I think there's a simpler explanation for Alita's score than conspiracy theories - the end doesn't really give a pay-off to the story. Don't get me wrong, I loved the film and understand why they went with that ending, but it doesn't resolve the plot or the emotional character arcs of the main characters. It stops rather than ends.

Isnt that still a win/lose situation, just broken up into gradients? Ive never paid for a "lootbox" but don't 100% of them have "something" in them, that being what you wanted or not, notwithstanding? Or is there actually a chance to get an empty "lootbox"? You could argue that, sure. But if you win little you could still be upset you didn't win a lot (with respect to paying money chasing a rare loot box item). You could also argue Loot boxes are more akin to an ultra rare card in a collectible card game, the purchase of packs wouldn't be considered gambling.

That's really only in winner takes all types of gambling. There are types of gambling that gives you odds on an opportunity (win big, win little, lose little, lose big). That's why as I recall giveaway games (like McDonald's Monopoly games) have to give a way to play the game without purchase to not be considered gambling in most states and thus be regulated under state law (and it is regulated, such as being required to publish odds to win prizes).

I hope we don't go full on Mad Max. I look terrible in a mohawk and chaps.

All your money?

In a single player game with difficulty sliders, why would anyone care about any game difficulty that they didn't personally find fun to use? Unless the player finds them all equally unfun in which the problem isn't really with the difficulty so much as it is with the game.

Julie Adams, star of a number of movies and shows but maybe best remembered as the female lead in CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON passed away earlier this week at the age of 92.

Yes it is recommended. The developers don't visit here as often anymore, and this really isn't an issue the community can help you with. An email through that account or the web form on the Help section of Obsidian's site should get the issue to someone (where it might be in their queue, I can't tell you). Hope you get a response soon!

Umlauts signify a specific vowel pronunciation as I recall, so are in all parts of names and words. Eg, das mädchen = the girl (which can also be used as a forename, eg Mädchen Amick) for German. That said Jääskeläinen is a Finnish name I think, so its not an umlaut if I understand it correctly, but a Scandinavian character used in the Finnish alphabet (if we still have some Finnish speaking posters they may be able to elaborate further). Diacritical marks (like the umlaut or acute accent) are typically used to represent something that differs from the non marked usage. The acute accent in Spanish from my memory is used to indicate an irregular vowel stress or a distinction between words otherwise spelled the same. So González having an acute mark in her name in the text & picture should indicate pronunciation as gon-ZAH-les as opposed to Gonzalez which would be pronounced gon-zah-LES as I recall (however as we all know names aren't always pronounced how they're spelt, so...). A Spanish first name with an acute accent is Adrián, used to indicate the ia doesn't diphthong IIRC.

Have you also emailed this issue to support@obsidian.net?

I always liked "This Thread Sucks" and "Drama!". "You lose" and "Nice theory" were also good. Well they were all good I guess.

Yeah I can't find them either. I can't remember who used to have them as well.

RIP **** Miller, 90. Did a lot of B movies (including a bunch for Roger Corman) and a lot of TV. I just saw him in an episode of TNG as a holodeck newspaper vendor. https://variety.com/2019/film/news/****-miller-dead-dies-gremlins-terminator-1203124265/

That ad series didn't go anywhere I thought it was going to.
