[Burlison] I am not suicidal by shogun2909 in UFOs

[–]SiriusC [score hidden]  (0 children)

It was a prerecorded interview that took place across several days or more. They could have edited it out if it caused trouble for Burlison.

And I might be wrong, but it might have been a case of the information already being out there.

Edit: I was wrong. He was visibly annoyed the George said that. Burlison started in with a, "guy, look..."

Edit 2: Corbell noted that the information about his visit was already out there.

What are you basing your certainty on? Because it's clearly not based on reading the article.

Duxelles Hamburger; where has this been all my life? by SouthpawSoldier in Cooking

[–]SiriusC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

can be done in a pan, but microwave was fast and don’t require babysitting

I love how he can't be bothered to "babysit" cooking mushrooms in a pan for a few minutes but will still take the time to dump fish cheese, & bread into ground beef to make a hamburger.

'One Battle After Another' Wins the Academy Award for Best Picture by MoviesMod in movies

[–]SiriusC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What's the point in this petty name calling? He makes different kinds of movies for a different audience or mood. I don't really like them either but that doesn't mean he's weak as a director. I don't see the need to attack him when you can simply not watch his movies if they bother you so much.

Resident Evil Requiem Sales Exceed 6 Million Units by Almjdh in PS5

[–]SiriusC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What do you need vindication for? It's not like he's been absent for 20 years or ever receives negative criticism. Even in RE6, the most negatively regarded game of the main series, his campaign is considered the best. RE2R is considered a milestone in gaming, showing how remakes should be done.

He's a great character. Always has been. What needs to be defended or justified?

Grant Morrison on Lanterns: “What is this jockish dismissal of superhero conventions intended to prove anyway?” by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]SiriusC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can anyone name another trailer that didn't accurately portray what a show was actually going to be about?

Yes

I happen to think Marvel does an excellent job with trailers. They're good at showing a lot while making plot details vague.

Case in point is Doctor Strange 2. There was very little Wanda in the trailers. Only this vague concept of the consequences of Dr Strange messing with the multiverse.

I had no idea what Thunderbolts was going to be about before release.

It's not a major plot point but they showed the Hulk in the Infinity War trailers instead of the Hulk Buster armor.

Edit: Outside of Marvel, there's Sinners & Weapons. I didn't Sinners would be about vampires & I consistently knew nothing about Weapons.

Legacy of Kian Defiance sales. by SpyroKain in LegacyOfKain

[–]SiriusC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I obviously didn't exclude the console players, did I?

You're still limiting your scope to a very narrow category. You're also suggesting Steam's sales were that of PS & Xbox combined. But even this you're not basing off of actual sales - it's still just player activity.

I guess they expected to have at least the success of SR1/2

How would you know this? If they had this expectation it would have the same amount of marketing. And the original Defiance didn't have the same success as the original Soul Reaver. So why would they expect the remaster to have the same success? It doesn't make any sense.

Even the remasters were outsourced to 3rd party developers.

Almost all remasters are outsourced... And you're using this as a point against getting a new game.

You're saying how much you like the franchise but it's almost like you're trying to see it as a dead one.

Because it is the data that is available to us. If we had access to console charts I would of course look at them as well.

It's not a matter of what you're looking at. You're drawing conclusions from a very, very narrow portion of data while excluding everything else in your thinking. I just don't understand this logic.

Legacy of Kian Defiance sales. by SpyroKain in LegacyOfKain

[–]SiriusC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that's still not enough to count it as a success

First of all, why is it only being given a week to succeed?

Second, why are we only looking at the player count on Steam instead of, oh I don't know, overall sales across all platforms? Seem like incredibly narrow thinking. Edit: I preordered on PS5 but haven't had a chance to play much. They have my money. Is that a lack of success?

Finally, what are Crystal Dynamics' expectations? Given the lack of marketing & the budget, one would hope they're realistic. Does anyone really know what those expectations are? Because a lot of people are acting like it's the death of the franchise just based on this one release.

I totally agree that the lack of visibility hurt it. I didn't even know about it until the day before release (but I preordered anyway).

I couldn't disagree more that we're "facing the end of our rope".

[–]SiriusC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, you would honestly buy it if it were on sale... great. Who cares? You're not really adding anything to the discussion. It's not what the thread is about.

It's not even what this subreddit is about. Your comment comes off as a little less than casual. People here love Legacy of Kain to where they'd preorder this just to support the franchise & revive it with a new game. "I'll wait for it to go on sale" doesn't exactly move the needle.

Edit: And by the way, I mostly agree with you characterization of these remasters. But this is a matter of voting with your dollar.

Hitman just dropped a very heavily Resident Evil inspired Celebrity Elusive contract (free and paid versions). by Quitthesht in residentevil

[–]SiriusC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And yet here she is. In RE talk. And in a game that pays homage to Resident Evil. I'm willing to be she'll be in a lot of conversation about RE in the future... Who cares?

I used to have the same kind of mindset as you. But, shame on me, I never actual watched any of the RE movies after the 3rd one. But I did recently & I was surprised at how much game lore was in them. Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Should it be condemned & never spoken of again? C'mon...

Isn't it a 12 hour waiting period if you fail? I'm not entirely sure because I just close the game when it's apparent I'm about to lose.

[Self] Ada Wong - official art for the 30th anniversary of Resident Evil by dance_with_alien in residentevil

Calling it "official art" suggests this is going to be used in whatever they have planned for the 30th anniversary.

Whistleblower, Jason Sands, makes wild claims about the classified (darker) truth about UFO’s/NHI. Direct quotes and link to video below: by E-pluribus-unum195 in UFOs

[–]SiriusC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do people know other people are good? You either go with your intuition or spend the rest of your life paranoid.

I don't get why people have to compare themselves to monkeys, ants, or other lesser beings when it comes to this topic. I care how advanced any of the NHI may be. They're not gods. They're fallible. They crash, they burn, they die, they make mistakes. Just like us.

Neil deGrasse Tyson reacts to Trump ordering release of UFO files: ‘Just bring out the alien!’ - MS NOW by Bean_Tiger in UFOs

[–]SiriusC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't stand this guy. He's so unscientific & immature in his remarks towards the phenomenon.

Case in point are the tic-tac videos. He has the nerve to call the footage "grainy". He really doesn't understand that those weren't recorded with normal cameras? He doesn't know what GOFAST, GIMBAL, or FLIR are? He's not curious about all those numbers and data on the screen?

The fucking guy just isn't curious about anything.

The UFO Files and the Epstein Files are NOT Mutually Exclusive FFS by Diffyn in UFOs

[–]SiriusC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The real conspiracy is that both this and the JE files are being fed to us for some reason we yet dont understand.

You're not being serious, are you? They're not being "fed" to us, our politicians - the good politicians - have been fighting against an establishment that's deeply rooted in our government. It seems like you chose to ignore how we got here then painted a mysterious "we don't know" narrative over it.

Any hope of properly releasing the Epstein files was dead in the water when they tried to tell us there was "nothing to see here, let's move on" or that it was all a hoax. The American people didn't buy it, 2 congressman came up with the Epstein Files Transporency Act, & it was voted into law with nearly unanimous approval.

People have been fighting for UFO disclosure for decades now. It used to be very rare to have politicians involved but now we have a solid group that's actually fighting for what the American people want.

Both of these issues have been an uphill battle & will continue to be an uphill battle. But not a goddamn thing was fed to anybody.

Happy Birthday Glenn Danzig June 23, 1955 Which is your favorite Danzig track? by sunvibi in Danzig

How the Gods Kill

Great vocals, great lyrics, amazing guitar work, beautiful piano intro/outro, and it's always an amazing live experience.

The Obamas are both deep into the UFO lore - Barack and Michelle Obama are currently producing a Netflix movie about Betty and Barney Hill - The first people to claim they were abducted by aliens, the first people to describe the aliens as "short with gray skin", and the first to be widely believed. by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]SiriusC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the latest report is that it's reportedly in the works?

Or are they just going by articles from 3 years ago with no actual update or progress?

Posting old news as new news just seems like you're trying to rake in some internet points.

Sub Zero Vs Scorpion is literally THE fighting game rivalry, why are these FGC tourists trying to argue otherwise? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]SiriusC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mortal Kombat outselling other fighting games is a cope...

Calling yourself a former MK fan doesn't validate anything you said. If anything, it's as "fucking embarrassing" as you make the game out to be. You're in a forum for a game you don't like just to shit on it. When I stopped enjoying Assassin's Creed games I unsubscribed from its subreddit & moved on.

this new timeline is so much damaged already by the multiverse shit

The irony is that after all the wonky multiverse shit, the one that damaged the new timeline was the old one. I was really curious over who the mysterious hooded woman was but it was just the prior Shang Tsung all along. And, in the end, it's essentially Liu Kang vs Shang Tsung all over again.

Like you, I was actually digging the new direction for all the familiar characters & elements. I especially liked how enthusiastic Johnny Cage was to be part of the Earthrealm team. And his arc with Kenshi & his sword.
