crash-infested territories of a new Bethesda release.

For a website that regularly spotlights cosplaying women it seems a little weird to basically demean them as “fluff”. I’m sure the hundreds of hours they spent on their costumes and makeup didn’t seem like “fluff” to them.

Agree re: Pace and Harris. I think there’s nuance in Pace’s depiction of successive clones who are supposed to be the same guy but have small differences. I found myself waiting for Harris to be on the screen not just because the narrative [should] depend on Seldon but also because Harris can chew up the screen…

Twitter as humanity’s collective consciousness. Christ, you pretentious silver-spooned dork will you please shut the fuck up. Yes, the 4% or whatever of people on earth who are on Twitter, or at least whatever percentage of that 4% are blue-checks so their opinions count, should stand for all of humanity as they bitch…

Nah I get what he means. The discourse has been fucking weird for a few years about this project.

I always find this use of the word “predict” to be rather strange. They may have written a story in which something happens at a certain point in the future, but that does mean they’re predicting that it will.

But as some on lyric site Genius and elsewhere have pointed out, Richmond was also the capital and northernmost city in the Confederacy. So, in that case, rich men north of Richmond would be... everyone in the North, which obviously paints a far grimmer picture.

Hayden was definitely young and inexperienced which wasn’t necessarily suitable for a starring role, but I think a lot the credit goes to absolutely dog shit writing and direction. Lucas simultaneously wrote and went “yeah, yeah, that’s perfect Hayden. Put it in the can, boys” after directing the scenes between Anakin…

Because, at it’s core, BG3 is a D&D game.  And in D&D, skill checks are performed with dice rolls.  It’s a fundamental part of the ruleset.

Not the best bait, might farm you a jester or 2 on the Steam discussion board.

This is all stupid, but its also kind of funny/pathetic that this person whose name I did not know until about 2 minutes ago got more people to show up than trump does to any of his shit.

I’m really not a fan of influencer culture.

This one hurts. Big part of my childhood and then some.

The ethos is “Oppenheimer will bring clicks but we’re primarily a gaming culture site. What extremely strained metaphor can we use to farm some search engine optimization, since we probably shouldn't just publish a post that says "Oppenheimer" 500 times in a row?"

Wait, so WHAT exactly makes this film a videogame? Because tickets were scalped, like graphics cards? Because Kojima tweeted about it?

The whole thing is just ... pathetic. 

Yeah, I’m sure that the guy who spent nine years of his life making Batman movies just hates big franchises.

I fully agree. I never was onboard with the hysterical backlash, even if I did think the last act of the game was weak in comparison to the rest. ME3 spends most of its time resolving the major long running plots and, imho, nails almost all of them, so the actual ending almost felt perfunctory. How the Reapers were…

Nolan directed three comic book movies. I’m pretty sure he knows the deal.
