Yes and no.

Unlike The Witcher 3’s fleshed out, compelling sidequests, many of the minor activities that pop up on my map or into my journal are basic and forgettable, fights against human enemies that lack the visual interest or behavioral quirks of monsters in The Witcher 3.

Isn’t it easier to believe that it’s only small subset of fans that actually want to spend 30 minutes in a character creator generating a character rather than play the main game group?

I’ve known plenty of gamers that geek out using one of these things but I’ve never been one of them. The longer I’m not playing the…

For me its just that the setup for this story for better or worse doesn’t work in a comic film. Remove the genders and what you have a is a severe power imbalance movie. There are genres for this but they are generally horror and thriller.

It’s not that online leftists are irrelevant. It’s that online leftists are inconsistent in effort put forth and thus become a bizarre mix of inconsequential and critical to the party. They are inconsequential in that they never, EVER turn up in sufficient numbers to push an election for more than 4 years leaving the…

Bingo - Governing (or at least doing so without causing massive riots and or possible danger to the populace) is a game of concession, consensus and and continual selling.

Collins made her bed and she knows it. A meaningless no vote where it doesn’t matter doesn’t hold the same weight as it did when the President was on the line.

Moderates have seen her allegiance and whether or not they agree with it is the only question.  She’ll vote across party lines when it does not substantially…

The warped humor was often a big draw to these games. It’s not like games like Space Quest or Beneath a Steel Sky or even The Longest Journey didn’t realize their puzzles were absurd - they were a big part of the hilarity.

Props to the screenwriter on that one.  First time I saw it, did not expect it.  Should have.  Didn’t.

Yea - I love Nolan.  But I did get mad when suddenly it switched from Chi to NY.  Fake one or fake the other.  Don’t fake both.

The problem is the style is so exaggerated, I’m not even sure you could make it realistic since you wouldn’t even see a reasonable facsimile in real life.

Thing is you can view this as a continuation of what is now a fairly ingrained woman-power=queer trope though. We’ve got this, Steven Universe, Xena, Batwoman, Wonder Woman DCEU eludes to it, Valkerie, CWVerse, etc.

Eh, I’m skeptical. The problem with Kylo Ren and Catra comparisons is we’re shown much more of Catra being something other than a raging man-child. A lot of care was put into that character, where as Kylo (as many noted at the time) came off as a fairly one-note strawman of toxic masculinity.

If the Democrats can actually barnstorm an election I think “what he’ll veto” is a far smaller list than people think.

The purpose most moderates have, ISN’T to remove progressive policy items. It’s to field candidates in purple areas that have a chance of winning. You simply accept that you stand a better chance of…

That is certainly one way to look at the Republican party waiting for Bernie to lose steam before having their political apparatus take over. Last Sunday was pretty much a bot extraveganza and the Reade allegations were everywhere.

Can’t the comics industry move towards a more Manga-ish/bookish model? People keep asking why but the fundamental problem is the same for a lot of industries.

It’s not over.  But people who are going to call themselves Progressives are directly at a decision point.  I’m growing tired  (although I won’t stop) of supporting those causes while they insist on shooting themselves in their own feet and parrot RNC strategies out loud and without irony.  You either care about these…

In this day and age I tend to always go with a little of column A and a little of column B. Yes, there are authentic Kamala voters like authentic Sanders voters who have a seething hatred for Biden. However, whatever number actually exists of them, they are greatly amplified by external actors that see liberal…

Get ready for the think pieces if Trump gets reelected at how this is actually the fault of Biden, moderates, and white women.

Maybe for Democrats. The Republicans elected 2 Bush’s and neither of them are particularly interesting. Maybe I should amend Democrats to liberal/progressives right now since there seems to be some sort of existential crisis going on right now with the former moniker.
