Dear Leader Dreams of Sushi

North Korea is a mythically strange land, an Absurdistan, where almost nothing is known about the people or, more important, their missile-launching leaders. There is, however, one man, a humble sushi chef from Japan, who infiltrated the inner sanctum, becoming the Dear Leader's cook, confidant, and court jester. What is life like serving Kim Jong-il and his heir? A strange and dangerous gig where the food and drink never stop, the girls are all virgins, and you're never really safe. We sent Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Adam Johnson to meet the man who survived all the craziness.

Aww man.

Im just gonna give this one little bump.

Do you consider yourself alcoholic?

Awww yeah.

Its on most platforms. Can be a co-experience where the second player plays as Daffodil, the cat.

Its kind of like Stardew Valley, but with a definitive ending, and youre on a boat. Theres also no combat, but platforming and some mini games. You bond with the spirits youre guiding on your boat, build them a place to live, feed them, and give them hugs. Also, the animation is awesome.

When they put that in the HBO series people are going to say its the worst writing since Game of Thrones season 8.

She was great in that movie.

Write 10 short stories, about 1 a month. Everything else like my fitness goals are pretty much the same, just stay consistent.

I dont think theyve ever been interested in raw processing power. Theyve always just done their own thing in both consoles and the games.

Wow.

They got those rental scooters somewhere nearby?

I think there are positive ways to encourage people to branch out their tastes. In the words of Apu Nahasapemapedalon (?) - You know you can influence people without badgering them always.

it suffers from the typical open world game problem of "too many things to do that aren't worth doing",

This is one of my complaints about Ass Creed but I actually felt the opposite in Ghost. I discovered everything and had a blast doing it - even got the Platinum trophy.

2 instances and it was the same guy both times.

A few other cat calls happen as well.

VipaGTS posted...

Explain why what? Your theory is that no one likes it because its not marvel and stars a woman. Everyone loved the first one and it was not marvel and starred the same woman. Explain that.

I was talking about the its a mediocre movie line.

Tenlaar posted...

Little action. Weak antagonist. Lackluster Cheetah fight. Saves the world with an appeal to humanity.

I disagree with all those - but agree to disagree I guess haha.

Tyranthraxus posted...

What's wrong with the portrayal of men in WW84?

Nothing. But there are a few instances of creepy dudes being creepy and a lot of people hitting on both Diana and Barbara which might upset some of the more... sensitive types.

Tenlaar posted...

Just finished it. I expected it to be a lot better, actually pretty disappointed.

What parts were disappointing?

CaptainMarvel95 posted...

Yeah incels are complaining that it's showing attractive women getting sexually harassed. According to incels, this doesn't happen in the real world.

Its partly explained by the plot of the movie, but also a thing a lot of dudes dont know the extent of.

au_gold posted...

Better or worse than the first Wonder Woman?

My wife and I both liked it more. I can see how some people might like that the first was a bit more simple I guess so I dont know if thats a controversial pick.

refmon posted...

People liked the first one so your theory doesn't hold true

Thinking more on this, it may also have to do with the portrayal of a lot of the men in this movie.

Jabodie posted...

Mid tier marvel is mediocre so it checks out.

Well, that too. Id say something like Ant Man is pretty mediocre. This is better than Ant Man.

refmon posted...

People liked the first one so your theory doesn't hold true

its just a mediocre movie

Can you explain why?

Also it was nice to see a superhero movie where a section of it is actually devoted to them just being a hero and going around doing hero stuff, saving average people.

But because its DC and stars a woman a lot of people seem to have their undies in a twist over it. I though it was a good movie and I dont even like DC. Its not the best ever made, a few goofy things in there that were of a bit of a stretch, but overall really good.

That response didnt really make sense so I take it back haha. But you do have guys like Jon Stewart, Bill Maher and John Oliver.

One of my best ever probably haha.

No.

Not an action movie.

I wont count the Star Wars one because I took ages to reply.

Interested to know if @Airhammy 's other guesses included Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

By all means- if you want to take the next round, I'm down with that. Change it to what you feel works, as long as it's a movie

Okay - dont know if anyone is keen but Im thinking of MY favourite movie. Go!

Its an extremely slow start but its good.

Lets play again.

Beach. Basketball or weights. Video games. Some writing or reading. Hanging out with my partner. Delicious food either delivered or cooked at home, probably a pizza of some kind.
