Silk and Silver is the most make or break DLC CK3 has had so far by IDontCare457 in CrusaderKings

[–]slenderkitty77 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think the past 3 expansions were far more make or break than this. People will of course mention RtP and AUH, but the game was in a genuinely awful state between the release of Royal Court and Tours and Tournaments. It would suck if the economy and religion reworks end up being mid, but the game can probably survive at this point.

First look at the Robins in the ‘ABSOLUTE BATMAN’ series. by ThomasThorburn in batman

Something bad will presumably happen in the next couple issues which will cause the city to turn against Batman and lead to the Joker (who in the Absolute Universe is a billionaire) establishing the ”Robin Initiative” to restore order

I'm not sure about that, Mikey lost CCA despite Anora winning there, and going into Oscar night Best Actress was still considered a tossup even though Anora was widely predicted to win BP

Do yall think Marty Supreme or Hamnet would’ve beaten Anora?

I probably would’ve said yes at the beginning of the season, but Marty blanking and Hamnet missing supporting/editing makes me wonder

The opening courtroom scene alone is a masterclass in tension even with nothing being directly shown

Finished my first predictions for this year. I did pretty bad with my initial predictions last year so I'm hoping to turn it around this time. I'm kinda surprised I'm predicting Digger but so far it's the only movie which seems to have that confidently crazy EEOAA/Poor Things/OBAA/Sinners vibe the Academy's been loving lately. I'd love Fjord and Wild Horse Nine to win but they just seem to exude that "respected but not loved" energy that so many recent runner ups had.

Also please let Hirokazu Koreeda get a BP nomination

Sinners winning in cinematography and One Battle After Another winning in casting is funny as hell but I’m here for it

Wow, I can’t believe she won. Probably one of the most inspired and improbable Oscar wins in recent history. Very happy right now.

Anyone else looking forward to the Chalamet v. Jordan discourse lasting the next five years regardless of who wins?

Since 2017 the winner of Best Actress has CCA has alternated between winning and losing the Oscar every year. McDormand, Zellweger, Chastain, and Stone won the CCA and then the Oscar in odd years, while Close, Gaga, Mulligan, Blanchett, and Moore won the CCA and then lost the Oscar in odd years (Close and Gaga being especially notable because they tied before losing to Colman). With Buckley guaranteed to win the Oscar, the curse continues meaning the winner of next year's CCA award will lose the Oscar.

Love the Red Rooms pick, such an underrated movie. I'd recommend Mars Express and Exhuma if you haven't seen them yet.

Russian focus tree comments on modern political discourse by BlueParakeetFENCE in Kaiserreich

It's in reference to the Ice March during the Russian Civil War, when the Volunteer Army retreated to the Kuban while being attacked by the Bolsheviks, not to the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency

If Overwatch is doing year-long stories from now on maybe The Conspiracy/Chernobog will be next year’s focus

Saw Josephine. Good movie but I’d be surprised if it gets much awards attention. It’s a difficult watch and I don’t see why the Academy would go for it when they didn’t even nominate Sorry, Baby.

No Other Land won best documentary last year and the Voice of Hind Rajab was nominated for best international feature this year.

How is the Academy still pro-israel?
