    ha thats funny. As ultimately, like pretty much every sandbox game, it lacks an endgame or finale.

    oh wow. I had noticed the "trust" achievements, but didn't know what it was referring too. https://www.thegamer.com/dont-even-bother-playing-redfall-single-player/ so theres party banter.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    ha, but you understand this applies to every creative field right? writers, comic artists, illustrators, 2d artist, 3d artist, 3d riggers, concept artists, photography retouching, etc. hell make up artist and the like. why have a make up artist, when you can have an A.I. do it live in real...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Its not really the "monotonous bullshit" jobs. Its the "on the job" training jobs. This is a major deal in creative fields. Art field is hit hard. and we even have some examples from the past to look back at. Comic book inking. Comic books are often done in production line...

    Redfall (Vampires, Open World Co-Op Shooter)

    Another bizarre/bad design choice. 3 weapons at once... except its actually 40 in your backpack. why do I need to pause the game, fish through my backpack to equip other guns, when I run out of ammo for the "main" three? or, staking vamps, who then pop for aoe blood mist damage..

    Redfall (Vampires, Open World Co-Op Shooter)

    there is a fun game buried in this sadly. There is some Forspoken diversity going on here, I think Nirgon is noting. Its not as in your face as Forspoken or saints row, but its still there. US coast guard lady who is so very Puerto Rican. she tells you nonstop. "telekinetic threat with the...

    yeah. Friendly fire is always at thing. Various crpgs tackle it differently. First up was improved evasion. your rogues and high dex chars could just ignore that shit with high reflex saves. you could also plan for it. Freedom of movement, protection from energy, delay poison. make your...

    Roald Dahl's The Witches (2020)

    Watching this now.... why the fuck did they shift it from Norway and England in the 80's, to New orleans USA with a black kid in the 60's? then purposely inject racism?

    Double hit. Indiepop declared bankruptcy. And so did IDW. we were doing work for Indiepops digital comics. and Usagi Yojimbo for Stan and IDW. We have no current DC ongoings. just backups. We are doing some Frank Millar presents stuff. Edit: Stan Sakai, and Usagi did move to Darkhorse...

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    Looks pretty fake. Triton getting around is pretty lulz. Also, something about that is so icky. the, is it clothing, is it skin? aspect. furries/scalies... man I don't get that shit at all. its very offputting. 100% something that only works as a cartoon.

    Star Trek: Picard

    transporters screwing up and killing you, or merging you with another person etc is canon. yes lots of insanity and scary potential side effects there. like Replicators, hard light holograms, psychics, etc, which star trek never really explores. hell even Jordie cybernetics. Canonically...

    Shadow and Bone

    I liked s2 quite a bit again. Definitely have some nit picks. But I don't hold them against the show too much. realities of TV, and YA fiction. Production design is still great. I think motivations and logical constancy is a bit weaker this season. Everyone has magic powers! but other...

    ha, I thought it was obvious from the clip. they could have deep faked it easily though. I suspect they decided it would be disrespectful to do that though.

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

    The Magicians was literally a time loop to justify not matching the books. doing that for HP would be a terrible idea and kindof ironic. Redoing the books AGAIN seems like an odd choice. I had actually thought they meant there were going to do a new story, like game. They DID redo His...

    The Netflix Thread

    Calling it a gimmick based show is un-valueing it. it was very well made. very striking visuals, and great characters, and storytelling. One of the best shows ever, is also a stretch in the other direction of course. That tweet is definitely kindof lulz. the premise comes off as is Squid...

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    these are so good point. but FFS NINTENDO can't get Metroid games to shut the fuck up. if they don't understand Metroid, no way a movie wouldn't be a giant mess. As much as it sounds like a cool idea. The reality is, no movie would capture Metroid: Prime, better then Metroid: Prime itself.

    Blue Beetle (2023)

    Overall seems super generic. however, casting seems perfect. And, Jaime's family seems perfect as well. Jaime/Blue beetle is definitely one of the few legacy reboots with diverse characters people genuinely like.

    Finished up Pillars 2. pacing is definitely poor at the end. Kindof had to force myself to finish. Like, met Eothas at maw. and.. had the world cleared, so basically just went ot meat him at the final immediately. I had hit level 20 much, much earlier as well. so any character progression...
