Well, frankly I don’t play with MechJeb since I like to do most things myself, but I do like that I have KAS and can put things together in orbit. :-)

Disagree. All the games I have “boot up” and run perfectly fine. As long as you are not running a pre-release beta game, or a game from a dodgy developer on crappy hardware with bad drivers, it will be at least as good as on the console - usually much better.

Nope. As long as I can play the latest games at > 1080p, on high or ultra settings, it’s not out of date.

You have a strange definition of the word obsolete.

No, it is not about hard time, it is about levels of immersion. You can watch a zoetrope movie and it could be great. But an IMAX movie is likely to be many times better by all parameters.

But it isn’t obsolete. The games I want to play are still not even out yet.

You can get much better immersion and enjoyment from the game through better graphics. For example, check out the scene in the YouTube clip starting at 4:30. Your brain will very quickly notice that something is wrong, even if you are not consciously aware of the lack of shadows, making it look like people are…

Really? What’s the mechanism they are using?

In this specific game there are very few differences - at ship time. There is far less grass & debris on the ground, some smoke/flame effects are missing, and shadows are less distinct - that’s about it. But this is rare - many other games have huge visual quality differences between PC vs. console.

Instead you spent 400-500 for a game console that was already obsolete on the day it shipped (check the hardware specs). And you can’t upgrade it. And you can’t play a lot of games on it. E.g. look up KSP, and the mods available for it. KSP is coming to PS4, I think, but there won’t be mods which add a whole lot of…

Sounds like you haven’t gamed on a PC in a long time. Or you have crap hardware & software. Most PC games and systems are pretty damn solid these days - or at least as solid as console games. Plus if there is an issue with the game, you can actually fix it on the PC - you can’t if it is on a console. E.g. if it…

Depends on the types of games that you like. PCs have more diverse games that are often much more in-depth and complex. If you are more into casual gaming, go for it. But if you are into MMOs, simulations, all sorts of games with mods, classic/older games, games that require a mouse & keyboard, etc., then you should…

More in-depth games, different types of games, mods, graphics quality, mods, a larger variety of games, ability to upgrade individual components, keeping the system up to date.

My problem with that sub-plot is not that it based on Christian ideas, it is that it’s nonsensical in most respects. It’s like giving Hitler or Goering a happy ending at the end of a movie about WWII. That kind of thing rubs me the wrong way, especially in what is supposed to be an escapist fantasy movie for kids. It…

It seems to me like your problem is more with the idea that there might not be such a thing as divine karmic retribution than anything involving the plot or writing behind Star Wars.

So, are they using a new graphics engine, or is it the same one? Did they fix the perf and pop-in issues of Unity? And the weird hit-box issues?

That’s not “Jedi Heaven.” There is no heaven.

That’s why I said “kind-of”. They kept the old Spock around and some generic themes and characters but that’s about it. Plus much of Star Trek is episodic and not based on large plot arcs.

I am arguing that this specific plotline is flawed. Whether the rest of the movie is flawed depends on your opinion of how important this plotline is to the rest of the movie. Personally I am not that enamored with the movie anyway, because I prefer sci-fi to space wizards, but that’s a whole other topic.

And I think you are confusing the decision to not murder his son with wanting redemption for his acts. The two are vastly different. Also, the ghost scene at the end makes it pretty clear what the movie implies - that he earned absolution from his ghost buddies in the afterlife.
