Totally unrelated but man.... I’ve never played a FromSoft game until Elden Ring and holy muthereffin’ shit it’s so difficult but so rewarding. I know that’s a cliché but I’ve can’t count how many times I’ve yelled “LET’S GO!” after finally beating a mini-boss or demigod. The lack of contextual clues on the map was…

The way I understand it is that Dune is going to be two movies and then if he gets a chance, he would make Dune Messiah as a single movie and (SPOILERS) finish off Paul’s arc. At this time, he is not interested in making any more than that. Personally, I think everything through God Emperor has merit, but everyone’s…

The third one would adapt Dune Messiah. The plan is still to do the first book in two movies.

If Roscosmos is as well run as their military seems to be, then I fully agree that it’s incompetence.

also directors LIKE collaborating with actors. it’s less about ‘control’ and more about working together with someone who’s opinion you respect and trusting them to make those decisions, while you’re off making other decisions.

Those commenters went the wrong way. Gimme one without the turtleneck and we got a deal.

It's absolutely childish, but also Kelly is a retired private citizen now, he no longer represents the government. I wish the tone was less combative but I actually appreciate hearing an unfiltered perspective from someone with very specialized insight.

No, they weren’t dry runs. They were genuine incompetence.  Scott Kelly is actually right; this is only hurting the Russian space program.

Pattinson is virtually on the same career path as Clooney, and at roughly the same point of it (probably somewhat further along, in fact) while at nearly the same age he played Batman himself. I don’t know if people think Pattinson has some sort of Twilight stink on him that should somehow be affecting his power in…

I mean—possibly? That’s probably already been done in some comic or other. These characters are reinvented with great regularity, sometimes including core personality traits and cornerstones of their backstory. They get different parents, different origin stories, different goals and motives, different names.…

FTFY

The problem was that we had been given too many choices, and there was just no way that the developers could’ve possibly respected all of them well. It’s a general problem that choice-driven series face when they’re able to push off the consequences of a choice onto a future dev team.

“Killing civilians is bad” is a moral stance, not a political one, tovarish.

I doubt Valve is getting any money from Russia right now, considering their banks have been cut off from SWIFT.

whoosh

The fandom hell we find ourselves in is begging for a deus ex machina to break its ever exhausting cycle. At the very least, we could’ve avoided this if more folks understood the purpose of fanfiction.

that’s not to say some of the astroturfed Cyberpunk 2077 reviews don’t make good points.

Whataboutism isn’t a good point, it’s a logical fallacy. The fact that other issues haven’t received the same degree of attention just means that more attention needs to be given to those issues, not that less attention needs to be…

This is pretty in line with the rest of the game’s misleading hand holding design philosophy. So let’s say you ignore the hole in the ground and run straight outside. You see your first enemy (the Tree Sentinel), have a go at him, and get stomped hard. The game is saying, “Psych, you’re not ready yet, go back.”

I love this type of baked in tut because you can totally skip it when doing a new build to save time. Really enjoying taking my time and avoiding spoilers for this amazing game. BTW Congrats on the big win! Glad to have Kotaku and it’s writers back!

They had a line saying that the Borg was weakened and pretty much decimated. I’m guessing we’re going to find out that the janeways’ goodbye to the Delta quadrant really weakened and the Borg and this is the first time in a long time that the Federation has come in contact with them.
