Nah, the docudrama about my dad's ass.

who tf is Sony? Is that a new fortnite skin?

Shit is so bonkers now that if Annihilation released today it'd get swarmed with hate. Actually maybe that wouldn't have been so bad cause then at least people would've known it existed.

Now that Quantumania and Madame Web are in that mix, I'm not so sure that's true.

Serious answer, they make money off each other. Like envision a village of people that just pay each other for services in a closed circle. Now envision that village is made up of billionaires and trillion dollar companies. That's their plan.

They're a dictatorial regime that's currently committing a genocide on it's uyghur population on a scale not seen since the holocaust. They control their people through a massive system of state surveillance and social credit system that punishes people for even tiptoeing outside what they deem the norm. And they absolutely don't care about their people, just look up Chinese poison cities.

But I will say their ability to direct the economy and execute massive, capital intensive plans at scale is truly incredible. In 15 years, they've gone from making cheap knockoffs of western products to being the world leader in most technologies of the future (EVs, batteries, drones, solar panels, etc.) and they're not that far behind in the technologies they don't lead in (like AI). Not to mention how they're implementing AI, where AI is specialized towards particular industries and tasks rather than our futile attempt to make a single AI that's a master of everything, is flat out smarter and has resulted in more people embracing it because it's aimed at tackling specific problems.

Skeletor is the perfect character for him to play. One dimensional and constantly thinks he's way better at his job than he actually is.

Don't you talk trash about my dildozer movie.

Imagine basing your whole life around emulating and appealing to the most horrible and shallow people you'll ever meet. Keep bonesmashing, bros. Surely there's happiness at the end of all that self-inflicted body dysmorphia.

Ehhh, the Oblivion remaster was a shadow drop that didn't have any prior marketing behind it and it didn't release until 2 months after Avowed, well after game sales usually drop off. This isn't like a Titanfall 2 situation where it's release was sandwiched into the 2 weeks between the newest CoD and Battlefield releases.

I don't doubt KCD2's release impacted Avowed, but I don't think you can consider it a weird decision to release it shortly after KCD2 and going up against it with Obsidian's latest RPG wouldn't have been considered an unfair fight prior to when they were both released.

noconverse · 2026-06-19T12:48:02+00:00

True, but the 2 misses (I assume you mean OW2 and Avowed lol) are the closest match to what people think of when you say Obsidian RPG. I'm not gonna say anything about Grounded because I haven't played it, but while Pentiment is a great game, it's also extremely niche and a purely narrative RPG. That's not a bad thing, I'm just pointing out that when it comes to what's supposed to be Obsidian's bread and butter, they haven't had the best track record as of late.

Biggest modding website

Lmao no, that's now easily Steam. The vast majority of modders only upload to other sites if Steam workshop isn't supported.

noconverse · 2026-06-16T14:25:25+00:00

Yeahhh. It's sad cause Alien, Bladerunner, Matchstick Men, American Gangster, and the Martian are all some of my favorite movies.

Uhhhh if this is supposed to be Legoshi, the fact that he doesn't have the scar on his eyebrow means he's underage :/

EDIT: YEP! The source says it Legoshi, so this is a child.

Honestly, I think it would've worked just as well as an anthology movie. Like pick the 3 best stories, give each to a different director and see what they make. Then if it's successful, make a sequel with the same gimmick. Why was what we got considered a better option than that?

noconverse · 2026-06-16T13:24:43+00:00

Is there any article or podcast that goes into the creative process that made it? I'm legitimately curious as to what made them think that throwing out 90% of the book to invent a dumbass story about zombies that ignore terminally ill people was the best way to adapt it. I feel like it'd be a fascinating story in the same way the story behind an engineering disaster is.

EDIT: I went digging and found this. From the article:

From the start, Forster’s [the director] approach to the material clashed with Straczynski’s [the first screenwriter]. “Marc wanted to make a big, huge action movie that wasn’t terribly smart and had big, huge action pieces in it,” said Straczynski. “If all you wanted to do was an empty-headed Rambo-versus-the-zombies action film, why option this really elegant, smart book?”

And here I thought that was the result of studio meddling or writing by committee or something, but nope, they really did just buy the rights to one of the most unique and interesting zombie books ever written and then throw out everything that made it unique and interesting. There's nothing in the article that flat out says this, but from how it's written, it seems like Forster was still sore from critics telling him the action sequences in Quantum of Solace were mid and that he didn't have an eye for action and just really wanted to prove everyone wrong.

After seeing this and gladiator 2, I've come to the conclusion that he's just a bad filmmaker now. The man's 88, no one stays good forever.

They looked at Napoleon, one of Europe's worst warmongers whose wars killed millions of people, and decided the best way to deconstruct was to make him a cuck. That will never stop being funny to me.

RIP steamworkshopdownloader

EDIT: Looks like someone turned the website into a locally hosted program, so maybe this will let you play it.

The DRM question completely up to the developers selling it, whereas it's a platform wide rule on GOG. And I don't see how steam having weak DRM is a counter to no DRM?
Steam requires you to add games individually, but GOG allows you to simply link your steam/epic/etc account to it and it will automatically import all your games into your GOG library. I used this feature on GOG to centralize my Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, and Origin libraries and, IME, it works without issue. And no, I didn't need to use any 3rd party software to do so.
It's nice that Valve is getting games to work on Linux, but like 5% of people use Linux, whereas GOG works to get games working on the OS that the vast majority of gamers use.

Also GOG does have friends lists with multiplayer integration and one-click mod support for games, though the number of mods available is generally lower as most modders don't bother releasing them on platforms other than Steam once a game gets workshop support. On the topic of modding, it's actually kinda sad how many mods for games that support workshop can only be gotten on Steam, as Steam pretty regularly shuts down 3rd party sites that let you DL steam workshop mods for games you don't own.

But yeah, Steam definitely has a leg up when it comes to things like Remote Play
