TheLeon

And I get it if you want to remake some dialogue-heavy drama or something, maybe adapt the story for a different time and culture. CODA, one of my favorite movies of last year, was apparently a remake of a French movie nobody has ever heard of. But this is the simplest plot imaginable. You barely need subtitles. Big building full of bad guys. Reach the top to get main bad guy. I mean come on, dude from Linkin Park did the music. I don’t know how all of America hasn’t seen this movie already!

I think this is pretty funny, because The Raid is one of the most “accessible” foreign language movies I’ve ever seen.

Or at least a nice river.

Oh, how I’ve missed the classic Phase Lists

I’m probably going to end up watching every episode again before the finale on Thursday. I don’t want it to end!

Imagine if they were going up against Jared Leto in House of Gucci. It’s basically the same effect.

It would make sense for them to put more effort into this if was coming to more than just PS5

My brain doesn’t work for puzzles like this. Or at all.

Wildermyth on Steam some VR bundle that I impulsively bought but haven’t even redeemed any of the keys.

I’m actually “close” to very few people these days, and luckily they’re all pretty no-nonsense when it comes to all of this. Anyone in my extended family that is vocally anti-vax or MAGA or anything like that, I probably already cut ties with them for other reasons.

I need to rethink my life, because I’m with Biggie on this one.

I'm in danger of overhyping it, but seriously, this is an incredible show. Performance across the board are great (young Kirsten is maybe one of the best kid performances I've ever seen?), the writing is excellent. With each new episode, the scope of the show grows wider, while simultaneously looking deeper into these characters. It feels like peak Lost, but without the messy "big" questions that are impossible to answer in a satisfactory way. There's a great sense of mystery and tension surrounding everything, but it's always focused on smaller, more personal issues. Nobody is trying to solve the mystery of flu, for example, or discover the origin of the smoke monster (there is no smoke monster, unless they're saving that for the final episode). And I can't wait for this final episode. I can guess some of what will happen, but with so many things colliding, it could really go any way. At this point, I have complete trust in this creative team to deliver something satisfying.

I guess if it’s a full remake and not just another remaster like the PS4 version, that could be interesting. But other than a few tweaks to AI, I can’t think of much I would want done to that game.

Happy to help!

Lovely! I'll take a digital copy of Metroid Dread, please. As always, you are too kind to your loyal subjects.

I appreciate any help I can get, but keep in mind I'm a two-time college dropout with few concrete skills. I would be willing to relocate for the perfect job, and I do mean perfect because having my sister close by is one of the few things that's kept me going the last few years.

Cincinnati, so, kinda?

Much less exciting than Silicone Slopes, I’ll tell ya that much.

I haven’t been keeping up with this thread, sorry. Anyone have big plans for the anniversary?

All I want is a card that can run VR games well, without having to sell a kidney to a scalper.

I started to type out a big long rant about my job and that we are understaffed for idiotic reasons, but y’all don’t need that. For now I’m sticking around hoping that things will turn around (I keep hearing rumors that changes are finally coming), but if they don’t, I can take my newly acquired skills and shop them around town for a place that might give a shit about retaining good workers.

I always forget about the EA side of Game Pass. But I don’t regret the purchase. Those games are fantastic, and that was a great package.

This is a weird movie that, on my first impression, I think is bad. I don’t know if it’s just that my expectations were off because I only saw the first teaser, and so I was expecting more carnival. That was what I enjoyed the most, when the story moved beyond that I got a lot less interested, and there was still a lot of movie left.

Of course one of the only Xbox games I’ve bought in years (ME: Legendary Edition) is coming to Game Pass. I bet Cyberpunk will be added if/when they get their current gen update done.

This year, the best thing I've watched is an episode of Seinfeld (The Voice).
