As a storytelling student, I can tell you exactly why that happens. I boils down to bad storytelling. Most action movies nowadays use action scenes to show you, in great CG $50m-per-scene detail, the consequences of a moment of story happening. Essentially, the story stops for a few minutes to go “look what he did.”

Thank you for reminding me that I do love Ezra as Barry. I just wish I wasn’t concerned for the movie Ezra will have to carry.

The gameplay is one-dimensional even if the game itself is not. But then, you could easily make the game far more one-dimensional just by laying the LED strip straightened out on a flat surface.

This article: godawful. This article: repetitive. This article: unreadable.

You do know that the people studying these texts aren’t doing so out of religious belief, right? They’re studying the past.

Knowing nothing about the actual game, I’m 100% sold on THIS game which seems to be about reality going fucking haywire during a war.

Man, I knew people disliked Dreamcatcher, but looking through the comments you’d think it actually contained vivid depictions of every viewer’s mother having grunting intercourse with King himself.

Or did I miss the part where you proved that payrolls are handed down from the heavens, unchanging and sacred? Did I forget to read the part where you made a…

Whoo boy, I guess I gotta quote you once more:

I’ll quote you again:

But the conversation around income disparity isn’t about wanting to take away rich people’s money. It’s about setting limits (and I would suggest percentage-based limits rather than fixed ones) to how businesses can fuck over their employees.

“To say anything else is liberal jealousy”

Except payrolls don’t emerge from the void fully formed. Income inequality is entirely artificial, the result of admins giving themselves higher wages and wiggling around the law to give entry-level workers lower wages.
