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.

echoplex21 ,

Also Much much cheaper.

echoplex21 , (edited )

And honestly my biggest thing is pricing. I currently have GamePass so been grinding through a ton of games there. But I’ve been buying so many games on sale that are so much more expensive on the Switch for whatever reason.

echoplex21 ,

Letterboxd has been slowly filling that void for me

echoplex21 OP ,

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 …

echoplex21 ,

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.

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.

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.

How China became the king of new nuclear power, and how the U.S. is trying to stage a comeback (www.cnbc.com)

China has 21 nuclear reactors under construction which will have a capacity for generating more than 21 gigawatts of electricity, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. That is two and a half times more nuclear reactors under construction than any other country....

echoplex21 ,

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 ,

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

echoplex21 OP ,

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 ,

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

echoplex21 OP ,

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 ,

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.

Exclusive: Smuggler with ties to ISIS helped migrants enter US from Mexico, raising alarm bells across government (www.cnn.com)

The FBI is investigating more than a dozen Uzbek nationals allowed into the US after they sought asylum at the southern border with Mexico earlier this year, a scramble set off when US intelligence officials found that the migrants traveled with the help of a smuggler with ties to ISIS, according to multiple US officials....

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

echoplex21 ,

Very excited for this. This was one of my favorite games on 360 when it came out. Just recently played the remastered and felt it was a bit repetitive. Hope they’re able to get some variation going with the combat for the sequel.

I still need to go through the DLC. Has anyone gone through them?

echoplex21 ,

Did you play the AWE dlc?

echoplex21 ,

Still need to finish the Foundation DLC for Control! I really enjoyed the AWE dlc but wish I didn’t know Alan Wake 2 was being released before I played it. By the way what did you think of the Alan Wale dlc? The gameplay mechanics were getting a little tiresome.

echoplex21 ,

I really enjoyed Control. Just finished it the main story and AWE dlc recently. Gotta go through the foundation one now.

I loved both! I think I enjoyed Alan Wake more when I was playing it back on the 360. But looking back now I think Control is definitely the better game.AW just holds a special place with me as It was so unique for its time.

echoplex21 ,

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 .

Bangladesh police clash with opposition activists ahead of elections, leaving hundreds injured (apnews.com)

Police in northeastern Bangladesh used batons and tear gas to disperse opposition activists amid a political dispute over who would oversee the next election, which is expected to be held in January, police and activists said Sunday....

echoplex21 ,

The political scene there seems to have become Russian like. The opposition party seems to have been squashed and imprisoned leading to sham elections.

echoplex21 OP ,

Did not expect to see this. Looks like there was a reason they moved this from streaming to theaters. I was thinking of cancelling my A-List but this is a nice surprise to go see.

echoplex21 OP ,

I enjoyed the latest trailer but it did feel very generic to me. I guess it might be just well done but has a middle of the road story.

echoplex21 ,

I have the Rog Ally and I love it but there are some issues with this. I’m digging how this looks and the detachable controllers are really dope. I might just return mine and wait for this. Windows really needs to find a big picture mode to work. At least the Xbox App.

echoplex21 OP ,

That’s what I mean exactly.

That’s also a great idea about splitting it up. having both kind of dilutes the community to have both in one.

echoplex21 OP ,

Yeah that would be great. I think both ideas if implemented would be excellen. Both types of media in one comm dilutes what people may want to talk about. Maybe its because communities are smaller here so they don’t want each individual community to feel like there’s a dearth of content. I’m also subscribed to the movies community in lemmy.world and lemmy.ml as well but this definitely has the most activity.

echoplex21 ,

Like seeing the competition. I got the Rog Ally right now and loving it. Not sure I would want the joy cons type form factor though that might make portability easier.

echoplex21 ,

The Northman. Seeing Eggers with a huge budget was a sight to behold. Incredible cinematography and great performances from Skarsgard, Kidman, Claes, Defoe (man there’s so many to name). I love seeing Norse culture and mythology as well (play Hellblade if you ever get the chance).

I’m not sure if it’s considered an “original” considering it’s an adaptation of the classic The Lion King.

echoplex21 ,

It’s pretty depressing how we went from eagerly hoping and praying for a vaccine to come to now having to somehow convince people to take it when there’s a surge in cases.

echoplex21 ,

I appreciate Lina Khan at least trying even if it feels like a huge uphill battle . For example the Microsoft case; even though she lost, her stance on any large acquisition has ensured some concessions are made even before it goes to trial such as the COD and Cloud agreements.

echoplex21 ,

Honestly there wasn’t much of a case to begin tbh. Even the CMA’s best resort was going to cloud and that turned out also to be BS as well.

Higher salary, free lunch, commute costs covered. And should be hybrid instead of all five days in the office (Tues-Thurs).

Microsoft shuts down Cortana app on Windows 11 | The digital assistant was first part of Windows Phone and now it’s being discontinued on Windows.::Microsoft has discontinued Cortana on Windows 11. The digital assistant no longer functions as a standalone app, years after Microsoft shut down its Cortana iOS and Android apps.

Microsoft just keeps killing off Cortanas don’t they?

Not gonna lie, I love sports and don’t see any on my feed. In fact I’m subbed to a lot and even my subscribed tab is very sparse.

The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices (arstechnica.com)

For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in....

echoplex21 ,

At the moment I’m sharing Netflix/Gamepass with a friend who is sharing their Hbo/Hulu. Once they start cracking down on passwords im going to only subscribe when there is something there for me to watch.

Yeah I could resort to piracy but I want them to know why I subscribed and unsubscribed each time.

The day I go back to piracy is when they start drafting up 1/2 year contracts for their services. I don’t think it’s that far honestly . Probably another year or so we’ll see at least one streaming service try it .

echoplex21 ,

I actually recently got an ROG Ally cause I have prepaid GamePass and felt I was just watching TV instead of playing. I felt so guilty wasting my subscription and watching good games come and go. But once I got the Ally, I’ve been playing more than I ever been since I was a kid. Even when the wife is watching her shows I can just chill with her playing games.

echoplex21 ,

I think they’re using homosexuality as a front for not wanting the women of the country to watch. Wouldn’t want them to find any sense of empowerment from the movie. I honestly can’t even remember anything that was explicitly homosexual in the film.

echoplex21 ,

Lol my wife did say she was slightly concerned with my sexuality after I got out of the theater gushing over him.

echoplex21 ,

I think chiropractors also fall under this

echoplex21 ,

Question as a newbie with revanced, can I log in or will that get my account banned ?

echoplex21 ,

I just tried and having no issues so far :)

echoplex21 ,

I was so addicted to this game it was crazy. Finally able to pull myself away now . It’s also a fun game to just pick up and have a quick session commuting.

echoplex21 ,

Lol it’s a Good Place reference where they aren’t able to say fuck
