're all talking about.

half your age plus seven. 20 is pretty dang old for 16

Let's put it this way. It's a felony if he has sex with you.

Ha thanks! I should do a write up of it all

Okay so, first you should post on [email protected].

That being said, congrats your factory has officially grown to a large state. 4 cores will NOT be enough to run this game. If you look at htop or something you can see full cpu usage, I'm guessing you'll see one core pinned at 100%

To understand how the server works, it chunks the entire game map and then shards that across available cores. So your 4 core server each core is handling a quarter of the map. That's a lot of factory on one core kemosabe. My server is a 24 core beast with still very high single core rates. You can feel when you're working on another core that has less load when you walk into a new area and your frame rate jumps.

My group has had several iterations of our server, from being on shared resources, to a 48 core thread ripper (plenty of cores but single clock speed wasn't enough), to finally we bought a 5950x for our Update 8 factory - and even then you're still going to notice some rubber banding when you get to late game/factory spans across the entire map big.

Now, thinking about it too, is this happening at intervals? If so, that's your saves happening. As your saves get larger the auto save will take longer, and that means longer time the client doesn't talk to the server, so it rubber bands your last known server positions. If it takes too long the client will disconnect. To fix this just update how long it is allowed before timing out, that's on the dedicated server wiki. We usually call out when a save is about to happen and take it as a break to stand up, stretch, and get more coffee.

Beyond getting more cores and a higher single core clock speed, the other massive thing that will help is spreading your factory out. Allowing your factory to take advantage of multiple chunks and multiple cores will have a noticeable impact. Make very liberal use of trains, my last factory had over 60 rail lines and 100 trains running around. It's a lot easier to manage a train car with 10,000 items stored as an integer than hundreds of miles of interconnected belts that it constantly has to shift around on.

I'll have more info later, should probably write a wiki, but those few changes will have a noticeable impact.

Source, I've ran a dedicated satisfactory server for about 4 years now, on bare iron, docker, and in kubernetes. Helped many others set up their servers too

I always said the Harry Potter movies should have been a series, each book getting a mini 6 episode season or something.

Unfortunately that cast was great, and to be the time is passed. I know they're trying to do it again - but at this point I love the movies, they could have just been better. I don't have any hopes that they could recreate the magic.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 15 hours ago

That's what I don't get, it's obviously the character. It's not about who's acting the character, but you're the Wicked witch. One of the most iconic villains in all of history. The hat literally does speak more than the face

[–] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago

It really sounds like this was a sticking point to her. I said elsewhere, but it really sounds like she's the one who forced her full face to be seen on the poster, or at least that's the impression she leaves us with after reading this.

Which makes me think that the original design was closer to the original, and sounds like she made a stink about it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 16 hours ago

Guaranteed this whole thing came up before that it didn't match the style. She showed her cards and now makes it sound like she was the one who pushed against matching the original. Now that the fans see it and dislike it (probably like they warned that fans would), she's mad about it. It really sounds like she pushed for this design so it wouldn't hide her face and now she's furious that fans reacted in the exact way that was predicted.

Sorry it was a screenshot of a screenshot I'm pretty sure. Yeah I mean, I'm not going to go and say the fan edit is a masterpiece or anything, but it's fan content. They obviously love wicked and wanted to match the original poster.

Getting upset at fan content is a weird take. On one hand you could see that they're excited for your work and just ignore it, or you could do... This.

The best part is that this is pure Steisand effect. No it would have seen the fan edit if she had just ignored it

It's a bloody Mary, that one is honestly pretty tame compared to others I've seen.

Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.

Original Broadway Poster:

Movie poster:

Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”

So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.

We’ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend. This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually. Excited to announce that The Official Eras Tour Book, filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night AND …. The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD will all be available for the first time ever only at @Target starting Nov 29th. 🤍
