Isn't it more cringe to have an imaginary friend as an adult?

No.

It's extremely popular because it is a well polished Harry Potter game; something the world has been begging for for a long time. It does invoke that sense of magic that the films do so well, so if you're just looking to get a fresh hit of the Hogwarts world it's great. There are also a lot of really interesting and well designed characters. Most of all the world, particularly the castle, is beautifully and lovingly crafted.

The game buried beneath all that polish is a pretty basic-ass RPG. It is crammed with filler fetch/find quests. The dialogue system is just another exhaust all options non-system. The combat has some really cool ideas on paper but I personally ended up mostly mashing buttons against one of like 5 generic enemies most of the time. Also the only customization in this RPG is your appearance.

It's not a bad game by any means, but i wouldn't say it's great either.

I hate that single note more than any other note of music. I have been woken from a deep slumber by that stupid sad trombone note too damn many times.

Lmao you just reminded me that I DID watch the first episode of this forgettable mess.

He's a comedian. Until they explicitly express an opinion every controversial topic is simultaneously supported and not supported to allow for maximum joke potential.

Big big disagree with you there homie. McFarlane felt WAY out of his element when Orville switched to a purely serious motif. I couldn't finish the season which killed me because I had such high hopes. Every single character felt like they were in the passive aggressive cold shoulder portion of a marriage fight. Honestly couldn't give a shit if it comes back for a fourth season.

Is there someone more likely to execute Gaben's vision and follow in his footsteps?

If the pay isn't enough without the tip, then maybe they should consider getting a different job.

I'm not criticizing the workers for being underpaid.

Study: When questioned about continuing to work for poverty wages, gig workers across the nation respond with resounding "guess I just didn't think about it because I'm so goddamned stupid" ¯(ツ)/¯ .

Damn straight. I tried out Jerboa and was so disappointed that until Lemmy Sync was announced I just assumed I would no longer have a Reddit style app for a while.

The issue isn't the statement itself. It's the implication that white people are being victimized that folks are taking umbrage with.

Also, if we're being frank, DDG's results are damn near useless half the time.

It's like the opposite end of the SEO spectrum. Whereas Google just anchors onto certain keywords to regurgitate the same 4 listacles, DDG just sees your input for "my lawnmower won't start" and responds with "lawnmower huh? I dunno here's the history of John Deere or some shit, fuck off".

I'm just hungry.

You keep saying that the war wasn't started over slavery because this that and the other, then immediately follow with cause being due to the south seceding, the reasoning for their secession was due to the fact that the federal government would not enforce southern slavery laws.

So, by your own reasoning slavery was SPECIFICALLY the reason the war was started. Details matter, but what you are dealing in is called pedantry which only succeeds in confusing the issue in favor of those who support slavery.

More like a century now.

but $40/month is definitely enough to cover the costs of feeding a child.

$40 of what, rice and cheese slices? As the father of two young children I find this to be highly unlikely.

This makes me think of a lifelike animated hollow knight.

That is precisely how we have wound up in the current market.

Haha thanks! I actually ran that old image through the new --v6 for midjourney.
