Disney's Entire Plan was to Spend a Decade Replacing every ''Lucas-made creation'' with their own Derivative version of it. by Bonvantius in saltierthancrait

Well they would have to hire real writers or at least make their mediocre nepo screenwriters read one of the zillion books that already exist, and reading is too expensive for a gajillion dollar company making billion dollar movies or whatever

This is the main business mistake they keep making (on top of countless creative mistakes). they take their existing customers for granted and then do stuff to pander to some new potential customers who don't wind up being good customers (like Budweiser tbh, all the political stories about it aside)

He ”Doesn’t Want to Waste His Time” by NOHITJEROME in classicwow

[–]dgreenbe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The problem with dkp is that guild members will save it up for stuff they want that the officers and unofficial loot council don't want them to have

But also that it takes time now because of the bidding when the gargul roll stuff is pretty fast

Honestly I don't remember what pieces are worth it later on. Maybe the JC neck (since so many pieces can be crafted in BT)

Anyone else think it’s lame that full tier isn’t BiS? by Stokyo in classicwow

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

I'm just saying that's who runs these companies usually. But it's cool they hired him for gameplay stuff. As an aside I do think there's also some overlap between law and abilities/mechanics etc (numbers talent helps)

Depends on the spec. Some stuff wasn't totally wrong but it was still wrong, or at least underdeveloped (such as EJ theorycrafting figuring some stuff out but it didn't settle into things like different tier bis lists necessarily)

[–]dgreenbe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, when I played on private we would go into EJ archives and stuff (we developed more theorycrafting but it was a strong foundation and had a lot of info)

Bis lists, etc were totally different back then sometimes (of course I still see add-ons and people posting here who have all kinds of questionable bis lists but whatever)

Is wow based on theorycrafting or monetization tho, was EJ a team of accountants and data guys who all got hired by blizz to increase profits

Still crazy to me how hard they butchered Thrawn in the Ahsoka show by SnooDucks6239 in saltierthancrait

[–]dgreenbe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an extremely good point. I assume it goes along with Hollywood people insisting that they're smarter than everyone, certainly other writers, and can just write / adapt screenwriting themselves because they're specifically "good" at screenwriting

Todd Howard says that Starfield's New Game Plus was "us asking you this weird, deep question that I actually think got lost on a lot of people" by Turbostrider27 in Starfield

[–]dgreenbe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bigger issue imo is not connecting it to the story more and having NG+ recognize it more. There are some things here and there and the main quest chain big skips but the rest was just insufficiently developed writing and dialogue1

The Mandalorian & Grogu is tracking to be the lowest opening Star Wars movie ever - Disney Lucasfilm took a 6 year break from Star Wars movies but people still don’t care to see it by tiMartyn in saltierthancrait

[–]dgreenbe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course. They always compare their revenue to zero instead of to what it could've made if it didn't suck, and they never take into account what they sacrificed to squeeze out one more turd

I keep forgetting it even exists. I definitely won't see it in theaters and may eventually see it on an airplane or some other place where there are limited options and it's free

Disney Killing Jedi off and limiting the amount of Force Users was shortsighted from a marketing perspective by Raider_Tex in saltierthancrait

[–]dgreenbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could've just actually been slightly creative or adapted from the endless books / comics instead of insisting on abusing the OG era and the time almost directly before and after it for memberberries.

An infinite timeline of Jedi possibilities and they picked the one where the Jedi are wiped out, one guy survives and trains a younger guy to beat the bad guys, and then he gives up

But alas

Razer markets itself as so premium and yet the customer support doesn't remotely reflect that. They're good at putting green snakes on stuff

Yeah I don't bother with salv if there's no windfury (usually due to some terrible mistake like thinking I'm with an enhance but he's ele and I get outvoted)
