On what contemporary Christianity in the US seems to sell people: It’s a tribe they belong to and other people don’t. I work with someone that is in that camp. Many times during Trump’s presidency he would say “We won right?” after Trump did something stupid that was against policy, or would say a lie, or whatever…

I assume based on a quick <crtl><f> search for “Al” that it was a google translate thing? Maybe?

I’d love to see that - the trick is that they farmed it out to Silicon Knights (if I remember right) and while it’s Konami’s IP and stuff, I doubt they’d have access to remaster things on the asset level, or access to code.

I lol’d. I’m sure somewhere Harlan is also. While poking a producer in the ass with a pitchfork.

You’re conflating not enjoying Star Trek Discovery with hating gays and women. You can be both gay and a woman and hate Star Trek Discovery because the writing is atrocious and ignores decades of established canon. Kurtzman Trek is about hope, inspiration and interpersonal drama. Good Trek has that but in a way that…

I’ll just leave this here. (hopefully the image isn’t Kinja’d.)

The microtransactions appear to ruin the game once you’re about a third of the way through the story (6 hours.) Once you get there, in order to progress you need to purchase things from “Unkie” that cost so much the only way to realistically get them without logging way more hours to earn credits in-game (many more…

He is cousins with Ant-Man and Uncle-Woman.

Came to post the same thing. A lot of Hot Toys products look like the actor playing the role - this looks like Keaton’s brother or something. I’m not an artist, and am terrible if I try to do portraits, so I don’t know what detail is off but something tells my brain when I look at that face it’s Keaton’s stunt double…

I’m great with Regal Cinemas’ movie pass thing. It’s worked well since I switched to it, and after the bad experience from MoviePass last go-round, I am gonna stick with what I have now.

Excited to see how Konami manages to screw this up. Perhaps an additional final boss that is a Walking Nuclear Pachinko machine.

I got a big “meh” from this event. Iterative things that are boring, IP I don’t care for, and a handheld whose main selling point is “ours is the only one with the controller built-in that works with our app that everyone else can already use.” I’m good playing my backlog.

I’ll be canceling my max subscription in the very near future. I have no confidence in the direction they are going and am going to switch to just subscribing when there’s something I want to see on the service.

Thank goodness it was a secondary job, mostly to keep me around gamers and also for the employee discount, which used to be as high as 20% on some things.

I waited to get the Jedi Survivor game until I could get a discount on it via Epic Games. I see now some games have a $70 release price for standard and $100+ for collector’s editions which may have physical items but more likely just have DLC attached to them. No thanks. I’ve got a backlog that is physically taking…

Have they been bought by a private equity firm yet? That’s going to signal their change from a physical store to a mall kiosk or even worse, a mall vending machine that prints on-demand paper vouchers for online things.

Wow. I hadn’t thought of it in those terms before. Very well thought counter-point!

Based on what I know about Ridley Scott, he probably included the Xenomorph’s development in Prometheus to do a giant middle finger to the people that enjoy the AvP franchise.

If only they could steal our gun violence.

Several of the Ms. Marvel Disney/Marvel media things (The Marvels, the Disney+ show) got pushed back seemingly due to production. I wonder if this has something to do with that, as in this was supposed to coincide with the movie or something? Then again comics can be adjusted month-to-month and all you need is to have…
