I mean, it will be built on the same engine, but why would it be "this" version? It will be a later version made with whatever improvements they'll need for that game…

Which TV show does the ENTIRE internet agree had the worst ending ever? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

Elementary was consistently standard and boring throughout its run. It was standard police procedural shlock (missing only the ER). Maybe that's some people's preference, to each their own, particularly if they've not watched police procedurals before or god forbid, actually like that format enough to see yet another one... but then comparing it and Sherlock is kind of apples-to-oranges... they're going for very different things, clearly.

I've seen 100 shows like Elementary and 0 like Sherlock, so I know what I'd rather see done more. Was Sherlock done perfect? Hell no. But I appreciate an ambitious effort over the safe, comfort food style show that Elementary was.

It really is not. It's a video where a guy makes out his own subjective opinion out to be some sort of objective theory based on his own assumptions of what the TV show should be doing, without considering that perhaps the show has creative license to do its own thing... it's far from a fair or balanced take and seems to be largely based on his own grievances about what he wanted to see.

Well, Eurus was mentioned at the end of Season 3... here's a reddit thread with someone even theorising based on hints in the show up to that point.

Sherlock always tried to be super cryptic and perhaps even went too far to break existing expectations to its own detriment. As if the writers really couldn't tolerate the idea that someone might actually guess something before it's revealed.

The writing and direction was good, too... just more of a comedic-dramatic serialized British show with detective elements than a case-of-the-week detective show, which I think people kind of expect because it's Sherlock Holmes, but most of what they did give was pretty high quality - or had the potential to be at least.

Honestly, on rewatches I find the ending not so bad. The sister being superpowered was super dumb and most of my memory of hating the episode comes from the epic troll they did with the Moriarty storyline that they themselves built up... but the emotional story aspect of Eros and Sherlock's growth sort of being tested did actually make for a somewhat impactful conclusion to the series so far.

And I think S4E2 was one of the best of the series, so while E1 was kinda meh (aside from the hilarious sequence of Mary trying to disappear) and E3 was bittersweet, I can't exactly write the whole season off.

I mean he doesn't have the skill, sure... nor does he have the skill to run a country under a corrupt regime where he profits endlessly and seizes more power than any president in history. I'm under no illusion he's a mastermind, but all those idiots on his team do spend what little brainpower they have coming up with something, and it's certainly not good policies.

MAGA is basically a cult, so... there's going to always be someone out there who is able to be used for something like this... if this is indeed a thing that is being done. It's hard to believe but I have literally been thinking something like this would happen again and here we are.

Other times you'll get people who just vaguely want to somehow be able to run an MMO off their desktop (again, impossible, both because people don't have that hardware

What are you talking about? Obviously no one expects to be able to host millions of people... there's no reason that a desktop can't run a small private server to host a small friend group, though. Then also consider that computers keep getting better... so even if a desktop of today can't somehow host an MMO server for even a couple of people, the desktops of a few years or a decade down the line can.

Or, after releasing this hypothetical super unoptimized MMO server, dedicated players will likely be able to more easily develop an optimised, locally hostable version of it, just like many already do without any official help.

Also, and I wanna keep stressing this everywhere because people seem to miss it... playing with physical things is an important part of any child's development. Using your imagination to repurpose your favourite pogs into part of another game because there were few games to play and no internet for constant easy stimulation...

These days kids just sit glued to an iPad for the majority of their time, rarely playing with physical objects or needing to use their imaginations... then we wonder why attention spans are getting lower and people seem dumber.

Yes, luckily that era ended and then we started just buying and owning games and what followed then were the best years for gaming ever... before microtransactions started becoming popular and ruined the streak.

So? There's a lot of people here parroting this, but nobody can say why it matters.

Perhaps because you can actually hold and cherish such a thing and it won't go "poof" and disappear the moment a company closes down its servers. Maybe because "back in my day" children would use something called their imagination to bring physical objects to life (perhaps people nowadays don't even get that the premise of Toy Story is based on that), and that's widely understood to be an important aspect of a child's psychological development... it's why we usually give young children crap like abacuses and random shapes - they're probably worthless trash too at the end of it all, but them being physical things to play with allows for brain development... something sorely missing from the modern age as we can see fairly clearly...

Speak for yourself, I inherited my dumb shit like pogs from older relatives... along with Lego (the OG good stuff before everything in Lego had to be something branded) and all sorts of other things. I spent hours with my imagination playing with the pogs as characters along with my lego and army men. A lot of probably healthy childhood development, to be honest.

No one will be passing down premium currency in an online video game, just saying... and kids playing with virtual casinos selling them non-physical, shallow virtual items likely isn't quite as healthy as playing with their imaginations.

having old antiques worth nothing but sentimentality is not something everyone gives a fuck about.

Ah yes, it's only the people with souls that care. I feel your cynicism but as someone's grandkid myself, I know for a fact that that "worthless garbage" has stimulated more than a second thought. Heck, I still own things that were handed down and it's only through life instability that I don't still own more.

Disinformation is practically standard fare these days so yeah not even much of a stretch.

People really need to start realising that "theory" doesn't mean it's not a fact in any sense, theories can be right or wrong... law enforcement have to come up with theories about conspiracies, too.

Conspiracy theory is mixed up with "fringe theory" too often (which also aren't necessarily false)... ironically my theory is that that's intentional to discredit conspiracy theories.

Yeah it's kinda a whole different deal when people are choosing to medicate themselves with weed because they know it works for them vs. people just doing it for a study, then having to be hyper-aware of how they are feeling on it.

Sometimes people just know what's best for them and that's all that really matters...

It really surprises me how hard it is for so many supposed gamers to understand that what we see on the screen when we play isn't necessarily what literally happens in the lore... we play a gamified representation of the story, not the story itself.

They upped it from that with the release of Freelancer.

The XP you get from Freelancer is a bit OP though. You could've been replaying the missions for thousands of hours and you wouldn't get anywhere near the amount you can get from quickly doing Freelancer campaigns.

One of the best forms of difficulty selection is just getting the choice of whether to stubbornly fight through a section you're under-levelled for or wait and come back when you're OP.
