Yep I play video games to escape real life.

But this game is extremely realistic in that I’m driving around in a Honda Civic and I can only dream about driving the nice cars.

“It’s a loving callback to wildly popular and over-the-top snowboarding gems like 1080 and SSX that puts way more emphasis on the meditative precision of board control.”

holy shit that’s even worse!

When I Alt-F4 with Octopath Traveler (Game Pass), I’m dumped to the desktop and the game is gone, but in reality it’s still running in the background! So, yeah, I have to go through all the stupid hoops in order to exit properly (or use task manager to kill the process afterwards). Ugh.

The funny part is there are so many golden seeds and sacred tears in the world you actually didn’t even need to, as you cap out at a point and there are more than you need so that you don’t have to 100% the game.

He’s not an engineer, he’s not a scientist, he’s just a techbro who dropped out of grad school after three days to found a startup where he takes other people’s money and uses it to pay real engineers and real scientists to re-invent tunnels.

Building a space launch company, a multi-thousand satellite constellation, and the most successful EV company is a snake-oil salesman?

Not to be one of those nerds who defends Elon musk, but here in California nearly every car is a Tesla and the folks who drive them all love them, swear by them, and say they’ll never drive another car that’s not a Tesla.   That’s some snake oil he’s got there.  

We apologize that you got mad at how we handled this one game but rest assured we will make slight adjustments on implementation in future games.  Believe us when we say we want to make games that siphon as much money and time away from you as possible all the way up to the line in which you’ll accept.  Until that day…

The irony is, Star Trek HAD moved past Kirk, and VERY successfully at that. TNG came into its own after Gene got kicked upstairs and the show was allowed to find its own voice. And while we got a few appropriate continuity nods, (plus one very well-done love-letter episode for the series’ anniversary) DS9 and Voyager…

It’s a great big Universe but the only people who matter are a handful of characters who have recognisable Brand IP, we can’t tell new stories, that’s too risky

I wish the recent iterations of Star Trek and Star Wars shows would find their own voice instead of always linking back Kirk and Luke Skywalker. It’s as if Kirk and Skywalker are the only stories worth telling in their respective universe. 

I'm hoping for a more efficient rune farm gets found.  One can only lure a stupid chicken to its death so many times before you run out of podcasts.  

This entire season feels like a 2-part Next Generation episode... padded out to 13 episodes long.

I am glad that they finally had an episode where they actually sat down and tried to figure stuff out scientifically for a change. When was the last time Star Trek did a good old fashion TOS or TNG style “all the senior…

I think I’ve finally had it with Star Trek: Discovery. This season has convinced me that the showrunners are never quite going to find an entertaining formula and that they’re married to their current recipe, which includes:

- Barely moving the plot along until the finale approaches, and then trying to cram in too much…

So, I get everything else, but why is going to a strip club during lunch a bad thing? Like, are they gone more than the hour or whatever alotted to them? Are they not clocking out and using company time? Are they coming back drunk? If not... it’s their lunch break, they can go where they want.

I feel like Boyega, Ridley and Tran all got blamed for things that were squarely the fault of the people behind the camera. I don’t want to relitigate everything wrong with each movie, but the actors were the *last* people that should’ve bourn the brunt of people’s dissatisfaction¹.

The reaction to the ME3 ending is not the same as what John Boyega had to endure. Racist losers were trolling him and the screenplays for Eps 8 and 9 did him dirty; he went from a super original and interesting Star Wars character — a Stormtrooper awoken by the Force from brainwashing — to a clown running around…
