“You don’t get a cartoon and two made for TV movies out of characters that are not beloved (Battle for Endor was the last new movie to come out before Phantom Menace).”

As a child of that era, I can absolutely assure you that ewoks did not carry the franchise through the 80s. They didn’t even exist until Return of the Jedi, and at that point the franchise was already a juggernaut. Yes Ewoks were a thing and marketed, but not like r2d2 and the rest. The ewok spinoff was a complete…

The jrpg style combat and protagonist definitely shake the series up. I’ve played all of them, finished three of them, so I get what you’re saying. 

Ugh. 

Dude!! I have never felt more ready to defend the frontier. 

This is unintentional comedy, the best kind of comedy. My favorite Ebert quip in a review of Dr. Strangelove:

Could be that there is some tipping point where being capable of more nuanced satire means you have too many cerebral creases to remain a hard right nutcase. 

Recent Zelda games, anything online multiplayer, souls games, post-snes FF games, anything card-based, monster hunter, anything where time pressure is a core mechanic. 

Most people have a gazillion deep backlog and don’t care, hence the success of gamepass. And for the rare game that you want to play for years, you get a discount on it. Or you wait for it to come around again, like GTA has. 

It’s not particularly surprising, given that the commenter didn’t say what gen studio they have. I have a Studio Laptop that runs Windows 11 natively. 

Because even the best distros suck balls compared to Windows for the vast majority of things most consumers use computers for, everyone has it, and it runs everything natively without Proton. Note also, Android sucks balls as a Desktop OS. 

Presumably, in store data indicates you’re wrong. If you think a significant fraction of people walk into a best buy for physical media, you have quite the backlog of well documented data to catch up on.

Obviously, so that we might play them too.

PLATFORMS. 

I think I’m coming to realize that I just don’t like Star Wars anymore, outside of the original trilogy. I cannot get enthused about this, even though 10 years ago I would have loved it.

Dave the Diver isn’t an indie game. 

PLATFORMS. 

Jeezus you're like the gaming equivalent of a flat earther. I mean, we'd need Dante to find the lowest ring of stupid to give you something to strive for. 

The prophecy! 

Jesus Christ you are fucking stupid.
