Oh, that I did not know about. Sounds even worse.

Thanks for the link, that was a fun read.

I’m guessing that thing from a few months ago where he was scared of gay people in a cartoon.

You’ve given us almost 100 posts and over 200 comments — you really have given a lot, even to just the fediverse. I don’t know what I can give in return, so I’ll give your blog a visit and here’s my thanks for giving us good content.

Well, she did awesome, so fuck those people.

I mean I don’t think this’ll work, but I don’t really get why anyone is mad about it. It was a little difficult to get used to but not exactly impossible. Seems like harmless fun.

I dunno if they would have made it without him ramming into Clu in a moment of clarity.

This was what turned me away from it, too. I loved the first one as a kid. I enjoyed most of the sequel(?) as an old person.

There’s a shit-ton more they could do in that universe, a place that seems to offer escapism from reality but comes burdened with its own conflicts that parallel ours — conflicts that are solved, largely, if I’m remembering right, through self-sacrifice in defiance of money-grubbing capitalists and power-hungry rogue-program autocrats.

There’s a lot of hope in the two movies; I didn’t get that feeling from the trailers for this one and will probably be skipping it.

That does sound pretty likely.

My understanding is that humor is a very common coping mechanism — in the face of an abuse of power this absurd, I imagine it’s sometimes all someone has the strength for.

I believe they’re drawing a parallel between anti-war sentiment in WWII and current events in Ukraine. I’m not sure who the #1 enemy would be, though; maybe that’s subjective.

Haven’t played this, but I think Bastion is the first game I remember doing the grandad voice thing. I enjoyed it there, not sure about liking it elsewhere.
