I mean, I know I love paying $100k to be a beta-tester!

Nah, that’s for the off-lease trucks that cost $90k new but are now a deal at $60k.

It’s a $60k+ truck. It’s supposed to $60k+ truck things. Like

Starships are like cities and galaxies are so large, even if you were to stay “local”, it could be years before you get back to the same port. If Roddenberry didn’t think people onboard ship should be in relationships with one another, it was only because he had not yet stretched our imagination that far.

“Overwatch’s PvP gameplay just turned out to be very difficult to adapt for PvE. Mostly because of how differentiated and PvP-oriented the hero kits are,” they were living in a bubble back in 2019. But even just blaming “Blizzard Quality,” no, no, no, you guys may need some checks and balances. Why do you need so…

A game more akin to Vermintide/Darktide with character powers and weapons designed for PvE could have had potential to be amazing. Reusing the existing Overwatch was absolutely a mistake. I was skeptical since the Overwatch 2 announcement due to my experiences with the anniversary missions: mildly fun but an ill fit.

The difference between George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry is that Roddenberry died relatively early in the lifetime of the franchise, and since he is no longer around to remind us all how terrible he is, then it’s easy to fill in the gaps and pretend like he was a saint who made no bad decisions whatsoever.

DS9 violated a bunch of Gene Roddenberry rules (no religion, no wars, no inter-personal conflict) and is the best Star Trek there is.

As the article outlines, they can’t decide what the focus and scale should be for single-player mode, in a game specifically designed from its very core to be an online PvP shooter with no AI elements in regards to squads and level layout. Trying to do so has in turn sabotaged the thing it’s supposed to be, so now the…

Shatner’s got some nerve calling out people’s appearances as “stunts.”  His last outing as Kirk saw him travel through time so Picard could see him get crushed to death by a small footbridge that was spanning 2 boulders.

That’s not really the point though. Its that they promise something, then abandoned it. And then they promised something else, and are probably going to abandon it too.

that includes crew members not making out with each other

As soon as they shut down OW1 and launched OW2 sans the PvE mode, the writing as been on the wall that it was never going to happen.  

This is all down to useless leadership that rarely ever face consequences for their terrible, awful, no-good decisions.

If this is the message you wanted to send, be civil, then that should be the point of the film. Not centered on a journalist’s journey to the White House as the Texifornia army encircles D.C.* — It should be about how the two sides put aside their differences and take decisive action against a fascist leader. It’s…

I really fucking hate fence sitters. Garland routinely puts his foot in his mouth, I remember him also saying some shit about “refusing to participate” when people asked him about casting Cailee Spaeny as a biological male in Devs and if he was trying to convey any kind of trans representation.

Those who sit on the fence merely get impaled.

Right. But he did MAKE a choice. He CHOSE to set it in a country with highly partisan rhetoric, lots of armed jagoffs, a free press routinely under attack moreso now than ever before, etc. Holding him responsible for that artistic choice is not asking much.

“Garland explained that it’s about political divisiveness in general and our insistence on ‘talking and not listening.’ He said there are politicians and people in the media ‘on both sides of the divide’ who are ‘wonderful’ and that ‘left and right are ideological arguments about how to run a state’ and nothing…

No I agree, I hate the paper doll style animation. It’s jarring and makes games that use it look cheap
