You want the perfect marshmallow for s’mores? Microwave it.

I don’t know if I’d go as far to say it was a rip off, (except for the dog through the window, that was very clearly an “Homage”), but I do wish that more people recognized that as the grandfather of the modern survival horror and not RE.

Dude I am with you ONE THOUSAND PERCENT

Sure yeah that’s the same thing.

But should stories like these dilute the message (i.e. a lot of women just seek attention with it)

Your commitment to character is wonderful.

So is what you’re doing right now “Asshole signaling”?

I think that since ST:V the “audience” for Star Trek shows has been “People who already watch Star Trek”. You can argue that’s why those later series struggled. You can say what you want about Discovery, but they are trying new things with the background, and if they want to aim that story at a more mature audience,…

I’d be more inclined to agree if the line was uttered in combat (Lorca saying “Take that, motherfucker!”, etc.) but this was said by a character who very clearly has little understanding of social mores who was excited about a scientific breakthrough and it was said in an excited and hopeful manner. This is a show…

The target audience of a universe that’s over 50 years old should be able to handle a singular f-bomb uttered in excitement about a scientific discovery.

I just don’t know if “Do people want us to swear?” Is something that writers should consider when writing a story. For or against. If “We should swear because people think it will be edgy!” is a bad way of writing (which it is) so is “We shouldn’t swear because what will people think!?”

Fuck the haters. I love this show. It presents the world of Star Trek in a very different package, but that’s much more refreshing than them doing a TNG rehash. It moves at a very fast pace, which I’m fine with. The characters are all interesting and consistent (Except for some small gripes I had with Saru in this…

More or less my exact same reaction.

My mom died back in June. Cancer. She fought it over the course of two years. Had surgery. We thought it was gone. It came back. From there she had chemo and radiation, almost died from the treatments but made it through. Thought it was gone. Came back. When it came back the second time it advanced hard and fast, and…

I’m on your side here, but you using the Souls games is a bad example. Those games had expansions that added on to what the total story had been. The DLC wasn’t out for them on release. The issue, and where the “Real price” of the game is extended is with day one-DLC, microtransactions, and lootboxes.

I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $30 for the complete editions of any Souls game.

If they didn’t think they were going to be effective I doubt they would have put them in the game...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you don’t seem like the type of person who would buy loot boxes under normal circumstances, were it not for their job. These sorts of schemes are not meant to sway those who can resist this…

Oh. Okay.
