Was he not aware of the paradox of tolerance and the Nazi bar parable?

You’re only 10 years old?!

Don’t listen to them 2020 was like last year. Also the 90s was ten years ago don’t let anyone tell you different.

Thoroughly unsurprising. Brings in the sponsorship cash and appeals to a large portion of the home audience. Will be interesting to see how he performs.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) was such a banger.

Isn’t Celeste supposed to be rather difficult? Or is that the Ori games? Or both? Regardless, I don’t think I’ll ever play these games sadly as I’m not a god gamer, and I especially suck at platforming. Same reason I don’t think I’ll ever attempt Hollow Knight either.

I just finished Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree today, after having to go to bed last night in the midst of fighting the last boss and coming back fresh today. That second phase definitely took me for a spin, or at least it did my particular build. Maybe a ranged build would have had an easier time. It was still a cool fight though, and that first phase was pretty much perfect.

I had a really good time with this game. The Soulslike Metroidvania with a PoE style skill tree ended up tickling me juuust right. I love theorycrafting and making builds, and it ended up being amazingly fun in this game. There is some interesting synergy you can setup by mixing and matching various classes’ skill trees, and I’m already thinking about a potential second playthrough. Though I’m actually equally tempted by going straight into NG+, as my Chaos daggers build with two teleport skills ended up being super fun to play.

I definitely recommend it, especially if you like these kinds of games. My playtime ended up at just over 40h, though that was with me exploring basically 100% and finding all the optional bosses. Not bad for a €40 game, and if you can get it on sale I’d call it a bargain.

I love KYLE.ENGINEERS. He pops out every February/March and lets me pretend I understand aero. Nothing better than mumbling “hm yes, vortices, I see” to yourself over a cup of coffee as you build hype over the coming season.

Yeah, looks like it. Though from the way he stumbled around and jumped into the side of the other turbine I can’t tell if he was just totally out of it on something and it was a horrible accident or if it was a suicide.

I meant Marko doesn’t see eye-to-eye with Horner. As far as I know Max loves Marko.

I would guess the former then because I really don’t think Max gives a shit about Horner. It’s Jos that hates him, and I don’t think he sees eye-to-eye with Marko either. But Max just cares about the car.

Yeah but, I don’t even think it’s about money. I think it’s just ineptly written. I feel like Lewis and whoever else were consulted did a horrible job at conveying what actually makes races exciting to watch and how to portray that in the movie.

After collecting my thoughts I’m thinking this tells us Red Bull are seriously worried about Max leaving and are trying to take desperate measures. It could be related to the sexual assault allegations but the timing seems off with that and I’m pretty sure they knew they were true all along.

What the fuck.

What upsets me most about the writing of the F1 Movie is that actual F1 is full of amazing stories like this. They could have easily written something like this, which would still have been thrilling for non-fans while simultaneously keeping us nerds happy.

I have very mixed feelings about it. I also adored the art and setting, and I really appreciate the historical research that has gone into making it. And there were some well written characters in there.

But man, the game is sloooooow. The last act in particular was like pulling teeth. Reading is fine when what you’re reading about is interesting. There were so many banal, shallow and uninteresting conversations in there that really tested my patience.

I just played through Pentiment and even on the fastest speed dialogues were painfully slow. It wouldn’t fix all the other pacing issues, but the text popping up instantly would be a huge improvement.

It stopped being a story with unpredictability and actual stakes. There was a time I felt like anyone was at risk, even “main characters”, and it was awesome. It just turned into more of a Sunday morning cartoon - which is fine - it’s just not for me.

I also got sick and tired of them doing the “guess who’s back from the dead?” plotline a bazillion times.

I played for a while and enjoyed it, but eventually it became clear the developers were taking both the story and the gameplay in directions I didn’t like.

Heavensward was a great story, Stormblood patch quests were amazing. Shadowbringers had its very high peaks of course but even there they had started doing things in the story I hated.
