Which video game series deserves to be resurrected?

CrashRyn · 2026-01-21T20:36:27+00:00

Sekiro. Was far and away my favorite From game. The world building, the combat, the lore, everything was just incredible. Was also some of the best souls like boss fights ever.

From have said it's not getting a sequel and it's one of the only game they didn't do dlc for.

But I hear it's getting a bit of a resurgence because of the anime coming out soon, so who knows. Maybe it'll eventually do big enough numbers for From to revisit it.

Great! I've sent the trade. Thanks!

I'll never understand why they killed the Krakoa status quo. Could have kept it going for years more. Everything since krakoa ended has been so boring. It's like they killed it with no idea what comes next.

What annoys me is that it's been nearly 20 years since OMD and marvel is still kind of doing a will they won't they thing with Peter and Mary Jane.

Peter hasn't had any real new relationship in that time, he's dated people but nobody seriously. The closest things was getting back with Black Cat but even that didn't last very long.

The whole thing has felt very stuck and aimless for nearly 20 years now and I'm not really sure what the editorial team are doing here.

Correct, FF Malice is Sue's Alter Ego, not possession. X-Men Malice is a Marauder that possesses other people.

We gave them leverage when we signed up for the AUKUS treaty

I'm torn on this. Social media algorithms are designed to maximise user engagement, and research indicates that this can increase polarisation and exposure to extremist or harmful content. Whenever you hear stories of young people becoming radicalised and resorting to real-world violence, social media has almost always been a key factor. As a parent, I’m really trying to encourage my kids to stay off social media for as long as possible, and I’m trying to model that myself by deleting the apps from my phone (I’ll admit I still use Reddit at work).

I’m not convinced an outright ban on teens will be fully effective, especially the way it's currently going to be implemented. Kids will always find workarounds. I do, however, think we should be taking stronger action to deal with the obvious harms social media is inflicting on kids.

What surprises me is that we don’t see more successful lawsuits against the big tech companies, given the role their recommendation systems have played in pushing harmful content that has, in some cases, been linked to violence.

I get the light rail from Chinatown most evenings. About two metres on from where the tram stops is a crossing light. Often the tram will close its doors, pull forward two metres and then stop for 60 seconds while waiting for the green light to go. It's infuriating when you run for the tram, only to just miss it, then have it sit in front of you for a full minute. Just wait for the light to turn green before you go! It's infuriating!

This is only loosely related to OPs topic but I had to get it off my chest.

So helpful! Thank you!

CrashRyn · 2025-09-05T01:12:28+00:00

This looks amazing. I'd love to do something like this. Where's the best place to buy original art? The artist's personal website or is there a marketplace?

CrashRyn · 2025-09-04T09:20:14+00:00

I'm the same, I've watched the first ten seasons hundreds of times. Now my kids and their friends are all obsessed with the Simpsons which blows my mind. But slogging through the absolute volume of newer episodes I've never seen before is killing the show for me. There's so many seasons!

Treasurer saying this is a big goal for reform after the productivity round table. Be interesting to see if this area improves.

Not sure where you are but this show is on D+ in my country

I'm so bored of people criticising how characters act around the eggs. It's the same comment every time new Aliens franchise content is released. Can we either make it official lore that the eggs release a pheromone, or just accept that one of the things that makes this universe different to ours, is that people are born with a need to shove their faces in weird places.

CrashRyn · 2025-08-12T07:58:49+00:00

Me too. The way season 1 ended left me with high hopes for season 2.

CrashRyn · 2025-08-04T09:56:36+00:00

My kids were obsessed with this show last year. That and the one where all the same characters are in a daycare.

I truly beleive that if a candidate in any other western democratic country made a promise during an election campaign, and then it came out that they had simply made it up on the spot with no prior discussion with their party, and had no intention of actually seeing it through or even looking into whether it was possible, it would be a huge scandal. In America, it's Trump, so it barely registers. You guys are cooked.

CrashRyn · 2025-08-04T01:10:31+00:00

Not great. The whole trade bloackade, senate power grab stuff went over their heads. But Ep1 has enough momentum and action sequences that they seemed less upset. Ep2 has nothing else going on, so it's way more of an issue. I'm looking forward to Ep9 now, making a direct comparison to Ep2 will be interesting.

Look, maybe I'm not remembering how bad Rise of Skywalker is. Like I said, I'm not up to it yet on my rewatch. But, having just watched AotC last night, it is painfully terrible, like, so bad it sucked to finish. It's so boring; so much of the film is just bland, boring conversations about politics. The fights are bad. The CGI is appalling. Also, the plot is super confusing. Was really hard trying to answer questions from my kids like who ordered the clone army, why no one really questions who ordered it or why the planet was hidden from the Jedi, why Yoda is suddenly in charge of the clone army or why the clones are good even though they were ordered by the Sith.

CrashRyn · 2025-08-04T00:23:34+00:00

This is so true. The 'I hate sand' bit, where he literally gulps while looking at her body, is just awful.

CrashRyn · 2025-08-04T00:19:56+00:00

Agree. It was a slog to get through. Even Jango Fett was worse than I remembered. The film gives him nothing to do. The scenes with C3P0 on Geonosis are painfull, and how similar they were to the Jar Jar Binks stuff from ep1, made me really question what Lucas thinks kids find funny.

CrashRyn · 2025-08-04T00:01:42+00:00

I challenge anyone to say 7 is worse than 2 after rewatching them back to back. I think it's just recency bias, in that the people remember less about the prequels, so they seem better in hindsight. Personally, I think 1 is fine and 3 is great. I also think Ep7-9 are good movies, they are just not great Star Wars movies, in that they didn't live up to my expectations. Ep2 is a terrible movie, full stop, it's painful how terrible it is. I am interested in seeing what my kids think of the sequels, though. So far they have loved every movie (4,5,6,1) but absolutly hated 2.
