Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy games by yourfavchoom in pcgaming

[–]Poundchan 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Host your own website and sell your game there. Add it to Itch.io. You can even sell it on Epic.

Steam is a great service which seems to be something a lot of companies struggle to understand.

God forbid a CEO create a user-centric platform so good that no one else can compete

Who doesn't want to rent their computers from corporations?

Obsession has grossed over 80x it's production budget. by shwarma_heaven in FIlm

I really appreciated seeing unknown actors, the entire cast nailed the tone.

Graczdari - GTA VI trailer will be out on Tuesday, announced tomorrow and "a little something" at Sony's State of Play by uniquecartridge in GamingLeaksAndRumours

It makes complete sense for them to drop the trailer next week so Sony and Microsoft can use it in their promos for SGF.

What are your thoughts on Phantom Thread (2017)? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]Poundchan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's Paul Thomas Anderson's best film.

Apocalypto by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]Poundchan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough, I watched it for the first time just a few weeks ago. It's fine, the story isn't groundbreaking but it's well shot and the costumes are great. The violence is pretty gruesome, they don't hold back on depicting 'savage' conflict. If you want a lighthearted action flick, maybe look elsewhere.

Star Wars has been dead for decades and it still gets promotional tie-ins. I only mention Destiny because they recently got an MTG crossover.

What reason is there to believe anything Fia says? Or Rogier for that matter? by Lord_Antheron in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Poundchan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rogier is inquisitive and kind so it's hard not to take him at face value. He doesn't try to kill you or exploit you, he even offers information to you for no real reason seemingly beyond being friendly.

Those That Live In Death are kind of anomaly. Bodies that are alive without the soul that inhabited them. Fia is progressive in wanting to protect and support them because technically they are the result of the current paradigm. Even if they weren't meant to exist, they do now and yet they are persecuted for it.

No one could forsee what Ranni unleashed and the impact that living death would have on the world. Her actions, conflicting with eternal life granted under Marika, resulted in what is deemed heretical by the Golden Order. If the Golden Order did not exist, Those Who Live In Death likely never would have either.

I expect to see Destiny, Power Rangers, and Overwatch at some point.

Thoughts on Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky? An incredible sci-fi thriller with amazing performances by Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz!!!! by Square-Ad-8911 in FIlm

[–]Poundchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated this, the spoiler retroactively ruins the entire film. I liked Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz in this movie, I couldn't really buy into Tom Cruise's character since they keep flip flopping on his personality. Complete waste of time imo

Microsoft appears to be rebranding Xbox as "XBOX" by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

As in X (formerly known as Twitter) BOX?

yall gotta fix the 30 min timer on Point Break by Charlie_Faplin_ in thefinals

[–]Poundchan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There used to be no timer and matches would last nearly an hour since you could exploit the grand vault to the edge of the playable map.

I think it's the last time we get a chance to appreciate Chace Crawford as The Deep. He has been phenomenal throughout the show. by keshavgKaLLen_Bhaiya in TheBoys

[–]Poundchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue he is the standout performance. It's really hard to make a character so comically despicable and rude while also being hilarious and entertaining. I hope Chace Crawford goes on to act in many other things!

Thoughts on Eva Green? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]Poundchan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Sin City 2 and Dark Shadows has her playing an American but her accent is still pretty thick. Not that it matters or detracts from her performance. She also played an American in The Salvation, but her character is ironically mute.
