Lets be clear about it, this is one of those “feature, not a bug” situations.

The July launch you referenced was the actual beta period. I participated in the closed alpha, which was last May, and then the game came back in July for an open beta before launching with season one in August. They have just now decided that the game was in beta the whole time because they fucked up so bad. You

In my experience, there’s always a chance when you walk by a manhole cover that a purple robot ninja will jump out of the sewer and throw the cover at you, so I guess get good at catching?

I’ve never thought about it before, but how would one go about stealing a manhole cover? This is unrelated to the story, of course.

“20 Best Films of All Time — Ranked By An Expert Jury”

How did far cry 4 make the list over, say, link to the past? as the list says, “any game where you can hang-glide over a waterfall is fine by me”. and you know what? they’re right! that ruled! and if that makes it one of their favourite games of all time, then it deserves a spot on their list.

and it was a dumb sidequest too because that’s not even how stellar maps work in TGFFA- there was nothing preventing anyone from matching the patch of stars in the map fragment they had against the known stars in a complete galactic map and knowing exactly where Luke was immediately! But hyperspace routes are finicky

I suspect that on the PS5 Returnal takes heavy advantage of the insanely fast storage and the GPU’s direct access to the SSD. While an NVMe SSD in a PC gets close, the SSD in the PS5 is still faster. To mimic the insanely fast SSD of the PS5 the game is loading more assets into RAM instead. The DirectStorage API in

“Everything about that scene screamed the leader being focused and aggressive, but incompetent in his actual decisions and orders. It’s just an odd combo.”

I think your points are pretty weak.

The extra weapons aside, is this not another emphasising point to the fact the Empire are far too complacent in their ability to crush everyone and everything in their path until the Rebellion fully erupts?

I don’t know your definition of ‘dark’ sci-fi, but if you’re leaning in the ‘gritty’ Blade Runner direction, Andor is in fact not that, and why I feel it’s refreshing not just for Star Wars but the current cyberpunk-obsessed grimdark sci-fi landscape in general. Andor is an ‘adult’ ‘mature’ show insofar as it...

You’re assuming that people critical of the CCP aren’t also critical of the US gov. That's a false dichotomy, neither should be above reproach.

And inside the market, the shelves collapse, the fridge can be pulled from the wall, there’s the trap door to the roof, and a removable panel in the bottom so that you can have a graboid pop out and devour poor Walter Chang (who is sadly the only mini fig I haven’t been able to reproduce yet using existing

It’s been a long road…

I’ll start this by saying that anyone is free to feel insulted by whatever they feel insulted by. But I - an Asian-American living in a third world country - really think this criticism is stretching a bit.

Props to the costume dept for the subtle changes and for Admr. Pike’s movie era uniform.

My only complaint with this show, and all the latest Trek shows, is that I wish the Colorless Broadcasting System put this on broadcast TV so that more people can enjoy it for free.

It reminds me of Schoolhouse Rock. And now I'm imagining Palpatine singing about how a chancellor becomes an emperor.

I would maaaaaaaaaybe put it ahead of Jason takes Manhatten (which is as horrible as the perfect description makes it out to be), but the remake wasn’t fun to watch at all for me.
