It’ll end up blocking vital neurotransmitters leaving us zombified and giving us an insatiable craving for brains

Yeah it’s so damn lazy, like they introduce these things like they’re in a vaccum, situationally just to have a cool scene and toss any kind of continuity aside

I should go back and read that again, I remember loving it so much. Also remember when Disney announced that the extended universe would be discarded to make room for new cannon and how much my heart sank hearing it.

Rogue One was really close to what I want the franchise to be. Having a universe with the force users instead of about the force users is so much more interesting.

I have always wished for a serious grown up version of Star Wars. Like not being afraid to sever limbs like they used to, or worrying about your scoundrels being too scoundrel-y. Also really taking an inventory of everything and seriously thinking about how it would interact.

Like to your point - no need to toss out the more magical force elements but maybe just tone it down a bit and ground them in reality a little better? Because it’s absolutely ridiculous how they’ve become these invincible laser blocking demigods. They should be afraid to deploy, just like anyone, if there’s going to be shooting. It’s just lazy writing most of the time and it would be wonderful to see what a skilled hand could actually do with it all.

We don’t need to split hairs - ‘sci-fi fantasy’ or ‘science fantasy’ is a real genre and common enough term.

I hope this turns out to be true but we have heard this a thousand times. ‘Don’t be evil, oh wait but profit…’

TALLER

This looks like the specific kind of tool I’ve been searching for for a long time. Looking forward to trying it out

Honestly they should already be VERY pissed off

I hate when people have boomboxes too

I mean being 22 and having that work history is pretty relevant. How else are they going to make the case that he’s nowhere near qualified enough for the position?

I really don’t know how to fight the obvious propaganda. It seems like it would help if we had a news media that could and would call it like it is but we’ll never see headlines like “Netanyahu uses blatantly hollow rhetoric to try to justify a genocidal war he started in a desperate attempt to stay in power”.

I would love this except the twist would be everything he gave up believing in turns out to be true

This particular example of refusing to learn from history is impressively gruesome.

I’m not sure that’s it - there are plenty of very successful games that simulate activities requiring less effort than getting laid.

Oh I’m unfortunately quite familiar with repressed American values

It stiles me as a bit absurd that we find simulated violence normal but simulated eroticism abnormal

Yep. And that’s just fine for Turnip and his corrupt admin. More chaos is good for them always.

I’m starting to understand why it always gets worse
