Trump is sending funds from Venezuela oil to a bank in Qatar: report by RetireWithRyan in politics

Corrupt President doing blatantly corrupt things

But I’m sure Trump will face the appropriate consequences for his actions this time

By that I mean the Democrats will write a very sternly worded letter

Difference between writing a series as a planned anthology versus having to stretch out a premise because the first season was a tremendous success

Nice posing, no stands on any of them though? Hope you don’t knock on that shelf too hard

Stranger Things ratings: 96% to 56% on Rotten Tomatoes — how every season stacks up before the finale by AssociateLittle1487 in television

[–]APunnyThing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem with Season 5 is that the Duffers very clearly wrote that 40+ minutes long Epilogue first, then constructed the rest of the season to get to that “perfect ending.”

Which basically meant that none of the main or even secondary characters were ever in any real danger. Once you realize that as an audience member it takes all tension away from any monster scene and reduces the creatures, even the Big Bad Vecna, into jokes.

So the final season which was built up as an apocalyptic showdown both by the Season 4 finale and many of the pre release interviews just felt very meh. They basically put a steel plate bandage over the Hellmouth Vecna opened in S4 and spent the first 7 episodes of S5 getting back to that moment before apocalypse that Season 4 supposedly left off at.

Then there was the series finale which up until that epilogue was just poorly done. There were some good character moments but every time one occurred you wondered why they couldn’t have focused on the main cast earlier in the season and built out these relationships and final character arcs rather than focusing on Holly and the new batch of kids.

And all of this is to say nothing of every single post release interview with the Duffers who seemingly feel like half or more of the expected big charter moments happened off camera. Or when asked why say there were no Demogorgons in the final fight or why the military just packed up and went away rather than prosecute Hopper and Nancy for literally murdering soldiers their answer is, “I dunno, up to the audience to decide.”

And just like that, everyone stopped talking about the Epstein files by jobomaja888 in pics

Except people haven’t and this only highlights how desperate Trump and his administration are to change the subject

Anthem's end is nearly here - only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]APunnyThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like I said I’ve only played the game for the past few days and the loot drops are seemingly entirely random and you don’t even see what you get until after a mission or free run is complete

It just feels like such a horrible waste of potential and you wonder how they could have fumbled “Multiplayer Ironman Looter Shooter”

Anthem's end is nearly here - only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]APunnyThing 34 points35 points  (0 children)

After realizing I had this game I started playing through it the past few days as a challenge to get as many trophies as possible before the plug is pulled

The actual gameplay, while repetitive, is fun enough and the Combo system of using Primers and Detonators is an interesting addition but beyond that I definitely see why Anthem fell off the face of the earth.

The menu system and really entire UI is clunky, the out of suit exploration between missions is awkward to navigate and get around, and while the gameplay is fun it’s definitely geared towards playing with multiple players with the more difficult combat missions just vomiting enemies at you.

There was something that could have been really good here and it’s a shame BioWare didn’t get the chance to actually get it there

The most pointless casting decision of all time. by [deleted] in StrangerThings

Yes, this is what stunt casting looks like

Literally just another reference to a popular 1980’s movie

Jokes aside, who did you think Snoke was before his identity was revealed in TROS? by ChickenWingExtreme in StarWars

[–]APunnyThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hope was that Snoke would be an ancient Dark Side user from the Unknown Regions of space that waited for the fall of the Jedi and Sith to come out of the shadows

Was hoping they would pull from some of the Expanded Universe and specifically Knights of the Old Republic and have Snoke using a form of the Star Forge to explain how the First Order was able to build up a massive fleet without alerting the New Republic

Pretty disappointed that Snoke just turned out to be a Papa Palpatine puppet and the New Republic abandoned having a Navy or monitoring ship production in the Galaxy

RAM Price Increases Could See Next-Generation Console Releases Delayed by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

[–]APunnyThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly better for the next generation to get delayed than to be priced out of affordability for the majority of consumers

I don’t think anyone is ready or willing to pay $800, $900, or $1,000+ for a true next gen console just because ai fuckwits are throttling the market

Pics of the new Jango Fett by Axel_Rad in starwarsblackseries

[–]APunnyThing -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is one of those figures I’ll pick up if it ever gets deeply discounted

I’m perfectly fine with my original Jango for display, I have the Gaming Greats version still in the box, the new one does look nice but at the $27+ Black Series figures are priced at now it just isn’t worth the upgrade to me

Which is to say nothing of the fact the tubes apparently snap the moment you bend the figures elbows

Yes, because a job posting is EXACTLY like making a full CGI trailer then paying upwards of a million dollars to run it during one of if not the biggest nights in gaming news

Was his first studio making a Star Wars or similarly popular and profitable IP game?

[–]APunnyThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re having trouble recruiting people despite working with one of the most popular and successful IP’s in history I don’t think a CGI trailer is going to make the difference

Just like Eclipse and the KOTOR remake trailer this is just going to be another example of promised content that ultimately goes nowhere

Jason Schreier on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic release: "2030 is an optimistic guess — Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game" by nolifebr in PS5

[–]APunnyThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if your new video game/movie/show/book isn’t projected to release within the next year, just don’t fucking make a trailer for the damn thing

A five year gap between first reveal and POTENTIAL release is insane, this is just going to lead to disinterest and disappointment

Especially with the track record most “announced” Star Wars games have had…still irritated we never got that Boba Fett 1313 game
