@_REDJOSH I understand that but we have zero backup in terms of attackers, surely bringing nyoni on or something would make sense

@CalvesLikeShaq You ‘risk injuries’ every time you play a game. Can’t wrap players in bubble wrap. They’re here to play. They should play.

No disrespect to Barnsley because they are a league one side? Why risk players who have had injury issues

@mellyswellyy @bartonovopolis The cut is alarming, not the idea of her committing suicide. It’s like Kubrick intentionally breaking the 180 rule in The Shining to make the viewer feel uncomfortable. There are examples to support what OP is saying about Nolan but that sequence certainly isn’t it

@_REDJOSH @bartonovopolis Idk I wouldn’t say it’s subconsciously alarming when we see a scene with a character we know killed herself, looks likes and is in a situation where she’s about to kill herself then does in fact kill herself

@yvessirae Women are desperate for the cookie-cutter Good Man™. There will be no compromise. There will be no betterment. They will not help you do anything. They are here to take and not to give. You will be as they want, when they want it, and nothing less, or you will be alone.

@aquamoonbb God this is just so baselessly and flagrantly incorrect that it’s funny, and I’m glad you’re getting called out for making such a false claim in your replies

men’s hate for fiction is directly correlated to them being devoid of empathy. like of course you don’t care about stories about other people… you only care about yourself.

@AshenOne I might pick it up for 9.99 or even 14.99. The main protag is problematic and that is the price of compromise. I’m patient and have a large backlog so I’m okay waiting a year or two.

My Spoiler‑Free Review of Star Wars Outlaws I spent around 30 hours with Star Wars Outlaws, completed the main story, and played a good amount of side content. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed my time with it, even though the game clearly has both high points and noticeable shortcomings. The visuals are one of the strongest aspects of the game. Cities, lighting, character models, and ray tracing all look impressive, and the game genuinely feels like a true current‑gen release. I played on PC with an RTX 5080 and an AMD 9800X3D, and most locations ran smoothly. A few areas were demanding enough that I had to lower some settings to keep the framerate consistent, but the overall optimization felt solid. The planets feel alive thanks to the populated hubs and the amount of environmental detail. You can tell the developers put real effort into making each world feel lived in. The seamless transitions between planets add a lot to the immersion. The worlds look great, even if they aren’t packed with activities, and the planetary travel works well for a story‑driven open‑world game. Even though I have not watched the Star Wars movies, the game still delivered the Star Wars atmosphere convincingly. One downside for me was the absence of lightsabers, which felt like a missed opportunity. Nix, your companion, is genuinely helpful and makes stealth much more manageable. I’m not a major fan of stealth games, and that was one of the reasons I didn’t buy Outlaws at launch when I saw in reviews that the game had a strong focus on stealth. On normal difficulty, the game is flexible enough to let you mix your approach, but you still need to take a few enemies out quietly first if you don’t want to make things harder for yourself. The stealth system itself is simple, maybe too simple for a game that relies on it as much as this one does. I am judging this based on normal difficulty, so harder modes might offer a different experience. Gunplay is satisfying, even if it is not particularly unique. The story left me with mixed feelings. Most characters were not very memorable, and while the mission structure is fine and the pacing works well enough, it never becomes anything special. That said, I enjoyed the balance between stealth, combat, and exploration, and traveling around the planets with the speeder was genuinely fun. The space missions and dogfights were a welcome change of pace. I just wish there had been more mission variety and that Ubisoft had taken a few more creative risks. Combat overall is enjoyable, although the limited weapon variety holds it back and makes encounters feel repetitive over time. One thing I did appreciate was the syndicate system. It isn’t very deep, but it adds some personality to the world and makes the different syndicates feel more distinct. It’s simple, but it fits the game well. Lockpicking and hacking were surprisingly enjoyable. They were challenging enough to feel engaging without becoming frustrating or time consuming. Considering how often you encounter these mechanics, Ubisoft did a good job keeping them fun instead of turning them into chores. The game is in a good technical state on PC. I cannot speak for the console versions, but I only encountered one minor visual bug during my entire playthrough. The only thing that felt off at times was Kay’s facial animations in certain scenes, which could use more polish. Overall, I had a very good time with Star Wars Outlaws. It is not a masterpiece, but it is an enjoyable experience despite its flaws. I can comfortably recommend picking it up on sale or playing it through a subscription. I also hope we eventually get a sequel or another Star Wars project from Ubisoft, because Outlaws offers a good base to work from, and a sequel could expand on it nicely.

The Hobbit trilogy. The story had such a solid foundation but aside from the first film, it completely fell apart in the second and third. Unnecessary additions, excessive CGI, and dragged out scenes turned what should’ve been a simple and beautiful adventure into something messy
cinesthetic.@TheCinesthetic

In your opinion, what film had the most promising premise for a story only to be completely squandered and fall flat on delivery?

@jegaevi Doesn’t mean you can read them. Not being a thing you can read doesn’t make it any less valuable. Both can be true.

@SheevTalks There’s 3 seasons of Visions where each episode uses a different animation style. Rebels and CW use different styles. Resistance is completely different. How many more animations styles do you want? This style is great.

@emhoneyreads They just don’t count as reading though. That doesn’t make it a less valid form of consuming the media, but by definition it just isn’t reading. Don’t know why there’s an insistence in calling it reading.

Oblivion Remastered was the greatest shadow drop in gaming history. It added so many awesome details like being able to see Skyrim across the northern border and it kept all of the charm of the original’s NPCs while touching up things like combat Just a fantastic release!

@johnthenoticer There’s no evidence in Tolkien’s writing that the races of ME were mono-racial and white. He explicitly disliked allegory and modern political readings of his work, hence his world’s races are Dwarves and Elves etc. There’s EXPLICIT textual evidence of VARIATION amongst races.

All the dogmatism and stupidity of today’s left are on full display in their insistence on casting African actors in films set in Middle-earth. The core problem is that they don’t even bother to integrate them in a coherent way. Inventing a new, distinct people within Middle-earth with African genetics would be debatable, but at least there would be a minimum of internal logic: one could imagine them as the result of differentiated evolution, of a specific population in a specific place. In The Rings of Power, that is not what they do at all. Instead, they cast Black or mixed-race actors as Hobbits, Elves, and Dwarves who are supposed to be white, forcing the audience to accept that the peoples of Middle-earth are multiracial, with no logic or coherence whatsoever.

It’s honestly a miracle that The Lord of the Rings trilogy came out before wokeness took over Hollywood. We quite literally dodged African Elves and Hobbits.
