    The pedophile horse is absolutely epic. People back then really thought that this is an ok thing to do in a kids tv show.

    Doesn't seem to be that big of an update. I'll wait until the DLC is out before I'll jump back into it.

    Wednesday is out now. Watched the first episode yesterday. Not sure yet what to think. It does kinda go into the direction that I expected, but I'm not yet fully repulsed. Guess I will watch one or so more episodes and reevaluate.

    Seems like russian terror does have an effect tho: https://thenewsglory.com/residents-of-odessa-blocked-the-road-in-protest-due-to-blackouts/

    I actually did start watching this now. At first I was like bleh, but after the 3rd episode and waiting a day it kinda opened up for me. Now later episodes are actually kinda interesting enough to carry the show on its own. Though I still kinda want to slap the main character guy even though he does have some valid points at time

    Complaining about the size / scope of Outer Worlds is a bit meh to me, since it was never advertised as a huge open world AAAAAA game. They always said it is a lower budget title, and thus ofc you can't have those huge worlds with crapton of NPCs and stuff. My issue with the game was a different one -- it felt very formulaic. For almost every quest I already kind of knew what to expect and which paths I could pick to get through them. Also the game world consistently had those loot crates every few steps, which didn't felt organic at all. About Pentiment, I wanted to be with the autopsy, but thought I had enough time to talk with some other people. So I did that first.. and then suddenly the ingame time skipped to night time. Since there isn't really any savesystem except for that checkpoint thing, I either have to restart or just go along with it. Probably will do the later now, since that seems to be the expected way to play the game, but still sad.

    Biggest issue is lack of the same modding capabilities that Bethsoft games offer. IMO no "Skyrim-killer" will ever be that without the ease of making mods for it.

    As we were able to see with the price crash, he wasn't wrong at all about NFTs. : >

    I can't stop seeing Death Stranding in that games cover.

    I started watching it and stopped at 0:36 in the video. Not sure if the video can get any dumber, and I don't really want to find out.

    On the other hand, you are missing out on the actual plot twist. Still think it was a good movie. But pretty much same thing as the manic pixie dream girl trope. /Edit: Actually this IS the manic pixie dream girl trope, heh.
  12. Lexx
    Yeah, that's pretty much the movie. She is bending over backwards for a person who doesn't give a single **** about her (at first). It's ... just weird. There's so many other people who would have gladly offered every minute of their lives I guess. Case in point: Her other girl friend who is saying exactly that at the end of the movie. Her Lie In April did a much better job at this, since here the male main character at least had reasons that didn't scream incel at every moment.

    Agreed. When I heard about the new VO for W2 I was like WTF... Of all the things in the game, THIS is what you decide to spend more money on? What a waste. Same thing with Obsidian and Deadfire... There was no reason to voice every single line of dialog. Just doing the most important characters, or just the first or second line they speak would have been totally fine.

    Yeah I'm not sure what to think of those anime. On the one hand I like to get hit into the feels, but on the other hand those stories always feel kinda... sexist to me. I dunno. The stories often cater to a very niche kind of people and it's just cringe. Would love to see something a little more nuanced. That said, I still liked the writing and the story of this one. It's just the main character that is so ugh. His whole shtick of what he said and why he is how he is just made me want to slap him in the face.

    Luckily defunding the police is not about black people but the police in general, so it doesn't really matter.

    Watched I Want To Eat Your Pancreas yesterday. Sad movie. Wasn't bad, however, I kinda couldn't get over how it's one of those anime where a funny, great looking, very charismatic girl is building up the boy nobody wants to talk to. It's kinda... cringe. Still sad movie, though.

    "Defunding the police" in case of America means to reassign funds to different branches, such as social services, which is much more helpful in half the cases. Besides, America's Police forces don't need more money. They already have tanks and military gear, what's next, cruise missiles? If at least the money was spend on better training, but clearly it is not. I guess the slogan "defund the police" was badly chosen, since stupid people don't get it (or are getting intentionally misguided, I dunno). That said, if I remember right, the statistics say that pizza delivery is a much more dangerous job than being a policeman, but nobody wants to give them more money. #PizzaDeliveryGuyLivesMatter. /Edit: While we're at it, some funny meme.

    IMO this is just not sustainable. First, because the Kickstarter-hype is pretty much dead, and second because you need to deliver "hits" that sell well in order to stay afloat. Also I'm almost sure they burned too much money on stuff like voice over (even added more with later patches to W2 instead of updating things that would be more worth it... like more content in the 2nd half of the game). tl;dr - I think the only way to have a small, sustainable indie-studio is to either have a mega hit that keeps giving you a crapton of money, or you have a *really* small team of only a hand full of people max. Neither inXile nor Obsidian have that.

    Started playing some Pentiment. So far I like it, but one thing that was bugging me already is that even in the beginning I was kinda backtracking 3 times. Hope I won't have to run over the whole map all the time later in the game.

    I'm wondering about that for a while already - how come that every single one of those videos has absolutely terrible music playing over the footage? Is this like a requirement for them? It needs to have the most obnoxious water mark you can make + the worst music you can find?
  21. Lexx
    Great, so based on this guys words, the russian civilians who bought drones for the army are the reason we are still here today.
  22. Lexx
    You usually have a public announcement for that, a few days to prepare, and then a set amount of time to vote at a specific time.
  23. Lexx
    How is that democracy? I didn't vote, didn't even know I was able to vote for that. How long was the voting period? This is nothing but a sham. /edit: Looks like 1 day, without announcement unless you follow his sorry ass on Twitter, which I am not doing. And now we're about to see every single one of Trumps stupid tweets on the news again. Some people say Musk closed the poll when the No-votes became too big, but dunno if that really happened. Also just saw a comment which I agree with: "You’re missing the funniest part though…remember how he was obsessed with Twitter’s bot problem? And now that he’s in charge, suddenly and after no changes, the bot problem is gone and he’s bragging about user numbers" /edit2: Looks like Trump doesn't even want to come back, lel. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/trump-cites-twitter-problems-says-he-ll-stick-to-own-platform-1.1848811

    Well, that one guy f-ed up and killed all his fellow soldiers. The surrendering russians weren't yet searched and secured by the ukraine soldiers, and when that one guy started shooting, everyone opened up because that's what you do. This isn't police in a normal city, but soldiers in a war zone. It sucks that it happened, but it's not the same as what we usually consider executing prisoners of war. /Edit: To add to that, the guys on the ground could have pulled out a grenade or pistol and caused more ukraine casualties. The situation would be very different if they were already searched and secured before this happened.

    If you don't like emotions, this anime is not for you.
