Amber Heard this week has been dressing in a lot less militant way. Her hair has been down now. On the days of testimony with other people, she had her hair covering the one side of her face facing the jury because she's been seen smirking and stuff when she shouldn't be.

And even then, when he talked about awful things she did, she would look away from him and cover her mouth a little bit, clearly with a smug look on her face, then look back. There's a few clips online of her turning it off and on and it's pretty jarring.

Imagine being so messed up you can't stop smirking during testimony of the stuff you did

The actual writing is like a 9.5, but I think the open-ended WRPG format inherently makes it harder to care about a game's story.

The only boss moves in the game in the game I've been at a loss for how to handle are whenever a boss does two very quick attacks in succession that will catch your roll even if you dodge the first one. Maybe I'm supposed to use a shield for that but I don't want to. Margit did this sometimes, and the Misbegotten did it constantly.

does anyone else have stuttering issues on PC and know how to fix them? Game runs smooth otherwise but it's really hard to enjoy the game like this
Screen Mode - Borderless Windowed
Texture Quality - Medium
Shadow Quality - Maximum
Reflection Quality - Low
Shader Quality - Medium
Grass Quality - Medium
Everything Else - High

These are my settings and I've gotten almost zero stutter on a PC that barely passes the recommended system requirements.

What I will say just to clarify from earlier though is that there are still interesting games to do, even the more middling ones. Arkham Asylum got a lot more engagement than Arkham City is getting, so I think its more a general decline as its been a while. That is unfortunate but I no will keep going until we run out of worthwhile stuff.

Quoting this from the previous topic - this topic series has been going on for almost a year, so the general decline is expected. I actually think it's impressive that it continues to get as much traction as it does! It was a good idea, and has made for some fun times.

It's, uh, bad. There's an infodump in the beginning, another one halfway through, and one more right before the ending, and other than that the plot is basically non-existent. Possibly the worst way to tell a story. Basically nothing that happens makes sense, from beginning to end. The main villain is trash. There's one solid plot twist, you know the one.

I'd have to think pretty hard about whether this is even a better story than Other M or not. Frankly I lean towards not, but I haven't played Other M since its release. Definitely bottom two either way.

I think if you swap the Charizard line with, like, Salamence, it probably does not end up top 10. Being a starter (and on the cover of the game, no less) is the biggest push there is.
Well yes but at that point you're going so far as to remove a basic, intrinsic quality of the Pokemon. Might as well start altering stats and types as well. I'd almost assuredly like Charizard less if he was switched with Salamence, because part of the reason why Charizard is great is because he was my first Pokemon, and that's true for a lot of people. Doesn't make the love any less legitimate - which is the narrative running underneath this entire argument.

If you remove Charizard's pushing then you have to remove the pushing that every other Pokemon has received, and in a world where legendaries aren't given movies and Pikachu is just a rare electric Pokemon in Viridian forest, Charizard would absolutely be Top 10, at least among older fans who grew up with him. Like, what is so difficult to understand about a starter fire dragon resonating with young kids?

This set is one of the best examples of the degradation of Pokemon's overall art style. Every subsequent Pokemon looks less like a fantastical living creature and more like a weird cartoon character. Early designs incorporate body proportions that make sense, and they look way better for it.

tl;dr Charizard rules, keep pushing him to the moon Game Freak. Typhlosion is great too.

Some aspects of Star Wars have vague western elements (especially Tatooine) but the series as a whole is absolutely not. It's got:

1. A traditional hero's journey
2. An order of ancient wizards/monks
3. Glowing swords
4. A princess
5. Mystical, undefined powers, including telekinesis and telepathy
6. A prophecy about a chosen one
7. An empire and a rebellion
8. An evil emperor that laughs as he maniacally shoots lightning
9. Wise old mentors
10. Spirits

For the most part it's fantasy cosplaying as sci-fi.
