@andorlorians If i had a nickle for every time a filoni character got their hands on the dark saber after winning it in combat, proceeded to not really do anything with it, and then hand it over peacefully to Bo-Katan...

@pinkmilkshorty Maybe you should've clarified that your tweet was specifically in response to a single YouTube video that you didn't even bother including in said tweet

@pinkmilkshorty Nobody's complaining that you can't slide with the Evanuris in VG so if that's what you're arguing against you're arguing against shadows. People are complaining that the ability to play a character with even the smallest amount of edge has been completely removed

@pinkmilkshorty What? Mo said we can't be evil in the earlier games "period" and the overall complaint about not being able to be evil in VG is not solely focused on the ending. What are you even talking about?

@reddrakonmo @pinkmilkshorty Sure, you're not given the option to side with the big bad, but earlier games give you the option to play a character who is unmistakably evil in a "ends justify the means" kind of way that VG simply doesn't.

@reddrakonmo @pinkmilkshorty Allowing a desire demon to take possession of a young boy's body isn't evil? Selling one of your companions to a tevinter slaver isn't evil? Are you aware what game series you're talking about?

If they had told people to play something like CoD, I would understand the accusation that they were being unnecessarily sassy to people asking questions, but that was obviously a good faith suggestion

Saying that the Subnautica devs were being "hostile" to fans wanting combat by suggesting they play Sons of the Forest instead is ridiculous because that was clearly an honest suggestion for an alternative survival/basebuilding game that actually has combat in it.

@denimneverdies Reality is often disappointing. We didn't find out how to create artificial life, we just created algorithms that are just smart enough to convince morons they're alive

"AI" really killed my love for the whole "robots as oppressed people" trope. Now I see Astroboy villains talking like "a robot can't understand art!" and I'm like he's right though

@culture_coffin you have a limited amount of time on earth and if you devote a certain number of your nights to watching movies then yeah you might be better off skipping the blockbuster du jour and watching a better movie. or making a nice dinner for yourself. idk man i think it depends.

@TheKevinFiles @arakkosuperstar It's a fine thing to have if you're already invested in middle earth as a setting and want to learn more for its own sake, but i think most people who have read it will agree when i say it's not a page-turner.

@TheKevinFiles @arakkosuperstar Thing is, most of Tolkien's "worldbuilding" wasn't in lotr, it was in the silmarillion, a book released after his death when his son compiled together a bunch of disparate notes and journals, most of which Tolkien didn't see as worth including in any of his published books.

leo of arakko says 🔺RESIST🔺
i’ve read books that clearly has a lot of worldbuilding done but with no actual means of channeling it. the main plot would be compelling but the surrounding world kept invading. things happened just to build out the world but had no actual narrative purpose and felt hollow
ed edd and eddington@goblin_formula

conflating worldbuilding with actually writing a story or with a story being good is the most common cause for why so much fantasy writing is mediocre

@JosAnto49947308 @bornposting How dare people judge something based solely on the material the creators specifically chose to advertise the show.

@bornposting People are so desperate to criticize everything based on just a couple of teasers, when it's clear the show will have more comic book and cosmic elements. It's quite hypocritical that you are now loving Ryan Reynolds' version just to hate everything from the DCU.

@Husvero Fromsoft clearly wanted PCR to be something special and it's a shame that, imo, it's one of the worst designed bosses in the game.

Now that’s I’ve beat him, I’m curious to know. What do people love or hate about PCR? And where would he rank among ER bosses It’s not a perfect fight by any means, but I thought there’s more good than bad to it. So I’m especially curious about people who flat out dislike it.

@itsNemi_ DS2 is my favorite too which is why i think no amount of glazing could possible be "going too far" after over a decade of being treated as a punching bag by the wider community

Got Bloodborne set up. Haven't touched it in years. What trick weapon should I build around? I feel like I don't even remember any of the fun ones.

If you walked into a room irl and saw two people talking about a movie they both just saw, and you immediately got upset at them and told them to stop talking about it, they would rightfully look at you like you were insane

If they're excited to talk about something they've seen, they will. It's your responsibility to avoid those conversations, it's not their responsibility to speak in code because some rando might see their conversation and get "spoiled"

"Spoiling" used to refer to intentionally giving info about a movie to someone who wanted to see it, especially twists, in order to sour their experience. It is an inherently malicious act. Now the term is used to refer to any discussion about recent films/shows.
