    Violence started to take a back seat in the early 2000s as studios worked to get as close to R as possible without actually getting there. You certainly didn't make a film that was just barely R. The traditional "has some blood has some boobs" R rating mostly died. As an example I will use The...

    After those two probably but even before they went ham with it the skill was perfectly fine for starting out. Minions are just good.

    Event Horizon (1997)

    Event Horizon is what happens when a ship tries to travel through The Warp without the benefit of the God Emperor of Mankind's astral beacon and without a psyker. It is not recommended. I like the movie but it's so obviously The Warp I find it a little distracting. If we're recommending...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Oh, right. They did hand out a lot of suspensions including a few an hour before an expansion launch for repeat offenders. That was new, waiting until Velious was an hour away to start tossing people for a week or two.

    If someone needs more Evil Superman in their life there's always the Irredeemable comic. https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Irredeemable/Issue-1?id=9371 They're not bad at all. There's also a spinoff (Incorruptible) where a redeemed villain and his sidekick try and be not monsters. It's ok.

    I don't have any idea what's on the table but they could both scale back the sugar while adding features in a PoE league style manner where there is a new twist but not stacked on top of every single other previous twist.

    I think it could have been an excellent ten or so episode limited series on a Netflix or Amazon. It was already telling a series of small, interconnected stories. Spend a little time in Tibet, spend a little time with the ex-cop looking for the missing girl, spend a little time with the cultist...

    I don't know how it went in the show but in the comics when we start to get more of Negan's backstory the reason he became a monster is because people were too fucking stupid to stay alive on their own and he couldn't stand to see it any longer. He even gets a "walks off in to the sunset" ending...

    The opposite actually. Fear prevented people from doing what needed to be done at the start. See also Night of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead (original) and World War Z (the book). Unrelated -

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    That's more the case. They look at their lives and resent those more successful than they are. This is especially pronounced in the pseudo-bourgeoisie intellectual class we have in places like higher education. How can the system be said to be anything but a disaster if someone such as I am not...

    It's probably have a little story about coal mining and then half explaining why socialists claim to support the working class but really just hate rich people. Which is true. They don't love the poor they hate the wealthy.

    Villains are constantly old player characters. The only way to stop them is to stop playing rather than making new characters to kill them.

    Battlegrounds could be interesting. I also think that a WoW style arena could be neat as a gimmick. Queue up 3v3 or 6v6 and then have a ladder and some rewards.

    I'm willing to give Phreak's nerding math the benefit of the doubt. He says the damage on it got nerfed really really hard. I don't have the time code, I was listening to this while doing other things.

    He makes it through to the first act and then dies. I think he's the first one the monster kills but it takes maybe 20 minutes to get there.

    What you end up doing is sticking a bunch of toons FD in places with a drink bird going that does something like say Jimble Jamble %t is up in a password locked private chat channel and an audio trigger set to play something very loud when the proper condition is met.

    I finished it up this morning and I'd say I liked it? I see what Jay meant when he said it goes on too long. The last act or so lacks the polish and focus that was present in the rest of the film. The dialogue/reveal isn't quite there, there's changes in the quality of the camera where it...

    I don't think its impossible that we would see some gimmick like Discord again where you get a couple months of an event server but I can't imagine they would ever do an actual PvP TLP.

    My total hours on P99 are really low but for the time I played it whenever I'd try to implement one of my old strats it just didn't function. "Oh hey, this should be good" and finding out <thing> didn't work or was wildly different was such a buzzkill.
