It’s what people call their religions when they want to seem “more legitimate” than other religions.

So? He still protects pedophiles and thinks trans rights are comparable to nuclear proliferation.

There’s no more magic plot armor.

See, I’m not even so sure of that. There have been a few lines that raised doubt as to whether not this is actually “their” future, in which case once they go back there’s nothing left to be done.

I’m probably alone here but I’m much less interested in this season than I was expecting to be. Maybe it’s dystopia fatigue from last season, but man, something about this story arc just feels so... Bland.

That’s an interesting take. I thought it felt pretty obvious that they wanted to kill off Leia - to up the stakes, like you said - but then Carrie died and they felt the whole “dying in an explosion” thing would’ve been too distasteful.

Exactly this.

It was absolutely terrible. I heard people in my theater audibly laughing, which I’m sure wasn’t the intent.

I’ve gotta agree, and I say this as someone living with depression. It’s kind of ludicrous to expect a videogame streaming service to provide any sort of actual mental help. Link people to the suicide hotline, maybe even their local crisis services if you want to go a little further, but in no way should companies be…

Yup. It’s from FakeFactory’s Cinematic Mod, I believe.

Reminds me of that one HL2 mod where they gave Alyx a fully-modeled cervix for... Some ungodly reason.

I mean you’re not wrong, but at least ELO and similar systems actually have some merit as an objective measure of your personal skill.

... If your takeaway from that was “lootboxes are bad,” as in the literal Loot Boxes in the game you get from leveling up, you need to work on your reading comprehension.

I mean, technically nothing matters in Ranked anyway because Blizzard manipulates SR and uses the system as another form of lootbox instead of an actual measure of skill, but sure.

Ah, didn’t know that. I haven’t been paying the closest attention to the news and just assumed it was a natural one.

That’s kind of been the MO for Civ games though. The base game is quite literally that, a base, and most of the content and mechanics people remember so fondly came in expansions.

Hotter summers as a result of global warming combined with natural patterns of drought and humans expanding further into previously uninhabited, fire-prone areas.

No. Consent given under duress or intimidation is not consent. Nonconsensual sex is rape, full stop.

SUPER

Agreed, the current crop of Exotics feel like extremely minor sidegrades at best. That’s my problem with D2 as a whole, everything is so homogenized that your class and build really don’t matter. Everyone has the exact same movement and escape options, the same choice in grenade type, weapon variety is extremely…
