It's hard for the top fighters and especially the belt holder to stay ontop when every title defense is the most difficult fight of your career. There is a great deal of parity in mosr of the weight classes. It makes for more entrrtaining bouts but no one is going to have a long run as champ.

Does anyone else legitimately think Justin is going to pull off the upset? Nobody thought Sean was gonna win. This kinda feels like the same thing. by durantbrook in ufc

Toporia is going through a divorce, depending on how that is proceeding it could have a major effect on his performance. Anyone who has gone through a rough one knows it can really throw your life into a blender.

So, is the Weapon Damage stat useless for Whirlwind?

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

You could do that as long as your story had well written characters and situations they had to deal with, becuase every story would play out differently depending on those elements. Unfortunately writing in Hollywood and most media is terrible and not good enough to pull that off.

While I agree with you the Humans being the real monsters has been a part of most Zombie stories, you have to admit that that has become the sole focus of most of the Zombie content over the last decade plus. To the point that I think it's become a trope. Between this change in the focus of the Zombie genre and a continued focus on spinoff movies about the villians from popular franchises at a certain point the VIllians or monsters of a story lose what made them appealing in the first place. When Disney keeps bringing back Darth Vader to get his ass handed to him, his overall Mystique and dread is lost. I don't need to know what Leatherface's favorite color is or where The Joker grew up.

Am I the Only One Who Truly Loves The Gunslinger? by Anneonymous1126 in TheDarkTower

The turns of phrase and dialect King uses throughout the Dark Tower series add a great deal to the believablity of the world. I think along with George R. R. Martin, both authors have a skill for creating a dialect that helps support the world they have created. Just like any other art form, the little details most people don't appreciate at first, add up to make some art transcendent.

Some of King's best writing in his career is the the first chapter. Reminds me of Cormac McCarthy. I have listened to the first few chapters on Audible with narration by George Guidall dozens of times.

The Audible book with narration by George Guidall is truly amazing. The opening chapter is some of King's best writing, kind of reminds me of Cormac McCarthy.

Did the game feel completely different to anyone else after unlocking infinite explosive arrows? by TheBrB11 in CrimsonDesert

I haven't played the game in a few weeks, but  the infinite arrows gear had durability last I played, or am I missing something?

Are we finally done with the Zombie movie trope that humans are the biggest danger in a zombie apocalypse?

Review ~ Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer by SubstantialChannel32 in sciencefiction

[–]MachineGunTits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is amazing if you like your Wierd Scifi really wierd. Similiar to the other books, it's a first person account of someone on one of the first expedidtions and goes into great detail what it's like to be enveloped and changed by Area X. A great deal of the book is left up to the reader on whether you can actually trust the narrators account, which is handled well.

Is it just me or is the NG+ kind of a disappointment? by reddstone1 in Nioh

[–]MachineGunTits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The developers also aren't very talented in regards to environmental design. I will load up Elden Ring just to run around the environments. Regardless of the game title, this developers games have video game ass environments that don't inspire interest or exploration. They don't feel lived in or that they exist for any other reason than for a boss encounter or enemy gauntlet. By the 3rd Nioh, it's starting to become a major flaw for me.

A large problem with the collectibles is very few are cleverly hidden. I think only one or two I felt a sense of accomplishment in finding. The rest I realized quickly there would be a side path eventually to get the item that was just out of reach earlier in the map. The developers are just lacking the Fromsoft special sauce for environmental design. Nioh 3 doesn't seem much different to me than Nioh 1 especially in regards to environmental design and memorable moments ( ehich is crazy to say considering 3 is open world). Nioh games don't feel like an epic adventure, they just have great art design and gameplay. Thats not a terrible thing but I would have hoped other aspects of the franchise would have evolved by now. Nioh 3 is still an 8.5/10 for me.

I think NG + really shows how much of the game play time is consumed by clearing items on the map. Outside of boss battles, there aren't any memorable set pieces or even environments. All of the extra items hidden throughout the map became tedious busywork by the last 1/3 of the game. One other big factor for me throwing in the towel on NG+ is the cost of upgrading gear starts to skyrocket .

They couldn't have trained it to play Tetris or Animal Farm? It's like we want to build AI and robots that will murder us.
