I guess now we have to talk like EV3RY  BUDDY  'S FAVORITE [Number 1 Rated Salesman1997]

How’s the performance? Was it difficult to get running?

Gee, I must not’ve played that game.

Oh.

Sabonis/AD duel… interesting.

Oh yeah, graphics are great. If it had the level design quality and tone of the rest of the series I’d be a big fan

The collider isn’t for atom smashing, it’s for the minecart shotgun. Now which lever did I set to start it…

I appreciate 343 including 4 a lot honestly. From the COD quicktime events and the stereotypical Marvel villain intro, to every other fight being a DMR shootout with the shield bots, it’s the Force Awakens of Halo: all the iconography, none of the substance. If it wasn’t included I would have wondered about 343 Halo and why it has a controversial rep. Being able to jump straight in after playing the rest of Halo blind was a great way to see it for myself lol.

I’m going to see this in my nightmares.

He could maybe adopt the LeBron “reload and holster,” but with his suspension history he should avoid it all together…

I couldn’t get into it, but I do have several dozen hours on X4 :)

Legendary game, only thing that comes close to M&B Warband as a sandbox IMO (shoutouts to Daggerfall)

Baffling, there must have been some pretty dire issues behind the scenes. I guess we’ll have to see.

Welcome! I came in with the blackout a year or so ago, it’s been fun to see more people show up over the months!

Gothmog can finally achieve his dreams!

I respect that. After all, different denominations are still relevant for a reason :). And there is Biblical precedent for a fancy building (Solomon’s Temple).

In fairness, lots of Protestant churches have very plain furnishings as a direct reaction to this kind of opulence. Personally I’m torn. Cathedrals are beautiful to visit, but I don’t think I could ever actually attend somewhere that imposing without being constantly distracted by it. Now some Evangelicals have gone full-circle with megachurches that are even worse…

Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!

It’s also a factor that he’s getting closer and closer to Mordor right? Not to mention he was hungry, exhausted, sleep deprived, etc. with the ring physically near him 24/7. I haven’t read the books in a couple years so my memory is sketchy.

Nope!

It haunts my dreams.

If anything, media made for a malleable audience with low critical-thinking skills should be held to a higher standard, not lower. I still remember how much I loved The Hobbit as a child. Even at the age kids don’t remember stuff, you still set the groundwork for the rest of their lives. The argument insults kids and betrays the speaker’s low opinion of them.

It’s a shame discourse is still stuck where it was when SWSH came out. I hope the fandom can move forward some day and accept that a billion-dollar franchise isn’t immune from critique.
