I’ve seen speculation that the reason the KH ports are cloud versions on Switch is because all modern KH ports are ports of the PS3 remasters and that they utilize some limited PS3 emulation for certain parts of the games (not the entire games), and that SE couldn’t get Cell emulation to run with satisfactory…

especially being a Switch exclusive for so long (and having a much smaller total install base than PS4/Xbox)

I think the idea is supposed to be that he kills powerful beings others worship as gods.

You speak as if there’s some kind of linear dollars-to-quality ratio involved here, where if you spend enough you get popular shows out of it. That’s not really how it works. And again: Netflix has a LOT of great original stuff. More than probably anyone other than HBO. So the calls for them to just die are illogical.…

Ok fine, so there’s arguably one service that offers better content than Netflix. That means we should cheer on Netflix’s demise? What about Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, Apple TV+? Is the internet calling for all of those to die too, in the same volume?

They won’t. They will allow themselves to be bulldozed in midterms, because that’s what they do. With a few exceptions who will never win widespread support, they’re a party of meek, center-right milquetoasts. My maybe-not-so-crazy conspiracy theory is that the DNC learned years ago that they raise more money when…

Well I have no idea why you’d avoid all of them, because that’s a pretty broad range of excellent content. A bit fantasy/sci-fi heavy, I suppose, but there’s plenty of other stuff on there that isn’t. I only scratched the surface with my favorites.

I would argue that dollar for dollar they have more good original content than most of their competition (especially if you’re not constantly sucking at the Star Wars-Marvel teat). And as far as I’ve seen they’re not “monetizing further”, they’re just adding a cheaper ad-supported tier like several competitors already…

I’m sure they will include him in some way. But his natural speaking voice (or something in between) doesn’t really scream Mario to me, either.

Oh yeah, and all of this is before you consider that Netflix is also the only major independent streamer. What, we’re more anxious to give money to Amazon, Apple, Disney, and Warner for some reason?

What I wonder about is just how many people out there think giving someone a limp and heavy breathing is an adequate signpost for having had their internal organs melted for a good solid 20 seconds or so.

Vader left his saber in her for a long time, too. Think back to what Qui Gon did to that blast door in The Phantom Menace with the same move. Unmelted internal organs, who needs them?

“You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” Again, if we can’t love our Star Wars stories when they spout such deliciously and unintentionally self-serious campy dialogue like this, then what are we doing? (See also: “Who you become is up to you.”)

It’s pretty hard to judge, because wooden acting seemed to be a directorial mandate in that film. Combine that with the facts that a) the actors had nothing around them to place them in the scene and b) Lucas digitally stitched together frames from different takes so that the actors weren’t always responding to the…

Spoilers are the new G/O “house style” if you haven’t noticed, because of all the cheap hate clicks.

I really don’t get the cheerleading of Netflix’ potential demise that I see all over the internet. Netflix has given me so much great stuff over the years: Stranger Things, the two Haunting series, Castlevania, The Witcher, Black Mirror, Altered Carbon, Umbrella Academy, The Dark Crystal, Midnight Mass, Squid Game,…

No matter exactly how many days it was, “days” period was too short for a Jedi training.

It’s less to do with not being able to parse the passage of time overall, and more to do with the portrayal of that time passage being inconsistent between plot threads. For example: Arya Stark training as a Faceless Man for months and months seemingly, in the same span of time as only a few weeks go by in Westeros.

So am I going to lose all my OW1 skins?

Yes, it’s absolutely revisionist history if you’re attempting to claim that there was less of a public outcry against Ledger than there has been against Pratt. In spite of Brokeback Mountain, Ledger’s casting was widely reviled by people who couldn’t see him in the role, both by comics nerds and by the public at…
