Wayyyy too much credit was given to XIII. That was the only FF game which I got frustrated, quit, and threw the game away out of spite.

I’ve never seen such an overreaction to what is simply an average game which, let’s face it, was never going to be make-or-break for Xbox’s success, and certainly wasn’t hyped to the level Starfield is.

Yep same. Other people not being able to play a game, somehow doesn't make the game more fun. The Xbox is such a good platform, and gamepass is such a good deal. 

I mean... no, that’s obviously not true. Some people might migrate to a cloud-only experience but there’s no way it’s going to be the majority of people. Lots of people want to own their games and lots of other people simply don’t have internet speeds needed for cloud gaming.

I might be alone here but I don’t particularly care for exclusives. I’d just rather have a good platform with good games that functions. My Xbox gets more use than any of my other devices that have good exclusives save for the few weeks I’ll play a zelda or a Spider-man. I still have no intention of getting a PS5 just…

“Is there a tibetan actor who could’ve done that?”

One has little to do with the other 

I don’t think you’re reaching far enough back, to be honest.  Certainly, the series you mentioned showed how you could elevate a cartoon show, but I don’t think any of them would exist if Batman: The Animated Series didn’t exist.  The influence of that show is just so wide-reaching.

Even as a little kid I found it hilarious that He-Man’s secret identity was putting a shirt on. 

Kids shows, even based on toylines, have gotten exponentially better in the past 10-15 years, and honestly, we can probably thank My Little Pony. Relax, I have two daughters who have been watching all things MLP since they were 2. That show proved you could have a thoughtful, smart, well-designed cartoon based on toys…

Counterpoint: She-Ra was originally a lame He-Man clone that catered to girls. The recent reboot is a phenomenally well-done reimagining with a compelling story and even more compelling characters and relationships that actually evolve over the course of five seasons.

I may have said the before on here, but I sat down last year with my 6 year old son to try and kick off the nostalgia train and get him into He-Man and started watching the old series. We both barely made it through the first episode. He politely asked if we could watch something else when it finished and I happily…

I like the decision to make Prince Adam look considerably less muscular than He-Man. Actually making him look less like He-Man just wearing a pink vest. Making it seem like he really needs the power of Greyskull to fight Skeletor.

Not once do you mention that it’s Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization launching rockets at Israeli civilians

“Not once do you mention that it’s Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization launching rockets at Israeli civilians”

Yep. This isn’t a heartwarming tale, this is a damning indictment of our healthcare system and the effects of weak labor protections.

All of this because he lives in a country where the cost of healthcare would kill him otherwise. This is all great and warm and fuzzy, but let’s not forget that this would not be necessary in a country with a working healthcare system for its citizens. 

“nobody actually wanted small sedans and hatchbacks”
Honda, Hyundai/Kia, and Toyota would beg to differ.

Harley and Gm making just the big and expensive stuff and Ford giving up on cars, Home builders mostly building gigantic homes. This is a wide spread issue that will not get any better. With limited space and limited raw materials and ever fewer people with the money to buy the expensive stuff, I wonder how this trend…
