I didn’t like the first series, and would’ve quit it at episode 3 or so but I ended up without internet access for a couple of days and the whole series downloaded… It got better.
But yeah, life’s too short for TV shows that take time to be taken on faith. And if you did finish the first series and still not like it, more power to you.
Zizek, Capitalism’s socialist.
Is he somehow still taken even semi-seriously by Leftists these days?
To be fair to be fair, those people never complained about the historical accuracy with Pope sword fights, or Leonardo Divinci having technology that wouldn’t be produced until the 1800s, and I’m sure many more historical inaccuracies involving white folks.
Is kinda suss though that Ubisoft couldn’t do more black characters when in the Americas though, but can totally do it when it’s in Asia. 🙆🏾♂️
I’ll respect the pokémon card game for demolishing reprint equity and making sure the meta cards are easily and cheaply available to players.
The card game gameplay, and high level competitive battling, while not M:tG good, are still both solid though. Closer to Magic than they are Yu-Gi-Oh.
Been clean since Sun/Moon.
I was disappointed with X/Y and gave them one last chance to change course.
The disappointing dungeons of X/Y had been replaced by nothing by straight lines with occasional fancy camera angles. The utter disgrace that was Z Cave as a super (only) dungeon was more than anything Sun/Moon offered.
For a game series meant to be about exploring and discovering monsters to collect, they’ve really let the exploration/discovery side down. Holding my console upside down is cool and all that, but gimmicks to sell strategy guides are no subsidy for actual explorable environments to lead to dynamic, emergent gameplay experiences.
Really want to make my take on a monster capture world explorer. I think there’s a lot of space for a spiritual successor to Pokémon.
Left vs. Right is literally Monarchists vs. Jacobins in the early days of the French Revolution.
That’s an organic emergence and the terms since then have tried to map to that binary of traditional power vs. reorganisation of society.
Neither her best film with Ghost in the title, nor the best version of Ghost in the Shell.
Not that I disagree with your point. She has acting chops wasted in MCU.
Especially since it’s not original, but adapted from a book.
Why not start with classic films in your wife’s first or second languages?
Almost every language has a few films that stand out, and she’d be more engaged this way too.
And works very well as a good springboard for exploring the world’s cinematic greats.
Apart from it not returning to a status quo… Seeing how Lumon is screwing over the upper tiers as much as the bottom.
It remains well made and has yet to descend into a pastiche of itself, and in fact has a plot that is slowly moving forwards.
Though I reserve final judgement until the series is done.
I was worried it was going to be essentially reset to be more of S1. I glad that after what I was worried was a fairly safe eps. 1 and 2 to reset the status quo that it hasn’t been scared to break the status quo since then.
Excited to see where it goes.
Stick your tits on Lemmy. There are porn instances, too. 🫣
So when you said “break up Steam” you didn’t mean it in the usual, anti-monopoly sense where bits of a company are spun out into independent entities or sold off?
You meant let everything be done by enthusiasts and have it kinda interoperable?
I’m not against that, but I think there are bigger dragons of capitalism to slay first before we hope that splitting forums off of Steam doesn’t send them the way of the IMDB forums.
That Universes Beyond even more confirmed then.
Mad world where Avatar product is teased in the M:tG:Arena store. Not quite Fornite-Starwars non-bo, but still… Capitalism. 🤷♀️
Negatively.
In money for servers as well as time. And that’s for something with far less users than Steam.
Apart from all the non-profitable features divorced from meaning.
The forums would go in the blink of an eye.
And then each section would try to make itself complete in itself to hoard user time, and at least one would start selling advertising space.
The US arms shipments to Britain, and later after the gun runner ship Lustiana, hoping to use its civilian passengers as a shield in breach of the rules of war, led to American popular support for joining with the Allies, which they eventually did to push Germany to defeat despite the newly Sovietised Russia withdrawing.
And it might be that Dixieland and Yankeeland would support the Allies and Axis, and WWI would have had an American theatre, too opening in 1915 or so. And any major war fought in North America in the 20th century would totally alter the form US neo imperial power and hegemony took, if any at all, in the latter part of the 20th century.
As a minimum, a different US would alter how Versaille and Balfour treaties were made and what who agreed to.
I didn’t even mention the Second World War, because the first would’ve been different enough to make it having happened in a familiar form into unlikely.
What other “mistakes” did they make?
A U in “colour”? An S in “realise”?
…
If you’re trolling: well done, wanker.
