5·1 month agoCan I just get a solid sequel or reboot on tremors?
Don’t get me wrong, I love the camp it descended into, but the first one was great because half of the magic is that the characters were so ordinary and mundane (instead of wisecracking graboid hunters).
Fuck it what am I even saying, slap that face hugger on el blanco and giddy up!

But we why know he belongs here haha.
Worf sends son away disappointed he’s not Klingon enough. Son comes back with his Klingon cranked to 11. Worf now disappointed son is not an orthodox Klingon warrior cast in his image 🤷♀️
Plus he’s also a super shitty brother 👌
3·2 months agoGonna agree with you for opposite reasons. The combat in the postgame dungeon, Costlemark I think. The one where you can’t use any healing items, it was a worthy challenge.
The other postgame dungeon, the platforming one was, was way better than many final fantasy challenges like jumping rope and dodging lighting.
Special mention for the incredible soundtrack, the Matoya’s Cave remix especially.
But ya everything before the postgame, the umm main game I guess, was ridiculously short. Imagine FFIV ending when you drill into the underworld, or FFVI ending when the the world breaks, that’s what the story in FF15 feels like. As soon as you depart to the next continent you get rug pulled by a time jump that takes you to the final boss 🫠
Xbox was so great when it launched. Thanks for bringing us decent length controller cables, hard drives, and Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay 👌
Nowadays, uhh thanks for making an unnecessary media center I guess 🤷♀️
The mediocrity as I understand was from the rift that developed in the team about the vision of the game being a sandbox vs a campaign.
However, I witnessed a new divide among the team which was less well-known; as more core game developers (such as myself) were recruited to help finish the game, a cultural gap emerged between the newer ‘gameplay’ team and the older ‘Sim’ team. The former group (which went on to spearhead Darkspore) was primarily concerned with how Spore played as a game. Were the mechanics engaging? Did the player’s choices matter? Was the game replayable? In contrast, the ‘Sim’ team carried the traditional Maxis DNA and was more comfortable with Spore as a toy box. Could the players express themselves? Was sharing one’s creations with other players meaningful? Did the game spark the imagination?
These cultural divides ruined Spore’s chances to be a focused, cohesive experience.

The comm:
As for paleontology, I personally think it’s just a bunch of hogwash if we go further back than around 5,000 years
Me: 🤮
Ya that’s kinda what I’m trying to get at. Like Latin, Arabic was useful and so it was used.
If such Latin erased them then arguably such Arabic equally erased them. Or maybe there was no erasure but instead pragmatism 🤷♀️
Are you saying these folks aren’t Arabs?
But why would they have Arab names instead of names from their own language?
So peculiar.
Edit: on further thought maybe we’re ready for a lemmy ask history community. This could have been a great discussion if it started with a question about Latin naming instead of an assumption of cultureal erasure.
Hear me out, it’s a Big Sword conspiracy. They wanted to be the only weapon marketed to the cross-shaped-violence demographic.
Warrior pope you say? I think I read his biography once
Private Lee Lemon may well be the finest recruit I’ve seen in all my years of service. That young man fills me with hope and some other emotions that are weird and deeply confusing to me.

Meanwhile, Easter
Gah what a fucking tool.
Well at least he isn’t getting paid when I rewatch Ace Ventura 2 on plex 😎
🤣😂
not Roman
Koln: am I a joke to you?
and then that Cato MFer ups and kills himself just before I was gonna kill him with kindness. Can you believe that? What a dick right?
How I imagine Caesar retold the story over dinner.
Doppelsöldner has entered the chat 😎
Doppelsöldner (“double-mercenaries”, “double-pay men”,[1] from German doppel- meaning double, Söldner meaning mercenary) were Landsknechte in 16th-century Germany who volunteered to fight in the front line, taking on extra risk, in exchange for double payment.
I still haven’t seen the last one with Napoleon Dynamite, but I have seen and enjoyed the rest. I love the camp, what can I say 😎
