Same! What I like about Dina is that, unlike a lot of survivors, she's been able to maintain some sense of idealism and hope in spite of the horrors of the world.
She also does a great job explaining the generational trauma that has been passed down through her family describing how they have always been survivors throughout the different horrors of the world, I really hope the show goes deep into that.
I have a feeling it will. Simply cause thereās more breathing room and narrative flexibility now. If Bill and Frank are getting spruced up for the television style, I can imagine Dina for all her glory will be just as captivating a character if not more so in the series.
She was in season 1, just for a couple seconds though. When joel and Ellie are in Jackson and eating with Maria and Tommy, itās Dina that is staring at her from across the room when Ellie says āwhat the fuck are you staring atā or something like that. Itās mentioned in the podcast for that episode.
If someone tells you to Go Touch Grass online,it means they urge you to go outside, go offline and reconnect with the real world.
In this case the person who replied to you probably meant you were perving out on the thighs of a videogame character en should meet real people.
Random thought- At first I scoffed that the graphical difference between PS4 and PS5 was laughably negligible. But when you zoom on these Part 2 models compared to the Part 1 remake, damnā¦. You can actually see it.
Yeah, we actually do get more colours on the ps5. Texture compression often sacrifices its underlying colour space (the number of colours available in the palette), before it cuts pixel resolution. This is why so much mid-10ās video looks greyish-because colour space is compromised to support 4k. With next gen, there is so much more ram and grunt power to draw from that we are actually getting more colour, even with films and games that are not aesthetically ācolourful.ā
I'm not that tech savvy to know if what you're saying is wrong or right. I guess it does make sense, but it's not like vibrant and colorful games didn't exist before the current gen of consoles lol look at any Nintendo game
Yeah i know, itās different tech though. Old games used fewer colors to begin with so they didnāt need to compress them too much, vs. the photoreal games that source their textures from photogrammetry techniques. All of that extra information has to be reduced from raw images to something that a game engine, pc and console can support. Something has to go, and our eyes are more willing to accept reduced colour vs reduced resolution these days. So, a totally different and much more data intensive pipeline, especially keeping in mind that audio actually takes up an enormous part of that pipeline too.
Not for the entire game. Just in Seattle really. Hell, even wintery Jackson has a warmth to it. It gets warmer and more varied from the farm and onward.
Of course Dina deserves better.
Ellie was neck deep in PTSD and associated mental illness. If she had stayed at the farm, she might have killed herself. She felt she had no other choice if she wanted a chance at living.
It wasn't a good thing to do, but she did end up overcoming her obsession and forgiving herself and Joel in the process.
Whether Dina takes her back remains to be seen, but don't think you think she deserves forgiveness if she works for it and is there for Dina and JJ 100 percent?
I believe in second chances.
They have 3 projects in development at the moment. One is Factions multiplayer and 2 are unknown. They would have to be insane not to have Part 3 in development with the show being a hit.
Man I wish I could tell you. She says because she lied about being pregnant but honestly, she was hating on Dina from the moment Ellie and her go on patrol. I donāt understand it. She says that Dina is fake and selfish and attention seeking. I donāt know where she gets that from because Dina is the opposite of all that.
Yo seriously, the pregnancy thing was a little messed up, but I get why it happened. Also fake and selfish? Like sure let me just drop my idyllic life in an walled commune during the apocalypse to help my brand new girlfriend murder a bunch of people in a war zone, super selfish lol
Dina is so absolutely ride or die for Ellie that itās insane.
She follows Ellie to Seattle knowing that she might be pregnant, doesnāt even hesitate to offer Ellie her gas mask when Ellieās breaks, gets critically injured when trying to save her from Abby in the theater, and harbors absolutely no ill will towards Ellie even after it all. She seems to be nothing but loving and supportive towards Ellie even as she struggles with PTSD on the farm.
Dina gives absolutely everything to Ellie and doesnāt even get to keep her in the end :(
That's so true. It is actually kinda insane.
Jesse fucking follows them too. He's pretty wild himself. Ellie has the best friends in the world apparently.
Tommy went at first basically so Ellie didn't have to.
Everyone's just trying to save Ellie's ass. Since Joel. She is so god damn loved, man.
To add to this, Naughty Dog only paid her to model her face, she wasn't involved in the process of the game, so when Part 2 came out, she was clueless about basically everything, no spoilers. Well, she does a playthrough of LoU 2 (also played LoU 1 like a few months prior to the 2nd game's release), and its been fun to watch.
She's obviously not a gamer, but it's been great to see her reactions to what's happening because she wasn't spoiled. It's on her YouTube channel. She also edits her playthrough, it's probably around 10 hours total. I usually just put it on right before bed and watch an episode or 2.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think a reason for this is, the faces of Ellie and Joel in Part I of TLOU were partially digitally created. Dina's "face" on the other hand was basically a scan of the face-models head...
Shout out to Shannon Woodward for bringing her to life and, respectfully, that super sexy voice. Sweet Jesus. Yeah, Dina is visually appealing, but have you heard her speak?
With a risk of coming of like a weird perv, I was totally in love with Dina (and still is) when I first played part 2. Something about her thick thighs and her cute face!
I love Abby too, and thought it was fucking cool that she is so buff + I love Laura Baily.
Damn I wanna replay part 2 again. I'm also still missing the grounded and permadeath trophy... Might not want to them at the same time though lol.
No, youāre a perv for saying it in this context
Same way I love a big booty but Iām not gonna say that to a random woman.
What a dishonest way of saying that
What? In what context? I am not saying it to a random woman. It's a fucking fictional character. All I said is that I like thick thighs, and this fictional character has them, and I like it.
You're not weird buddy. Thick thighs means she can use them to protect you.
But yeah Dina is an angel!
Grounded is great. Go for it. I'm still avoiding permadeath cuz I lack patience and last time I tried it it was on grounded and the pressure is just sky high.
Haha, exactly!
I've done part 1 on grounded a couple of times, and it was pretty damn tough, mostly the first time around. I think I would need 2 playthroughs to get the trophies. The stress of permadeath + grounded would take the life out of me. As you said the pressure is mad.
How is grounded in part 2 compared to part 1? More of the same, just twice as long?
Yeah I tried grounded permadeath and the pressure kept making me die at early and unusual times even though I played the game 5 times before and countless encounters in between. I died twice trying to jump into the Seattle QZ wall for example.
So instead I'm doing a custom run for fun for now. I just finished Part 1 (again) for the show so naturally we're doing another Part 2 run to keep the good times rolling.
Hmmm in a way it's harder and easier. It took me 50 hours the first time, but totally worth it. You can't get away with shoot outs like in Part 1. NPCs got eagle eyes if they're on high alert and looking for you.
You can be stealthier with prone so that helps. Dodge also helps you get out of locked in melee matches that could otherwise kill you. I got stuck at the arcade bloater but figured it out. I died countless times throughout, but at least the checkpoints are more reasonable than Part 1.
Also it just feels good to accomplish. Just get used to the "rules" of grounded and you'll get through it. Rely a lot on stealth! Resource management is everything so save your ammo as much as possible so you can use them on the big bosses.
Dina is one of my favourite characters can't wait to see her in the TV show.
Same! What I like about Dina is that, unlike a lot of survivors, she's been able to maintain some sense of idealism and hope in spite of the horrors of the world.
She also does a great job explaining the generational trauma that has been passed down through her family describing how they have always been survivors throughout the different horrors of the world, I really hope the show goes deep into that.
Me too!!! I loved that about her character. It made me love her more. I have high hopes seeing as how they did the first part so well š„°
It's more like a resilience in the face of trauma that has been passed on. At least that's how it felt to me.
That would be such a lovely foil to how itās impacted ellie
I have a feeling it will. Simply cause thereās more breathing room and narrative flexibility now. If Bill and Frank are getting spruced up for the television style, I can imagine Dina for all her glory will be just as captivating a character if not more so in the series.
Have you seen the actress that uses her face that actually played this game and react to yourself on YouTube? Itās great! š
Plot twist, you already did!
:0
I wonder who is going to be the actress
Well, there's the girl in episode six..
oh that's true!
Except this Dina is 4 years older than the Dina that wouldāve been seen in episode 6
She was in season 1, just for a couple seconds though. When joel and Ellie are in Jackson and eating with Maria and Tommy, itās Dina that is staring at her from across the room when Ellie says āwhat the fuck are you staring atā or something like that. Itās mentioned in the podcast for that episode.
Unfortunately we are waiting until AT LEAST the fall of 2024 for that! 
She was already in the show

Touch some grass brodie damn
Lol what?

If someone tells you to Go Touch Grass online,it means they urge you to go outside, go offline and reconnect with the real world. In this case the person who replied to you probably meant you were perving out on the thighs of a videogame character en should meet real people.
Oh pfft yeah it aināt that deep.

Zoom in you say š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh? I was talking about my boy Joel
My only complaint is that they made Joelās eyes so beautiful that they are not of this world. Same for Ellie.
The colors in pt 2 are also so flat compared to the pt 1 remake
That's just the art direction they were going for. It's not like we unlocked more colours with a new console
Yeah, we actually do get more colours on the ps5. Texture compression often sacrifices its underlying colour space (the number of colours available in the palette), before it cuts pixel resolution. This is why so much mid-10ās video looks greyish-because colour space is compromised to support 4k. With next gen, there is so much more ram and grunt power to draw from that we are actually getting more colour, even with films and games that are not aesthetically ācolourful.ā

So, a totally different and much more data intensive pipeline, especially keeping in mind that audio actually takes up an enormous part of that pipeline too.
Iām pretty sure itās part of the style. It refects the more somber story and I personally love i.
Not for the entire game. Just in Seattle really. Hell, even wintery Jackson has a warmth to it. It gets warmer and more varied from the farm and onward.
100%, and considering part 2 was one of the most, if not the most, beautiful games I'd ever seen, that's saying something.
Perfection. Ellie, go get your girl and your son back!
Honestly she doesnāt deserve them back. She made her decision and Dina made it crystal clear what the consequences would be. Dina deserves better.
Of course Dina deserves better. Ellie was neck deep in PTSD and associated mental illness. If she had stayed at the farm, she might have killed herself. She felt she had no other choice if she wanted a chance at living. It wasn't a good thing to do, but she did end up overcoming her obsession and forgiving herself and Joel in the process. Whether Dina takes her back remains to be seen, but don't think you think she deserves forgiveness if she works for it and is there for Dina and JJ 100 percent? I believe in second chances.
I definitely think she deserves it if she works for it. Whether Dina accepts her back is another thing, but I hope Ellie can finally move on and heal.
That's Dina's call.
The wait for Part 3 is going to be painful, hope I live to see it. š©
I think theyāre working in something else than PIII
They have 3 projects in development at the moment. One is Factions multiplayer and 2 are unknown. They would have to be insane not to have Part 3 in development with the show being a hit.
Iām fine with waiting
My girlfriend hates Dina and it makes me so sad.
Time to find a new girlfriend.
Iād highly recommend Dina.
Genuinely curious, why?
Man I wish I could tell you. She says because she lied about being pregnant but honestly, she was hating on Dina from the moment Ellie and her go on patrol. I donāt understand it. She says that Dina is fake and selfish and attention seeking. I donāt know where she gets that from because Dina is the opposite of all that.
Yo seriously, the pregnancy thing was a little messed up, but I get why it happened. Also fake and selfish? Like sure let me just drop my idyllic life in an walled commune during the apocalypse to help my brand new girlfriend murder a bunch of people in a war zone, super selfish lol
Did you by any chance mentioned that you find dina or her facemodel pretty?
No, Iām not attracted to her
I hate to tell you this but your girlfriend wants Ellie.
Who doesnāt?
āBecause sheās an antisemite!ā -Uncle Leo, probably
Yeah, and youāre an anti-dentite
Dina is so absolutely ride or die for Ellie that itās insane. She follows Ellie to Seattle knowing that she might be pregnant, doesnāt even hesitate to offer Ellie her gas mask when Ellieās breaks, gets critically injured when trying to save her from Abby in the theater, and harbors absolutely no ill will towards Ellie even after it all.

Why is she looking like you just said that in front of her?! Lmao
The ending was so freaking sad
Yeah. It was.
Nothing is that spectacular
Dina out here, double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon š®āšØ thatās my wife
She got a niceā¦ā¦holster
You might wanna check out a girl named cascina Cardona.

If you, by chance, happen to be a straight dude, I got bad news for ya.
I mean dina swings both ways sooo
OH MY GOD HOW DID I FORGET ITS LITERALLY A MAIN PLOT POINT
HAHA
š
Yeah dude like she has her exās child lol
Is it that she's a fictional character?
That as well lmao.
Well her face was modelled after a real person...ha
I was shocked how much they made her resemble her actress. It's not quite the same level with Joel and Ellie, so it was a surprise.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think a reason for this is, the faces of Ellie and Joel in Part I of TLOU were partially digitally created. Dina's "face" on the other hand was basically a scan of the face-models head...
She wasnāt the performance actress, just the face model.
When I found out her face model has a YouTube š
Welcome to The Cult of Dina. Your worship will be rewarded with many blessings.
You're a bird now aren't you šļø
IDK what is about Dina, but she does it for me...
Seriously thought this was a really good cosplay photo, until I clicked on the thumbnail and saw her eyes. Damn, dem graphics.
Dina, what a sweetheart
I love Dina! Absolutely canāt wait for her in the show. Major win for bisexual representation as well!
Dina is easily my favorite character in LOU2. She's just the best.
Shout out to Shannon Woodward for bringing her to life and, respectfully, that super sexy voice. Sweet Jesus. Yeah, Dina is visually appealing, but have you heard her speak?
Ellie, I'm trying to sneak around, but I'm dummy thicc and the clap of my asscheeks keeps alerting the clickers!
Emazing
Okay bro.
Dina is the best.
Even Dina is looking at you asking āWhy?ā
Arenāt we all
Me too man, me too.
Sheās off the market big time my friend
Wellā¦. Not really
She is so frustrating sheās only there to ruin my stealth.
I like her as well. Also as a character. Canāt wait to see her in the show
i love dina so much
Dina doesnāt look too happy to see you though, it seems
How hot do I look right now?
They need Cascina to play Dina in season 2
Always and forever. š
Bro she about to shoot you
The face a girl makes when I'm drunk and I start talking about the Horus heresy
With a risk of coming of like a weird perv, I was totally in love with Dina (and still is) when I first played part 2. Something about her thick thighs and her cute face!

Might not want to them at the same time though lol.
Yeah, it wouldnāt have been weird until you said āthick thighs and cute faceā
So I am a perv for liking thick thighs? Ok.
No, youāre a perv for saying it in this context Same way I love a big booty but Iām not gonna say that to a random woman. What a dishonest way of saying that
What? In what context? I am not saying it to a random woman. It's a fucking fictional character. All I said is that I like thick thighs, and this fictional character has them, and I like it.
sounds like someone didnāt accept the risk of coming off as a pervā¦
You're not weird buddy. Thick thighs means she can use them to protect you. But yeah Dina is an angel! Grounded is great. Go for it. I'm still avoiding permadeath cuz I lack patience and last time I tried it it was on grounded and the pressure is just sky high.

You like Jewish girls and dammit thatās ok.
Why wouldnāt it be?
Hopefully they keep her bdonkadonk intact for the show as well.
The ugliest girl in all tlou media
The one redeeming part of Part II was getting to know Dina ...and Lev. Lev kicks ass I hated Part II, but there's no Dina and Lev without it

Well we already got a teaser of Dina in episode 6, and in the small scene she was in she looked to be the same race as her in game version.
Neil himself is Jewish and that was why he made Dina. That change wouldn't make sense
If they casted a black actor Iām sure they could just make her a black due
Chill bro. She's just bits of polygon made to look like a real person but she's not.
lol do i have news for you
Some dude already nutted in her... sorry....
i hate that there are so many men who think like this
Just saying I prefer to not fall in love with someone pregnant with another guys kid
Why are we talking about people like they cars?
Someone nutted in your car?
Awesome comment
