The spectacle (by that I mean the big baddie showdown at the end) in WW was honestly the least interesting part of the movie, too. They probably could’ve saved another like $10m by scaling that back and have had a better end product.

It looks pretty, but it’s not a cute mini version of the same thing I had in 1992, which I think is a big part of the appeal of this whole nostalgia cash-in.

Yeah but the SNES games are better ;). Seriously tho, Earthbound costs like $100 for just the cartridge on eBay.

I was roughly 50 hours into the game, never really invested in the story (keeping in mind that its usually a 100+ hour completion time) reached a road block where I clearly hadn’t grinded enough to get past, and realized that despite my time invested that I really didn’t care enough to proceed.

I dunno, Earthbound is pretty fantastic, I’d call it a toss-up.

Yes PLZ. I mean, I still have my SNES and 3 or 4 of these games, but STILL. I will totally buy this - as long I can get it for less than what I originally bought it for 26 years ago! (Maybe, maybe not?)

She seemed confused at first when bebe Diana asked to see the Godkiller. So I’m guessing that to protect her from the truth, she pretended that a fancy magic sword they happened to have on display was secretly the Godkiller sword.

At least not as a *functional* sword (vs a hilt used as some sort of fashion statement).

Yeah, but then they’d have to make lunchboxes and action figures of girls, and we can’t have that. /s

WHAT. That’s even worse than the Captain America: Civil War valentines cards I saw. (Because what’s more romantic than punching your friend in the face?)

I don’t think that many people get a thrill from having “interesting” names (I know that I hated it when I was a kid, though my name later became a trendy “interesting” name and is now somewhat common). Their parents get a thrill from having a kid with an interesting name. The kid just gets teased and gets tired of…

Right, like, literally any of good guys in that movie, or the original trilogy, would have been a better choice.

Jaden/Jayden isn’t awful, just trendy and overly common. We’re in the generation of every other boy’s name being “__aiden”, lol.

Is that supposed to be pronounced Jason, or Jackson? Or something else?

Having been involved in planning my father’s funeral, I know that funerals are fucking expensive, so don’t even. $1k wouldn’t have gotten us his cremated ashes in a used milk jug. They wanted thousands just to do the cremation, and of course they don’t tell you that until after they have the body, and then what are…

Well, every other developed nation has solved this issue, which is why they have far lower health care costs than we do. But that would require a level of market intervention that would give the GOP a heart attack.

The expanded Medicaid eligibility means that a single adult working full-time for minimum wage will still be eligible for the program, as will a family of 4 with two working adults. Which is great for folks in the states that took the expansion, not so much for the states that didn’t.

My point was that, if they die, they’ll leave their family in debt anyway (funeral costs etc), and with one fewer wage-earner. If you have a choice between “definitely die, and put my family in bankruptcy” or “possibly not die, and put my family in bankruptcy”, the latter one sounds less shitty. Our system is deeply,…

My dad was in same situation. Near the end, he was going in for a few hours maybe once a week, but we still had insurance, which was lucky. That shouldn’t have to be a matter of luck. Everybody should have that no matter what, not just if they have nice bosses who want to help out a loyal longtime employee out of the…

SCOTUS is hearing a case this year arguing that partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional. 🤞🤞🤞 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/21/us/democrats-gerrymander-supreme-court.html
