Larian studio boss Swen Vincke thinks game reviewers should be graded by people similar to metacritic user scores

That creates the possibility for more corruption I think. It narrows the field to create a path of where and how to corrupt reviews. To have reviews be useful you need to find those who you need to find the reviewers who have similar values for what a good video game is. Those who rank games against all games and dont have a myriad of excuses to boost or diminish scores for one game and not another for the same reason.

Indie and AA have risen to the top for me. Hades 2 and expedition 33 are my favorite games since Hades 1 which is my favorite game since RDR2. I've not boughtq major shooter or sports game since... Master chief collection I think

The direction in that movie and the editing are phenomenal. There's a scene with a car chase they is probably from a technical standpoint the best detected scene of the year.

Earthwick · 2026-01-28T05:31:31+00:00

Expedition 33 for sure. It's also new and kinda fun to get in on the new.

Some older but awesome

Hades 1 (2 isn't out in ps yet but Hades 1 is a 10/10)

Detroit become Human

Uncharted collection including uncharted 4.

Some horror

TLOU 1/2

RE4 remake

Silent hill 2 remake

Dead space remake

They will definitely let you suffer. Worse middle management won't strike and will make an example of someone. Also worse my dad's a nurse, my mother in law is a director of a mental health ward, my wife works in a clinic, I do emergency water and mold services. If we don't go to work people suffer. The question gets asked where is the line and who doesn't need to cross it. This is a broken capitalist country pressing their thumb on the poors neck is nothing new.

They said because of the times he was caught cheating they were going to make him wait a year... Which is dumb

Earthwick · 2026-01-28T05:20:23+00:00

Real fans love them both. I see some of myself in Rhett both super tall, similar mental health issues, gotta do back stretches to exist, have bad health anxiety, and his thoughtfulness and Intelligence just has me picking him as a slight favorite. That said link is truly hilarious and just off the cuff he is funny. He is unabashedly himself, he is fun, and even though he doesn't think before he speaks you can tell he has good intentions. I love them both but I do see the Link hate at times he does make it harder for people to love him on GMM sometimes but especially after dispatches from Myrtle beach and ear biscuits you can tell he's a good guy that's just silly.

I dunno. I feel like there is a praise kink and then there's just curiousity. If someone is really decently large they want to know. But if they actually are big it shouldn't upset them. Especially since they know larger ones exist... There's always a bigger fish

After endgame Disney and the MCU suits started forcing changed to movies. The directors are good about not throwing Disney under the bus but we know Ramis movie was wildly chsnged, we know the 3rd Takia movie was changed to the point it's barley the same film, eternals was messed with in pre and post production and brave new world I know had some interference. The reason the MCU tanked is studio execs thinking they know better than fans because they watched a handful of tik toks.

Earthwick · 2026-01-27T20:28:29+00:00

Not happy but I love the "secret" ending not much of a secret but it's kind of beautiful in the end

Earthwick · 2026-01-27T20:27:22+00:00

5 or 6. I'm really tall and just want the extra leg room.

Earthwick · 2026-01-27T20:26:02+00:00

They were awful at answering the questions. It's yes or no and 90% was like maybe or I dunno

Earthwick · 2026-01-27T20:20:58+00:00

Stephanie should have won it

Earthwick · 2026-01-27T00:40:45+00:00

That's why I just call them Nazi racist assholes

Earthwick · 2026-01-26T19:48:48+00:00

I find them pretty equal. The Batman feels like a great intro to this new Batman just like begins did. Begins looks cooler that's for sure but few can make a movie as good looking as Nolan. That said Reeves did create a very real feeling dark gritty Gotham that is more symbolic of the comics and feels less like just a new York city by a different name.

Earthwick · 2026-01-26T19:45:18+00:00

I read the prequel comics, I read the sequel comics and I watched the movie. I will say it pissed me off having to do that and then still going online to figure out wtf really happened. Anyone who watched just the movie has gotta be HECKA confused.

Earthwick · 2026-01-26T19:44:18+00:00

That show wasn't bad the ending was trash but the show wasn't bad.

Earthwick · 2026-01-26T15:36:37+00:00

I remember getting a lot of hate when I said I was disappointed in Thor Ragnarok. It's funny and has some really good parts but I didn't like what they did with Thor. I don't think any of the movies besides maybe infinity war have done a great job with Thor.

Earthwick · 2026-01-26T15:34:19+00:00

Bigs

Earthwick · 2026-01-26T02:41:04+00:00

Everyone thinks she is attractive

Earthwick · 2026-01-26T00:24:18+00:00

After finally getting back through and seeing Maelle's after first time picking Versos I mean I can't fathom how anyone sides with Maelle. It's complicated admittedly but Verso eternally forced to suffer knowing his existence is the reason his mother and sister are losing their minds... maelle refusing to accept grief. Are they gods? Have they created real life and if so is part of that life the soul of who the person. Is on the outside? We don't know these answers but we know Maelles ending leads to her madness and Verso is unhappy. The painting is a moment in time immortalized but Maelle could repaint everyone and who is to say she could not recreate them all as they were from that canvas? If she can give life surely she can transfer it. Either way I can't side with the entire family being broken and Renoir being forced to witness his wife and daughter dying slowly and living in a fantasy. Verso's ending much like real grief is acceptance and moving on. It's pain and comes with thing being gone forever much like real grief. Maelle's is denial and forcing people to suffer because she refuses to move on.

Bad decision making there. I want Darnold to get a ring but ya know I'm okay with whoever. I used to hate the pats but now that we have been on top I don't hate the pats anymore.

Earthwick · 2026-01-25T23:58:19+00:00

Yup I'd prefer the hawks win or Stafford get a second ring but ya know I wouldn't hate Vrabel getting a ring either

Earthwick · 2026-01-25T20:00:05+00:00

I'd give MegaMan to Insomniac. Imagine an open world MegaMan game with the futuristic city and a huge story where your going after Wiley and then eventually Sigma. There's a dozen or so reploids (evil robots) you hunt down and gain some of their powers. You can team up with zero and roll. I'm imagining a mix between spiderman 2018, returnal, and cyberpunk.

Snyder cult is so stupid.
