I will never understand people who think this movie isn't funny - endlessly quotable:

"That's a lot of nuts!" "You should be able to beat him now!" "Beware his song about big butts, he beats you up while he plays it!"

I could go on. In a just world he would have gotten to make more films, and not just thumb parody movies.

Yeah - I don't want to be too dismissive. I've read interviews with him, and despite his success, he hasn't measurably changed his lifestyle or fallen into the traps a big influx of money can cause. It honestly reminds me of No Man's Sky (minus the redempetion arc) where enough money was made from the base product that it funds ongoing development for the forseeable future.

I mean this is great, props... But didn't he already make his nut with this game?? I mean I can play it on my fucking Tesla, I assume he got paid.

You sure?? This Embracer Group seems like some smart young men, and they make a compelling offer. Can I at least sell them a beloved fantasy classic?? As a treat?

No, any business major could tell you they release the game, then lay everyone off and sell the IP for parts!

Yeah, though they had mythologized it so much, they probably would have continued searching!

And it was written that no hand but his should wield the Sword held in the Stone, but he did draw it out, like fire in his hand, and his glory did burn the world. Thus did it begin. Thus do we sing his Rebirth. Thus do we sing the beginning.

Back in 2000 I had no idea they were basically just speed running 10 years of OG Gundam stories. I also didn't know that the things the characters said didn't make any sense, I just assumed I was too dumb to get it.

The second half especially is a complete mess, but the power of nostalgia makes it a beautiful mess.

I damned those bugs myself with a combo of napalm, flamethrower, and incendiary breaker.

But in all seriousness there are some huge bugs that can ruin a run you spent almost 40 minutes on... So I also bring a 500kg to deal with those.

My dream scenario is having the map almost cleared, and then BAM there's a sneak attack on Super Earth. We're all suddenly fighting on a new tileset and have to push back from the center of the map.

Whether or not the game needs this anti-cheat feature, players are still finding ways to give other players huge amounts of Samples (a grindable resource with limited amounts included in each mission) and spawn in unreleased equipment and stratagems.

So clearly the GameGuard isn't as useful as it could be.

And a personal order to get Autocannon kills.

Locked and loaded, get those bots exploded.

Absolutely, I tend to do my best to skirt engagements and pick off targets before getting in close. Being able to hammer hard targets every 10 seconds or so is great; especially when backing up a group, it's great fire support.

Even these middle-aged hack frauds can't deny that Andor is real good!

As someone who bought a new Tesla in February, this is very much true - I'm certainly never going to pay 18-goddamn-thousand dollars for it. I just did my first road trip in the new car and wasn't inclined to spend $200 to try it out. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control was more than suitable.

When they wanted $5k for it, I could imagine the value proposition (though I'd never spend that much), but the current price point is outrageous.

Not sure about this guys - not even Overwatch wants to be Overwatch right now...

MS Igloo? Is that you??

What I really need is that red urbie. Three times faster than a normal urbie... So it can move slightly faster than a geriatric driver circling a parking lot.

I mean that's great, though I can't help but feel Eagle 1 deserves better. She's always there when I need her... while Pelican 1... well, let's just say he's let me down plenty.

Last panel doesn't work. The little Helldiver should be ecstatic! It's always a good day to die for Super Earth.

Can't wait to meet metal with metal! Spill Oil in style!

I wish I weren't such a basic removed with the Breaker, but the way it can blow brood commander's legs clean off and dig through a warrior's armor is just too good. Plus, I'm generally on recoilless duty and can usually solo a Charger with a rocket into a front leg followed by a breaker clip into the exposed flesh.

BG3 was in development for 6 years, had a huge budget, and a development studio with experience making RPGs.

You can't expect a small, indie studio to match that when they've only had... Jesus 9 YEARS?!?!

Oh yeah, making it an FPS was a weird choice. But that wasn't a dig at the 1999 game, but at Red Eagle Entertainment, the group that announced and never made several video games over the years. Also responsible for the lousy attempt at adapting WoT as comics (which took 5 years to release 8 comics)... oh, AND the Winter Dragon TV pilot.

Never mind, my comment was almost entirely aimed at Red Eagle.

The Wheel of Time and licensing their IP rights to hack-frauds, name a more iconic duo.

Music, video games, comics, the Canadian TV pilot... I don't like the Amazon show, but at least it was actually you know, produced.

I agree with the CEO, wait. It's not worth getting right now.

...and if you don't buy it, maybe I can get through the damn queue.

It's also been great to see new affordable entry-level equipment become available. I had a friend finally get an espresso machine a few months ago, and I was able to point him to the Fellow Opus, which is only $195 ( and was on sale for $150).

To your point on "When to invest?" - there are certainly things this grinder could do better, but he has yet to hit a real problem in his coffee making. So sure, an $800 grinder might have fewer fines or more micro-adjustments, but that's not really offering any value to him at the moment.

After the Helldivers 2 release Sony started talking about getting more aggressive with PC releases, so I think we're going to see a lot less console only releases.

As a reasonably clever but not exceptionally bright dude myself, I'd say: start with the donut.

It's a classic blender tutorial that has been kept up to date with Blender's latest release, and will help you become familiar with most of Blender's major features.

After finishing that last month I've been making lightsabers, mountains, cities and bridges. Happy Blending!

Looks great! I just finished part 9, it's been a good way to familiarize myself with 4.0.

I'd recommend Killing Mr. Kringle.

It's a very silly one shot, and it takes 0 prep. It's a super-streamlined Forged in the Dark game where you're mischievous little scamps instead of scoundrels.

they probably can’t use the ZP aesthetic going forward.

Now I wouldn't say that:

You just gotta squint a bit.

"Our goal remains tricking as many people as possible into wasting money on this skinner box."

Yeah, it's kind of messed up that I read a 66 as a stunningly negative response.

"Gave me a terminal disease." - 6/10

Wow, this seems like the closest thing I've seen to someone other than Creative Assembly doing big tactical battles.

I've been pulling out my Aeropress more because my roaster keeps sending me tart, juicy roasts that do not work in milk drinks. I normally make espresso and a latte for my wife, but if I get something like this that I cannot make palatable for milk for the life of me, I'll just brew it with the Aeropress. Otherwise, I'm stuck trying to have two espresso grinds dialed in.

They were actually pretty small when they made Battletech. I know they pretty much pushed Unity to its limits at the time. Also, some of the design team that made Battletech so great left the company afterward.

It's pretty disappointing that Lamplighters' League doesn't give me the ability to blow parts off my enemies to build my own new troops so they can go out and blow up more enemies.

"Listen Rafael, I don't do deals with Devils. But... if you put the Mass Effect party select screen in here on a Hotkey... I'll be your removed for life."

I was hoping this was going to end with a call to help so I could then recommend Bunny Drop. Because the internet has poisoned my brain, so why not share the damage?
