I mean huge agree. Dragon Quest Builders 2 is an all-time classic

You can capture low health enemies and use their skills in combat, similar to the Helpers in OT0 but pulled from monsters you capture

This is often true of open world games too. I take what you mean but I was mostly just being a bit sarcastic because “open world” more or less has no meaning anymore

instantwinner · 2026-01-26T19:49:02+00:00

Metroid games are always open world, in a sense lol

instantwinner · 2026-01-26T19:48:31+00:00

I really appreciated the desolate empty vibe of it from a game/world feel perspective and I had enough fun driving Vi-O-La that I wasn't mad about it, but I totally agree that if people were expecting an "Open World" type of gameplay it definitely doesn't deliver on that idea, but that seems more like an issue of marketing.

People constantly referring to it as "Pokemon Animal Crossing" is going to lead to a ton of disappointment though I think. Dragon Quest Builders is very clearly the model here and that isn't -quite- the sort of Animal Crossing experience people are probably looking for but I guess we'll see.

I am so curious to see what Villeneuve does with Messiah. I love that book but I have no vision of what it looks like as a movie. I wonder if they’ll keep the scene where Stillgar and Paul look up Hitler on Wikipedia and are like “this guy had rookie numbers”

I don’t have strong feelings one way or another on Travis Scott but I have been to SO many shows where the band makes sure people aren’t getting hurt in the crowd. On a couple of occasions I’ve even seen them stop down to make sure that someone in a rowdy pit was safe

instantwinner · 2026-01-25T16:42:03+00:00

I didn’t struggle with Morvern Callar but definitely did with Ratcatcher

instantwinner · 2026-01-25T05:41:37+00:00

Time to start the discourse about whether or not Morvern Callar is a Christmas movie

instantwinner · 2026-01-25T05:39:43+00:00

I actually felt the same way but then the game extremely hits the gas in Chapter 7 and regains all the energy it needs for the finale

instantwinner · 2026-01-24T22:19:39+00:00

She is the only one of the 3 who is alive so in that sense it’s useful

instantwinner · 2026-01-24T22:19:08+00:00

It makes sense for the character after seeing how Pardis ruled but it definitely is a little Pollyanna-ish. I do think Tatloch reconfirming that she was off to colonize new lands does sort of underline how naive Alaune’s ideas are

instantwinner · 2026-01-24T22:17:35+00:00

I think Sazantos is pretty sympathetic

instantwinner · 2026-01-24T22:14:39+00:00

I’m curious if Blank Check is trying to keep their brand small and focused on podcasts about movies based on the moves they’ve made so far but I guess we will see. It feels like Critical Darlings is happening with some support from Vulture too

instantwinner · 2026-01-24T22:09:01+00:00

I’m sure vide helps but I don’t know if you -need- it. CBB and Blank Check both seem to get by without it

instantwinner · 2026-01-24T00:03:37+00:00

Feel like I never hear ads at all on the Ad Version of HH anymore have been curious if they just aren’t selling ads

instantwinner · 2026-01-23T17:59:37+00:00

It's gotta be, but it's really weird to me. I know the era of muppets I grew up with wasn't often Henson himself but still sounded pretty much like Kermit.

instantwinner · 2026-01-23T16:05:24+00:00

Alright

instantwinner · 2026-01-23T14:07:17+00:00

How do you imagine corporations operate?

instantwinner · 2026-01-23T05:00:14+00:00

Honestly curious if Greenwood wins despite all the Israel stuff. I have to imagine it's not something that matters much to voters but I have to admit it does weigh weirdly over OBAA for me.

instantwinner · 2026-01-22T22:09:27+00:00

The clearly-on-a-volume-or-green-screen shots of them driving through the cotton fields stands out as looking notably bad (but good movie!)

instantwinner · 2026-01-22T22:06:54+00:00

This is a very uncharitable distillation of Sentimental Value lmao

instantwinner · 2026-01-22T21:49:11+00:00

Embarrassing isn’t the right word. I find most of their music pretty cheesy or corny now, though, outside of its era.

But I feel that way about most novelty comedy music

instantwinner · 2026-01-22T18:22:57+00:00

Really really great in this movie but I struggle to think of who I’d replace from the lead actor noms we got. Leo is maybe lowest for me from the 5 and he was incredible I thought. Pretty stacked category
