@collegenbob@JoshStrifeHayes Totally fair, on both points. I did get sucked into WoW because of how exploitative it can be, but developed cubital tunnel because of it, and so had to stop.
I don't miss it though. Nowadays, I prefer games that I can play offline whenever I want with no FOMO elements.
@Pirat_Nation Like... people make jokes like that all the time. Verbally as well as in chat. There's no reason private chats should be spied on like that and then reported immediately due to some offhand comments.
This is dystopian stuff and it needs to be acted upon before it gets worse.
@Pirat_Nation Yeah, Lae'zel was a character who was rough around the edges, but it all clicked for me when I realized that she was born and raised in a cult, and her personal story was the difficult process of her breaking out of it and de-programming herself.
If you decide to help with that.
@16bitnostalgia I loved this game as a kid. It was such a good concept, playing the monster for once, instead of the heroes stopping it.
I also liked the Arcade followup, with the funny scientist woman.
@marvel_updat3s@DEADLINE Would like to see Shang-Chi 2 as well, but if he's too busy with Spiderman, and Marvel doesn't want to risk going with another director, I totally understand.
@cosmicbooknews Honestly, I think people forget that it wasn't just James Gunn that made his Marvel movies good. There was Kevin Feige supervising and the rest of the staff in production helping too.
It was a team effort, and DC only hired one guy out of the whole team.
@VIZMedia I read it. It was okay. At least it didn't take a long time to get through or have bad pacing / art like some one-shots.
I've read some really good one-shots on Vizmanga, but even more mediocre to bad ones.
@Pirat_Nation This is a surprisingly good move. That short for 40k in Secret Level was great, one of the best shorts in that series, and a good depiction of "lore marines" and why they're so potentially deadly, even against numerically superior forces.
@Pirat_Nation Not shocking, everything about this movie from the cronyism to the bad casting and writing made it an obvious failure from early on.
I feel bad for the actress who was miscast and also given a bad character to play.

@Pirat_Nation Given the mistakes Sony's been making as of late, all they have to do is pull an uno reverse on them the way Sony did to Microsoft back in the PS4 / Xbone days.
Just treat the customer right and make a better product, and maybe emphasize that they're doing it with memes.
@Pirat_Nation I kind of get what they're saying, but what they should really be mad about is manufactured artificial scarcity.
It's not like the makers couldn't just make more, and as many as they want to, it's just that consumers fall for their marketing BS.
please share. anyone who lives in Texas. Don't vote for Ken Paxton. I beg you. He's only gonna make this issue worse. he wants age verification for the internet. He does not care for you 1A right
@Pirat_Nation Agree. Consent is important. People should have right to their own likeness.
Even those pro-AI should realize that if corporations and government don't respect peoples' rights to their own likenesses, that it may quickly escalate to deepfakes of you being everywhere, legally.
@Dreamboum You took the words right out of my mouth. You can combine eroticism with class, and it can be a very bold fashion statement.
I also loved 2 through 4 the most, and thought that they struck the right balance. It's 5 and especially 6 that lost me.
@Radio_New_Vegaz@Pirat_Nation Because competition keeps companies honest. If Xbox is concerned about losing marketshare to Playstation, they may behave better just to gain marketshare.
It's similar to how PS4 beat Xbone, and Xbox 360 beat PS3. One side got arrogant, and the other dunked on them for it.
@Radio_New_Vegaz@Pirat_Nation Either they'll put in a battle pass / fomo later, or they'll realize how badly Playstation is beating them and keep being "the good guy" until they come back from the brink of console death.
