It’s fine for kids but nothing there for adults. My girls loved it but I was bored. I grew up playing these games and hoped for something more interesting. Wreck It Ralph managed to appeal to kids and adults, it’s not impossible. 

That quote is actually true though and I see a lot of it in the more negative reviews. But what they all seem to leave out is despite of it, its still a good, enjoyable movie! I said it over on AV Club that’s a B+ movie. B+ is still pretty good! While the sentiment in the pull quote you highlighted is there, its what…

Looking out for all the references in this movie was a great time and I’m sure there were plenty I’d missed. I haven’t seen anybody mention the shot when Peach is running through the obstacle course and she briefly runs while holding up her dress at the front, which I felt was a throwback to her Super Mario Bros. 2…

It appears that Illumination is setting up for a sequel (we see a Luma creature from Super Mario Galaxy) , but we’ll have to wait on the box office returns to know for sure.

Did you just “me too” your own post?

Yeah it definitely feels like they poured most of their time and energy into creating the castle, Hogsmeade, and the surrounding areas and then were like oh shit we still need an actual game to take place here and then rushed through the rest. The story and gameplay are average to good, but nothing else lives up to…

Just because it hasn’t positively impacted you doesn’t mean that it hasn’t positively impacted other people. I’m not the biggest fan of Harry Potter myself, but there are tons of people worldwide who have been dedicated fans for decades who have gotten a lot of joy from reading the books, watching the movies, playing…

I think the backlash against J.K. Rowling is fully warranted and it’s important for her to receive pushback. She’s practically begged for it through the way she engages with people online, essentially becoming an anti-trans troll. However, I think it’s really, really important for people to stop themselves before they…

It’s a solid open world game. Gets a little repetitive by the end as these type of games often do. The combat is generally enjoyable, but I found the enemies to be overly tanky so larger fights could be tiresome. The art direction is generally great with a lot of detail everywhere.  Hogwarts itself is amazing.…

As I’m not Jewish, I’ve been deferring to Jason Schreier on this topic.

Dude I literally just asked an honest question what the fuck. You know perfectly well I was talking about Notch. The author makes the point that the Harry Potter universe cannot be extracted by the person who created it, regardless of the story. This isn’t something that gets talked about much with other universes…

That was just the normal floor of the Australia House, the Australian Diplomatic Mission in London that they as the set.

This seems to be entirely false. The only instance I can find of a screenshot of the asset files in question shows that they’re all labeled “Townsperson_Sirona”

The six pointed star on the floor of Gringotts originates from the films (which isn’t to say they shouldn’t have changed it in the game).

I’m pretty sure the “MrGirl” thing, as horrible as that would be, is like a 4Chan bait rumor or something. Has something come out that shows it definitively?

When Tolkien was told his descriptions of dwarves were leaning on anti-semetic tropes and stereotypes, he course corrected hard and made it clear in later writings that those were super prejudiced and ignorant descriptions by other races, and then made it a point to show dwarves as just people living their lives like…

“It’s invisible in Tolkien but gapingly obvious in the wizarding world after Rowling tweets transphobic nonsense?”

Why should I have to actually research my opinions before I post them online?  Oh, you say it’s to avoid looking foolish?  Maybe I should then.

Its been a long week, I have covid, my school got shot up this week. But you are correct in saying that my allyship is rooted in convenience. I’ll take that. I’m also the best you’re going to get.
