In the same way the Hobbit is technically also a heist film.

I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘the masses’ ignore this movie for the most part. Like they did with all the other DnD movies that came out over the years. Because they are nothing but the most generic fantasy movies you can think off. Mostly because DnD if you just follow the books is generic as fuck.

Well meaning people who have no problem sticking a gun in your face and pulling the trigger as a means of conflict resolution are not really well meaning people.

Thats a pretty unhealthy attitude towards the choices you made. And as an unhealthy attitude it shouldn’t be reinforced by games ‘media’. Its kinda shitty if a blog like say Kotaku deepens this need for validation by pitting Xbox against other consoles or by implying that I’m not getting enough and therefor ‘choose…

Who knows, perhaps when Microsoft owns Activision they will let them revive some of the other Activision IP instead of solely chasing after the ever diminishing returns of yearly CoD.

They paid 1 billion for that? 

And this is why the game can’t be played in the Netherlands? Can’t say I think I’m missing out on something. 

Well why not? You go where there is talent right? Plenty of talented developers in India. 

This has some pretty awful pop in.

Its not a dead genre and its not all just style over substance. On top of that, especially with a genre like Cyberpunk, the aesthetics and message are deeply interwoven. You can’t create a cyberpunk aesthetic without creating a message in the process, even if thats not your intention.

I was more surprised by the appearance of a few DC characters. That must have cost them a small fortune. 

Yep, RotS was the terrible one. The thing is, that one is so terrible it drags down the previous movies. But that doesn’t make those movies and the choices they made for them bad. Just the choices they made for RotS. And granted, nearly every creative choice there was the worst choice they could have made.

Do they though? They made one terrible movie, 4 okay to pretty good movies and a bunch of series that are legitimately good. Sure, with the movies its no MCU in terms of success. But I don’t think you can blame the executives of making bad creative choices if 80% of their movies are still pretty good.  

The only reason the metro in Amsterdam works is because its embedded in a much larger transit network that gives people options other than cars to get around. And this is true for every good public transit system. Just plopping down a few bus lines and a light rail and a metro is not going to work if the rest of the…

Its the Supreme Court, its literally the highest court in the land. There is no standard of any kind they need to abide by as there is nothing above them. 

It doesn’t ignore precedent, the supreme court has the ability to overturn its own previous decisions. They already did that before on Roe vs Wade with Casey and they have done so in a lot of other cases as well. That is how case law works and why its not as reliable as codifying it into actual law.

They are still judges and the rule of law is pretty secure in the US. I think its unlikely that they are gonna reinterpret constitutional amendments in a way that says the opposite of what the law actually says. You don’t become a Supreme Court judge if you just interpret the law in any way you like. Even for their…

Yeah but case law is still essentially law. A lower court cannot differ from the interpretation of the constitution as the Supreme Court. They have to interpret the constitution in a way that says that states cannot outright ban it. It has less ‘protection’ compared to a real law in the sense that as soon as the…

It actually appears that it could do the opposite. Creating characters purely to make the lines balance out nice and pretty, rather than putting in the effort to make genuinely representative characters that engage with the backgrounds they are meant to come from.

I don’t think writing an angry tweet about something counts as getting worked up over something. It takes zero effort to write a tweet about it.
