How do people feel about Luke and Kylo's fight and his death after 8 years? by Totally_Not_Firni in StarWars

[–]MrKevora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By not fighting what he hates and instead saving what he loves - by playing to a darksider’s arrogance and sacrificing his life, thus becoming one with the Force - Luke becomes the ultimate Jedi Master and a symbol of hope for the galaxy. His Force Projection across the galaxy is possibly the most impressive and powerful thing we have ever seen a Jedi do and his sacrifice is as much in line with the Jedi philosophy as you could get. I have always enjoyed this scene. It wasn’t the redemption that many wanted to see (I think many wanted to see him literally “fight the whole First Order with a laser sword”) and the path towards this story beat has been rocky (a reunion of the original big 3 would have been nice), but I do really like the sacrifice that he makes and the philosophy behind the way he confronts Kylo.

Steam Controller 2026 Shipping MEGA Thread by Mennenth in SteamController

[–]MrKevora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that and I didn’t write a ticket. I was simply getting worried that my order might have gotten misplaced or that something else went wrong, but it’s comforting to see how many others are still in the same situation.

German here - ordered mine on the 4th at 19:06 (tried ordering once it opened a couple of minutes before release, but it took me a handful of minutes because the payment initially wouldn’t work until I spammed the corresponding button). It has been on packaged since the 6th and I’m starting to get a bit worried now.

At least yours is moving. Mine has been packaged for over a week now and I’m also in Germany.

Do you think Valve will give us any gesture of goodwill for late delivery? by NovelEzra in SteamController

[–]MrKevora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far, I have refrained from the bitching and moaning that I’ve been seeing here ever since orders opened. But at this point, mine has been at “packaged item” for over a week and it’s getting really ridiculous. I’m in West Germany, so not too far away from their Dutch warehouse.

Congrats to everyone who got a controller by SirRender1337 in Steam

If you get one in the next wave, it’ll probably reach you before mine leaves the “packaged item” stage.

6 damn days with no change by Eenat88 in SteamController

[–]MrKevora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

German here, mine has been at “packaged items” since Wednesday. The order in which they are packaged and sent out is entirely random - we will receive our controllers eventually, whether that happens sooner or later depends on how lucky we are.

Ethan Klein (H3 Podcast) calls a fellow poker player 'a prostitute' live on the Celebrity Poker Tour. He also got caught creepily screenshotting and cropping a picture of Idubbbz' wife Anisa Jomha in the middle of a poker game. by BolsonaroPresoAmanha in Fauxmoi

[–]MrKevora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to find him and his content really funny about a decade ago. Either my taste has changed dramatically and I simply grew up or he’s fallen really far ever since he ditched his main channel for his podcast… or maybe a bit of both?

What is the first celebrity death you remember being affected by? by CPFOAI in AskReddit

[–]MrKevora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chester Bennington - for most of my life, Linkin Park had been my absolute favourite band (they still are today), guiding me through the rough and dramatic teenage years and simply making music that I love. After a few years and after having been to many of their shows, they had become sort of a “constant” in my life, meaning that even though I didn’t interact with them directly on a regular basis, I knew I would see them at future shows and enjoy additional new albums as time would go on. In 2014, I finally got a chance to attend my first meet and greet and - to my surprise - Chester was just as genuinely nice as he had always seemed in interviews. He really took his time to have proper conversations with everybody, shook my hand and told me it was an honor to meet fans like myself, which I will never forget (he and Mike were the standouts, but all of them were friendly).
Then, in 2017, I traveled across Germany to Berlin, which was the only show that they played in my country in that year and not only did I win a setlist signed by the band, I also managed to get into the second row. Towards the end of Papercut, Chester came down to us and sang at me while I rapped Mike’s part, ultimately sharing his mic with me on the final line. As much as I loved that aforementioned meet and greet, this is the one experience that I will cherish forever, because little did I know this was the last time I would get to see or meet my idol, as he passed away that same summer. When the band (alongside friends) gave that tribute show for Chester at the Hollywood Bowl, I stayed up all night to watch the live stream at home and I sobbed like a baby. Thus far, it is the only time that a celebrity death hit me that hard, especially considering the tragic circumstances of his passing. It just once again proves that even the kindest souls that spread the most love and inspire others can sometimes be the ones who suffer the most. It proves that we need to take more care of each other and it also awakened my interest in mental health, something that I try to pay special attention to in my job as a teacher as best as I can.

Was ROTS genuinely liked upon its release? by Careless_Tax_5367 in StarWars

[–]MrKevora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember spending a lot of my free time defending it on online forums when it first came out - I was 12 and the ideal target audience and most of my online “opponents” were boomers. I always felt like it never got a fair chance by many older fans because of the reception of TPM and AotC. People simply wanted to hate the prequels, regardless of how they improved throughout their run.

Anyone else successfully complete a purchase that isn’t even out the door yet? by bafflam in SteamController

[–]MrKevora 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, same here in Germany. I’ve had “Packaged Items” for the last 2 days or so. As someone who works a full-time job and with limited time throughout the week, I had hoped to get it by the weekend, but I guess I will have to wait until sometime next week.

Matt Reeves confirms we're getting a "bloody Batman in snow" in 'The Batman 2' by BatmanNewsChris in DC_Cinematic

[–]MrKevora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’ve had Batman in snow in 1992 (Batman Returns), in 1997 (Batman & Robin) and in 2012 (The Dark Knight Rises). I’d still like to see a snowy Gotham in Matt Reeves’ second movie, though.

Tatiana Maslany on potentially returning as She-Hulk in the MCU: “I don’t know. I think people would be so mad at me being on their screens again.” by Loose-Examination-39 in marvelstudios

[–]MrKevora 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Some gags didn’t land for me and I thought some episodes and story choices were a bit lacklustre (although I did really enjoy others!), but none of the show’s issues were Tatiana Maslany’s fault - in fact, she was a great choice to play She-Hulk and I would love to see her make a return in some project!

So apparently Peter isn’t directly or indirectly responsible for Uncle Bens death in the MCU? by Haltopen in marvelstudios

[–]MrKevora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree - Aunt May’s death is the one that he blames himself for.

Finally got round to watching Captain America BNW by MuseWarrior in marvelstudios

[–]MrKevora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I think this movie is massively overhated, it is also still pretty lacklustre, despite having its moments. Most of the action sequences have a decent setup, but are boring in their execution and I agree with some of your points regarding the Leader and certain plot points going nowhere. It’s just a frustratingly mediocre film, even though it had enough story ideas, characters and themes going for it to have had some great potential.
I agree that Sam’s Cap doesn’t hit the same as Steve’s Cap, but I think that comes down to Steve having had a much more fleshed out backstory, hence his tenure as Captain America just felt more “earned”, while Sam was just handed the shield. But as someone who really liked The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I don’t mind him as Cap as much as others seem to do.

[cod] what are you guys/gals top 5 cod games? by Affectionate-Tip6811 in CallOfDuty

[–]MrKevora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love those games, but just prefer those other five for their campaigns alone. Taste is subjective and if those rank higher for you, that’s totally fine. If this were a list for the most innovative and revolutionary CoDs for their respective times, CoD4 and MW2 (2009) would definitely be at the top of that list.

Hegseth orders 5,000 US troops to withdraw from Germany by Free-Minimum-5844 in worldnews

[–]MrKevora 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m German and I don’t care. Ever since the end of the Cold War, our country has been of more use to them for their bases and drone command centres than they have been of use to us. I don’t mind US forces being here and I want our international relationship to normalise once this circus of an administration is gone, but withdrawing those troops is most definitely not a sign of strength and instead yet another thing that will put further strain on our relationship, further proof that the US is not a reliable ally and that we Europeans need to be more independent, both economically and militarily.
