    The FF7 remake combat stuff looked really good and I'm very optimistic about it now.

    Also you can see the materia in cloud's sword and that's fucking rad.

    The combat looking good made me extra sad they aren't putting it into a game I will play.

    I'm glad it looks like it might turn out well for those into it.

    But the whole project is something I wish wasn't happening.

    Perhaps you should embrace joy and play it instead!

    I'm still a little confused about what they're doing with the episodi--OH NO

    OH NO WHAT IF THEY'RE DARK TOWER MOVIEFYING IT

    AND YOU KILL SEPHIROTH IN MIDGAR AND THE GAME ENDS?!

    There's actually no way. People would riot. Mass Effect 3 ending would look like a minor disagreement.

    I'm pretty sure I chipped a tooth. I hate making dentist appointments, because you have to make an appointment for them to look at it and go "Yup, you chipped a tooth" and then make a second appointment to actually fix it.

    I am virtue signalling with my "I voted" sticker this morning.

    I mean it was just a primary for local candidates. But I voted. *preens*

    I voted in a small primary last week it felt amazing haha. I walked there just before they closed. did like 20 minutes of research.

    Captain America's shoulder pads are bad but everything else is basically fine. People are just feeling dissonance because they don't look like the actors we're familiar with, I think.

    The idea that it's a game as a service is by far the worse part. Give me a real fucking game, you cowards.

    I mean, yes that is part of it.

    But also it looks worse than games that have come out 10 years ago too.

    why on earth do they need to even look at it to confirm you chipped a tooth

    like, that's a phone call with the receptionist all "oh by the way, are you sure you've chipped it?" "yes there is a piece missing" "okay good", which is also a weird conversation. "how much of it is chipped" and "do you have the piece" are questions they'd ask since that affects what equipment they might need

    that's like having to get a diagnose for a missing fingertip

    I don't think this is accurate! Cap looks like no version of Cap I've ever seen in any medium. Thor looks like a crazed hobo. Black Widow looks like a placeholder face devoid of emotion or design. Banner looks like the faintly creepy scientist in a Resident Evil game who grins real wide near the end of the game and tries to murder you while spiders crawl out of his mouth.

    I can tell who Stark is meant to be from the head design alone, which makes it a little better than the others, I guess.

    you can't have people putting invisible paste on their teeth and sneaking in and stealing the extra toothstuff you try to put on them to fix it

    think of the cost. the waste.

    Yup! Been like this at multiple dentists. I've moved around a lot so it's usually my first appointment at that dentist and they always make me come back later for another appointment. It's real dumb!

    I did have tons of fun with Destiny for a while, but the amount of busywork necessary to grind your power level so you can actually play the tough strikes and raids and other stuff is unacceptable

    The addiction/compulsion-driven model, where people play games more for the loot and levels and skill points and rewards than for the actual fun of it, is enormously successful, and it's bad for everyone except the people using it to extract wealth, imo

    people loved forsaken for some reason, but the campaign and the shattered throne were the only good parts of the expansion

    actually playing after you get done with the campaign was a complete waste of time grinding out RNG bullshit

    the raid was good but the rewards structure was all RNG nonsense

    Yup. Its a consultation appointment. They might be able to just fix it there by smoothing it. That takes like 10 minutes.

    I feel like if they just would’ve sprung for the likenesses they’d make so much more money off of that game.

    Maybe that just wasn’t in the budget, but even if that was the case trickling out the Avengers one-by-one might’ve worked.

    Boo-urns.

    I always book two dentist appointments: A checkup and a spare for the week after if anything needs done. Then I can give it to a family member.

    Having done absolutely no research beyond looking at and disliking that one picture, I am unclear on what kind of game it is. Possibly I'm expecting too much from a game that isn't aiming very high. But those designs are a mix of unimaginative and uninspiring that end up squarely on bleh.

    This is kinda weird, tbh. They look generic, but like... how would they not? We don't know who these people are yet. I guess this is a design criticism, but aren't faces in these "realistic" games all just based on real faces?

    What I'm saying is you're being mean to the nice white placeholder guys who had their faces scanned for this game.

    I mean they're supposed to be the Avengers, right? We know exactly who they are. They're Steve Rogers and Tony Stark etc. I certainly appreciate there have been any number of different interpretations of those faces and characters over the years, but the ones in that screenshot are a mix of bad and bland.

    I guess I am being mean to the nice white placeholder guys who had their faces scanned, but I'm certain real life Thor guy looked less like a hobo that the guy in the screenshot.
