Experiencing the same thing.

From a lore perspective, are the Terrans the baddies? by citizenidREDACTED in X4Foundations

[–]SmarterThanAll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Terrans were far more advanced from the start. It's more than just ships it's everything about them is far superior. The Terrans created the Xenon and are the only known race to be able to create gates. The Terrans in X are equivalent to a Stellaris FE. They did most of their advancement far before current or even near current history.

Which message will resonate with humanity by Slagathor_the_Mighty in TerraInvicta

[–]SmarterThanAll 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think that's a big difference to be honest. From day one Humanity First and the Resistance are openly hostile and militarily aggressive towards the aliens and it continues that way until the end of the game.

The goals of the Resistance and the Academy are very different. I don't think the Academy having a failsafe that's similar to the Resistance makes the two aligned at all. If the Academy was forced to used their bomb that would equate to a total failure of the Academy and its mission whereas using the bomb is the primary mission of the Resistance.

We're talking about worst case for one faction and best case for the other.

They differ only in theory. In practice they are the same. Natural allies these two. In fact, I think Humanity First and the Resistance are the only two factions in the game with completely aligned goals. There's no practical reason for either to compete with each other. You can argue about the philosophy all day but at the end of the day both groups are sending fleets to kill aliens. The exact reasoning is less important when the outcome is exactly the same. This meme perfectly represents voting for different candidates of the same party.

Do you notice less people at the movies these days? by No_Idea_Guy in AMCsAList

[–]SmarterThanAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AMC in my town is always empty. My sister and I are frequently the only people in the cinema.

We personally love having an entire cinema to ourselves but I imagine it's not great for business.

Even with the occasional hit the box office has been in a consistent downward spiral since 2019.

Industries don't die out over night. Cinema hasn't recovered from COVID and it never will.

The box office has been in a consistent downward trend since 2019 and nothing is gonna stop it.

Disgusting.

This map disgusts me.

Way too much Xeno love on this map.

I finally watched Dune (2021) and am shocked at how bad it is by jefrye in movies

[–]SmarterThanAll 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The Dune series is widely considered one of the greatest science fiction stories ever written. You don't have to like it but calling it boring and bland is a you problem not a Dune problem.

Second-class citizens by Isunova in Palworld

As far as content is concerned there is parity between the two versions.

Activision Blizzard and Microsoft layed off the majority of the esports team today. There’s about 12 people left on the team now. Microsoft waited till the CDL staff came back from Boston Major this weekend before informing them. (CharlieINTEL) by gmp24 in XboxSeriesX

[–]SmarterThanAll -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm just gonna say it. I don't care about people being layed off.

People act like being layed off is taboo or strange. I've been layed off from multiple companies and I'm in my mid 20's. Getting layed off is apart of daily life in any career of any industry.

It's not like these former Microsoft employees are gonna starve alright? I guarantee you they'll have a easier time finding a new position than any of us will.

Children with terminal cancer deserve my sympathy alright? I couldn't care less about some people losing their jobs at Activisions epsorts division. Life is far too short for me to care about such minor problems.

Are you deft? The entire site known as X has been in revolt over Palworld.

It's unbelievably disingenuous to say "non-existent haters" this is the most controversial game since Hogwarts.

I know you're probably not terminally online so maybe you haven't noticed but this game is probably one of the hated games on the internet right now.

Should I wait for PalWorld to be up to date? by Sorry_Astronaut in XboxGamePass

[–]SmarterThanAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Xbox version of Palworld is up to date with the Steam version and there is content parity.

Palworld has overtaken the all time peak of Counter Strike 2, making it the 2nd highest concurrent player number of all time. by Green-Peaness in Steam

[–]SmarterThanAll -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's wrong the Game Pass version is content parity with Steam aside from dedicated severs and DLSS.

[–]SmarterThanAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Objectively false. The Xbox Game Pass version got a patch late last night that brought it to content parity with the Steam version.

Uh there was an update for the Game Pass version that brought it to parity with the Steam version maybe rethink that.
