A few things:
-the “new model” Wallace killed was played by another actress
-the giant nude Joi was a generic version, and it’s use of Joe helped echo that fact that some facets of K’s Joi was engrained, and that it just told him what he wanted to hear - not necessarily that this made their love fake, but rather that he…

I do the exact opposite; I firmly believe that any sex scene must be plot relevant, otherwise is just fanservice for the sake of it. 2049's scene not only cuts before the act itself, it’s narratively important AND beautifully realized. It might be my favorite scene in the movie, other than the ending.

I was fond of the new film, though I’ll admit that what grabbed me the most was how the aesthetic, ambiance, cinematography, music, etc. meshed with the original. That’s nothing to slouch at, and although it sounds more like technical praise than anything (especially considering the lapsed 35 years), I found it to be…

It’s literally not. They never once imply that Gosling “realizes how ultimately hollow and one-sided his relationship was, and he decides to commit fully to saving the lives of others in order to restore some human order to the world”. Also, he’s not restoring order, he’s literally sparking off a violent robot…

Only if you have a supportive witness present.

If you’d kept reading, you might have realized Bronze Sebs Fever is a woman...

I thought Jared Leto was quite excellent in BR2K49 (as I know dub it thus)

I agree with that sentiment, concerning the negging at workplace. If HR and the higher ups won’t do anything about it, the next best thing is to get some skills to deal with the situation.

The second you let them know they upset you they’ve won. They’re doing the shitty behaviour to upset you, that’s the point. You tell them once in an email so you have written proof to take to HR that you tried to sort it out, then you take it to HR when nothing changes.

Perhaps, but informing douchebro that his comments/behavior are inappropriate helps your case when you go to your boss or HR.

Thank you. This is my experience with Hanzo. I do perfectly fine if the team does their job, I do horribly if the team doesn’t do their job. I can switch, but the result is the same because the team as a while fails to function.

I don’t even understand what helps in any situation.

It’s far too often that players want to point the finger at a specific role as being at fault. DPS performance doesn’t happen in a vacuum and every character is capable of outputting damage to contribute to a kill.

PUBG now exists. I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to assume that a very large chunk of those rather toxic players have migrated over to that shooter.

I wonder how much of this is also due to kids being back in school. The internet gets meaner between the months of June and September.

I’m not a person that ever looks in the arcade menu so I actually forgot about that mode. That makes a lot of sense as well. A lot of the conflict came from players that just wanted to let loose with a specific character. Or maybe even just wanted to practice with them without switching.

I think something that might have helped was school starting back up for the year. I had A LOT of kid sounding people screaming obscenities and racial slurs in my ear May - July, very few before and after.
