    I would rather see any given film by Villeneuve, than sit through Tenet again.

    Disco Elysium

    Man, Legion is a work of art. Wandavision came off as a pale imitator, as something that could mimic the styles of old sitcoms, but failed to replicate what really made those styles work — for most of its sitcom bits, it never earns a laugh. Legion understood the styles it homages well, though, and hits so much harder

    RB4 kept the rhythm game era going for much longer than I expected back in 2013, so I can’t complain. Still, it’s sad to see the era end for real now. I doubt there will be a Rock Band 5, now that Harmonix is beholden to Epic’s plan for transforming Fortnite into a metaverse. But It’s not like there was a market still

    So it’s being remote controlled by someone to its left. Good catch.

    I would like to own the movies, which is why I do. Remember the first sentence in my comment:

    He’s asking for charity after sacrificing his own stake in Tesla on his failure at twitter. He’s asking for a bailout -- ha!

    Its almost like we should just pirate everything Ubisoft (and every AAA publisher) ever makes.

    You can still buy music and movies. I know, because I do! But I can look at all my similarly aged friends and family, and find that they’ve all, despite being born in the media-buying generation, now rely exclusively on streaming for both. They transitioned, not from a lack of options, but because of the convenience

    This reeks of desperation

    I’m sick of Steve Blum’s voice because he’s in everything — he has, quite literally, 870 acting credits on IMDb. If he didn’t know about this, then no did.

    Why are you blaming women? They should be allowed to work without fear of harassment.

    You’re right, but what’s new is how the effort can be crowdsourced through social media, and you’re doxed not just to the one stalker, but to hundreds.

    Obviously, the usefulness is letting them know before they agree to do it, so they can choose not to get involved (or to, at least, deactivate all their social media accounts). 

    I wonder if women get briefed by developers/publishers when they’re hired to act or model for a game, if they’re at all made aware of what will happen in social media as a consequence of being hired. I wonder if, whoever will end up being cast as Abby in HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us, she will be made aware that,

    But then there’s the whole Maus aspect

    Who isn’t affording the company the benefit of the doubt?

    I call bullshit on NOBODY at the company knowing. Someone at that turd factory knew *exactly* what they were doing.

    One of the tools the narrative team used to help with that were the post-game Force echoes, where you get to understand Bode’s thought process every step of the way.

    Most of the discussion I’ve seen agree that the story drops the ball in the last third. In part because Ultima makes for a lame villain, but also because all the other thematic treads — e.g. slavery and man’s culpability— get dropped in favor of the JRPG trope of killing a god-like figure to solve everything.
