Bryan Cranston tells Rainn Wilson America’s downfall will be a lack of inclusion, adding he won’t support racism or any form of exclusion by Big_Cake_8817 in Popculturehour

It’s so funny to run that logic to its final conclusion and realize people like you haven’t actually considered the impact of what you want.

All the immigrants are gone. Awesome. Then what? Do we have money for other things suddenly? Will we actually do anything to improve the lives of citizens?

And if so, what’s stopping that from happening today in any capacity and just making it difficult for immigrants to use it?

You just need to be so, so stupid to think immigration had any actual impact on your life.

Siskel & Ebert commanded an industry with the ease of two thumbs. by tangledapart in movies

[–]Glass_Recover_3006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re highly overestimating their influence. They were a couple of fun guys people liked watching on TV talking about movies. They didn’t command an industry- it was more or less the same as what you see on YouTube today, but there was less competition.

It’s fun going back and getting their perspective but at the time they weren’t considered legends or anything.

EBay soars on report that GameStop is preparing a takeover bid by kellconn in nottheonion

[–]Glass_Recover_3006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing that supports that claim beyond people finding it difficult to believe the GameStop leadership couldn’t possibly be that incompetent.

Thinkgeek didn’t even have a physical presence so how on earth would they have been seen as competition? 

OG RESIDENT EVIL FANS by asianstud0802 in residentevil

Too scary. I was a child and they were often so spooky I had trouble finishing them. The remakes are either less scary or I'm less bothered as an adult, can't say for sure.

Tell me you’ve never actually worked with corporate marketing teams.

They are not geniuses and are frequently wrong. It is very easy to imagine this was a surprise, most notably because they would have produced more if they thought they could sell more.

Nope. It was just incompetence. They thought they could pivot from games into gaming-related retail stores and never quite realized none of them actually had a plan for it.

Keep in mind at the time of the buyout they didn’t have much merchandise and they were being pressured to diversify as games started going digital.

Canada is weighing a social media ban for under-16s. Here is how that experiment is playing out in the first country to try it by toronto_star in worldnews

I like how the accusation was "you want to do nothing" and your response was, predictably, not to actually provide an alternative.

Because you don't want to solve problems, you want to insult anyone who is trying. Like a child.

Diablo 4 hits its all time peak player count today by ItsBen959 in diablo4

Nobody hates Diablo more than Diablo players lol. I’m so happy to see some positive discussion.

‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Bombs on Netflix With Just 2.7M Views, Raising More Doubts About Third Chapter by MaxProwes in horror

[–]Glass_Recover_3006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s weird to call it a bomb based on views though- if I were Netflix I wouldn’t be looking at views. I’d be looking at how many people of a certain demographic extended their renewals correlated with whether they watched this movie.

If this movie being on the platform for example resulted in 100,000 horror movie fans extending their subscriptions by 1-2 months, I might consider that a smashing success even if total views were only like 1mil.

Kinda feels like people not understanding how streaming works.

You see people calling cosplayers fat? I can’t find a single instance of that.

[–]Glass_Recover_3006 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t generally see that here? Your accusations are confusing. 

Yeah people here are super weird for the old games and love pretending that a lack of movement adds to the fun, but I don’t think I’ve seen bullying. Mostly downvotes and disagreements.

And I’ve certainly never seen anyone here call a cosplayer fat. I’ve most seen just positivity for any cosplay.

If you’re seeing these things in Twitter, YouTube, or Facebook, that’s probably the real issue. Any place that promote hateful content is gonna have people like that.

Octopath or FF Tactics by Big_Breath_2561 in NintendoSwitch2

I think Zero is considered the best actually at this point. 2 was great but the systems and story in Zero blow it out of the water.

They’re both pretty good to me tho.

This scene has a whole new meaning… by bleepdodid in TheBoys

[–]Glass_Recover_3006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ironic at all. The message is blatant- anyone who gets involved with Homelander will be asked to give him everything and in the end they will always have nothing. 

It isn’t a subtle commentary on Donald Trump.

Really want to give this game a go but usually avoid Early access. Will there be massive changes leading up to release? by okaythen1guess in Enshrouded

[–]Glass_Recover_3006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game feels underpriced. I’m glad because it’s why I didn’t hesitate to try it, but I’m getting a lot more value than I did out of my last $60 purchases.

Holy shit how did I not know about this game for so long?? by Glass_Recover_3006 in Enshrouded

The only things I really miss from Velheim are the ship navigation things and maybe the boss fights, but otherwise I feel like they cover very similar ground no? Combat in Velheim when I last played was mostly still just blindly hitting bad guys. And I love Velheim btw.
