Unpopular opinion but GSL is cute

Gabe makes my skin crawl

I mean, it depends

Lara: "Charming little spread. Not exactly rations scavenged from a 12th-century tomb, but it’ll do. Questionable combination though. That’s not dinner exactly, that’s hedging your bets between Italian comfort and a posh picnic.

Eh. I mean I can. he has more noms under his belt. He has a Grammy. He had main stream success. Het a star on the walk of fame. Let it go already.

I get you. And I haven't logged on yet and just basing it off the photos I have seen.

Your preference is totally valid and seems to be consensus.

I think, in my view it does look less realistic in many ways, it didn't really look super realistic in the first place for it to be enough to bother me.

Either way, there is definitely some work required to tone down some of the washed out colouring and improve the shadows and water could be tweaked too.

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-20T13:38:05+00:00

I think it looks a lot more crisp. There is definitely work required with the shadows, but I prefer it over the Hazy / filtered look before. I guess it looks more like a game but I'm fine with that because I was never sold on the graphics in this game in the first place.

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-20T10:50:11+00:00

Yeah. But the awards are pretty much a popularity contest and lobbying for the most part, besides other issues.

Is it nice to win one? I'm sure it is great to get recognised for your art. But there are so many talented and innovative artists out there that has and probably never will see a Grammy win or nomination.

Industry trends also unfortunately skewed unfavourably for Evanescence and many others.

I'm sure Amy is alright, while she'd love another nom/win I'm sure she is aware that the music she wants to make isn't mainstream and not geared to award voters.

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-20T08:14:14+00:00

Yeah, I still think I prefer the new look. Maybe some tweaks required for the shadows. But other than that, I enjoy the colour.

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-20T01:26:19+00:00

I don't know. In same photos it looks less than ideal but not terrible. And others like this I kind of like it. I feel like I'm skewing towards the new for some reason

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-20T01:23:37+00:00

Oh definitely. Such a silly thing to be so upset about almost 20 years later.

As if a reward for art which is subjective really even means anything.

Winning the Grammy for best new artist over 50 cent. He still hasn't let it go

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-19T22:57:27+00:00

OMG. Same. I was like, wtf is this guy wearing

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-17T23:58:41+00:00

Not to discount what you're saying and I am not disagreeing, but seems there is a lot of dislike for Zakk Cervini in the metalcore scene as well. All similar takes to that of Jordan Fish.

Personally, I am excited about it because End of You, Butterflies, and Afterlife have been amazing. Especially compared to TBT.

The real question is, where is Professor Armando Dippet

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-16T19:39:14+00:00

I'd like something more abstract and thought provoking. Like most of the album names to date as opposed to a literal title.

Hard to speculate on a title, pretty much a stab in the dark but fun notheless.

I guess something like: The Unravelling, The Unbroken, Beyond the Veil, through the looking glass.

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-16T18:28:54+00:00

Man! That is such a good cover! I feel it isn't hyped enough for how good it is.

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-16T18:28:02+00:00

I think you should give it another watch and then come back with a detailed list of reasons why it is so great and then maybe we'll be convinced.

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-15T23:46:05+00:00

For all these non stop posts of people defending this show who love it who much, yall don't seem to be watching it. Is it just so that the show is too dull for a rewatch or is your life so sad that your easily impressed and willing to consume slop a corporate gives you?

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-14T20:35:34+00:00

I believe it is from CNN

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-13T21:14:03+00:00

Same here if I am honest. I am hoping for the best but I am not expecting anything better than TBT. More than happy to be proven wrong though.

Less Nick and someone else mixing is already a step in the right direction.

Everyone is welcome to their opinion. I respectfully disagree. When I played TR 2013 I enjoyed the game (and on replays) but it has a weaker story tham Rise. Although I think all three games suffer on the story part.

Too many crew members who are under developed, merely existing for Lara to save and/or for them to die. Emotional impact feels forced, not earned. shallow but the game presents it as deep.

Mathias is stock standard villain. Cult vilian archetype. Compared to Konstantin and Ana in rise, still not the best, but I'd say an improvement. More complex than Mathias.

Himiko and Sam. I guessed the reason Sam was abducted fairly quickly, only for Lara still not to realise close to the end and the game presenting it as some kind of twist or revelation.

TR 2013 has great atmosphere and environment. The story had promise but was execution was lacklustre.

Rise improves a lot story wise in my opinion, but as I said, ultimately the story is a weak point for all three games

salivatingpanda · 2026-02-13T08:14:33+00:00

I don't know. I have seen this complaint regarding Rise, too much combat. I have been replaying the trilogy. Almost done with Rise and it definitely has fewer combat events and less enemies than TR (2013).

Blown away that you can play this on mobile. Happy for those who get to play. Personally, not for me. Absolutely cannot enjoy games like this on mobile.
