He’s pointing out the absurdity of the situation we’re currently in. I also see it as a call to demand better of our politicians going forward.

Turning this into a live action movie instead of an animated show (or movie) makes absolutely ZERO sense to me, but I’ve long grown tired of the IP anyway. 

Back when the Film Club podcast was still running (sign), A.A. Dowd said that “Tenet is the kind of movie that Nolan’s detractors accuse him of always making” and I think that sums it up pretty well.

“Tenet” was... fine? I certainly don’t regret seeing it. But this weird thing where “we” (speaking loosely) decide that certain people (in this case, a director) are “geniuses”, and thus everything they do needs to be constantly reappraised and re-evaluated until that self-evident genius becomes apparent, needs to…

yeah if anything Tenet is pretty much all of Nolan’s worst tendencies rolled into one movie.

I was just talking about Tenet the other night. Nolan at his worst. Uninspired story, flat characters, and a puzzle box gimmick that gets tiresome by the third act. And I liked Inception!

This is... certainly a take.

This is a bad comment and you should feel bad

If I’m reading a review about Helldivers II, I don’t want to read about the technical problems of Kotaku’s website. 

Do you think that the writers actually have any control over Kotaku technical limitations? Or that a game journalist shouldn’t talk about technical issues with the game he’s reviewing? This rationale makes no sense to me.

Feels like you could’ve included a visual of what the new UI looks like for comparison.

While its more subtle, the revolver UI is still there. Take a closer look at the crescent moon shape to the left compared to where the combat menu is.

Loving the big-yikes energy here.

I can see how the concept works. If the issue is about death threats than it shouldn’t matter who is receiving them at all. That’s the point, the posts here are not about sympathy for victims but all about “well you can’t say that about them because why didn’t you feel that about about this?” Aka: Whataboutism.

Dude, fuck off with your whataboutism. You don’t give a shit about anyone other than feeding into whatever culture war you’re currently jerking off to.  No one needs your concern trolling.

You either die a hero or live long enough to make DC's version of Marvel's Avengers.

What is hilarious to me is that you just described Marvels Avengers. That game had a fairly robust 3rd person combat system, really good dialogue and scripted scenes, and an enjoyable single-player campaign.

“At that moment, we only wanted freedom,” wrote one retired teacher among the trapped in a letter to the editor published by Globo. “We didn’t know how to proceed. It was like we were orphans there. Look, what drama, right? We were without action, desperate.”

“Burning to death feels good in a place like this.”

Can’t decide what’s harder to believe; that a party is hell bent on burning down their country to rule over the ashes, or that I’m siding with bloody goddamn Disney.
