I wish governments still believed in regulations instead of whatever this shit is.

Darn those extra lucky Irish.
In Fact it’s well known that they fought overwhelming on the north side of the US civil war because they knew which side was gonna win from their luck, and it had nothing to do with recognizing slavery as another form of the serfdom they just escaped from.

Yeah, but the Italians came with basically the rest of Eastern/southern Europe for work around that time and were just wrapped up in the generic anti-immigration zeitgeist and the Polish, Slavs, Greek, etc didn’t complain as much and didn’t even manage to turn a bedtime story about a creepy Italian dude into a story of how they secretly actually founded America first.
Though apparently up to like half of Italian immigrants were known to return home after they saved up enough money from US factory work. I think they just didn’t like being in the US.

LOL. Yeah. I remember one saying that they didn’t have any power to handle the comment sections and that I didn’t understand how hard it was just to have to delete bot comments, so it wasn’t their job to keep it civil.
Want the power and responsibility but why did it have to come with responsibility, right?

The Irish was the last white European immigrant community that was treated poorly after immigration so by claiming to be part of that they get to claim to be part of that oppression and use it to pretend to themselves they are an underdog regardless how much their existence would be unlike any actual Irish immigrants.

Same. I hope we get some great parody movies out of these times, and this is a pretty wild one to get a sequel for. It’s like Christmas if Santa got drunk and forgot to deliver toys for a decade but really made up for it when he got sober again.
Just an absolute joy. - Comment on Spaceballs 2 | Announcement 4 days ago:
I think John Candy would have found it funnier to not be dignified. But he’d also likely just be honored anyways to be included.

Don’t put that out into the world. We have enough horrors as it is.

I’m worried he just got into the chocolate on the ship. I hope they got a really nice shoebox and a lovely plot in the yard for him. He was his own best friend after all.
- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 1 week ago:
Usual trick I would think of is to make a simple veggie broth and freeze it after reduction. Tomatoes and cauliflower stems should be good for that and watermelon same but juicing it and freezing it.
At least it stores better and longer and reducing the air and space it takes up reduces it as well once it’s just a liquid. Freezing in baking pans helps it go quicker to even though it is more smaller batches. - Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 1 week ago:
Wow you didn’t use a single brain cell considering that from any other perspective than your own with that comment.
Just wanted to confirm that, cause that is the vibe you seem to have purposely put out there.

Cast salaries have been through the roof lately in Hollywood

Woah woah. The animated sequels are good. Heck they even give stitch cancer (no I am not joking) the last one was childish but also I think they just wanted to celebrate the show by that point.
I don’t think them having the budget for theatrical runs should be the standard for good or “poopy”

No. It’s pretty solid meh. Just because people ignore it to watch the solid meh movie from Disney, is just separate to the criticism.
People all over are happy for the digital baby sitter for a couple hours and this is one of the most beloved characters in the world if you have ever seen the amount of stitch merchandise. The majority agrees it’s ok at best but we don’t live in a legit meritocracy and Disney will get its money back not in spite of it but just because.

I don’t know. Maybe they will kill him off since they said they want to to do justice for the character and it is just pickup lines they need Huss for.
Have to wait to find out unfortunately.

Still don’t know how this studio made this in all its glory and also is making a cocomelon movie.
The art is always an accident to the profiteering. - Comment on It's a mysteria 2 weeks ago:
Well I have had it 3 times (Caramel apples, Hummus, Ice Cream)
And I think I made that face each time sooo… Yeah I think it works.

I have bad news and news that you can take any way you want.
The original VA died 6 episodes of recording in and they got the VA of Khan and Cotton to take over, Toby Huss.
- Comment on Considering the old model is made with shrink-wrapping this is viable option 2 weeks ago:
No. Vastly different levels of complexity and specialization.
You just want to believe Wikipedia deep dives account for actual self knowledge. It just makes them a ke to repeat the arguments of others, not add their own opinion. They didn’t say that experts agree it wasn’t for muscle attachment they made their own statement regurgitating the words of others.
I’m just not willing to hold undue faith because it makes me feel better.

Catherine deserves to be on someone’s list so glad you have it and Gravity rush is a good choice cause it was a fun use of mechanics.
- Comment on Considering the old model is made with shrink-wrapping this is viable option 2 weeks ago:
That’s such a fine point to be that knowledged but just shy of being able to actual speak confidently on the matter. It means they don’t have the knowledge to speak confidently on the matter that they just did. Paradoxical.
They don’t speak for their own credentials and it’s unwise to trust a confident statement made right after saying:
I’m not an expert but… - Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
I still think the series is actually the best Space Opera and I do mean opera. But they have some great stories.
I’d love another Riddick game too. I’ll settle for the 4th movie I guess for now
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
I do think the Spyro games are probably the absolute best of the collect-a-thon genre. Joyful and fun and with fun puzzles. I am worried I am too biased to say it though since I have 120%/100%/117% beat the games multiple multiple multiple times.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
Right… So what game gets the most of those bits the most right?
That’s how you start to separate out the best. Not that complex.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
How do you even begin to care about anything in that game when you are basically mashing buttons for hours and just listening to people complain about how shit life is?
I get its an art piece of living the existence you are thrown into but it feels like a confusing mess even gameplay wise for the starting hours that people that have finished it I feel miss how unfun it is at first.
I didn’t even know why I was now stuck on the other side of a wall in a union dispute and I just couldn’t be bothered to restart the game to try something else after how long it took to get dressed the first time.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
It’s such a good puzzle box but I don’t think I would call The Room, a masterpiece while it’s still yet another great puzzle box game.
They are masterpieces in puzzles but maybe not games? I dunno why I don’t consider them.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
I always forget how absolutely awesome Escape From Butcher Bay is until I’m reminded of its existence and its shockingly unfair to that game.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
So I think it’s actually really important that the games that would be co sidered objective masterpieces would have to overcome any language barriers and be an experience approachable by anyone. You can learn the mechanics to enjoy the gameplay without words
So:- Portal
- Journey
- Binding of Isaac
- Shadow of the Colossus
- Metro 2033 (which I have sat on and I believe even if it was entirely in Russian you would still get it )
- DOOM (original you don’t need words you shoot)
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Katamari Damacy
Then there are dialogue option stories that are fantastic stories that I could sider greats but shareable masterpieces is hard to say as they rely on you speaking the language both literally and then gameplay wise:
- Stanley Parable
- Outer Wilds
- Tales From the Borderlands
- To the Moon
- Talos Principle
- Golf Club Wasteland
- Dead Space
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
You are wrong about borderlands as there is one more and it is pretty muc h perfect.
Tales from the Borderlands.
Shame they never made a sequel for it but the artistry, music and story are all so well crafted. Someone loved Borderlands making that. - Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
I would absolutely put that game up high on the lists as it is a perfect piece of atmospheric gameplay of misery incarnate.
