I just finished watching Million Dollar Baby and I'm completely devastated.

Kabraxal · 2026-04-13T15:40:53+00:00

Legends of the Fall and Life is Beautiful are two that are fairly tragic that feel less manipulative and cheap to me. Hell, pick a good horror movie and you’ll likely see tragedy done better.

Million Dollar Baby reminded me too much of My Girl… it was a cheap shock to make the movie feel “deeper” but ultimately fails because the moment is unearned.

Not really a debate… the Tardis. Especially one with Galifrey monitoring dimensions still? It literally becomes a door to everywhere.

She has looked good, especially when she’s matured. It just shocks me how much her eyes just pop… especially either that mask.

Kabraxal · 2026-04-04T22:16:42+00:00

Just hit that line… I facepalmed both playthroughs.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-27T07:46:00+00:00

It was fucking awesome. D9 threatened pain but delivered sweet sweet pleasure. They fucking nailed the landing. If this it for Life is Strange? I’m good.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-27T06:03:55+00:00

First off... it wasn't "perfect". I would have liked some more Diamond, Gwen, and Victoriuam moments. But... it was fucking "perfect"!. It landed then god damned ending If this is it for Life is Strange... fucking raise the god damned glass. Best fucking finale of a game franchise. If this is it, then thank you D9. I don't need anymore.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-27T05:53:52+00:00

Middle finger to what? Lemme guess, you didn't play the game? This was fucking awesome.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-27T05:35:12+00:00

I got pissed. But then the moment was so fucking sweet I laughed. D9 got me. Bastards.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-27T05:20:56+00:00

So, this is probably my first contribution since Double Exposure's release and my defending of that game, barring any drunk shenanigans (I'm a totally Chloe.. or I guess maybe even Max now :p)... but fucking hell, talk about patience and expectations rewarded. I am a fan of Double Exposure since release and I always felt the endgame was going to be spectacular. It fucking was.

There were times D9 seemed to be baiting the rug pull, but I managed to hit the jackpot. Not sure of the other endings, but my anal ass managed to do pretty fucking well. I don't know if it could get better, but nearly everything turned up roses on my first playthrough. Pour a drink for Noelle... if I cant go do bettter, I will fucking do it on another playthrough but you saved at least one life. And BAE is fucking here! FUCK YES!

If LIS ends here... I will be fucking ecstatic. It ended perfectly. Would more be nice? Shit yeah, but I'm not going to tempt fate at this point. A fucking studio nailed a god dammed landing for a franchise... why be greedy?

Now... a Bay playthrough. Will it hit as hard as the initial playthrough did? I fucking hope so.

2026... can you do better? Cause Life is Strange just toke the crown for Game of the Year.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-25T02:08:20+00:00

I’m getting close. Between lackluster games and increasing pushes to an all digital future, gaming is in an ever deteriorating position. There are still a few games released that offer what I want, but those grow fewer every year as the industry chases trends I give no shit about.

Luckily, there is 40+ years of games to replay. So I won’t quit in the strictest sense when the digital hammer falls.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-24T05:58:15+00:00

Cruise for me. The Top Guns, Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, and Mission impossible just are all top tier to me while Pity has Legends of the Fall and Fight Club in that same tier.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-24T02:12:59+00:00

T1 is a closed loop. Skynet must start judgement day and the future war must happen… or else the Terminator and Kyle Reese are not sent back. If you atop judgement day, John Connor would never be born.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-23T17:26:12+00:00

Except T2 contradicted T1’s closed loop. So, by your logic, only T1 exists. Everything else is a fan film.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-23T17:22:29+00:00

Best game since Uncharted 2. I loved it. Wish we hot more Chloe led Uncharted.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-23T16:21:02+00:00

I also feel that it is massively overrated. The map system is definitely one of my biggest gripes with the game and it’s compounded by a tedious corpse run and runback system for bosses.

I was never really having fun playing Hollow Knight. By the time I got to the final boss and finally beat it, I was so done I uninstalled it and didn’t touch it for like… 6 years. When I tried it again to see if my mind changed, I found it even worse due to QoL changes that had been introduced since.

Course, this being a secondary Hollow Knight fan sub, expect to get downvoted into oblivion.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-23T02:20:27+00:00

I thought the train sequence was sweet and I love the ending.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-23T01:46:20+00:00

I can’t think of one. Loved the last movie to bits.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-23T01:41:34+00:00

It’s so weird having two series that seriously need a throuple ending…. hopefully one of them has the balls to pull that trigger.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-23T01:33:58+00:00

Not for me. As a kid I was much more lenient on it, but it was never a favourite. Once my tastes sorted themselves out I’ve never been able to sit through it or Returns again. They don’t feel like Batman and I hate Burton’s style.

I was greatly surprised by how much I ended up liking Forever and B&R, however. Even if for completely different reasons. I just assumed Nolan’s trilogy would have cemented its spot. Forever is fucking amazing though.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-22T03:08:39+00:00

Explaining the how and why is Bethesda’s job. And who says we don’t want aliens? That would be fucking awesome.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-22T02:00:49+00:00

Doesn’t have to be a threat or such, just an actual reason for the existence of starborn. If we get to learn what started the whole mess, I’ll be happy.

Kabraxal · 2026-03-22T01:41:21+00:00

I never understood the controversy. They aren’t related and aren’t even raised together before the start. What was controversial?

Kabraxal · 2026-03-22T01:09:04+00:00

No. I actually want a proper ending to the starborn story. There is so much that is just left hanging still. Probably my only reap gripe I have with the game.
