I mean. I'm not siding with Renner, here. I initially pointed out an observation I didn't see anybody making.

I replied to you specifically because it seemed to me you were discounting Renners contribution to the success of the first season. I do think it's fine for him to be publicly pissed about this, if what he's saying is true. I don't know either way but if he left those meetings feeling that way, there may be a reason and there's no reason to assume he's just a rich guy being a rich asshole.

So in your estimation, you don't think he should be upset that Disney, one of the biggest organizations in the world, is refusing to pay him what he believes is value to be?

Many people are ignoring another part of the formula. Actors draw views. Renner is the main interest I have in Hawkeye. Kate Bishop is a fine character, but personally Renner is why I watched season 1. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'nofrio are the reason I watched the new Daredevil series.

Renner might be blowing it out of proportion, but the reality is without his involvement I'm probably going to skip it.

I'll give each character a chance to stand on their own but I'm not personally interested in Kate Bishop as a story driver.

I completely agree with that sentiment. I think the d20 itself is flawed in that it provides linear probability. I'm more a fan of 3d6 for the bell curve it provides.

When it comes to the damage, I can agree that a degree of success should play into it. I do like how white wolf systems carried the success level over into the damage roll.

I generally agree. For one shots, there are much slimmer systems out there.

I'm not sure I agree about splitting hit and damage feeling weird, but it definitely is slow. But overall, yeah. DnD is generally one of my least favorite systems to play in.

The post isn't claiming perfection. It's claiming production ready. Very different things.

The confusion there is the claim that good/perfect means done. It means ready for use and extensible.

Note: I'm not agreeing/disagreeing with the claim. Just clarifying the point

You sure? You seem rather confused by the math, my friend.

As much as I don't like OpenAI, I'm not looking forward to it going under. This new industry sucks, but it's going to suck more when turns out only already established megacorps can afford to enter the market.

I'm gonna take a slightly different approach on this one.

If you live in an area which gets to sub zero temperatures and didn't consider the impact that has on batteries before buying electric, this one's on you.

Don't exclude. There are definitely some self important people driving older Teslas, too. A lot of previous BMW drivers made the switch years ago for image reasons.

Hey now, they aren't Nazis. Nazis at least believe in something, even if it's something terrible.

The only thing making his life difficult is his constant need for attention

 

I've been playing Final Fantasy 16 for the last couple of weeks and feel really let down by the hype and reviews of this game.

While I enjoy the deviation of the combat the rest of the game feels very incomplete. The vocal animations are frequently off. The travel from area to area is just an overworld map to select travel from one small area to another. There are like 2 or 3 side quests at a time and a whole vendor that will send you to side quests in different areas, but his menu is always empty.

In general, the graphics are roughly the same as FFXIV. The animations and music seem ripped right out of 14 as well. And the combat and akin to the main series Kingdom Hearts games.

Overall I'm enjoying it, but these 7-9 out of 10 reviews that are calling it some massive achievement seem really undeserved.
