Ah yes, “copyright theft.”

It’s odd to read somebody claim they like Starfield’s aesthetic. I’m a member of the seemingly much larger group who finds it bland and boring. Maybe if the game were more engaging, the aesthetic’s nods to “real life,” such as it is, would feel more charming.

Talkin’ bout old tired brokeass comedy t’aint funny cuz it old and brokeass yo.

And once again, Patrice O’Neal wins over Mitch Hedberg.

It’s so nice that, despite suicides being consistently pointed to as a major aspect of gun violence in America that could be reduced through more aggressive laws, Japan manages to make the extra effort to keep their suicide numbers way up.

After the first season —which, eh, a mix of good ideas and flat ones — I honestly couldn’t understand the appeal. I found the next three seasons’ setups and punchlines to be about thirty years behind the comedic times, at least. It presented as juvenile; the script often read like a writer super-duper excited that…

She looks like she just decided that her own farts smell... okay.

Family Guy can never break my heart, because it never made it soar in the first place.

People who actually care about progression systems, UI, viable builds, game balance, etc. etc. were really impressed by Patch 2.0. I was one of those people. Pretty much every progression system in the game was shit-ass-terrible on release, and 2.0 improved them to the point where playing the game, putting together a…

Your comment isn’t completely wrongheaded, but you’re still talking about “most actors” when Vellani is already not “most actors” anymore. Personally, I think she’s got real charisma, too.

Back when the Nemesis system was first all the rage, I immediately thought of a Batman game where both success and failure could loop around in a similar manner. The game would start off as a much more basic Batman going up against gangsters and regular criminals, and the big twist would be that Joker/Catwoman/Riddler…

Her? Yeah, no. Disney’s trying to eliminate that kind of stuff for even the biggest names. How successful they’ll be, I can’t say, but they do not want another Johansson kerfuffle. They want absolute freedom to call audibles on theater windows, streaming windows, and all the rest, and if you’ve got points spread out…

Who’s still talking about Hogwarts, though? Who’s complimenting anything about its gameplay? You’re talking about it, sure, but you’re immediately going meta: big numbers!

Frankly, I think Zelda’s music is so good that it can only really compete with itself. Unfortunately for the people writing more music for it in this day and age... Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask exist, so, fuck them, right?

Not for nothing, but it is a pretty big writing no-no to demand a sacrifice for power and then have that power be able to undo the sacrifice. Usually I roll my eyes at writers who rely too much on those meta rules, but Infinity War/Endgame basically declared that to be the case. Walking it back is a much worse sin…

But for the fact that any investigation into a highly profitable industry will reveal all manner of shockingly immoral, unethical, and maybe-even-still-illegal behavior, this is idiotic.

In a roundabout defense of MCU, I honestly cannot see anybody getting sick of The Boys because they got sick of the MCU, or vice-versa. The Boys is a giant helping of gross-out scenes, excessive violence, cussing, nudity, fucking, and straight-up gross weirdness. It’s unapologetically dystopian, and just flat-out fucke…

I’d love for Scorsese to take the piss on both MCU and himself simultaneously by casting Robert De Niro as OLD MAN, the superhero whose superpower is that he’s fucking old, and so completely done with this shit. But then also sometimes he gets digitally de-aged... but still acts and moves like he’s eighty-five.

Having characters like Liara (and maybe Wrex and Grunt?) in the mix allows Shepard to cast an appropriately long shadow without actually being there. “What do the living owe dead heroes?” is a cool question to ask — maybe not something you want as the centerpiece of your game, but a neat thread to weave in there while…

>That’s not the game’s fault, it’s how D&D in general feels these days.
