So you leapt to conclusions about my post, insulted me based on that misunderstanding, and apparently your behavior is somehow my fault for my failure to divine how your mind interprets things. It’s been, what? Three days since Pratt was announced to be taking the role? Perhaps I’m just getting old and slow, but it…

Never said anything about Pratt’s ability or inability to do Mario. I just said I didn’t want him to do an Italian version of his Starlord character. I just feel it doesn’t fit the tone I expect from the Mario franchise. Maybe you disagree given how insistent you seem to be at Mario’s absolute lack of characterization,…

Blade Runner was filmed during Ford’s Indiana Jones run, not after (temple of doom and last crusade both came after Blade Runner). But yeah, this is beside the point.

I don’t like or dislike Pratt in most things, but it’s very dumb to assume that an actor will play something the same way he played other characters, especially if they guy is typecast.

Looks nice. About time for a gritty Angry Beavers reboot.

The rest of the casting seems okay, so I’m going to probably give it a shot. I just hope the director has a death grip on Pratt’s collar. The guy will revert into his insufferable man-child schtick if given any leeway.

To be fair, I think it’s written on the Bible that you should always cast the first stone after judging others lest you be judged yourself.

I feel like you shouldn’t be talking about plot structure in your introduction. I get you feel the story is so clichéd you can describe the story beats openly but players looking to give the game a shot deserve to experience the narrative unfold at its own pace for better or worse.

I guess they’re looking for a new deplorable online community to sponsor. I eagerly look forward to incels storming the white house next year. Should be quite a show.

Lax gun control and laissez faire stand-your-ground laws were too subtle a declaration.

crap. we got climate change in our video games now too?

Fair enough. Like I said: the primary reason is political.

I wouldn’t be so quick to let it off the hook. I feel that the general mistrust of doctors and medical professionals is at least partly caused *by* the USA’s terrible healthcare system. When you have an entire industry champing at the bit to bankrupt you at the first sign of unhealth, it’s going to make people…

I’m guessing it’s more about losing less money. Since most people would rather not have a pornography service featuring prominently in their financial record, there’s significant motivation out there to try and pay for porn through less straightforward means (through compromised or stolen credit cards, for example).

the need to /s has never been so eloquent.

In browsers, as with love, it matters if the one looking to one f*ck you gave you a choice first.

I hope I’m not minimizing the concerns of the “Anti” crowd, but I can’t help but to compare this controversy with the perennial undead horse of “video-games cause violence” that gets trotted out every now and again.

afaik, the Vatican’s stance is staunchly pro-vaccine and pro-science in matters concerning COVID-19 (ie, listen to the scientists for medical advice). Now, I’m not suggesting we revisit the practice of burning church leaders that openly defy with the Pope like the filthy heretics they are... but maybe we can singe…

I hear what you’re saying and actually agree, but surely you realize you’re not going to convince anyone when your argument hinges on defending someone that rapes children? All you’re going to accomplish is harden the position of those who might have been more receptive otherwise.

It’s possible that 2 million is merely the highest number he knows.
