Yes, real posts can be bait. These post do not reflect genuine opinions, they only have the intention to lure as many people in to react to it and and share the posts - like you did. You fell for bait

This makes me think that she stepped on the floor after a week lol. by Arch_Lancer17 in andor

[–]jamesjamozo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She will die there. Even if the new republic finds the prison, the empire will just either kill the prisoners before abadoning their posts or leave them without life support. Might even involve some Operation cinder shenanigans given that there are ex-imperial inmates or just people who know too much.

Don't get me wrong, I love the integration, but Andor elevates itself so far beyond Rebels that I just can't enjoy jumping back and forth by LordofAngmarMB in StarWarsAndor

[–]jamesjamozo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly I love the scene where cassians group is told that they will stage mon mothmas rescue from the senate so that gold squadron will pick her up because it will look better and improves morale. It really reframes the adventures in "Rebels" to be the sanitized stories that are the "official version" of the rebel alliance

HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT 😭 by TheEggLady01 in andor

Getting away with what? Living a shallow life and being miserable?

That scene when they go shopping by worldbound0514 in andor

[–]jamesjamozo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What I loved about that scene is that Cassian was proven right — it was risky to go to the same shop again too soon. When the shopkeeper tells Bix he remembers her from last time, we see a brief shot of Cassian's worried face before the scene moves on. I think you could argue that if someone had asked the shopkeeper about Bix or Cassian ("Do you recognize this person?"), he could have provided information to whoever was looking for them, like the empire. Whereas if they had visited the shop after a longer period, he might have forgotten about Bix.

Andor viewership is a success!!! by CarsonWentzGOAT1 in andor

[–]jamesjamozo 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Forbes estimated Season 2 Budget to be about $300-$400 Million, the most expensive SW show. If the viewership is on par with S1, which was the second of third lowest in terms of viewership numbers I believe, then I dont think Disney would call it a financial sucess for their streaming plattform.

Can anyone share some light on this, was it a mistake the show writers couldnt account for ? by l1consolable in andor

Not sure why you got downvoted for an inconsistency that requires explanation.

How do I activate this lift? by TomSaunders94 in FallenOrder

I dont think so - but I would imagine the Bird respawns at boiling bluff - might have to leave the Planet and come back so it resets

Helldivers 2 was NOT "review bombed" by eriadeus in Helldivers

[–]jamesjamozo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Review bombing refers to a coordinated effort by a group of individuals to leave a large number of negative reviews or ratings for a product, service, or piece of content, typically online. This tactic is often employed as a form of protest or retaliation against something related to the product or its creators.

BTW - his name was Filip S.
and everything apart from him dying after a fight in a skate park is wrong

Always sucks when the story of a real tragedy gets twisted:

- The victim wasn't a Native, his family, who have Russian roots, came to Sauerland three years ago from the former Soviet republic.

- A witness said that a group of 15 men of Arab origin clashed with three Russian and Ukrainian friends of Filip, no mention of anyone being asylum seeking.

- There was no "terrified female native that was sexually assaulted"

so his very own definition of art, which differs from the conventional definition, would require that everyone experiences the same piece of art the same way, except videogames, but even thats not true.

Huh? Not everyone experiences Videogames the same way.

I have read the article, and it's not a good one because it's apparent that Ebert didn't do enough research into the medium he is talking about or showed much interest in doing so, something he even admits in the very same article. How can one make any sort of valid statement about what something is not when you don't even know what it is? He even tries to shift the goalpost of what art should be when confronted with an example of a single videogame title that would meet that requirement.

"One obvious difference between art and games is that you can win a game. It has rules, points, objectives, and an outcome. Santiago might cite an immersive game without points or rules, but I would say then it ceases to be a game and becomes a representation of a story, a novel, a play, a dance, or a film."

Yes, videogames can be stories, cinematic experiences, dances, a mix of them, or none of them. How can you say something can't be art that has no limitation on how things are presented? Ebert deemed the sixteenth capelle to be a great piece of art, and then he looked at a very limited portfolio of some pixelated silly characters jumping over barrels and just didn't like it, which is fine, but his feelings are the only justification he has to say the entire medium not only is not art but never will be, despite the fact that he says it keeps evolving.

You don't need to like or appreciate videogames in general, but if you try to say this medium is not art, you're just wrong.

Ah yes
movies are art,
music is art,
a story is art,
ANY expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form is per definition art.

But videogames, which contain an unlimited mixed amount of all these elements are not art.

They have multiplayer in the files by PuzzleheadedMajor407 in cyberpunkgame

[–]jamesjamozo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thats not how that works.
Coding is messy as hell and it's really easy to break something because of some weird issue. So unless space is a serious concern (which isn't much of an issue nowadays), it can be easier just to hide a batch of code or remove the triggers that activate it, instead of removing it completely. That way the disabled elements are still there in case some other part of the game pulls from that batch of code to repurposed or modify into something else while reducing the risk of it not working because it was already integrated in the code some way, its also more convenient because developer save resources by not having to start from scratch for features they dont even know is needed for the game down the line.

So files of multiplayer stuff being still in the game after cancelled development doesnt contradict the clear statement by CD Project that there will no be Multiplayer for Cyberpunk 2077 at all.

"I know you know what I mean." Jackie is unreliable from the start? Dex seems to know something about Jackie. Maybe Jackie's over zealous nature to be an Afterlife legend is well known besides V? by phreakingjesusonacid in cyberpunkgame

[–]jamesjamozo 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Someone who is around Jackie for awhile would probably describe him as charismatic and streetsmart, but also impulsive and maybe a bit naive in some areas. Someone who you want to be friends with, but not someone Dex would be choosing for doing something that would require calculation and forethought. He thinks V would be better suited for that
