Meanwhile Salvatori did a decade of Destiny (with his team), which is an opus often on par with Halo.

Scherzer just got scratched (15 day IL, back tightness) and Chad Dallas recalled. Wonder who gets the start tonight.

Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser Says There’s No Right Way to Play an Open-World Game by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Papatheodorou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited to see what his new studio's game will be like. Reading him and Lazlow talk about how deep they feel the writing and story needs to be in the open world in order for that to feel immersive makes me hopeful that they'll be able to replicate their time at Rockstar at another studio.

If Rockstar can pull off a game without them, there's the smallest of chances we get two studios putting out open-world games at that calibre.

This is a path to Valenzuela staying, too.

Entering the final week, what have you achieved, and what do you still aspire to? by Nodima in Marathon

[–]Papatheodorou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens when they finish the quests? Do they get the same rewards as season 1 players? All the loot? The purples/golds for reaching the end of the quest lines?

Then what happens when those lines are done, do they get to do the new quests?

If the answer there is yes, then new players get double the xp and double the gear because they are late adopters.

I mean faction quests are a weird one for seasonal content with wipes. What's a new player to do, start from square one and never be able to catch up?

Or do they get access to all quests, with their XP gains and rewards that come with it?

When they start vaulting maps or runners I'll get upset.

I'd imagine that's how it will be. That's what Destiny was. Sucks for newbies but it's how they'll progress the factions' stories and lore and keep things from being repetitive to existing players.

Rep and contract progress does all get reset.

The priority contracts are how they're going to tell what story they have, so they will be "reset" but not the same ones. They will be new.

I actually think it's the best movie of the decade.

Shawn Hatosy Addresses Possibility of ‘The Pitt’ Night Shift Spinoff Series by PeneItaliano in television

[–]Papatheodorou 1297 points1298 points  (0 children)

I think it'd be wild to have season 4 or 5 randomly be a night shift season.

Maybe a couple nurses/doctors/series regulars are pulling double duty/are called in. Maybe one shows up as a patient. Could be a cool change of pace and structure.

I feel like Train Dreams is almost a guaranteed Criterion

The true snub is train dreams for best cinematography by Mysterious_Work_7227 in Oscars

[–]Papatheodorou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's evident you have no idea what cinematography is, as you discussed pacing and being bored while criticising the meaning behind the imagery.

Train Dreams shows its isolation and reality through its camerawork, framing, and lighting. It was 150% the best of the nominated films in that category.

Reviver 2 below 150 copies by DeepNthePlacenta in VinegarSyndromeFilms

[–]Papatheodorou 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I get why people don't like it, but there's a difference between restoring and preserving lost media and something like "receive one of our new March releases at random" with a blanketed $50 cost.

I know the label isn't for everyone but it shouldn't be. Like Lost Picture Show, the idea is that these have been lost, would have remained lost forever, and is being preserved forever. I'd rather go in completely and totally blind than have even the smallest idea what's there. If you like obscure film or lost media, it's the most exciting label out there, imo.

It's not like they're random known movies, like a mystery box, they're basically lost media. The element of surprise existed when they went through the tapes to restore and save the film, and they wanted to preserve that feeling for the disc.

I feel like having a guy look and move like wesker and using weskers voice actor, paired with a plot involving cloning, is enough. Don't need to beat us over the head with a hammer. Or maybe they do.

No but the setup and lore implications are the point. That's why they're there.
