    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    I think he nailed it when he said it looks like “they’re virtue signaling narcissism”. Perhaps that’s the intended audience—this is supposed to appeal to narcissists everywhere? That’s a much more significant portion of the public than in previous generations. Does that make it “relevant “...

    Mirai Pulse and Guardian

    Someone said it looks like twin S5s, but I’d be much happier if it were quad S4s with ample room for ballistic ammo.

    “. . .oh, you brought pie with ya Dave. That’ll be excellent.” This guy is funny. I have to grant him his point. I don’t personally care that the Star of the upcoming Acolyte is a gay, black, female. Couldn’t care at all. I just want a good story that doesn’t shyt all over Lucas. But the lad’s...

    Mirai Pulse and Guardian

    So who has heard what about a new gravlev (Pulse) and heavy fighter (Guardian)?

    Deadlines for both games? Hidden Private investments? WTF is going on?

    Interesting and impressive that they had over 800 players on one shard last weekend. That’s twice the breakthrough they made last month. I know players don’t often care about these numbers, but these are numbers that directly reflect what play experience will be like, and whether object...

    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    “. . .many times it’s best to trick the audience into watching what you want to present. . .” So, it doesn’t really matter what the audience wants. It’s what the creators want that matters. Sounds suspiciously narcissist. Back about twenty years ago when I was studying screen writing and wrote...

    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    Maybe I’ve had it all wrong and the changes have little to do with post-modernism, and radical feminism and instead; maybe it’s just the narcissism of the producers, directors and writers showing through. How else can we understand such cavalier attitudes about giving people what they don’t...

    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    New Star Wars movie set to “piss people off”. “Taika Waititi has said his Star Wars film will be vastly different from anything audiences have seen before. And Waititi has a signature style that some may not want in the galaxy far, far away. The Academy Award winner even said that his Star Wars...

    Alien: Romulus

    I’m not calling it a shitty movie. If she used her smarts and skills to kill a Predator, it’s probably worth watching. If like in Rings of Power she was granted superhuman skills no one could possibly have, then that’s the sort of girl power I haven’t the digestive tract for. I loved the first...

    Blanchet looks perfect for this. View: https://youtu.be/l1u_1gG0IrM?si=EKK5-OW8uhNdXw38

    Alien: Romulus

    I missed this one because the notion of all the real warriors dying and a 90lbs woman killing a Predator sounded like a little too much girl power. So you’re saying they pulled it off or you made special allowances for shitty storytelling, just so long as it’s trendy?

    Alien: Romulus

    Looks like they’re going back to Riddly Scott’s original horror format, and I’m loving it! View: https://youtu.be/GTNMt84KT0k?si=kUVkR_i4yDKuyZsP

    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    So, the trailer for Acolyte is out. It doesn’t betray the central, gnostic theme; that one can be above good and evil, and that these are actually moral equivalents. I have said this before but I’ll say it again and again and again—this rewriting of Star Wars cosmology to suit failed artists by...

    Great stuff. Please note at time index 55m Zack explains they are removing staggering (what I was complaining about above) from all weapons, but are leaving flinching (a much more minor force reaction). View: https://youtu.be/6mL1Q1RJ-SE?si=xsYCRPAsj4CM3riO

    History was made today! Jump points work!

    The UEE will likely have laws that govern how close mines can be to their gates, so expect some limits there even in wild space. Jump points that don’t have gates will likely be fair game, especially including jumps between two Vanduul held systems, which is my main interest. Also, asteroid...

    Absolutely. I don’t understand why the Nautilus got such an underwhelming response. You’d think fans would organize as a future mine-laying corps planning to work together. If TEST had a dozen ships that planned to work together, that would be a serious force to recon with. With no Euclidean...

    Yes, but what if you can at least hide in the wormhole and send intelligence on who’s using it, without being spotted on either end? That would be a nice buff to the Turtle pilots.
