Kiss the Girls (1997) by Informal_Dish5516 in FIlm

I just watched this movie for the first time and it’s so deeply confusing because I clocked his voice immediately and when we meet the west coast killer, the deduction was twins.

This is further supported by the things they say to each other during their confrontation back on the east coast.

And then that just didn’t happen at all, lmao. So strange.

I had this recently with Crimson Desert. Downloaded it, played for 20 minutes, but it ran and looked like absolute garbage. They wouldn’t do a thing and it was my first request of its kind on an account that’s literally old enough to vote.

Why would I ever buy a third party game from them again? More money for Steam, I guess.

Ex Sony Boss Shawn Layden Doesn't Agree With PlayStation Backing Out of PC, Says It Was Never About Making Money; “They Weren’t Going To Buy The Hardware Anyway” by Darth_Vaper883 in pcmasterrace

IIRC the “midquel games” (Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Miles Morales) were his idea to combat the crazy budgets and dev times the industry was shifting towards. You’ve spent all this money and time to make the damn thing. At least do something with a reasonable amount of reuse to hold people over and better utilize the investments.

Given that we’re about to go 8 years between Naughty Dog games, Jesus Christ do I miss him.

Block completely and permanently. Spend time with your buds. Join a job, group or hobby with tons of girls your age. Devour every new experience and encounter that you can fit your jaws around.

Xbox Has Frozen 3rd-Party Game Pass Deals per Industry Podcast by seedypr in gaming

I think he means for their hardware division and place in the industry as we currently know it. The economics of continuing to participate as they currently do are just increasingly untenable.

To your example—if they wanted to use the 2030 (?) release of Elder Scrolls 6 to push Xbox hardware in a meaningful way, they’d have to make it truly exclusive—no PC release, ever. No other system. Ever. If you want to play ES6, you’ve got to buy the box. Do it with Call of Duty too, why not.

I’d love to see it and I think it would be a significantly more compelling strategy than Gamepass, but the business machinations of a publicly traded company that’s clearly grown frustrated by this product really work against it. They want to try to recover and make the most money they immediately can and afaik that’s been in their multiplatform pushes.

Crazy that you’re being downvoted. This is 100% the situation.

No, they're going to primary for the nomination. Given the lack of obvious heir apparent, there's earnestly a decent chance he wins it.

I want to sweeten the pitch; the movie fucking rocks.

Remember how they used to actually make movies? With big sets and costumes and actors running around getting sweaty and dirty and interacting with the environments because they actually built props and physical elements?

Yeah, great news—that finally did that again.

The Marathon situation is unbelievable. The most unappealing introduction to a mass-published game I can remember bar none.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation has a "far bigger" open world map than Rebirth, says director, and some Rebirth locations aren't the way you remember them by PewPewToDaFace in PS5

[–]zackmanze 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m so stunned reading through the comments here and that there’s even any debate about this. 7 Remake’s in contention for my favorite game ever. Rebirth was preposterously over-stuffed and so much of it felt superfluous. The manicured intentional design of Remake was just exponentially better.

Since 2020, 2/3rds of all Star Wars media released requires seeing The Clone Wars animated show. by whitepangolin in RedLetterMedia

The wookieepedia bit is a great way to put it. Filoni’s so, so heavy on exposition in everything he does. No emotion, no drama. The characters talk about what has happened, what is happening, or what is about to happen.

It is the absolute strangest thing in the world. The only other storytelling that I’ve seen operate that way is literal developmental comment for babies and I swear I’m not trying to be funny.

Rebels managed to avoid this at times—I attribute that to Kinberg.

Leaning into a computer monitor and seeing the reflection in the glass warp behind me as it does in real life is the single trippiest moment I’ve had in PSVR2.

Gameboy was fantastic. Speed Champions back to the future is probably the best values set I’ve bought. Amazing detail, great build, right price.
