Except all of the augs in that game had a glitch and randomly started attacking people, they didn’t respond to centuries of endemic institutional violence and brutality with spontaneous uprisings. There were definitely anti-aug terrorists in the first game, but they screwed up the allegory with the typical Zootopia,…

But what if no one else would hire a former puppet? What if being a puppet is the only job you can get after beating your wife and beating someone to death while being a puppet because no one else can trust you?

People who are fine with the American police killing more people on the planet than any other police force but one and walking around carrying guns everywhere would respond with threats of violence to people being concerned about it? Nooooo heaven forfend...

Racism, police corruption, most prisoners per capita on the planet, one of 10 countries with the death penalty, second most people killed by the police yearly on the planet, one of a handful of countries where street-level police are armed, and our police force is technically the third most heavily funded standing…

Is that how your typical police sergeant defends their 40% rate of domestic assault?

I kept seeing these animals getting merked and thought it was because these creatures were aggressive. Scanned them and it just said “defensive.” So the little solo cat creatures kept trying to merk the triceratops and got one-shotted to death leaving random bodies here and there.

I’ve been struggling how to play evil but I end up just playing irritated, myself.

I wonder when we decided on the internet that we can’t critique things that people like? I’ve seen effusive praise for this game for weeks, why can’t people have opinions that aren’t mainstream?

“If we didn’t incentivize work by forcing everyone to starve, none of the work would ever get done. And if we didn’t take 90% of the value of that work for ourselves, then people wouldn’t be starving and none of the work would ever get done. Basic math!”

To be honest, most writers in Hollywood are garbage (just think of all the shit the produce). This is the perfect time for them to revaluate their life and move into another profession.

Started playing this on GamePass in the middle of two simultaneous replays of BG3. Five minutes of walk-and-talk and I immediately realized they were serving up Fallout in space... which is fine... but between this, Sea of Stars, and even more BG3 I’m just struggling to get into the headspace for aimless wandering and…

I’ve stopped at least a half dozen times wishing I could just hack open chests and remembering BG1 and BG2 where the loot would pointedly be destroyed if you didn’t use lockpicks. This information comforts the heck out of me!

Playing as a thief on my first run, I’d say this makes little sense. Playing as any other class on my second run... yeah, those things are hard to find.

And how on earth did a 35 minute episode with a giant space fight at its core manage to be so boring?

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…
