Excited for this but man it’s been so nice playing PC games on my Ally . I’m assuming Deck owners feel the same way.

Letterboxd has been slowly filling that void for me

I actually loved this movie and hope this game brings that same quality especially humor and animation wise. Looking at Outright’s pedigree does not have me confident about it though …

Started Starfield of course and have been really enjoying it. I love the RPG elements already and it’s been a long time since I really catered a character to my liking rather than just taking the default. It’s giving me the same awe I had when I first played Mass Effect over 15 years ago (though I’m not sure if anything can beat that experience especially when you go to the Citadel). Action is fun and I like the three different POVs you can pick. Only complaint is the HDR seems a bit off where things look a bit greyish especially in the opening period.

Outside of Starfield, I’ve been playing Limbo again seeing it on GamePass. Never finished it when I was playing it on Android so finally going to give a chance to it now.

Lol Anthem has a 61 Critic Average with 13% Recommend and Starfield has an 88. Average with 94% Recommend…

That’s a very positive reaction to a game so I don’t know what kind of narrative you’re trying to build.

Never did I think I would see the day where a game gets majority positive sentiments but it’s the mainstream editorials that has the controversial lower scoring reviews. Will be interesting as we see more and more that it’s not the company but the reviewer matters more. Makes sense as a corporation doesn’t decide whether you like a game but if you know a reviewers taste, you can tell whether a game is good or not knowing their previous biases.

Our aversion to nuclear energy PR wise has been a disaster. It’s very difficult for the general public to fully buy into nuclear power with all the misinformation spread about it. Hope we start to slowly veer back towards it.

echoplex21 OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favorite fan-theory for a Movie or TV show you've watched?

Yeah I definitely agree with this one (but there’s definitely arguments both ways so nice for interpretation). I really enjoyed how May was basically Peter Parker’s (wo)man in the chair in ITSV.

echoplex21 OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favorite fan-theory for a Movie or TV show you've watched?

Actually I don’t think this was even a theory. This was the original intent but the studio thought it was too complex for the GA to understand.

echoplex21 OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favorite fan-theory for a Movie or TV show you've watched?

Lol okay I’ve never heard of this one . Any links where it’s more in depth?

echoplex21 OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favorite fan-theory for a Movie or TV show you've watched?

Oh not a fan of the JarJar one but the life force one is really intriguing. Would’ve been nice to show more hints of that in media such as Rebels, Kenobi, or the comics. Vader slowly forming doubt would also help with his decision to betray him in Jedi.

echoplex21 OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favorite fan-theory for a Movie or TV show you've watched?

I just re-watched Signs yesterday after what could be over a decade ago. This time I went in with the perspective of the very popular fan-theory that the aliens were demons the entire time. It really enhanced the movie for me and helped me appreciate the Reverend’s story more. The main theme of the movie should be on his story of believing again after the passing of her wife. The illogical actions of what’s considered very advanced aliens detracted from that and the overall movie suffered from this criticism. The theory of them being demons helped to alleviate and even enhance the movie for me and I enjoyed it far more upon re-watch.

Just to be clear , I’m fairly sure Shyamalan’s intention wasn’t for them to be demons as there are a lot of inconsistencies for that to be true. But if you can look past those issues, the movie becomes far more enjoyable with its theme of faith.

Fan theory for reference

Wasn’t this the plot of the mediocre Sicario sequel lol

I’m loving it here but yeah hope there’s a bit more engagement. I think the main thing people need to focus on is building up the more common communities. From there we can slowly branch out as more people join. If we spread out too thin we’re just going to get graveyard communities.

As we grow we can focus on expanding and getting more of those niche communities going .
