I enjoy Eureka a lot, actually. I think I have 2 complete Eureka weapons (but I’ve never done the Baldesion Arsenal). It’s a nice change of pace to the rest of the game’s activities, some times. And I do have some FFXI nostalgia, to be fair. 

Yeah. The actual gameplay does feel like it needed another year in development. The ideas are good, but the bones feel shaky. It just needs tuning to feel better.

............... I absolutely hate myself for saying this but............

Yeah, there’s a problem that it doesn’t even make sense.

In total honesty, I didn’t know who this guy was until this week. I’m not making any comment about how common my experience is, especially since he’s apparently a gaming youtuber.

Honestly, I recommend just dropping the sub for a month and giving early Shb a start. If it doesn’t grip you, then it’s not much lost.

Every time I watch Solo, it’s so frustrating because you can see the better movie that they deliberately chose not to make.

It’s just that the fan service was exceptionally better than the absolutely atrocious use of fan service that was RoS.

There is a reality that pit bulls are an incredibly strong animal, so they are fundamentally more dangerous as a function of that power.

I mention Elden Ring because it’s the game of them that I’ve played. I can’t comment on the art direction of the others.

There are many wonderful things about Elden Ring, but I don’t think it deserves an art direction nomination. It’s just typical soulsborne design with a slightly softer palette. 

My brain clearly isn’t working because I’ve read this multiple times and I’m still not seeing it, lmao. But thank you!

Tinkaton evolution line is amazing and I love it. For the most part the others are various levels of forgettable. Individuals I like here and there, but outside of the excalibur dragons I’m not thrilled with any other evolutionary line. Really dislike what they chose to do with the starters, tragically. 

Wait, wait, is this manned or unmanned? Because either way I have QUESTIONS.

Genre also matters. Mandalorian was a Western, with a lot of action set pieces. Andor is a slow-burn political/spy thriller.

I think he was fantastic in Rogue One, too, it’s just that the part wasn’t written to show as much range as we get here. But juxtaposing both his anger with Jyn after not killing Galen and his humility later, when the rebellion was all falling apart, was always very well done acting work.

The difference is that Mando had opted into a life of violence, so it’s natural he’d find it everywhere.

I haven’t seen anything on Kotaku which compares to io9 lately. They’ll do show reviews, make the title the major spoiler, with a photo, and then put content below a spoiler warning in the actual body of the post as if they didn’t just give it all away.

Nah, I definitely feel like it’s the latter. The fact that it has the same error as Pokemon suggests the issue is that someone else got the license, to the poin that they don’t even want the Pokemon fan creations on the site. 

The lego model for it truly is fantastic though.
