There’s an entire song about this.

The thing is, Viconia and ::: spoiler Throne of Bhaal spoilers Sarevok ::: had similar arcs in the previous games but I never got annoyed enough to not want them in my party. A character can be disagreeable without being insufferable.

I’ve had Sun Haven in my library for a while, but I’ve been holding off on playing it due to reviews calling out bugs at launch. Is it in good shape now that it’s had a few major updates? And how does it compare to the other juggernauts in the genre (old Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, and Stardew Valley)?

Also, it looks like the game is being review-bombed on Steam right now. Is that just due to the deluge of DLC with the latest update, or is there something bigger wrong with the game?

I think it’s more newsworthy that Iran asked the US for assistance in the first place.

And it’s partially your fault, you monster! /s

Roberts was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for his role in the Moonrock caper, as well as a separate offence of stealing dinosaur bones from a museum in Utah.

I’m afraid to ask what he did with the dinosaur bones!

Because their plan is to go all-in on Bethesda and “high-impact” titles. They don’t care if a game is good or beloved by fans if it doesn’t sell millions of copies at AAA prices.

They just had Starfield make a fortune based purely on Bethesda hype despite middling reception from the community. They know the next Fallout or Elder Scrolls will do even better regardless of quality, so that’s where their investment goes.

Probably one of the most famous examples, but the robots in The Matrix originally kept humans around as wetware CPUs using their spare brainpower. Studio execs forced the Wachowskis to change it to them using humans as batteries, even though that makes no sense. Agent Smith possessing someone in the real world in the sequels would have made a ton more sense with the original explanation.

“We’ve almost got some of their telecommunications cracked; the front end even runs on a laptop!” The Mac that sunk a thousand ships could have been merely clunky product placement, not a bafflingly stupid tech-on-film moment.

Wasn’t the in-movie explanation for that that all modern tech was secretly based on reverse engineered alien tech?

I mean technically…

Or some sort of vegetable chopper for megaflora vegetables that didn’t survive the Climate Wars.

“Perhaps for some sort of fertility rite.”

Luckily for them, Franklin is one of the few who would go after the older person in this equation. The man loved his GILFs.

It was unconventional, but nobody could argue with the success of the new undercover Witness Protection program.

I like the Vin Diesel film xXx. It’s loud, dumb, and nothing like what I usually enjoy, but somehow it manages to scratch enough mental itches that I’ll watch the whole thing through every few years.

A smart TV app from the guy who pulled Disney channels from the Tesla app due to a bruised ego over a Twitter argument? I can’t wait for this to crash and burn.

I had someone submit a pull request recently that, in addition to their actual changes, also removed every single parenthesis that wasn’t strictly necessary in a file full of 3D math functions. I know it was probably the fault of an autoformatter they used, but I was still the most offended I’ve ever been at a pull request.

Production is for testing and for data archiving. Think of the money we’ll save!

The Omen at seven. I wasn’t allowed to watch the “scary parts” so I only heard them. Turns out the audio design was way better than my parents gave them credit for. The sounds of the dog attack, falling shingles, and zombie nanny were burned into my brain for years.

Then I watched the movie properly as an adult and… it kind of sucked. The reality couldn’t compare to what my imagination conjured up from the sounds alone.
