This show is so retarded sometimes. "This whole van used to be full of cans of peaches. Here, take this rock I used to open the cans of peaches!" Why? Who the fuck knows! The van is empty of cans, and he could literally just go grab a fucking can opener from across the street. I felt like it...

Season 3 should focus on the actual oil and gas industry. Sadly, from the sounds of it, this is what Sheridan shows do, which is just focus on retarded drama shit with women acting ridiculous. Probably why I never got into shows like Yellowstone.

You see stuff like that and the conspiritard in me says it's an awfully big coincidence that this movie lined up with the government release of UFO files, where they also convinced a bunch of people to repeat essentially that same line about how this would make people question God. Almost like...

I get your point. But does anyone care right now? You can chalk it up to bad writing (and whatever other bad production is going into them), but I think people are fatigued of all of these franchises. They've been bleeding them dry.

They should probably just stop making DC movies for a while. Like the RLM review of Grogu, they need to shelve Star Wars for a good 20 years. No more Batman and Superman remakes. Just stop. The audience needs to breathe without you just shoveling more dog shit into the theaters.

I don't know how those work, but if you read the actual audience reviews on RT it's getting torn to shreds. Then again, I feel like all that shit has been fake for a while now. IMDB for sure was astroturfed with fake reviews years ago, but since they locked their shit behind accounts I don't see...

That might be enough for me to try this out. I did have to laugh at bandits. Feels like that was a feature "coming soon" a decade ago. If you can also disable that retarded biome badge shit they added, that'd be nice too. I haven't played since before whatever introduced that.

The only flaw in your plan is 70% replacement rate for Social Security relies on the intake of current FICA taxes. If AI displaces that much of the workforce, suddenly they're not collecting FICA anymore and that 70% drops to almost nothing, if not zero.

That's why these threads go like this though. We can see the nugget that if they'd do it right, would be successful. We want these games to succeed. And every time they fuck it up. I don't shit all over MnM because I'm just an asshole and want it to fail. It's because they could've had a game...

I think his issue is they're basically triple dipping? You're paying a box price and subscription, and yet that's still not enough for you to have all the content, so they're doing micro transactions on top of it all. Even for a brand new AAA game that seems like a stretch, but for this? C'mon...

Dunno man, Spielberg seems like one of those (all of them?) who people assume makes good movies, but then you realize no, he was a product of a time period and after that time period he either got in his own head, or it just didn't work anymore. Has he made a truly great movie in the last two...

You asked for it. I'm just here to provide a little joy to your day.

It's funny to me that they're relying on "this is still closed beta," when they were supposed to be in early access already. But worse, they're like 3 months out from their new early access date, where they will be charging people to play the game. So I think criticism of anything is fair game...

On a superficial level I'd agree with you, but graphics don't even remotely correlate with "fun." I've got more hours in Terraria than any other game. In fact, the games I typically find the most fun resorted to more basic graphics almost across the board. Basically any AAA game nowadays...

Ah shit, I completely forgot about that. Because it seemed like a throw away scene from the previous episode. Thanks for that!

I mean, I agree the gameplay is definitely fun. It's the big difference between the two games to me. MnM I feel like the game is actively fighting me, adding tedium wherever possible. Any fun I have is basically in spite of the game, not because of it. AoA is fun because they removed all the...

MnM graphics do indeed suck, but I think the one thing that will keep people away from this is the graphics. You either like it or you don't. And if you don't, you're not even going to touch this.

She went to the lighthouse and escaped back to the real world. Found Victor's dad, something happened with him (heart attack?), and an ambulance came and got them both. Ambulance got sucked into From world with super annoying blonde cop girl. Which is why whatever that was supposed to be (with...

I mean...no shit? Pretty sure many of us predicted that. It's amazing how things that are super obvious somehow elude these massive corporations.

Best part of the entire season was Henry (I think? Victor's dad) and his whatever the fuck that was. Whether real or imagined. Most interesting thing so far. And it was like 8 seconds.

The ironic part is the types that are the target audience for this will absolutely pay the monthly sub to beta test for them. They may as well just release it and say fuck it at this point and balance everything as they go. Holding out for some hypothetical audience that will be scared away by...

I'm watching the RLM review of it now, and it kind of hit me that really He-Man is a property for people 50+ at this point. I vaguely remember He-Man, but I don't know that I was ever really into it. I'm just not quite old enough. If you were the target demographic for this in 1983-84, you were...

The show obviously has an enormous budget just from the set pieces and cars and shit. And it's obviously got a cast with above average acting chops. The writing is just so so terrible. I haven't watched the last episode yet, and I kind of just don't want to. You can really tell they had no idea...

I'd play it if it were a $20-30 box price and no subscription. A subscription on an MMO is an automatic no for me. Mostly because it makes it so I don't actually feel like I own the game. If I decide to stop playing for a year and come back, it feels like I'm basically paying the box fee again...

Misc was already a shell of itself for years before it shut down. Now years removed, I doubt most users are coming back.

Are they still sticking to their EA launch in a few months? It seems like they're basically doing a complete redesign at this point. It's starting to give me the same vibes that Ashes of Creation did where you're just like...what the fuck are these people doing?

Seems like we get a minor variation of those people here who just want the most painful possible mechanics. It's not a real MMO unless you have to spend 23 hours a day playing. Which is something I think @Kirun got to in a recent post, where it seems people are confusing difficulty for time...

It's memorable in the worst way. Instead of actively engaging in the game, I'm forced to do a frantic corpse recovery to not lose everything I've got. And in the course of that, the game threw an impediment that's basically insurmountable to waste my time (I should also add I even had a bard...

Down about an entire year's worth of expenses today in net worth. Which I guess is actually a good thing, because it means our withdrawal rate is sub-3%. Definitely annoying, but then again, we're also still up massively this year.

Yeah, but just imagine the epic battle scene with this banger in the background? It's got over a billion views, so that's how you know it's good.

Sounds like the ideal MnM experience they're going for. Reminds me of my story from a year ago where I died because I couldn't outrun a crocodile across the entire length of the zone, and when I went to find my corpse a sandstorm that lasted an hour started. Quit looking out of frustration...

The twinking thing is interesting. Assuming anyone from their team reads this, would making an account flag based on the highest level solve it easier? For instance, an account has a level 40 and 10 character. The account level is 40, meaning you can give an item from any range between 0-40 to...

I mean, even beyond that...they're claiming this game is notable because there are early level dungeons? Mixed tier level zones? Crafting? I don't even understand why they're pointing these things out. They're in literally every fucking MMO. It's like they actually think they're a direct...

Yeah, but how many of those 40% are on gimmiedats that cover 100% of their expenses?

I don't know how anyone can read that and be hopeful about this game.

Watching the Drinker video on Backrooms, and it makes me think it's not that movies or the theater experience is dead post-covid, but rather everyone has just rejected the dog shit Hollywood has been putting out. I think we all like to point out Endgame and covid as the end of an era, but I...

He's a fucking poet, you dunce! Don't you recognize art? You people are all uncultured heathens.

Every time I see anyone talking about BTC price fluctuations, it rips the mask off all the statements they make about it being a revolutionary currency or whatever nonsense they spout (no offense, @Flobee). People are in BTC to make money as a speculative asset. Period. If there wasn't a...

You know what I mean. Yeah, maybe they keep a couple hundred for years and years. But development will slow to a crawl and it'll just be the same people grinding the same bullshit. They're not going to be drawing new players in. Ever. When I say the game will be dead in a year, I mean it'll be...

Not to be that guy, but that's literally this entire thread going back years. The game is leaning into gameplay mechanics that literally every game, including the one they're basing this on, decided were fucking retarded. At this point we just wait to see if all the people claiming they actually...
