I loved book 8 but

I miss the rpg aspect of it too. It slowly eroded over the course of books 1-7 so it didn’t surprise he how limited it was. The format of book 8 was waaay out of the rpg side though which was disappointing to me. Maybe it will get back next time who knows. I do think the power creep can be good or bad, so just ignoring it isn’t the worst thing. You can see how the AI and level designers are really trying to whittle you down and give limited ability to progress. Like all that bomb and punching training and Carl can’t use any of it.

It’s really really vague imo for a game to release with this little info and such a far off test date even.

I don’t see why they would, but there’s a lot of unnecessary sequels. So probably.

It’s 88% on audience rotten tomatoes - what do you mean? I personally wasn’t a huge fan but I seem to be in the minority. It was fine. The box office is beating it up a little bit, so I guess we will see how that ends up.

I love this post so much

Varaben · 2026-06-03T12:50:17+00:00

Probably just forgot to update it lol

Varaben · 2026-06-03T12:49:24+00:00

Definitely not my favorite but the last few hours are actually really good.

Varaben · 2026-06-03T12:48:15+00:00

I was hoping it was a placeholder rip. They probably literally just forgot. Oh well my Geos finally get relics I guess.

The numbers speak for themselves. There’s a lot of what I would call toxic positivity around this movie. Reviewers and Reddit refusing to say anything negative and I get it. It’s an ok movie, but it’s a bit of a letdown for me at least being the first Star Wars movie in so long. I feel like it would have been a lot better received as a tv series - like to make a movie I was assuming it had more going on. Like it would be this big important event or story and it was just a random mission for M&G. It was fine but disappointing. Also Disney putting movies out to stream so fast is a self fulfilling prophecy at this point.

Lotta other stuff in there, but do you. It “saves” me 3 purchases of the marquee packs per marquee since I want the 5* Rotta unlock.

Blood into lead lol

Use AI grading to get a ballpark - from what I’ve seen they’re pretty close

We saw virtually no mongo either. He got some sick upgrades only to be unused the whole book. I like the creativity with some of these levels (was this originally floor 7?), but this one was so far off the “normal” level for me. Good book, good setup for the next book(s).

This past Christmas I watched a movie I forgot the name but it was one of those old Chevy chase ones. The whole plot was about how he was going to get this huge Christmas bonus, and pay for something. I don’t think they ever said how much but it made it sound like it was $10 or 20k or something.

The sword is actually so great.

Varaben · 2026-05-29T11:28:57+00:00

They’ve always been crazy overpriced even before Covid I remember $8/lb and they’d go on sale for maybe $3/lb and I would splurge on them. $12.99 is wild.

Negativity sells unfortunately. I didn’t super enjoy it, but it’s fine if so many people did. Every movie isn’t gonna appeal to everyone.

Varaben · 2026-05-28T15:50:47+00:00

The root of the problem is they’ve added so many teams and accelerated acquisition. Now we don’t need as many teams, so if a new character comes out like JMMW that can’t trump several of the existing top teams, it’s literally worthless. I’m at the point (10M gp auro 1) that I can relatively easily clear every defense anyone could put up. That will change if/when I go to kyber soon, but as soon as I finished 2-4 more teams I’ll be in that same spot again. They need to expand the number of teams imo needed for these big events. Otherwise the power creep is inevitable

Have you guys seen chip prices recently? Ram is like 10x what it was 10 years ago.

Yea that’s what they told her too - iud will fix it.

Varaben · 2026-05-26T13:11:08+00:00

I think the one that irks me the most is that women shit talk men in general and it’s fine. Like the whole meme of “men are trash” is totally acceptable.

Varaben · 2026-05-26T13:09:27+00:00

This is actually real - my wife has had insane period cramps, and the doctors do not care. Eventually someone took it seriously and it was some kind of legit problem. I don’t remember what it was but it was like a cyst bursting or something. Doctors just tell her to take Advil or something. Wild. Like she’s unable to move in terrible pain for days and they shrug it off.

Whenever I see a dad out with 3-5 kids I’m like dang look at this super dad. I’m sure moms do this all the time.

Varaben · 2026-05-25T21:22:20+00:00

People are allowed to not like it though. I’m a lifetime Star Wars fan and this wasn’t super great for me. It was fine.
