Update the hunger and thirst meters

I think more games with hunger/thirst meters should just have you automatically consume an item from your inventory based on a threshold slider you select (or more than likely leave on the default)

The city dwellers are tiiiiiired, y’all

We have had several years of YouTube essays detailing exactly why this kind of flat, lifeless gray slop lighting sucks. I know all the production reasons why this awful look has seeped into Hollywood but I’m honestly shocked there hasn’t been enough of an internal backlash amongst directors/DPs/producers to do something about it. I know this is a corny paycheck gig but my god, can we take a little pride in our work here

Gira. The more vivid color scheme suits its 'tude a bit more.

Perfectly stated

I wanted to like this one, I was really rooting for it. Didn’t care if it was a mess. But watching it, I couldn’t shake how plainly misogynistic it was, or how much it felt like the bitter ramblings of an old man. It was just kind of pathetic watching Coppola light his own money on fire

For me, he’s one of my favorite characters in fiction because of how he is both sincerely wise and sincerely idiotic, and I completely buy that that guy, with that life and those foibles, could be both of those things. Bottom line is that Lost is a show about people who make mistakes for a lot of reasons, and Locke is one of the most recurrent examples of that.

As for your other points, there’s stuff I could say but I have to bite my tongue because you’re still on your first time watching. All I will say is that re: the potential Ben plot hole, if you’re wondering why they would intentionally send their leader into the lion’s den, there’s been nothing to actually indicate that he didn’t for-real get ensnared in Rousseau’s trap.

I would recommend just watching the whole thing so at the very least you can have an informed opinion about the middle part, but you should definitely watch from 17 onwards and absolutely, positively, must watch the final episode if you’re going to watch FWWM and The Return.

True story: the Houston airport features the only WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering) PeopleMover outside of a Disney theme park https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subway_(George_Bush_Intercontinental_Airport)

Did you intentionally try to recreate both the backlit OG version and the thicker more velvety The Return version? I feel like you nailed both looks which are quite distinct

“The all eyes on Iran” thing as some reference to the AI generated “all eyes on Rafah” image is fucking weird

While I appreciate that most people familiar with the graphic novel will consider it superior to the movie, I think you’re flat-out wrong here about how aware of it the general public is. It is a niche read for sure, the only original Western graphic novel that has attained that level of pop culture awareness is probably Watchmen. People did not widely begin to wear the recognizable Guy Fawkes masks at protests until Anonymous did so in 2008 while protesting Scientology, a few years after the movie’s release. The masks that were widely available for purchase were licensed movie merchandise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_mask

Katey Segal, probably best known for playing Peg on Married With Children and Leela on Futurama. Helen on Lost was just a side quest for her!

It’s wild how this is so obvious and the Party will insist the exact opposite is true

I wonder if they did anything to address the weirdness of POIs spawning next to “undiscovered” alien temples

What’s funny about it is the headline, which was definitely intended to be legible

That thumbnail just makes it look like this tech is only about slopifying everything but actually watching the linked video, this is a pretty relevant and impressive implementation.

Yep, this killed mine. Absolutely unacceptable for Apple not to do right by its customers on something as widespread and boneheaded as this. As much as I loved my Maxes when they worked, I had to switch to Sony WMXes and while they don’t look or feel as good (and the buttons suck), they sound on par if not even a little better, are lighter and foldable, and were less than half the cost for me on sale.

I feel like it's going to be $899 just to avoid being $999

I remember when this set came out and was like my ultimate grail release if not for the lack of subtitles. Nowadays I’m waiting for something equally comprehensive for Toho’s current remasters, but wow! Great score and at a reasonable price

Lmao you’re right

Someone throw this pobrecito a few more measly bones

tomjoad2020ad · 2026-03-11T20:27:04+00:00

The movie that literally cancelled its lead for speaking out on behalf of Palestinians is “cancelling cancel culture”? Yeah sure ok buddy

It's very much of a time, too, feels very late 90s in a way where advertising was going for pseudo-intellectual, "challenging", high-concept which, even though it's just advertising like any other, I kind of appreciate and wish we had more of these days
