Why are you guys so addicted to Star Wars. How bad does it have to get before you move on

I had avoided the vast majority of Star Wars since Episode 3 until I picked up Jedi: Fallen Order on sale, and while it's a fine-ish Sekiro clone (the reason I got it to begin with)... it'd be a much better game if it wasn't tied down by Star Wars. The exploration is fine, the combat is at its best when you're fighting someone one-on-one, but since a Stormtrooper can't give you any trouble on their own, their solution to that usually was to throw a bunch of enemies at you at once that the combat system isn't good at dealing with, which got annoying real quick. Story was meh (although I did appreciate that when Darth Vader shows up at the end of the game, there's absolutely nothing you can do to him no matter how good at the game you are), but again, that's part of the game that could be better if it wasn't Star Wars. Also, the game didn't run well on my PS4 at all, which was a little frustrating.

I'll be curious to see what they do with Jedi: Survivor, although I won't pick it up anytime soon

I thought the second episode was way better than the first. Some good trigun energy. Also agree that it still seems weird for Roberto to exist.

Yeah, agreed on the second episode. And while my memories of the OG Trigun are a little vague (like I've said before, I never got that into it), I think with Roberto, they wanted to put Meryl in the junior role while giving her a foil to bounce off of, which... okay, but wasn't having a junior the point of Milly? Plus, isn't Vash Meryl's natural foil? So far it just seems like Roberto was an answer to an unnecessary problem

I finished up Yakuza 0 a couple of weeks ago ( I was in the endgame for a while, but went through a period where I was just playing koi-koi for weeks), and moved on to Kiwami 2, and I'm already almost finished with that. Turns out when you don't have to grind Mr. Shakedown and mini-games for money to level up, Yakuza moves pretty fast!

The likelihood that Mervel movies are stand-alone are near-zero. The creative one-offs will be on Disney+, as evidenced by Werewolf by Night.

Also comic books have the luxury of the ability to change main characters, so when an actor is no longer under contract they can always go "the new god of thunder is a horse-headed alien!"

The cowards would never make a Beta Ray Bill movie.

I admitted a patient last night for a broken ankle. They did surgery this morning. At some point she got a psych consult which didn’t come up with anything.

Thirty minutes after rounding on her apparently she decided she wasn’t getting enough attention from the nursing staff. She walked to her door naked, pulled out her IVs so blood was all over the floor, started urinating, and began hurling obscenities to the entire nursing staff.

When I told my surgeon who fixed her ankle he said “well clearly my internal fixation is holding up.”

And the night just gotten worse from there.

Like, the only thing I could somewhat sympathize with was the guy who took whose date wouldn't/couldn't eat anything on the menu, if only because not being on the same page for food is an easy dealbreaker for dating someone. But there's a huge leap to go from "woman has dietary restrictions" to "feminism has ruined this woman"
