But we why know he belongs here haha.
Worf sends son away disappointed he’s not Klingon enough. Son comes back with his Klingon cranked to 11. Worf now disappointed son is not an orthodox Klingon warrior cast in his image 🤷♀️
Plus he’s also a super shitty brother 👌
Gonna agree with you for opposite reasons. The combat in the postgame dungeon, Costlemark I think. The one where you can’t use any healing items, it was a worthy challenge.
The other postgame dungeon, the platforming one was, was way better than many final fantasy challenges like jumping rope and dodging lighting.
Special mention for the incredible soundtrack, the Matoya’s Cave remix especially.
But ya everything before the postgame, the umm main game I guess, was ridiculously short. Imagine FFIV ending when you drill into the underworld, or FFVI ending when the the world breaks, that’s what the story in FF15 feels like. As soon as you depart to the next continent you get rug pulled by a time jump that takes you to the final boss 🫠
Xbox was so great when it launched. Thanks for bringing us decent length controller cables, hard drives, and Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay 👌
Nowadays, uhh thanks for making an unnecessary media center I guess 🤷♀️
The mediocrity as I understand was from the rift that developed in the team about the vision of the game being a sandbox vs a campaign.
However, I witnessed a new divide among the team which was less well-known; as more core game developers (such as myself) were recruited to help finish the game, a cultural gap emerged between the newer ‘gameplay’ team and the older ‘Sim’ team. The former group (which went on to spearhead Darkspore) was primarily concerned with how Spore played as a game. Were the mechanics engaging? Did the player’s choices matter? Was the game replayable? In contrast, the ‘Sim’ team carried the traditional Maxis DNA and was more comfortable with Spore as a toy box. Could the players express themselves? Was sharing one’s creations with other players meaningful? Did the game spark the imagination?
These cultural divides ruined Spore’s chances to be a focused, cohesive experience.
Reminds me of this
Starships were meant to fly
My wife (and probably many others) disagrees, but I’m firmly of the opinion that Starships by Nicki Minaj is an uncertified trek banger 🙌
Harbinger is the worst episode of ENT. The captain and the alien of the week are maybe 6 minutes of the episode. The rest is a bunch of bullshit with resolving the conflicts in the crew that had been brewing all season.
Only saving grace is the fight scene, but then the macho American space marine gets schooled by lieutenant mister bean? Lolwut
What the hell do they think this is, Hamlet, Gone With the Wind, Ruggles of Red Gap? It’s a goddamned space western, aliens in rubber masks, you know the drill!
Edit: also this, meant only as a jest 🖖 :
me: Now when it comes to Ferengi-centric episodes of DS9, Looking for par’Mach in All the Wrong Places, while good, doesn’t hold a candle to subversive gems like House of Quark (which actually preceded this episode), Bar Association, and Little Green Men.
them: shutup shutup shutup!
Gah what a fucking tool.
Well at least he isn’t getting paid when I rewatch Ace Ventura 2 on plex 😎
Don’t you get it? You cocksucker! I work for Dick Jones! Dick Jones! He’s the Number Two Guy at OCP. OCP runs the cops.
That’s cool sure.
But on the other side: Reddit betrayed the social contract and deserves to rot in consequence.
One droplet of lost engagement becomes an ocean; just stop showing up 🤷♀️
Sokath my eyes uncovered
Where now the horse and the rider?
and all distros jumped into the honeypot
As a filthy casual this is the most distressing part.
I’ve observed the situation shift in just a few years from
“
WinterSystemd is coming”
To
“
WinterSystemd is here, it’s everywhere, and i hate it”
Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Tactics with the translation-so-bad-it’s-might-be-a-masterpiece.
Actually interesting and novel ability names
Japanese: Dance with knives
1997 Localization: Wiznaibus
WotL Localization: Mincing Minuet
Dialog that pulls no punches
Japanese: My bad, but it’s between you and your god
1997 Localization: Tough luck…Don’t blame me. Blame yourself or God.
WoTL Localization: Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I.
Other gems lost in the improved localization:
All that being said, the final fantasy gang is generally spectacular with English mastery. It’s like you can tell which books they like to read when they choose obscure words like Eidolon.
It’s obvious in HN because of the wide range of obscure topics (eg installing scaffolding on old British smoke stacks) that occasionally arise to the front page, all the ones on that topic are quickly flagged to oblivion.
You don’t have to be a genius to see the pattern 🤷♀️
One of those nobodies I’ve heard of and at least has a good song 🤷♀️, bigger than kiss by teenage bottle rocket
I am beyond mildly infuriated by such an idiotic stance, but it tracks with what I’ve seen.
RIP postal service you’re next.
