It’s the hokey dialogue style. She talks like she’s in a Joss Whedon show from 2004. It also makes it seem like she actually isn’t all that impressed by being sucked into an alternate magical world.

I just want modern soup-to-nuts remakes of ogre battle and ogre battle 64.

Yes, this is 100% the case.

“Is it at all possible there’s an entire generation of folks who have never heard of DnD?”

“despite the innovation of D&D as a roleplaying game, it largely existed as a way to inhabit the fantasy world established by The Lord Of The Rings”

Katie Porter knows her shit and communicates it clearly without dumbing down either the facts or her policy message. She’s consistent, honest, and forthright to boot, unlike the vast majority of politicians in the House and Senate.

That’s the only use I’ve had for Gamestop in 15 years; trading in old systems for a eager discount on new ones (or new games, as the case may be).

I can understand why that’s management’s plan, but it won’t work.

The south sea bubble happened in a very differently-paced trading environment!

Love this reply! It actually ahs the details needed to answer my somewhat sarcastic question and is realistic about how gamestop is a zombie company. 

I’ve been amazed at its survival since the early 10's.

I wonder how long a meme stock company with dogshit fundamentals can be propped up by its stock price. Or, rather, will GME keep its meme stock price as its dogshit fundamentals crash the actual business?

Where did I ever mention the company? Are you attempting to be obtuse and distinguish the corporate entity as the employer and management as coequal employees with regards to setting company policy and hiring and firing authority?

Really, it’s just a wash of fascist apologetics.

Imagine thinking employees aren’t allowed to negotiate with their employers!

Are you from NYC? I live there and it seems only slightly less car-centric as the rural area where I grew up. People here love there cars and the powers that be love encouraging people to use them.

Haiti and French Guiana are both in America. Heck, French Guiana is an actual part of the French state! That also makes it part of the EU even though it’s in the Americas.

I just want a meaty Elden Ring expansion sometime in 2023 and a full sequel in 2024 or 2025 or whenever they can get it done reasonably.

Blue is the Warmest Color is barely not porn.

No, it is intentionally vague in ANH. The only line that is really odd is Vader’s comment that when he left Obi Wan, Vader was but a learner but now he is the master. But it was weird after the prequels, too, because Anakin was a full Jedi Knight when he became Darth Vader.
