Lightning Knight posted:Is Rampage not actually good? I have no intention of going to see it so. Listen, the PS1 is when all the dudebro jocks started liking video games and they became bad! Before they were creative and fun but with the PS1 is when they became trash and pandered to idiots (more like sub-humans who should be prevented from breeding if you ask me) that tried to imitate the greatness of the older stuff. Here, in my new 8 part series of four hour videos I will explain to you all of this.

The Left do need more of a sense of humor but considering how on the pulse of current events a lot of them tend to be, it's hard to laugh at a joke caricature or just a plain joke at their expense in a silly internet video because that's all the mainstream media does - except not in a jokey fashion at all. I don't think the Tabby character is utterly horrible, I did laugh a couple times when she showed up, but I do think it's a bit of a dumb strawman. I've seen really smart leftists call for revolution in the heat of the moment and they can tell you exactly what that means while others, not so much.

Lightning Knight posted:I think it's meant to specifically be a parody of internet/twitter leftism. You only need to take one look at rose twitter to find plenty of silly anime and furry avatars mixed with "down with capitalism," and there's inherent comedy there especially since the character mostly takes herself completely seriously. Maybe. I mean, I can see it but I'm in no position to judge if those people are serious or not. With poo poo like this (among other things), can you really poke fun at those people?

The article, as it quotes the report, talks about revenue stream as the patient pool dwindles. You know, very OK and good questions to ask (if you're a sociopath). It treats patients as customers instead of people in need of treatment.

Augus posted:and in doing so it offers a fascist worldview where this one man is the only person who can fix the world and if people just understood him everything would be better, so he is free to act out in an idiotic and childish fashion as the world conspires to undermine his greatness and therefore absolve him of all wrongdoing. All the evils in the world are the work of one billionaire who can be easily identified and punched when the opportunity presents itself, and superman can punch that man because he is great. It presents the same childish narrative as usual but by backing it up with "gritty realism" it only makes itself more harmful by convincing people that this is how real life works. It boldly tells the audience to their face that they should not question the actions of those in power, they are better than us and they are right, and to question their highly questionable actions is evil. We should resign ourselves to the misery of the world and leave our fate to a higher power who will save us. You're right that Batman vs Superman predicted Trump, because it accurately represents and reinforces the mindset that elected Trump and still supports him. "Trump is our hero, Trump is here to save us. The people holding trials investigating Trump's numerous crimes are trying to undermine him because they hate his greatness. If everyone just understood that Trump is here to help us the world would be a better place" That's quite the reading. It's also predicated on the person in the position of power being Superman, who is not. He's a man with power, but not in power. It's the reason why the film starts by showing him doing his thing then setting off a series of events that cast shade on if he should be doing what he is doing. The only person shown in a position of power is Lex Luthor, who is a psychopath. If you want to apply Donald Trump applicability, he's the one. Neddy Seagoon posted:Aside from the massive global changes in politics still resonating a decade later, and SHIELD's massive buildup, due to the ramifications of what occurred. Or the influx of alien weapons into the black market and general reverse-engineering. I mean, yeah, if you want to compare a continuity with 5 (3 of which are directly connected and 1, being Wonder Woman, takes place a good century before the events of Man of Steel and the other being Justice League) films to one that has over a dozen, the later sure does feel more fleshed out. The cogs were turning, however. Instead of a fascist branch of the government building flying fortresses, we get the government putting together a group of criminals to run black ops and split public opinion.

Ah, I stand corrected. I think I remember reading that but just forgot. Either way, yeah, that's some typical IDF rear end-kissing.

Mr Phillby posted:Ironically the way the Avengers handles the nuclear strike (ie. a government ordered strike on New York that the heroes try to prevent) is way more anti-nuke than the one in Batman Vs. Superman even though the former saves the day and the latter makes things worse. Not sure how showing using nuclear weapons being super effective and saving the day makes them more anti-nuke than using it which accelerates your own destruction. I mean, you can like one movie and dislike the other, dislike or like both but the messaging in Avengers was pretty bad.

The whole sequence in New Order was neat but it felt like window dressing. You don't really interact with J all that much. While his dialogue actually talked about something, I felt like the stuff was Tesla was a whole lot better and you could get a better sense of BJ's relationship with her. They also tied into her mindset and calculations into the gameplay during the raid of the HQ. The New Colossus was better written, even though the tone dramatically shifts from the first game (and some returning characters kind of being dialed up to 11). L

Watch_Dogs 2 is a game I couldn't get into at all. I played through the whole thing because I liked the characters and wanted to see where the story went but the gameplay just didn't grab me. I mostly just played it like a 3rd person shooter - icing dudes with assault rifles the entire time.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:bf2: modern combat was a cool game in its heyday but man, when i played it after they announced its servers were closing, holy poo poo did that thing not age well at all. I'm hoping the maps in BFV are better than the ones in BF1. If you love sniping then BF1 is the game for you since all those maps give you all the advantages without any pesky things like offering cover or camouflage for your enemies. For everyone else, it was terrible. Had a few good maps though, but for the DLC they were mostly bad.

Chalice dungeons also had some of the better bosses too. I put a lot of time in those dungeons. They weren't that good, but I liked the combat enough that the challenge of them was fine by me, even if the design of the dungeons themselves were just a bunch of prefab parts thrown together. The tiles with the luminescent fungus/flowers did look really neat though!

The Bloodletting Beast was the bane of my existence until I got the pattern down then I started beating all of its versions either without getting hit or only hit a few times. It felt really drat good. Same thing with the Watchdog. Nothing like seeing your progress from zero to masterclass hunter. Though, I will say that Bloodborne did show the limitations of the camera when dealing with fast-moving large enemies, especially ones you can run under. They have to pull that stuff back so you don't get turned around.

I prefer to use gog over Steam. Game doesn't require gog to run, which is great. But the way gog handles DLC is pretty backwards. Using the Galaxy client, stuff you add, especially for free, just doesn't like to show up. You have to use the web page to download the DLC, install it, then you'll be able to activate it in the Galaxy client. But yeah, for something that started out as a library to get older games for newer OSs, its come a long way.

I kind of agree but on the other hand, it's entertainment and games of empathy and solidarity aren't often fun. Interesting and provocative, yes, but rarely "fun" in the sense. Conflict is fun. But also, humans are complex creatures. It would be nice if everyone got along, but people will have different beliefs and views on the best possible action to better everyone and when two people with different ideas clash, it breeds conflict. Also murdering nazis is always good and fun. I won't hear otherwise by anyone.

I think this guy is confusing socialism with capitalism. But I'm sure he's just an idiot who is subscribed to objectivism without actually knowing how Ayn Rand lived her twilight years. UBI, single-payer and tuition-free college are only good things. If these clowns thought of it as an investment in the population, they wouldn't produce such misguided nonsense.

Groovelord Neato posted:i couldn't wrap my head about their defense of him dying to a tornado, something clark could easily save him from. the whole point is to kill him in a way clark can't help him (heart attack) so clark learns that his true weakness is he can't save everyone. Pa Kent was a pretty human character, which is to say he had his beliefs and flaws. I found his depiction in MoS to be quite good and different. Pa Kent's "maybe" wasn't the answer anyone wanted to hear but he believed it was the best one because the situation, for him, was a complex one. He believe Clark, and the world, were not ready for each other. He believe the world would shun him and didn't think his young son wasn't ready to carry the weight of expectation on his shoulders. He died for those convictions and it shaped Clark into the person we see through the films. Clark does explain this in the next scene. The only real stumble of the tornado sequence is that they didn't use a younger actor in the role. But considering it's a dream-like memory, we get a "younger look" Henry Cavil and Kevin Costner simply vanishing in the tornado instead of violently being torn away. I mean, if you don't like it I won't try to convince you but at least I can try to help you understand why people like and defend it?

His entire thing is "this thing makes people uncomfortable so we have to do incremental change until people are comfortable then we can do the right thing." So gay marriage, treating trans folk as human beings, UHC, social and economic equality. Just need to do incremental change. Some of those "people" dying along the way? It's fine, so long as in the end normal people act like human beings towards folks who are different then we can all get along and everyone will be happy! I mean, look at the Native Americans and African Americans! Since the first settlers arrived upon these shores they have been waiting for those very things we take for granted and most people can stand to look them in the eyes when they talk to them! Progress! This a very good thing. The logical, sane middle has triumphed again! His priorities are bad and I swear, that clown is just looking for an excuse to be go full MAGA chud.

Ghostbusters is a good cautionary tale. It shows the importance of having a good script and good direction. Ad-lib is well and good but you have to reign that poo poo in and make sure it doesn't get in the way of the story. It's such a talent bomb. I doubt the bean-counters took that lesson away from that film, though.
