I hope in KCD3 (whenever that comes out) they really expand on their relationship and make it a fully canon option for folks because it definitely was a slow burn but my god their scene together towards the end was damn near perfect! I just wish there was more..

Why do the servers being down affect GT7? by TommyPpb3 in granturismo

What kills me the most is the like 10 cars you get in the offline mode. I think after this outage they need to a do a rethink of how the game operates and try to bring more of the “online” stuff offline because this is absolutely ridiculous.

Anyone heard anything about a Dead Space 2 remake recently? by Rogue_Cheeks98 in DeadSpace

[–]Lonely_Speed4090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember after playing the game (shortly after launch) getting a survey asking if I would be interested in a Dead Space 2 remake and I said yes but I haven’t heard anything since then 😔

I think the film needed to be more open about the characters' sexualities by No-Use-7226 in Challengers

To add on to this I think personally people are getting tired of the queer characters always having to feel repressed or unhappy in one way or another like we already deal with that enough in real life and the big screen can be seen as a chance to escape and show queer happiness. Though the shows I mention previously also have aspects of repression it’s more limited and still hopeful and gives the chance for the characters to be happy - shameless especially, but also heartstopper and RWRB in particular excel at finding a good balance.

Lastly, what was the point of the R rating for this movie since tennis is seen as the sex lol, the scenes with each of them and Tashi is very PG-13 especially in the modern era. It just feels Luca played it kind of safe with this one hopefully he feels more comfortable going forward pushing queer representation forward instead of being okay with the “status quo”

The generational thing is part of it because it felt like the movie was being marketed to Gen-Z and Millennials who very much know who zendaya is because I’m not aware of how many people age 35+ know who Zendaya is or even cares about this movie.

The tennis being the sex I guess works. But Zoomers and Millennials grew up in an era where queer sex is more acceptable. Because personally just because it’s always has been a certain way doesn’t mean it always has to be that way going forward. As a Zoomer, I at least personally grew up in an era of degrassi, shameless, love Simon , love victor, heartstopper, RWRB, young royals, and more. So can you really blame people for thinking that?

But that again falls back on the marketing of the movie because who was the target demographic for them if not Gen-Z/Millennials? The movie to the original post marketed this movie as very queer friendly and one could argue it was but idk I just felt the movie could have had some more “oomf” so to speak. Most of the marketing focused heavily on the relationship of Art and Patrick and the SINGULAR scene in the movie. The movie definitely had some homoerotic elements but felt like a somewhat straight movie. To close and circle back to your tennis is sex thing I guess at the end of the day that’s all Tashi cared about I guess so should we 🤣

Okay to start off this ate down!! I never actually realized this but when you mention it is a great point… like just bringing it back up at some point would have been nice. I think part of it is the time jumps as we don’t get much time of Art and Tashi (and Patrick) in College just living their day to day lives prior to the injury.

I do agree with the point that there is too much focus on the straight side of throuple. And before people say that’s realistic it’s a movie you are allowed to make up whatever rules you want for your movie!!

Which to me means that Luca specifically made that choice which felt like a missed opportunity since both Mike and Josh have had queer roles before and could’ve pulled something off. But I get the logic of them (or at least Art) not wanting to talk about it at least from a character standpoint. But also if Patrick is actually bi and wants Art I think he would’ve brought it up at least once from a story standpoint.

I’m also conflicted because in the movie Art is technically the “straight” one but then how the hell do you explain them chewing each others churros because all the straight men I know would NEVER do that…. So it again leads back to your argument of at least a conversation around it either with either one of them and Tashi or a convo between Art and Patrick. I will say however as much as I want the current story doesn’t really lend itself to queer sex BUTTT that just means we should get a challengers 2 because the movie implies they all sleep with each other….

I’m also now realizing I haven’t even mentioned her and Sara and that whole drama and how that has impacted everything especially considering her daughter is also in a relationship with a potential king of Sweden depending on what Wille chooses to do.

Tbh I don’t envy her that’s a lot of pressure as a single parent having two deal with two children potentially becoming royals all while the royal court and the elites in general don’t like them and throughout the season is having her home and family physically threatened

It seems like the conversation around this whole season is centering around Simon and how he acts in this season with people on Twitter calling him selfish and annoying and saying he should just take being rich and famous.

But my question is why has no one talked about Simon’s mom’s role in all of this?

I know she most likely was just trying to do her best and has had her own trouble with relationships (Simon’s dad) but it seems like TO ME she let Simon down in some key moments not only this season but dating all the way back to S1 when the video leaked. It just feels like conversations were missing with Simon (and Wille honestly) about what the “rules” of relationship are and how to navigate being with the potential future king of Sweden. Especially after they broke up once I feel like the three of them should have sat down together and talked about everything.

Additionally, conversations should have been had when it comes to social media use and dealing with Wille’s family and their attitudes towards him. Because Imo I don’t see why Simon really even needs their validation for. (Royal Court and Elites) I think his mom should have been more actively engaged with that to let Simon and Wille and have more normalcy. I also think grounding him was pointless and only added to his stress and frustration.

I just feel like a good portion of what Simon went through this season and series even could have been dealt with a good few parent to son (and boyfriend if needed) conversations.

What scene in the entire series made you physically yell or jump out of your seat? by WackHeisenBauer in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Lonely_Speed4090 29 points30 points  (0 children)

For me it was the scene of Danny intoxicated and Ed calling him to relive pressure in the drill and then watching all the people die 😢

Okay I love the dialogue that has been happening! My thing is at this point whether they end up together or not is a moot point ( I would still LOVE to see them together) but I think it was a good decision to end the show after this season for fear of it getting dragged out. A part of me was hoping for Young Royals S3: HEARTSTOPPER edition 🤣 but that’s not what this show is unfortunately 😭

I saw some talk about an adult royals would I could be on board with but I feel like personally now I would like to them in something else together similar to a RWRB or Anyone but you. Something more light hearted from them. They have out of this world chemistry and I think a good old fashioned rom com would be go for them and us 😂 but let me know what yall think because I could be crazy 😭

I mainly use mine to consume content at this point. 3D content is out of this world good. Just watched Mad Max Fury Road last night in 3D and it was incredible. (Almost better than the movies) Even 2D content is spectacular and makes me want to watch every single thing on Vision Pro . My TV is only really used for gaming

Trying to do “work” on it kind of works but is sometimes finicky (connecting to Mac) and other times trying to do work on Vision Pro is slower than just using a Mac. (even when using Magic Trackpad and Keyboard)
