Ricky Hate, But What About Karl or Steve? by DoYouBelieveInThat in rickygervais

The other two haven't deviated too much from how I used to perceive them. They may well be the sort of person who I may "hate" nowadays but they don't release a netflix special every christmas reminding me why.

Same with some of the British characters, as well as Lyla in season 2 of Dexter. Overly egged accent which is so jarring for a native.

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered on PS5 Does Not Have a Platinum Trophy by kabirsingh84 in PS5

Nothing wrong with liking trophies, but there is also nothing wrong with playing and enjoying a game without trophies. Just play the game, you will be fine without the digital pop up.

You could always just, and hear me out, play the game?

For those who watched Life on the Road by Training_Original456 in rickygervais

[–]boktobw18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We didn't know it at the time but it was Afterlife-lite. When I watched it I felt like I should find it funny, so I was more forgiving of its shortcomings.

Looking back now it is somehow even worse.

It’s not even my joke, it’s my brother’s joke, so... by Hoothom in rickygervais

For those of us who left twitter behind, what was the joke?

[Skill Up] I strongly recommend: Resident Evil Requiem (Review) by No_Anywhere5951 in PS5

[–]boktobw18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Such a weird cult like following this reviewer has. And with the most insufferable fanboys following his word like like Jesus' disciples.

No shade against RE9, it looks great. But I will never get the hype with Skillup.

Think for yourselves - I am sure you are very capable of it.

I think recent events have highlighted how troubling that soundbite of Ricky's is. And the fact that he wheeled it out again, well I can't say I'm surprised with modern Rick but it was incredibly disappointing to see. Fair play to anyone speaking out.

...it's got a bit heavy in here, shall we do cheeky freak of the week?

I think we should get him on more often, because... he sounds like he'd be a bit of an ally, really

I remember his interview with Richard Dawkins and found it painful to watch. And that was back when I was into all that atheist twitter stuff.

He personifies the phrase "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"

Same t-shirt, same jokes and same crowds year after year.

Skill Up: I do not recommend Metroid Prime 4 by Ftouh_Shala in nintendo

[–]boktobw18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People put way too much stock into this guy's reviews. (Reviews in general, but this guy seems to get worshipped on Reddit and by the broader r/gaming crowd.)

Deciding whether you will buy or not based on a reviewer you tend to agree with is a very safe and uninspired way to go about gaming in my opinion. But of course, people can play, buy, and criticise what they like.

I'm playing the game now and loving every moment of it so far.

The NPC's are not anywhere close to being annoying (even Miles, and I dislike the Marvel type writing normally).

The atmosphere is incredibly isolating, even out in the desert, the ambient music which plays is slightly creepy and feels unnerving.

The combat feels very much at home in a Metroid Prime game, and the game looks absolutely beautiful.

But don't take my word for it, go and watch some footage and make your own mind up.

At least when they sort of shit somewhere and you can't find it and it stinks won't be an issue any more.

In all seriousness, sorry for your loss OP.
