I type on a computer.

Good.

Try reading what I said before you comment.

Oh, you’re back.

Paradise is the only Burnout game that ever held my interest.

I never had the impulse to destroy other people’s stuff. Still like destroying things in games.

I’m exactly in the same boat. The Amiibo craze just never captured my attention, but I sure would like a little Solaire by my side.

Why is Major smiling? Is she being hacked?

You’d think her brain still needs some chemical energy to keep functioning. Still, I’d think that she doesn’t need to eat, but can just choose to. In the movie, Batou talked about how they can drink as much alcohol as they want and not get drunk due to their company-owned parts.

Hooly dooly!

It would have probably been better just to have black censor bars. It looks ugly, but at least it’s clear that they aren’t misrepresenting historical art.

You know, when I first saw a 1080p TV, I didn’t notice anything special. It wasn’t until after getting used to watching a 1080p TV did I notice that standard definition looked like blurry garbage.

Your mind is good at filling in gaps, and, I think, when you stop forcing it to do the work, that’s when you notice it.

There was nothing in the rules saying that an heir can’t be king just because they never lived in Wakanda! Their hands were tied!

Hm. I don’t even think of The Dark Knight’s third act as a third act. I felt like the movie was over before all the Two-Face stuff, and that was just an extended epilogue, which I loved every second of.

Heh. I’m the kind of asshole that this line fell kind of flat for me. I mean, half his ancestry was incredibly privileged. And while it’s possible that some of his ancestors threw themselves from the boat, he’s definitely a direct decedent of one who didn’t.

The trial by combat bothers me more as a thematic element, rather than world-building one. I mean, I can conceive how a benevolent monarchy would be a good system of government, and Wakanda has just knocked it out of the park for all this time.

What if loot boxes weren’t gambling, but still harmful enough to do something about?

I don’t see how you make the conclusion that the problems today in the video game industry started with Atari, when the toxic culture was stamped out in ‘76. Especially when you add that women ended up having worse experiences after leaving Atari.

The movie is fine. The science is bad, but so many other movies get a pass on that. This movie was going for a haunted house in space, and it worked. We got to see some weird things, and that’s all the movie was trying to do. I liked the weird things.

You should care. It’s a gaping hole in your logic for you to think that “animations that can be cancelled” means “only button mashing matters”.
