Books aren't video games, they're books. 

Do you also run around the grocery store, screaming at the clerks that the cereal doesn't look exactly like what it looks like on the box? 

What did you actually think this game was going to be about?

“In one of the early videos, we show this giant kind of sandworm, and it turned out, as we went through development, that wasn’t very fun,”

Sounds like they playtested and found that it wasn’t very fun. That’s literally what Sean Murray said. Next time read the article before commenting.

Good lord, IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS, GUYS! It’s time to stop arguing over this. You’re acting like they swindled you out of the Hope frigging diamond, not a $60 video game. Get a grip. Move on. This horse has been beaten to death, beaten to undeath, then beaten to death again six times over already. LET. IT. GO.

It’s easy to sit back and say “hey, tweak a few variables or something and it’ll work!” - we don’t know how it was coded to begin with, we don’t know even know just how broken the original sandworm system was, so we don’t know the level of effort required to make changes. Don’t presume that these professional

Ah yes, the problem is not the corruption, the problem is the people who exposed the corruption.

He didn’t even hesitate, which was the striking thing - Maria starts to vaporize and he goes right for the beeper, like he expected this somehow. He didn’t use the beeper when the Chitauri invaded, or when Hydra took SHIELD down, or when Dormammu came within seconds of sucking Earth into the Dark Dimension. It wasn’t

Did nobody else recognize that the microverse represented in the second Ant-Man/Wasp trailer (the one they released the Monday AFTER IW released) looks suspiciously like the “Soul World” that Thanos sees young Gamora in after the snap? AM/W may start before IW, but it’s definitely going to tie into IW in a huge way.

Also Gotham has all the major characters in it and lots of the minor characters too, so

Your taste isn’t a virtue, flyboy. Next time you don’t like something, you can just say, “I didn’t like it.”

I feel like you haven’t actually watched the show if this is your judgment of Superstore. It treats all its characters with care and depth, it walks up to the edge of tropes and makes an abrupt and meaningful about-face, and it reserves its actual ridicule and sharpest, most real criticisms for the executives and

Came back here 6 months later to say this, thank you. Space Opera is not sci-fi, it’s fantasy in space. That doesn’t absolve it of the need to have internal consistency... but it does mean that magical stuff happens, and it doesn’t always need a good reason. This is the same as the “why didn’t they just fly the ring

THIS IS WHAT I CAME HERE TO POINT OUT, HOWEVER:

In the 90s, my mom volunteered at a Lakota Sioux reservation for a few summers, and she’d come back telling me these horrific stories about how local white people treated the Lakota there. It was truly horrifying. It was like listening to those stories about how black people were treated in the South during Jim Crow

If this is your definition of fascism then I guess Bari was right, fascism no longer has meaning. Good lord, read a book once in awhile.

Mimi wasn’t talking about Bari Weiss, they were talking about the neo-Nazi puff pieces NYT has done in the news section.

You mean like adding more lead to their supplement drinks?

Nice! Could you share maybe some of the podcasts you listened to?

I guess the market just doesn’t support content designed for men. It’s just supply and demand, guys!
