Yeah, I think that after a while people retroactively got mad at some of the tedious fetch-item quests. For all of the incredible storytelling and world building, there was also a metric ton of “find all the red lyrium so that Varric trusts you” stuff.

That’s interesting. I remember when The Expanse premiered, there was some publicity over Jonathan Banks’ involvement, who was still riding pretty high on his work on Breaking Bad (in pre “Better Call Saul” days). I was so annoyed when I realized that he was only in a single scene in the beginning of the first episode,…

Not focusing on Shepard would be idiotic and is the sort of thing hardcore fans totally incorrectly think is a good idea. It’s exactly the same as the “Don’t make it about Jedi!!!” people with Star Wars.

(Warning: I am not a physicist, astronomer, or in fact anyone, any kind of person that anyone should pay attention to in any way, ever.)

God dammit. Take your fucking star.

Look, I have a Sony A7 III, which is a pretty great camera all around, but I ain’t carrying it with me everywhere.

I remember seeing an interview with one of the filmmakers of Casino Royale in which they indicated that the turn to gritty realism was 100% a reaction to Austin Powers. Make of that what you will.

I see you, brother.

Some places it’s more like “HEAU-gie.”

It’s true. I mean, they’re basically fine, but I would say that the quality started to go down at about the time when they implemented their touchpad ordering systems, which was... I dunno, ten years ago? More?

Somewhere, probably in the depths of my parent’s house, I still have a copy of the “Because I’m a Boinger” / “U Really Stink (But I love you)“ flexidisc.

I love the animation style!

I dunno, man. I enjoyed Watchmen, but with Watchmen it felt bizarrely like Snyder was curtailing some of Alan Moore’s worse instincts. (The difference in the explosion / evil plot / MacGuffin was an improvement over the original comic and I don’t care what anyone says).

“I thought you were dead.”

Global? Anyone? What’s that? I’m old and my references are dated? Yeah?! Well, . . . . um . . . . uh . . . . fair point.

If you’re experiencing physical pain because someone doesn’t want to spend a couple hundred bucks on headphones, that’s on you dude.

I have this keyboard and like it an awful lot. The only thing I don’t like is that when I’m on a voice chat with my team, they complain that it’s super loud, even over chat.
