Dave Filoni is a mediocre writer, to be honest. Also, he’s one of the worst live-action directors Star Wars has and every dialogue scene he directs is abyssmally slow and plodding just to stretch out his thinly-written scripts. I was worried he would carry over this lack of skill into Ahsoka and he’s definitely proven…

Sheryl Crow dating him was the red flag.

He probably holds his beliefs because of how hard he considered it to compete against other men. If he can’t maintain the level of competitive fitness in his own field without injecting himself, how can other women compete against women who inject themselves?

Shadowheart does this really weird, endearing thing I started noticing. She sometimes just holds her hand out casually to the side, like she’s feeling a warm fire. Or when relaxing she’ll close her hand and just hold her balled fist up like she’s cradling something in it.

And if you die from falling down that chasm, you can featherfall after the body, revivify your team member, then just teleport back to home base.

As someone who had no idea Astarion would turn against me, love playing games, and also did not trust Astarion not to turn against me, I left his butt behind and enjoyed a really cool backstory and uncovered Astarion’s past getting-tos without him whining about it trying to make excuses. Reading about this now just…

There’s a long tail of gamer who wants to put 2000 hours into a game for years. This gamer might be hoping for a whole individual world they can lose themselves in. Granted, they’re not at all common from gameplay statistics I’ve seen over the years, but they are definitely in the comments section reading this.

“It’s just a game” is already in the comments. And then people get upset when someone says, “Game stories are bad.”

One possibility: the pull an AC3, know their main quest sucks and their side quests are bite-sized and well-written, and force you to progress through it to unlock the side quests.

Everspace 2 surprised me in early access when I put my nose to it non-stop. Then it really paid off in final release. One of the joys of Xbox Gamepass!

Considering the first Call of Duty Modern Warfare reboot took a notorious American warcrime and blamed it on a completely different country that wasn’t even involved, so “real life events” is going to get stretched to snapping with this series either way you look at it.

This just shows how little a middle manager’s job is worth. If you hire an artist to produce art, but you don’t have an eye for simple mistakes that make it into that art when someone cheats by using AI, what exactly is your job again? You might as well have just made the AI yourself and saved the salary and still had…

I bailed early in Season 2 also, but YouTube has some crazy summaries of the show.

Volo doesn’t have any bard abilities, though. He just has low-level wizard abilities.

I went all the way through with it, but then I remembered how attached I was to my original eyes and reloaded.

When Who’s the Boss got 25 million viewers, there were 3 broadcast networks, 1 cable channel, and the highest grossing film made 225 million dollars.

In a post-Tory Lanez world the discourse has definitely moved on.

Sometimes the side to pick when everyone’s lying and abusive is the one pointing out that everyone’s lying and abusive.

Gladiator did it as an homage to samurai movies, where it’s pretty standard. Your character does it automatically in Ghost of Tsushima if you walk through the white flowers or stand up in them for a long enough time, and in the opening sequence he does it on horseback before the theme song plays.

The Martha plot point came from Geoff Johns, not Snyder.
