bentsea,

I wish they’d release the game for the ten year anniversary.

bentsea,

%1000 this. But even for all the bad things about Canto Bight, it had something to say about the Star Wars universe and how we should feel about the way Disney intends to use the property and that was crazy clever.

bentsea,

Was that aspect of this part of the story good? No, it had flaws.

Was it worse than having a super-ultra-duper-mega Death Star reset all of the progress from the entire franchise by blowing up every single republic planet with one multiple shot from across the galaxy? Also, no. Not by half.

I left Force Awakens feeling defeated by Star Wars. We’re not allowed to have character growth, we’re not allowed to ever have the universe move past the empire, everything has to stay in this permanent state of always at war because that’s the brand and everything in the universe that tries to be different gets pushed back into its little box.

And the scenes in Canto Bight and with the cracker said that out loud. That it’s all war and it will always be that way as long as the people selling the war are making money. It was different and it felt different.

And then Disney came back with Rise of the Skywalker and pushed it all back in the box and did everything it could to walk it back validating everything it had to say.

So, yeah… despite its narrative flaws with pacing it was pretty brilliant and spot on. And it’s weird that it bothers you more than any of the bizarre pacing and character crap in the other two movies. It’s all bad storytelling, why is the bad story telling that has something to say the part that bothers you the most?

What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?

The thought came to mind after reading a recent post about Baldurs Gate 3 here but it reminded me of the Japense only PSX game Mizzurna Falls where if you don’t perform a certain action early in the game you are prevented from getting a true ending. While this might not be a traditional soft lock because you can still progress...

bentsea,

The game remembered a lot of things but you very much could do a pacifist run by starting a new game. I read about the pacifist run after about an hour into the game, decided I wanted to try it, and restarted and was able to achieve the best ending.

bentsea,

Thank you, from now on that’s what I’m calling it: X-create, x-created, and x-creating all over the Internet.

bentsea,

Thank goodness there are places in the world where people are willing to stand up to those monstrous Christians!

bentsea,

We were all on vacation! In Poland!

Gnomes are not elves

bentsea,

It truly baffles me that anyone at all is still on the platform formerly known as twitter at this point.

bentsea,

The prosecutor in this… I’m only starting to learn things about her and read her work and she is such a badass.

bentsea,

It’s okay. I’m generally not a fan of roguelike games so I wasn’t primed to love it, additionally the gameplay itself is a bit sluggish. Not really my cup of tea and I didn’t finish it.

bentsea,

Interesting how Maher shows how much closer he is to being Ben Shapiro than being someone worth paying attention to.

bentsea,

After he was done eating she even made him throw away his own paper plates. So inconsiderate.

bentsea,

Have you tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling steam?

bentsea,

Abbott just wishes he were mini Trump.

Which android device is unbelievably good but few people would buy it?

For me it’s Motorola G72. It’s excellent for the price. The phone is super lightweight despite having a 5,000 milliamper battery. The UI is very snappy and animations are very smooth (high refresh rate). It supports double tap on the back plus all other neat Motorola gestures. The under display fingerprint scanner works...

bentsea,

The moto g 5g is an outstanding budget phone with loads of features. It’s compatible with Google’s virtual assistant voice answering service which is honestly a lifesaver that’s stopped me from hearing so much spam.

bentsea,

Beyond Good & Evil 2 finally got a release date?

bentsea,

I’ll be honest… I don’t either. Same, river otter. Same.

bentsea,

Kinda love it.

bentsea,

I mean, who even cares when you’re mostly there for the goat anyway, right?

bentsea,

That’s about the only age it was right for 🤣

bentsea,
