My gripes (on exploration and the combat system): The open world is repetitive: Get to a new area, be presented with a list of things to do with specific pinpointed spots on a map rather than discovering them organically—activate towers, kill specific enemies, find Materia deposits, painstakingly hunt for things…

I see your point, particularly with an aged aircraft, but having the pilots be completely in the dark as parts of the plane (whether they’re lightweight and mostly cosmetic or not) fall off is a manufacturing issue. If panels are falling off, who knows what else is going wrong with more essential parts of the plane or…

Now that the initial novelty has worn off, I think people are starting to realize that this whole game sucks in very clear structural ways that can’t be patched with updates. The convoluted nature of the combat system, the lack of actual exploration in the open world sections because they’re either super confusing (as…

Awful lot of Boeing bootlickers here in the comments eager to dismiss a huge piece of metal falling off an aircraft mid-flight endangering both the passengers and people on the ground. What do you all think is to be gained from this? I wonder if you all would change your tunes if you were on a flight that turned out…

There are so many materia listed here that this is completely unhelpful and lends zero insight since it simply describes what they do, which the game tells you as well.

Considering that most “sovereign citizens” are likely to be white, the cops will probably tend to be more cautious before deciding to shoot the person.

They just don’t like anyone questioning their authority, but a lot of them (sheriffs particularly) happily sign on for “sovereign citizens” rejecting state or federal authority because that suits their ideology.

Don Lemon is not Walter Cronkite or even a particularly good person, but it sure sounds like he committed the cardinal sin of actually doing the job of a journalist and that kind of thing would NEVER be welcome in Elon’s world.

I’m not an engineer, but if we can have warnings on our cars when the trunk gets left open, I’m pretty sure someone can design something that would alert a pilot when part of the plane literally falls off mid-flight.

Are you serious with this? Do you honestly not see a difference between a regular car and a jet flying 700 miles an hour 30,000 feet in the air with 200+ people on board? Do you not think there should be a higher standard for aircraft than for a car? Clearly you must work for Boeing with those low standards.

I went to the theater this weekend to catch Kung Fu Panda 4 and they had a BUNCH of promotional Madame Web posters sitting out for the taking. Naturally I had to grab one as a memento/collector’s item that I’m sure will get shredded on the floor of the backseat of my car and found in seven months and I’ll wonder what…

I’m no health nut, I started my day with a handful of Sour Patch Kids because they were left around in the office, but it’s galling how bad most seed oils are for you and no wonder that countries with higher standards ban them.

Considering that the initial rush toward EVs has slowed dramatically and people are still mostly defaulting to ICE cars or plug-in hybrids, we’re not going to get remotely close. Other countries are able to do better because they actually have governments capable of encouraging or compelling the use of EVs far more…

Automated driving should be illegal. Full stop. No car should feature it, period.

How does a huge panel fall off a plane mid-flight and there is no alarm or warning to the pilots that anything has happened? It just happened to be “discovered” after landing?

Frankly I’m surprised considering that our former president, who remains the most popular political figure in America and with a unique and compelling ability to communicate about real issues, seems content to do nothing but hang out with celebrities and hone his own ego and fondness for fame. He’s like the anti Jimmy…

Exactly - this movie seems like the same kind of mealy-mouthed opinion from nowhere that declares both parties to be exactly the same and if we all just came together in some kind of warm fuzzy face-to-face (but somehow involving 330 million people) that we’d all realize that we have a lot in common after all. In…

After spending 20 some hours with the game, it’s pretty clear that Rebirth is just a bunch of minigames (and tasks, because Cloud is nothing but Chadley’s errand boy stuck doing repetitive tasks and chores pinpointed on a map in different areas) strung together and occasionally interrupted by actual plot, with zero…

Another one of those stories where you don’t even have to read the details to know the dolt in question is a Republican.

We’re all rightfully mocking this bigot’s joke of a lawsuit drafted purely out of entitlement and pique, but it’s going to suck when it ends up in front of some MAGA judge who agrees to give her everything she’s demanding so that judge can own the libs.
