It would be interesting to do it the Kotor way. In that game you could customise your character but there was also a canon version of the character which followed the light side ending and had specific clothing.
I thought i remembered that the writers considered revan to be female canonically too. In Kotor 2, in an early scene, atton refers to revan as “she” or “her” so potentially they intended that to be the case.
But in individual games it made no difference because you could customise.
Like when i read Harry Potter, i took the descriptions of the characters and they looked a certain way in my head, until the films came out and solidified how they all look to me. I think everyone did this. It didnt matter to me that they looked different in the films to how i imagined. It was just the “official” versions of them.
Funnily enough this is sort of my argument for confident drivers arguing that they are safe when driving at speeds way over the speed limit. Like yeah, you won’t crash in isolation. Like if this was a time trial, then sure, you would be number 1 in the world. But thats not driving. Driving with other people is more like mario kart. You can be the best driver in the in the world but all it takes is one green shell on their phone to not notice you and its all over.
One of my guesses was one of the correct words, but my last tap didn’t register, but honestly, i thought it was asking for popular films. I might have got it a little quicker with less guesses if i had realised.
Giant van. Slanted wall is the windshield, walls are the doors and back wall is seats. All painted on.
Or a space ship, same vibe.
Gotta be a themed room.
Could also make it the outside of the tardis from doctor who, so it’s bigger on the outside but technically the outside is the inside. You are outside the tardis when you are inside the room.
Or do it like harry potters under the stairs cupboard.
But the statement was in response to using mindflayers as the main antagonist. Or the big bad. Which we both agree, they were not. So whilst they were a big part of the plot they were not the main bad guy and so…
To circle back
They were used in bg3 (sort of)
Edit: also sort of doesnt mean “they didnt use them fully” it means they weren’t the big bad but they were very closely linked. The big bad was the netherbrain alongsode gortash. Not the mind flayers. You can look that up.
Wgen the final boss is a mindflayer(s) then come back to me and let me know. Until then, dont tell me what i meant when i said sort of…
Its a shame because they are really fun games. Lots of nostaloc references as well as twists on the original story, which keep this game fresh. Fun characters, voice acting has high and lows, the new take on old key scenes is great.
Remake is quite linear but still allows for exploration and finding missable secrets. Rebirth has a more open world style mixed with some linear parts to keep the pacing up.
The main thing is it makes a lot of the scenes and story beats from the OG a lot more impactful and meaningful. The animation and acting are (mostly) really good, and I’ve really enjoyed it so far.
Its easy to think its bloated because they had an entire game for the first few hours of the OG, but its not telling the exact same story, and it really doesn’t feel loated when you actually play.
It feels like a whole new game with a great combat system, and it’s really worth a go, imho.
This game was a lot of my childhood, but i can’t help but get the impression that booting it up today, it would play like trying to plug a usb cable in blind. It’s got to be janky as hell. Still the nostalgia would be worth it.
I watched a dunkey video for it, i dont think there is any dialogue from will smiths character. Like they didnt bother to record it. There was one or two instances where he spoke, and it wasn’t will smith.
You played 50+hours? If it was boring why did you give it that many hours?
I couldnt do that.
I didnt even give it the time of day to purchase it. After diablo immortal and the rest of what had been going on with blizzard around that time i knew the diablo 4 was going to be a cash grab and a waste of time.
Well, that sort of highlights my issue and why i assume they meant mobile data. If they are, in the joke, connected to WiFi, then they wouldn’t be surprised by the signal strength. Because they are near a router and therfore the signal is good enough to use. You aren’t typically able to connect to WiFi if the signal is below -70 -80 decibels.
I think its fairly clear that they meant mobile data as this is something you would be surprised to still have if you were lost in a cave.
Not that i wouldn’t be surprised to find WiFi down there, just that i wouldn’t be surprised by the strength of the WiFi signal if i was standing close enough to a router to see the SSID.
Hey, fair enough, dont really heckle comedians. Its their show, unless its something they actively seek in their audience, i wouldn’t think about it.
I didnt mean to over analyse the joke, i just asked a question about the synonimity of WiFi and mobile data and was challenged on the intent behind the use of the word WiFi, so i responded with my take on what was intended. It wasn’t to ruin the joke. It was to validate my question about the use of WiFi when i believe they meant mobile data.
Frankly you are the one who made it about ruining the joke.
Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?
I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?
Isn’t it part of the fantasy. You see the sexual things being done to the dick and it gets your horny because you imagine its your dick? Or rather fantasise about those things being done to you.

Single player (with optional co op multiplayer) but massively successful.
Not to beat a dead horse. Its just the first example that came to mind.
A huge amount of very successful indie games are single-player and even other AAA games.
They talk about the genre being dead but they forget that most games dont charge you to play them anymore. They make money through in game purchases selling cosmetics and battle pasees.
These game genres could be described as dead by the same criteria if they cost actual money.
In addition to that jimquisition that another user commented, remember that its easy to say “it doesnt affect me if i dont buy it” but people do buy it. Some people spend silly money on cosmetics and if people keep dojng that then it encourages game companies to spend less time on making the games good and more time on pumping out cosmetics.
The proof is in tbe pudding. Games are mostly shit now.
These are massive companies whos sole aim is to make money, not entertaining games. They dont care, they will just follow the money.
Is schrodinger’s bomb a good joke here? The bomb is not simultaneously on both squares until measured, it is only on one. It doesn’t change or err “spin”
Stephenie sterling has been an absolute legend covering this. Been watching the jimquisition for a long time now and i never miss an episode about kotick.
You joined lemmy after the reddit protests. Either you came here to make it a worse place or you came here because you disagree with the scummy shitty decisions that people like spez and bobby make so they can make more money.
So you are either suffering a huge amount of cognitive dissonance, smoking some mad copium, or you are a massive troll.
You have -2000 or so karma already so im guessing its all three.
