I remember I saw something about tweets years ago, but I came away with the impression she was just an out of touch old lady. Sorta like my dad, I assumed she'd never want to hurt trans people for their choices but just grew up with the idea that you can't change your gender and had a hard time adapting. My dad won't accept that pluto isn't a planet either. But yeah apparently she's more activly bad and not even as old as I thought. Resident Evil 4 has been a weird experience. I was very excited for it and then it is awesome but it's also just....resident evil 4? Which I just replayed a couple months ago. I don't know what I was expecting and that's my fault. The Last Spell meanwhile falls into that "learned the mechanics and now it's less fun as we grind" trap. I could probably set up some kinda script to fake input and level everything up real quick. I won't, but the problem is that I even wanted to. I know there are other maps, but I don't know how to unlock them. So the goal of the game is to protect the mages casting the titular "last spell." Ok so I do that. It's hard because the "seal" doesn't have much HP. I can see that more mages will grant it more HP, but not how to get more mages. It turns out to get two mages you have to let the thing you're supposed to defend at all costs fall, twice. All my game overs were "your heroes died." because like....AT ALL COSTS.

I don't know that this was everything, but from memory alpha:

Haha, well yeah but that's really only illogical if you don't want to accept a supernatural element. I know nothing about flying planes, I don't even enjoy being a passenger on one. So it seems totally insane to me, I think I'd rather starve on the ground than try to fly myself to safety. Maybe her sacrificing herself was the point, but as I recall they didn't really address it. Plus they were all "yaaaay" when it took off and then "oh no our friend exploded!" If they thought she was always doomed the takeoff should have been more bittersweet.

For me it's not even "how the hell was the plane still working" I'm used to shows ignoring stuff like that gasoline goes bad and things need maintenance. What got me was the insanity of Laura Lee learning to fly by reading the manual and thinking she was going to survive to get help. Like can you imagine learning to drive by reading your car's user manual? It would have been a bit better if they'd acknowledged that she had little hope of landing and it was a suicide mission with the hope that when they ID'd her they'd start asking questions about the first plane crash.

Is there no pre-loading on steam anymore? I expected by this point that I'd be able to download most of the Resident Evil 4 remake.

I thought it was really funny, how optimistic they were that he wasn't immediately eaten or torn in half. Edit: It's also funny to imagine that, at least prior to the discovery that the mines still exist, if the bird monster had knocked that kids helmet off while abducting him his dad and society would have been like "fuck 'em, that is not the way."

Have you considered seeing a doctor? They have creams and stuff.

I was thinking about this more and it's pretty odd. Order 66 was a sudden shocking thing. I didn't have the impression that the Jedi Temple was like besieged for a while. Yet in the episode it seems like there was a plan with these possibly Nabooian guys. Like how they were expecting others. I assume we'll learn more and it will eventually make sense.

The Last Spell is a fun game. It reminds me a lot of Darkest Dungeon, only instead of the dungeon bits it's FFT/X-Com gameplay. So better. It's also got that rouglike thing where you earn currency to purchase upgrades that carry over to the next attempt.

If he hadn't died, poor Bart the Bear would be out of work.

You're telling me that wasn't a real polar bear? Between that, Prey and Cocaine Bear it seems CGI bears are hard to do well.

I think they should just move some of the projects to disney+ and maybe de-escalate the stakes on a lot of them. Every movie shouldn't be about saving the world, or millions of people.

Oof, they're getting network pressure to develop spin-offs already. Please don't fuck this show up, Paramount.

Yeah. It kinda reminds me of the night's watch vows and how they don't actually prohibit sex, but it's treated like they do.

All I know is if they don't upgrade from a cow to a shark, these people have no idea what they're doing.

I just heard they're making a sequel/reboot to Twister.

They're allowed to take it off when they're alone. He does in season one a couple of times, most notably when the murder robot has to heal him.
