This is pretty much my assessment as well. My niece had to explain a bunch of references to me. I thought it was gorgeous visually and really captured a live action video game world. It was probably the perfect setting for AI CGI since there's no uncanny valley for minecraft creatures. I just...

I think wind farm was the only zip line where I had to tweak the route a couple times. Keeping the lines in range while staying out of the farm no-build zone and the BT trigger zones took a couple iterations. IIRC it's really the only non-snow area you can't drive to so zip lines are a must up...

After rewatching the 1923 epilogue I'm fairly certain '44 will involve some conflict with the half brother from the widow. It's such an irrelevant thing for Elsa to mention that it has to serve as backstory for a new bastard half-Dutton. Add in Jack's child's claim as the eldest son of the...

Just reskin GTA:SA and call CJ an assassin and Tenpenny a templar. Easy peasy racially accurate black setting.

You assume my IT guys don't already know the fix and took a small hands off day.

I appear to be in the worst boat. Fucked by crowdstrike, can't safemode due to bitlocker, can't self lookup bitlocker key due to company policies, IT not taking calls until they know what to do. Guess I get a free Friday off.

Saw this last night. It was entertaining but like reviewers and others have said the story is probably better suited to a 10 part mini-series. By the end part 1 you can see how 4-5 separate stories might come together but for all of part 1 it's 4-5 separate stories. They're good stories and well...

Not as good as the conversion methods but normal Ultimate cards are on sale at Target. https://www.ign.com/articles/best-xbox-game-pass-deal-2024-target-ultimate-new

Well, it's free right now as part of the show's promotion so no risk. I'm not that deep into it but it does feel like it's a bit light on lore perhaps due to the MMO side of it, but could just as well be because my appetite for reading everything at a computer terminal isn't what it used to be...

Much more likely to have degeneracy like The Boys than the MCU if superpowers were real. But it's a no brainer. Any even remotely useful superpower would allow you to get/take Sweeny tier at will.

While I agree, I think they have a vision of the story they want to tell and are using major orders to tell it I think players might feel better if major orders were separated from the ongoing war map. Instead of saying "liberate these 5 planets in 3 days" have it be something like "kill 100...

This is the only significant pug issue I run into at medium difficulties. Use too many reinforcements, but that's not that big an issue in and of itself. But then people insist on closing every bug hole, die far away with no reinforcements left and lose out on some samples. Nothing game breaking...

I haven't messed with the Democracy Protects armor yet to comment on that passive but as it is, armor would have to provide a pretty noticeable benefit for me to change off scout. That waypoint radar is too useful for my playstyle.

If the rumored addition of mechs and tanks and whatnot are true I'm curious if that will only be for specific missions or if they add difficulty tiers or something. Assuming that mech guns are stronger than shotguns and assault rifles it might trivialize things.
