100%. I kinda assume the actor’s a nice guy and they wanted to keep him around, but being expected to care what Joel is up to (or to accept that he’s earned any redemption) has been a painful experience. Midge is an asshole too, but at least she can be a witty and interesting asshole. Joel just sucks the life out of…

only reason it appeared in theatres at all was to appease the people who were mad about it

To clarify, what Lineker said was that the language (i.e. words like “invasion”) being used by the government to refer to immigrants and asylum seekers is the sort of thing that you might have heard in Germany in the 30s.

If they were going to do the redemption arc for him, it would make more sense if it was through him struggling to get his tactics across at West Ham and gradually coming to the realisation that it’s because he lacks Ted’s people skills.

If I understand this right, the Rhinoceros Beetle Charm allows you to resell first aid sprays for double their normal resale value. And their normal resale value is much more than half their purchase cost.

It may be that a PS4 patch is still coming. The PS5 patch is also about prepping the game for the DLC, so it necessarily had a hard deadline and took priority. I won’t guarantee anything will happen, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a PS4 patch containing the accessibility stuff shows up in the coming weeks.

I agree. I like Horizon, but it has a weirdly awful version of this too. What on earth did they think they were achieving with the chests that you have to pry open with your spear by holding R2 (adaptive trigger on too), which turns them into a regular chest that you can now loot by holding triangle? Yeah, there are ch…

It did have quite a different feel though, at least in the beginning. It was going for an specifically spaghetti western thing with its taciturn lead and somewhat more deliberate pacing (as opposed to the melting pot of influences Lucas brought to the franchise).

Someone who writes under what I have to assume is the pen-name Demetrius Polychron published a fantasy novel called, ahem, The Fellowship of the King, which he admits is very Tolkien-inspired.

Warner Bros Discovery, obviously. It’s a licensed game.

Hate to break it to you, but Rocksteady never owned the Arkham world either.

“We thought this would be like those Batman games”

There are at least two rape/attempted rape scenes (Marsellus in Pulp Fiction and the comatose Bride in Kill Bill) though. Not sure how much we want to read into that.

I think what was planned was that after two seasons, Boba Fett would’ve taken over as the titular Mandalorian, and after his story was complete, Bo-Katan would’ve taken that role. But Baby Yoda makes money, so they’ve wound up in this weird mess where Din and Grogu are somehow positioned as the lead characters,…

That there’s no outcry doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t consider whether there’s a better approach anyway.

Oh, for sure. I wasn’t suggesting it would be easy (or even possible), just that it could have applications.

I could see some possibilities. Imagine you’re trying to traverse a burning building and can check closed doors to see if they’re safe to open. Or you’re playing as a vampire and feel a burst of heat if you are caught in sunlight. Or they could turn hidden item location into a literal version of hot and cold, instead…

“Literally one school for all of England” = literally elite
“Muggleborns go there” = they admit a handful of poors
“Their dad literally works a 9-5 office job” = as the head of a government department

Eustace Scrubb reminds me of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie before its panicked redesign. Why would you give human eyes to a creature that shouldn’t have human eyes?
