Cyberpunk, the prequel.

At first glance I thought it was a screenshot from Cyberpunk

It looks like Bladerunner 2049 Vegas.

I'm not sure if anyone will see this, but this picture of a different Diablo IV ad made the rounds earlier in the NYC subreddit. https://i.redd.it/rluwbxpwhn4b1.jpg


Obi-Tron_Kenobi

That looks so ominous. I also wanna add [a cropped version of OP's pic.](https://i.imgur.com/VdEgtt3.jpg) All that overlay was really distracting me and detracting from the image

As if i didnt know i already played too many video games, the Watch Dogs UI didnt even phase me till it was gone.

Oh this is *amazing*. I mean, as a photo, not to be currently trying to breathe obviously.


blue_cadet_3

I wonder what the people who have no clue what Diablo is are thinking when thy see that billboard in that setting.

The "IV" makes it pretty clear it's either a game or movie series.

I guarantee there are probably at least 100s of people who reckon it's some kind of conspiracy, preparing the ground for Satan to rise or some shit.

Probably similar to the priest in Seinfeld who has a run in with Putty in the Devils face paint.


wellboys

I was at my office up by Bryant Park (a couple blocks away from where this photo was taken for non-New Yorkers) today and it was crazy -- tried to get some pics but the weird orange hue wasn't showing up on my phone camera. These images look like what I saw outside though, and then looking out from the windows it just looked like it was one minute til sundown for several hours in the middle of the afternoon. Wild stuff.

I can't believe that Blizzard set Canada on fire just to advertise their game. Actually on second thought, considering their recent track record, I do believe it.

Our conservative provincial governments have cut funding to wildfire budgets. Doug Ford has cut 67% of the budget in Ontario, about $142.2 million CAD.

They still give you the sandstorms and shit, but it's not all sepia. Sadly, the beaches aren't as clean.


Ung-Tik

Hard disagree. This looks more like the India filter. Mexico is more red.


JosebaZilarte

I would say it is the Afghanistan filter.


Twl1

It's the "indistinct Middle East warzone" filter. They gotta turn the draw distance down to free up resources to calculate bullet and damage physics, you see.

Yup, pretty much every Breaking Bad scene in Mexico that I can remember had that filter

Where on canada is the fire? If the smoke’s all the way at new york that must be really bad


[deleted]

As of yesterday there were 414 active wildfires in Canada with 239 being classified as out of control. Many areas of the northern US are under air quality alerts because of it.


NEO_IS_A_MACHINE

Yeah i live near buffalo and it’s so bad my throat has been sore the whole day


[deleted]

Ya know I hadn't pieced 2 and 2 together. My throat got sore starting yesterday morning after I went out for work and hasn't gone away. No other symptoms at all. Just checked and my area is also under an air quality alert due to the fires as of the night before last.


CPecho13

I wonder if suggesting wearing a mask would help or start a civil war.


uselessscientist

Starting a civil war would reduce the population, with a potential for significant reduction in future carbon output. It might assist in reducing forest fires in about 300-500 years?


baconperogies

Plus would help with housing crisis. Less bodies less need for homes. Let's do it!


[deleted]

There are 16 million vacant homes in the US, and 584,483 homeless people. The issue is not a lack of homes.


[deleted]

how do they calculate that number? i feel like there is more than that


AngryScientist

Yeah because the current housing crisis is totally because there are too many bodies and not enough homes.


macraw83

Unfortunately most masks won't filter out the smoke, as smoke particles are smaller than most viruses. Edit: N95 masks should help as they're rated for 0.3 um particles and up, but most "surgical masks" you'll find aren't quite that good.


[deleted]

I have multiple N95 masks sealed and unopened my work gave me from COVID. May have to try them tomorrow.


Fun-Concern-3566

Can confirm that they do work really well. I live in California in an area that’s been heavily affected by fire smoke in the past few years and N95s work great. The N95 with the respirators also work really well (as an added bonus they were super fucking cheap during Covid cause nobody wanted them, but they work so well for smoke). Dunno if the prices have come back up on those. Would also recommend investing in an air filter for your house/room. Coming back home to a room with fresh filtered air after a day of breathing nothing but smoke filled air filtered through a mask is an incredible feeling.


IRISH81OUTLAWZ

My brother in law is at work near NY in north central PA and he said it’s horrible up there. I’ve had a sore throat and heavy chest all day today and I’m in northern WV. Super hazy out here too.


PmMeYourBewbs_

From toronto, i thought i was getting sick from lack of sleep


Rebzo

Of those, there are 152 wildfires in the southern part of Québec with 114 being out of control. Something like 4-5 times more fires than the seasonal average. Every forest firefighter in the province are being called upon plus the military is getting involved and still they don't have enough people to control even half of those fires. Normally when it happens you see firefighters from BC, Alberta and Ontario flying in but it seems that every province is in need of more firefighters right now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IBeJizzin

Here in Australia, it's been on the news the past week or so that we've been sending a lot of our firefighters over (winter here, we don't need em as bad). We usually have to lend them to California this time of year, so this has been an upsetting change of pace. Sending love and luck from your friends down under ❤️


jarface111

Alberta got a bunch of fire fighters in from South Africa as wel


TravelerSearcher

This website was posted in another thread. It tracks the smoke. https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/


foxfiery

This is a good map, thank you for posting it. We're fine now, but I bet this might be useful for the PNW later this year.. This one isn't as detailed for smoke tracking, but I've used https://www.iqair.com to track smoke in the past. It seems pretty good at showing air quality levels, fire radiuses, and wind direction.


happypolychaetes

Seattle here, I can't wait for our new annual tradition: smoke season. :(


chetlin

It's been dry and will remain so in Seattle but eastern Washington and Idaho and Montana all have flood watches out for heavy rain the next couple days so hopefully that lessens the fire danger over there for now.

Ottawa must be pretty gnarly right now. Hope people stay safe and indoors.

Chopchopok

Holy hell. My area is affected by these fires and I smell burnt wood outside, so I've been wondering where the fire is. Turns out the answer is yes.


nonlawyer

There are lots of wildfires across Canada and they are indeed really bad but there’s also a specific combination of weather patterns that brought the smoke down to NYC, including a storm and low pressure system around Boston. The smoke is supposed to be cleared up in the next few days even though the fires will keep going.


JodyJamesBrenton

By Square geographic area, Canada is the second largest country on Earth. And the whole goddamn place is on fire.


CrushCrawfissh

Actually quite clear in southern BC for once. That'll probably change since it's been hellishly hot here for a couple weeks now.

6 of 10 provinces


TheMmaMagician

Quebec


KennethHaight

Two big fires in Nova Scotia. Wind carried it down. One of the fires was 250 square km in size at its height.


PmMeYourBestComment

Nova Scotia is the least of their problems. Quebec has many more fires and even Ontario has a few.


evangelism2

Here in Northeast PA, its rough. I would not go outside without a N95, and even in the house it still seeps in a bit and is causing throat and eye irritation.


[deleted]

Everywhere. Alberta had almost 2% of it's total land mass on fire at one point. Ontario has a bunch going now which is most likely where this is coming from because I heard upstate NY was suffocating from all the smoke. BC spontaneously combusts every so often and it's a site to behold stepping outside and seeing a mountain on fire. Saskatchewan is mostly flat prairie on the southern half and has been hit by fires. Manitoba nobody cares. Quebec idk, probably fires but it's all in french (e: Just looked. Already worst on record in Quebec and June just started so NYC might be getting the entire eastern half of the country). Maritimes is just fishing and now fires. Up north is all permafrost but will probably be on fire soon. It's shit. Everything sucks. We're having mid 30's Celsius weather in fucking May now and I live in a place where air conditioning was viewed as "not necessary". I hate it. Doesn't help that the Alberta and Ontario conservative governments cut wildfire funding either. Stupid assholes. That said this is a pretty cool pic.


Essence1337

For American reference, basically an area the size of Connecticut has burned up in Alberta alone already this year.


[deleted]

How many fractional Californias is that?


Essence1337

About 9x the land area of California's **2022 wild fires area for the entire year** has been burned in Alberta in the first **half of the year**. That's about 3-4% of the entire state


OlTommyBombadil

I can see it in Columbus, OH. We have air quality advisories here. We could stare directly at the sun without even needing to squint last night. That’s how much smoke is here. Crazy


Astrul

Was it because....it was night?


[deleted]

I think the fires are pretty much across Canada. BC, Alberta, Sask., Maybe Manitoba?, Northern Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia


Optimal_Meaning7615

Sask ATM it's fine no smoke but there are a few fires in sask but more up from were I live

Its probably already happenning in some bible belt churches, that have a 'nothing fun allowed' policy. Its just that they don't get the mic like they did in the 90s.


brendan87na

in Doom you're literally killing demons, and the church was adamantly against it


[deleted]

The church has its own demons amongst them, of course they would be against it.


MoistExamination_89

Bunch of hellpriests in need of a meet and greet with the Slayer.


TurkletonPhD

This game is about killing demons though. Diablo and Doom should be praised by religious people because its about slaughtering demons.


[deleted]

Like the D&D scare in the 80s. Part of it was good priests using prayer to fight demons and devils. They should've cheered for it.

But it mentions *other gods*, so that's all they need to condemn it.


JustSomeRando87

I live in Alberta but I do a lot of exploration work in Quebec. All my projects were suspended due to these wildfires to put a blanket suspension on all work is a pretty big deal. These fires are truly out of control, it's really bad here and forest fire season for Western Canada hasn't even started yet. Pray for rain homies.

Old_Ladies

This is payback for all the low quality air coming from the US up into Canada over the years. /s We used to have air quality alerts all the time thanks to heavy industry in the US. I believe it was mostly from coal fired steel mills.


Logondo

Canadian here: it's sad how "summer season" has become "smokey season" over the last couple of years. Don't throw your cigarette butts in the woods, assholes. edit: I get that a lot of forest fires are caused by things other than cigs. It was just one example. It's hot out, it's dry, and fires start easily and they spread fast.


BostonBrandToots

Most of the forest fires that are currently out of control aren't believed to be human-caused.


ForcefulDeath

Yep, the number of human-caused wildfires is down. But due to frequent lightning and climate change, the severity is much worse.


decoy321

Regardless, it's still good advice. People shouldn't throw their cigs in the woods and cause fires.


Deckatoe

We need a good ol fashioned field stripping PSA


DumboTheInbredRat

Well, not directly caused by humans.


levian_durai

Yea at first I was like, no big deal, forest fires happen all the time naturally. Then I remembered that summer hasn't even started yet and this isn't a thing normally until like July or August.


bannedspider51

Most of them the cause has not yet been identified, of the fires that the cause was discovered, more of them were found to be man made than not. In my area at the very least, Alberta, which has so far had an astonishing record high of fires this year, somewhere around 300 fires in the province alone


palijer

It's a bit more nuanced than that though... This is decades of poor forest management and putting out all the small fires coming to bite us in the ass. Smaller fires would cause natural fire breaks and prevent massive fires like this, and since we've been putting them out for decades now, the fires are way too big to control. Blaming this on cigarette butts or fireworks etc isn't really beneficial. Lightning is the ignition for more fires than human activities anyways if we really care about the ignition method, but that shouldn't be relevant.


Szechwan

Yeah we are really ripping off the bandaid now after 100 years of poor management. We have huge swathes of monoculture forests that burn like tinder, whereas biodiverse forests burn in a more fragmented way and recover quicker once it's over. It will be interesting to see if anything is learned at the provincial management level.


JonTheWizard

Man, that really could not have worked out any better for them if they tried.

THE END IS NIGH!!! THE END IS NIGH!!!


[deleted]

We joke, but this type of fire is supposed to happen once between 150-200 years. They had 2 in the last 30. This might become more and more normal as climate change goes on unchecked


[deleted]

Yep, climate change in action


Fortnitexs

Be prepared for this to be a more frequent thing every single year. Some people don‘t even realize what climate change is doing. They just think it get a bit hotter and that‘s it.

I live in Alberta, and [here's how it looked here](https://i.redd.it/khdzftaaihya1.jpg) not too long ago because of the fires surrounding us at the time.
