Feels like every 5 years some major Internet company looks at how many billions video games draws in, established markets with PC and consoles, and how much hype and marketing gets thrown around the space and decides they can do it better.

With zero understanding of what consumers want, expecting to be able to charge extra for content that no one asked for or services like steam offer for free, and usually with such an awful UI and interactions with the consumer you wonder if they see potential customers as anything but cattle to be figuratively slaughtered and try to milk as much currency as they can with overpriced subscription(s) and not-so-micro microtransactions.

Edit: For those that want examples, most recent one comes to mind is Stadia

Commander Keen 3, this was one of the areas you had to go through to get the secret level with schoolhouse and galactic basic to English translations.

That would be Durge. I think the main reason we never saw more of him was cause Kenobi killed him and there was never any build up to his arrival or any kind of mention of him after. Just some guy who could have been a general or some mercenary. Also a primary antagonist who just doesn’t talk or have any personality but being big strong guy definitely doesn’t add well to the tv formula.

Last Jedi really just doesn’t work for me, feels like they wanted to do anything but make a star wars film. But contractually obligated to make star wars.

I could write paragraphs about why I don’t like it but far more interested in hearing what people do like about it.

WRONG AGAIN

Fragile masculinity combined with wanting to appear sufficiently tech savvy to tech bro investors. Tech bros want nerds because pretty much every dollar they’ve ever made was off the back of some innovation of someone they consider a nerd, so Elon wants to be the biggest nerd to tech bros so they will throw even more money at his dumb projects.

Both of these people could fall off a cliff in a burning Tesla and nothing of value would be lost.

DOG VR would be amazing.

Same studio made a hulk game prior to prototype and a lot of similarities in how the player moves.

She made the dog from scratch. It’s not a modified creature, it’s an artificial lifeform she created. Augments/Genetic Manipulation is only illegal on citizens, not animals or artificial creatures.

Turn the rich into soap and clean this society up!

Yeah he hated they made him do it. /s

C-3PO was a parts kit. It wasn’t that Anakin designed his own brand new droid, he gathered enough parts from scrap yards to mash together his own based on schematics that would have been available to anyone who regularly works on droids. In our time it was about as impressive of a feat as building a bookshelf out of lumber you salvaged from a local dump pile. Impressive for a boy that age, but anyone with the time and tools could do it.

Please let this happen. It’d be fucking hilarious to watch the rat try to squirm out of xitter losing him even more money.

Good thing I don’t care about owning a tv I don’t already know how to jailbreak.

I just want to see the mods.

The turbine blades are made of fiber glass or carbon fiber. There is no process in effect to deal with them. Too big to crush, not worth scraping or recycling. They all go landfilla.

Are you implying there is a form of energy that doesn’t?

The single most energy dense source of power we have that uses the least amount of land including mining and refining compared to everything else, and still preferred method by NASA for powering anything bigger than a camera… is outdated? Yeah okay.

Do I get to keep my hot witch wife?
