I do remember finishing it, but honestly there isn’t a lot I remember about the game, except it generally making me sad and depressed.  It wasn’t a bad game by any stretch. It just made me realize that hopelessness and nihilism were not something I wanted to surround myself with in my spare time.

Amen. I will go to the mat for this movie as a piece of film, and on an issue level: if more cops were like Brody (i.e. NOT deeply enchanted with themselves as heroic he-men), the world would be a better place.

I happened to catch Jaws about 2-3 weeks into the pandemic and the similarity of that situation to watching the Lt Gov of Texas basically telling the senior citizens of Texas to “take one for the team” and launch themselves headfirst into the shark’s mouth...well that was one big guffaw I let out when that epiphany…

Wanted to reply to your point about the mayor separate from my other post. You can really see what motivates Larry and why he’s doing what he’s doing at the scene at the hospital when Michael feel out of the sailboat. Larry starts rehearsing his presser right there in the halls absolving himself of culpability and…

A f’en men (plus this is one of my all time favorite movies so I’ll fight for it). Here is a meme my cousing shared with me back in April that I think fits in here nicely:

You misunderstand the movie. Brody is not a cop, he’s a sheriff - an elected official. And more, he’s a real leader, concerned about the welfare of his people.

Against this social backdrop, the absurdity of the 45-year-old mother of all summer blockbusters, Jaws, has never been clearer. It is the story of a cop, with no background in marine biology and, in fact, hatred of water, taking it upon himself to hunt a great white shark, a vulnerable apex predator whose survival is…

The cop vs. shark angle seems like a poor fit with the BLM movement. If I were to analogize current events to Jaws, it’d to compare COVID-19 opening issues with the mayor’s decision to keep the beaches open for the sake of the economy despite the obvious evidence of danger.

Take it back:

Bullshit. Cash is becoming more and more obsolete. Who knows what things will look like in 10 years.

I’d like to become an “avid creators of [my] own history”.

There is a cottage industry that seeks to portray Melania as some sort of abused, kept woman, that has always baffled me. The type of person Donald Trump was was apparent when she met him, and apparent when she agreed to marry him. She not only stood along as he built his political career on a racist lie, but actively…

Thanks for the review, some food for thought though, i don’t actually read Kotaku reviews to help me decide whether or not I will play a game, I actually tend to read them to see a critical and in-depth analysis of themes raised in the games, and to see whether or not i agree with them. To that extent, I’m not quite…

I just not feeling it at all. While I would normally not ask the question “is this really the right time for this game?” just by saying that thought outloud, I guess I am. I wonder how many other people are feeling like this, and if it’s going to affect the game’s sales. Probably not, at least not from what I’ve…

ACAB. That is all.

It’s really not, or at least it was the longest long con ever. Gatherer was created in 2004 IIRC, in any event way after the card was printed. ID’s were just assigned by set in date of release, then by set number within that set. It just worked out (incredibly badly) that there were ~1400 cards in the sets before…

Just a reminder, Harold McNeill? Nazi.

Very unlikely the numbering was deliberate, Gatherer wasn’t created until 2004, literally ten years after the card was printed, and I believe the IDs are just sequential. The sets Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, Arabian Nights, Antiquities, and Revised would add up to 1398 cards, then Invoke Prejudice would have to be the…

I think its worth pointing out that they didn’t decide to do this out of the blue or out of the goodness of their hearts.
