It will be curious to see if they try to push KD out for Game 5. Honestly I'm not sure it matters, since almost no one on the team is healthy enough to play full minutes. Toronto has looked good though, it will be interesting to see if Leonard stays with them for the future.

That is starting to sound pretty subjective, though. I mean, it would be hard to argue that any of the 10 Star Wars films aren't competently made and well-crafted. They check all the quality control boxes at least. None of them are B-movies or direct-to-video fare. They all have a beginning, middle, and end. They all have competent acting and look good. By every definition, they are watchable films. Also, it's weird but I think the most competent, serious, cinematic movie in the set is Rogue One. I mean, it feels like a legitimate war film. It has fantastic acting and is very tight in terms of story. But it is the only one I don't like to re-watch because it is so serious. It's Saving Private Ryan in space. I know it is great and I'm totally invested in it as a viewer, but it is a lot to commit to.

Are you paying for a subscription? That seems pretty strange.

I would say the vast majority of Star Wars fans do not deify everything and make a stink about all the new ones. I consider myself a Star Wars fan. Most people I know in the real world are Star Wars fans. It's a huge IP that spans the breadth of multiple generations. I am sure the new Star Wars area at Disneyland will be packed for years and the next movie to come out will still get lines around the block at many theaters. But yeah, Ackbar is a fun bit part whose race is named after a popular fried food. He should chill and enjoy the paycheck.

I'm curious how much money he has made for his role as Ackbar. I mean, I know it is a popular character, but it's also a pretty small part that doesn't necessarily need to be played by that guy. So maybe he should realize that the respect was that they even brought him back to reprise the role at all. Just my opinion. People still take their space fantasy way too seriously. I say this as someone who has lined up for all of the recent Star Wars movies on opening night, and I'd say they are all at their best when they remember it is supposed to be a fun adventure flick from start to finish.

Having Admiral Ackbar say "It's a wrap!" is hilarious. It isn't tone deaf at all, the guy needs to take himself less seriously. He is playing a giant squid in space.

Did I mention I am escaping from Alcatraz on Sunday?

Game Developer Tycoon has been helping me relax lately.

Huh, well I'm ready for another D&D game, so I'm looking forward to it. Larian has this weird habit of losing me after the first act in every game, but the different setting may help.

I also worked on my camper. The door handle had been damaged, so I replaced that. One of the awning arms also got pushed in. The RV is just a big plywood box, so I pulled it out, put in some wood filler, then put a piece of sheet metal over it. Then I drilled some holes are reattached the arm. It was all a bit tricky, and made me miss my father-in-law's advice. He passed away over the winter, and was basically my mentor when it came to any mechanical work. I used his tools, so hopefully I didn't embarrass him. He passed away partially due to diabetes complications, so I am participating in a Diabetes fundraiser ride in a few weeks. Here is the link, if anyone is interested in contributing. I'd appreciate it: http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/?px=15363308&pg=personal&fr_id=12752

Larian may be able to stick to a strong single player experience, but I doubt they can lose the absurdity of their writing.

Baldur's Gate was coop too. I actually played it on a LAN more than I've played the Divinity games. But that's because I had friends and free time when I was young.

Welcome back Sharpie.

That was an amazing bit of deciphering, Ethics Gradient. Well done.

I don't. I mean, I love Shadowrun, but I'd say Harebrained is best suited to continue the game franchise. What would Obsidian really do better than them?

I though Larian was working on some tactical combat game in the Divinity setting.

I've been playing DC Universe Online again. It really is a fantastic character creation system with a great setting that is fun to swing, fly, or speed around.

This is a pretty cool story about a superfan that isn't Drake: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2019/05/27/superfan-nav-bhatia-unites-basketball-fans-even-the-toronto-raptors-opponents.html

I enjoy fantasy, even quite a bit of trashy fantasy, and I've never been able to get into Sanderson. I've been reading these Monster Hunter International books. Silly fun, for sure.

We will throw in Pence for an actual pence.

Is there a time limit on the pushups?

This is a forum for a fairly niche game developer, so I wouldn't expect a whole lot of 'important' topics to come up.

Is the game going to run any differently because of those features that Epic lacks? I have no idea who Tim Swindley is, but again, does that affect the experience I will have with The Outer Worlds?

It's not exclusive from a hardware standpoint, so I don't really see how it is all that anti-consumer. Sure, there is a hassle involved with using a storefront that is different, but any computer that can run Steam or GoG can run Epic. Console exclusive is way more cruddy for consumers, as you have to actually buy something different if you want to use the software. As to the quality of Epic, that sounds more like an opinion. Looks a lot like Steam to me.
