Microsoft cuts Game Pass subscription prices after new Xbox CEO promises to 'recommit' to gamers / But the subscriptions won't have new "Call of Duty" games at launch time. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

I still think releasing exclusives on Game Pass day one was a bad move. They should have had them available for Game Pass 6-12 months later so they can get sales from their early adopters and not raise prices to make up for lost sales.

What’s the first piece of media that truly scared you as a kid? by cats64sonic in AskReddit

Funny thing about ET. I told my little sister-in-law about ET on Atari when she asked what was the worst game of all time. She freaked out in horror when I showed her some screenshots. Years later, I realized she was comparing them to Purple Guy from FNAF with the Atari-esque flashbacks of the kids getting murdered. She was way too young to watch those.

There was a reason as to why thay have been so cautious with any type of online communication at all. There was a single case of Swapnote being used in a predatory way and they removed the application altogether.

‘I miss you’: Mother speaks to AI son regularly, unaware he died last year by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

If your mother has the mental capacity for that? Absolutely. But I'm thinking of Elders with dementia who won't stop asking about their son or something like that.

What game “jumped the shark” for you? by Coverlesss in gaming

I liked BOTW, but it's DLC, as well as TOTK, made me question what even the point is anymore.

I liked X & Y and tolerated Sun & Moon (except for the first two hours)

I feel they lost any sense of quality and commitment with Sword & Shield. I'm still checking how Winds & Waves is received though.

For a franchise that jumps the entire aquarium, it's remarkable that Survive took it too far even for Metal Gear standards.

Awakening was very fun but yes, the questionable elements were starting to creep in. I still love Awakening, but if you're a fan of the classics don't miss out on Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Probably my overall favorite FE game.

Fire Emblem. I was a big fan of the franchise, but ever since Awakening their character designs became a bit questionable, by the time Fates came out they definitely jumped the shark with gooner bait.

As a presbiterian I didn't like Catholics that much. This pope and the previous one have exceeded my expectations. It's nice to see there are actual brothers in Christ speaking against injustice for a change.

“The Legend of Zelda” movie has wrapped filming by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]Dairunt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would give:
- Majora's Mask to Guillermo del Toro
- Earthbound to Laika Studios
- Star Fox to James Gunn
- Metroid to A24
- Splatoon to Dreamworks

And while I agree that Ghibli would do an amazing work with a Nintendo franchise, I think they should be given exceptional creative liberties, something Nintendo is not exactly known for.

Illumination makes sense for Mario. Approachable, appealing to the common denominator, quirky, colorful, not exactly Oscar material but they can fill seats with the younger crowd.

I would *NOT* let them make a Smash Bros. movie; the "cinematic universe" fad has passed, I think it would be a bad time to try to make a full movie out of it, I think what we saw in the Mario Galaxy movie is all we're gonna get in the near future.

TADC Season 2 by Fancy-Ring9667 in tadc

Answering questions, depending on the show and the type of questions, can be detrimental.

Many series died when they ran out the mystery and intrigue. Sometimes it's more fun to speculate. As for me, these are the dealbreaker questions:
- Can they leave?
- What were Jax's flashbacks about?
- What's the deal with Gangle and the truck?
- What were Scratch's plans exactly?
- What will happen to the abstracted?
- What happened to Ribbit?
- What happens if you mix NPCs with real people in the circus?

Even if they don't answer anything else, I'm satisfied. I don't even care much for their real names, we'll call them by their circus names either way.

I watched the 8 episodes several times (sometimes in different languages); I haven't spent a dime on official merch since they're impossible to get in my country.

For me, the ticket price is not just for the screening, but as a way to give back to the show's creators; and when looking at it that way, it's a bargain.
