Was that before or after they smashed windows, smeared shit on the walls, and violently assaulted police officers?

See I loved all the Uncharted games and found Witcher III to be incredibly tedious and checked out after playing 10 hours or so that felt like endless random quests that served a story I knew or cared nothing about.

Hopefully she has people close to her who can understand better - I think we all agree that “fans on the internet” are not going to be the right source for such an intervention, even if they happen to be correct (and I am in no way saying they are).

A game, which is *flat*.

America can, should, must, and will blow up the tornado.

I was just going to say that. Admittedly I did not see it in the theatre, where I imagine the effects would have looked cool, but I just found it a deeply mediocre movie and I do not get the nostalgia for it.

I feel like there’s an arc with the Wilhelm scream.

I think I saw Barton Fink when I was too young to quite get it, but my memories of that movie are Goodman coming down the hallway as it lights up in fire behind him, and Lerner saying “You think you’re the only one who can give us that Barton Fink feeling?”

Well as opposed to the “better than the god awful Godzilla movie”.

I mean a statue of Stalin could plausibly be construed as hate speech. To take it a step further, if someone painted their house with Nazi swastikas, that certainly seems like a problem.

I’m in a condo where I will grant we need an HoA because all of the “not people’s dwellings” parts of the apartment need to be managed, but it’s this constant thing where the people who want to be on the board are the people who I’d least like to be there. Of course if I complain then people start telling me to run…

“People yell and spit at us if we don’t stop when they want to take a selfie”

I mean it feels like there’s a good way to say you don’t like a joke and a way to do it while being a total dick and he did the second one. 

As as anyone who went to school knows, *nobody* is cooler than the principal...

Agree it was a distraction, but insofar as it may have been conceived cynically, it certainly appears they invested way more than ‘distraction’ resources in it, meaning at some point somebody (presumably Zuck at least) started really believing it.

Also you’ll really be able to walk!

Agree with all this, but can pretty easily see why the idea of creating, I don’t know, Ready Player One I guess, makes a really good pitch deck, and you can always get someone who knows (or appears to know) about tech to say it’s technologically feasible for a big enough investment.
And for that matter, they are…

Yeah, my reaction was kind of ‘hey that was neat’.

Sure, Smash Brothers is silly. “Silly, but for serious gamers” just seems like a weird niche to try to create.
