George Lucas is an all timer. Other fave Lucas things: "darth icky" - the character Lucas proposed when developers of the Force Unleashed asked if he wanted to contribute the name of a Sith lord to the game "they died" - George Lucas when asked what happened to the Star Wars characters after the events of Return of the Jedi

like, jk rowling has offered to pay for any legal costs incurred by another transphobic piece of poo poo who has outright stated that bullying transpeople into suicide is a good thing that society should do more of and allows actual nazis free reign to speak at her events rowling is awful on an entirely different level than the kotics and guillemots of the world DEEP STATE PLOT fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Nov 22, 2023 |

Yeah, when people speak out about Rowling it isn't just a convenient target, it is that she is extremely all-in on this stuff. It is why people responded so incredibly negatively during the whole release. There isn't really another high profile property like it, like even if Shigeru Miyamoto came out tomorrow and said we should execute the undesirables even he isn't as much of a 'synonymous with' as Rowling.

I bought it when it came out because I don't really follow the news anymore and didn't realize how bad Rowling has gotten. It's a really lovely game on top of all the other stuff. I won't give her money anymore.

I finished the game and found out the TRUTH about Lies of P : it's a bad game  Nah not really, it's pretty great but the last 3rd of the game is a SLOG. They could've easily cut a few levels to keep the momentum. Am I complaining about too much content in a game? Maybe! It just kinda stopped being fun. They even did the thing where "oh you're gonna replay this level, but now it's got worse monsters! mwahahahaw!". Did they need to? I mean it was kinda neat, but I felt the game was losing me around that point. Perhaps I didn't get gud fast enough? I did some shameful grinding for a while to get past a couple bosses. It seemed like the story was wrapping up, but no, the levels kept on coming, and maybe I played too much but they started feeling less interesting and there's only so many times I can be surprised by a monster hiding around a corner. Also I did not enjoy how the story took a big Resident Evilian/Blizzard corruption twist. I don't know what I expected, but the first few levels were really intriguing, and then it drops a mutated wrestler boss, and I'm rolling my eyes somewhat, and it just seems to get worse from then on. It's a fine story for a videogame I suppose, but the initial worldbuilding seemed to promise something cooler or more complex. I also never found out who the gently caress Monad was, and why I have her lamp, or if it matters, I guess I missed that. Now, to be clear: It's absolutely a game worth trying. I did finish it for a reason. It was really, really great (at first). So I suppose it hooked me enough to make me want to see the end. And I will absolutely look forward to the sequel. So if you have GameAss and even a passing interest in Soulslikes, absolutely install it and give it a go. I loved it at first, how it took Edgy Pinocchio so seriously, at least for a while. Anyway 4/5 Comfys and a pack of Energizer batteries for good ol' Peenocchio

That movie looks awful. I just saw the trailer last week and I was like, yeah no not at all. Dear Hollywood, if the plot of your new project is taking an old idea and explaining why some mysterious character is odd, good, bad, etc just flush the project. Interesting characters don’t need explanation and the best of them defy it. That being said, if they had a single golden ticket Xbox that would get you gamepass for life it might move a few boxes.

Is anyone else having some trouble with the Bing Rewards daily searches on mobile? I use to be able to tap through 15 marvel movies in half a minute and get 60 rewards points. But 2-3 days ago these hardly register anymore, unless I pause for ~10 seconds between "searches".

That's what you get for trying to game the game. I don't do the Bing mobile searches anymore as they never really registered very well for me, and it's just annoying busy work anyway. Also I have wealth beyond measure.

priznat posted:They cut out all the gratuitous butt shots in mass effect 2 remake I heard so they are now DEAD TO ME Definitely not all of them. Also the Legendary Edition is a really good release, not least because it finally includes all the story DLC at a reasonable package price (or free with EA Play/GP Ultimate). Bioware's DLC policy used to be insanely bad (and especially clunky on PC), which was like the biggest problem about the whole trilogy. Zat fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Nov 22, 2023 |
