I never claimed to be impartial.

And those of this board who drape themselves in the vestments of "logic" and "rationality" are not those I care to be counted among.

Because their means always leads to a loss of ethics.

Those who would suggest an $1/hour minimum wage.

Those who would suggest that life is something that must be earned.

Those who posture various strata of "worth" to individuals based on what they can earn.

If that's "logic" and "rationality", then count me outta dis one.

Some CEman spoiled that for me here but was still surprised when it was revealed in the movie.

Well you didn't know for sure, right? Leaks can be wrong.

you can get a large portion of people to have the exact same nonsense opinions

This is something I've addressed in other topics. It's not about having an opinion, it's about how many people share your opinion, thus making you "right". It's about "being right".

One thing about the cottage industry of Not Liking Star Wars is that nailing down a single thing or series of things people don't like about it is a rabbit hole. There are so many factions these days with regards to Star Wars critique and so many are eager to tell you what makes theirs the better one.

I think these are questions you should be asking Remedy, not us.

I never looked at the leaks either, but I assume Palpatine is Rey's grandfather was a big one.

i'm not even sure how to appropriately respond to such a sweeping generalization. are you being intellectually honest?

Are you? What's stopping you from playing Control right now? Is it just because it's not Alan Wake 2?

Remember there are only two genders. Male and political.

Mah Tetris was free of all that extra baggage.

You joke, but behind the scenes Tetris was full of politics in terms of ownership all the way up to the 90s.

why didn't remedy just make alan wake 2?

Because they wanted to make something different and not the same game again.

Need to go back to the good old days when they kept politics separate from my vidja.

So at least before Metal Gear.

So it does bug you. Okay.

So it does bug you. Okay.

CyricZ

So the reason you're complaining is because they added "sexual orientation and gender identities" to the already existing statement?

Does it bug you to be reminded of that?

Does it bug you to know that there are a lot of gay and trans people who play video games?

CyricZ

Which game and what is the exact disclaimer?

---

CyricZ

They started that with the very first game, largely because it casts Muslims and Christians in a relatively bad light.

If the minimum wage was around $1/hour, all the manufacturing job would come back to the USA. It's so simple, China has such a strong workforce because they pay very little, therefore the cost to produce is almost just material, can't believe no one has caught on to this, we should really lower the minimum wage if we want a booming economy, simple supply and demand.

How many people would that kill.

Some long walks people will go just to convince themselves they're better.

She's the epitome of a female incel.

Somehow this is the comment that makes the least sense in this entire topic.

Would you care to elaborate?

CyricZ

...and you totally have the option of not making it the first level by going the Dark route first and playing a ho-hum Eggman level.

Then again, I can't imagine many people on this planet did the Dark route first.

CyricZ

Yeah, she'd freak out if someone said Merry Christmas.

Morning, Al.

I'm good. Folks are at Church while I'm heathening it up. They'll probably be back in an hour and we'll do the tree.

Also working on my Astral Chain guide. This is a difficult guide. >.>

So why was it ok for Rey to kill him then, and not at the beginning?

She didn't kill him. His own power consumed him. All she did was protect herself.

CyricZ

There are some things that hold up in that movie, but a lot more that doesn't.

CyricZ

Don't forget he didn't stop in RotJ either.

Maybe lightning takes some serious discipline to turn on and off. Maybe it's truly a risky double-edged sword.

Is that Batman the voice actor from Batman: The Brave and The Bold or just someone who sounds like him?

It's him. Diedrich Bader.
