MAKO FOR LIFE

I am slowly completing my first Cyberpunk playthrough, and I love almost all the cars and motorcycles in it. The designs are wild and mostly angular, evoking designs of the 80s of course.

Don’t forget the M35 Mako from Mass Effect. Sure, it’s not the fastest thing in the galaxy, but how many can stake their claim on being able to scale mountains at a near absolute 90 degree angle?

Something about those alien fishermen reminded me of 1980s Henson Creature Shop creations, both in their dialogue and their appearance.

Between the dogfight and last week’s monologue (and the rest), Luthen in my mind is already an all-time classic Star Wars character. That Imperial stop-and-search was so insanely tense I thought the whole thing was going to end in a Game of Thrones penultimate shock death, and when he ripped the tractor beam to pieces

Nitpick #2:  Those aren’t the “hard-working fisher aliens” sleeping in Cassian’s old hotel room, they are just random alien guests of the same hotel.  Different species entirely.  And why would Cassian need to tip toe through the room and sneakily retrieve his box if the room was occupied by his friends/liberators?  

Nitpick:  Luthen’s “fake credentials” actually do work, the Imperial captain just proceeds with the planned boarding “for practice” and because he’s a dick.  

Of course the Mothma scene imparts new information. It tells us that Leida is weirdly embracing her creepy-ass Chandrilian conservative roots and might not actually MIND being packaged off to another guy. Which does little to quell Mon’s anguish over it, since she knows how shitty those arrangements turn out to be.

Now come back to the EU, you c**s!

I’m just happy to see an actor who for once realizes he’s not the character he portrays.  Too many seem to think they are musicians, cowboys, both, or, worse, qualified to hold public office.

He also voted for Buttigieg. He strikes me as a rich guy who hates paying taxes and will vote for whoever doesn’t make him pay taxes without reminding him that they also hate minorities.

I was about to say - I didn’t even know there was a McPixel 2!

I guess that’s the gag. I did enjoy McPixel back in the day. I’ll check this out for sure.

I loved the original on Android. What a delightful surprise to see it discussed in full here.

It’s just a joyfully stupid game. Not mentioned is the oddly infectious beat always playing in the background until the jingle of a successful result sounds. Which always reminds me of Reading Rainbow for some reason.

One of them is a black hole sucking in everything in site and crushing everything into non-functional oblivion in an orgy of destruction.

“The Democratic Party doesn’t represent anything that I think, and neither does the Republican Party *right now* ...”

Stubbing your toe sucks.

True, but usually when people like Costner say the Democrats suck, it’s not for the reasons they actually suck.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the National Transportation Safety Board, hybrid vehicles had the most fires per 100,000 sales at 3474.5. There were 1529.9 fires per 100k for gas vehicles and just 25.1 fires per 100k sales for electric vehicles.
