Magic can be anything as long as we are willing to twist the definition so much it describes fucking nothing

Because the poster was 12 when the Clone Wars TV show was out and people think what they watched as a kid was good basically automatically.

Samurai fucking loved guns practically as soon as they were introduced in the 16th century to Japan, and before that they would have been more proud of archery and horsemanship than swordsmanship anyway.

Using “the ick” unironically is way worse

Reading this thread makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills. This game was mediocre as fuck. The open world was practically empty. There were like five characters with anything but a superficial motivation. Combat is point and click nothingness, there is no strategy whatsoever and the AI is practically nonexistent. Constant bugs and graphical issues. The big fixes only fixes the very last thing.

gluck gluck gluck please let me pay even more money for the privilege of not being advertised to, corpo-daddy

This isn’t news.

well, I was all set to agree with them about decarbonizing and deindustrializing, but then they had PUNK in the name, and I prefer my revolutionary movements to be more POLITE THANK YOU

Shut up, Wesley

Neelix is basically the only character on Voyager, the writing is so wildly inconsistent or not present at all for the human characters other than maybe B’ellanna. The writers so clearly did not give a shit on VOY.

ETA I guess it does become the Seven of Nine show eventually, hardly an improvement, but she is technically a character (mean Data with T&A and PTSD).

It’s weird how some people claim to be sex positive but are just as prudish as the religious conservatives they rail against.

Would it help if she was 400 pounds? Then it’s body positivity, and we’re allowed to like that!

Iraq independently passes shitty law

This is all America’s fault even though they aren’t there and have nothing to do with it

Surely if left to their own devices, a woman and LGBT friendly paradise would be there

America Bad even when an independent country makes its own decision somehow

You realize that by reducing all political activity in Iraq to the invasion of Iraq, you are posing the Iraqi people as puppets with no will of their own?

Putin loves white nationalist bullshit lol

Cry harder, fash

So, apparently you can make as shitty a game as you like, as long as there’s a streaming tie in people will eat that shit up. - the lesson publishers will get from this whole thing

I guess it worked for Cyberpunk.

Holy shit you must be 13 if you think RvB is from the 90s.

What do you do when you have prepared for nothing but peace and someone else brings war? That’s what the idiom means: you don’t prepare for war because you want it, you prepare for war because war literally never happens when you would like except when you are the one invading. If you want peace, you have to be prepared to defend yourself against people who do not desire or understand peace.

Janeway is a monster and Tuvix was more interesting than either of his bland ass component characters.

Please don’t continue to beat this dead horse. What made Mass Effect great was Drew Karpyshyn’s ideas and world building, a solid cast of characters, along with a lot of superb visual design. Mass Effect had such an interesting, detailed, lived-in universe. The quality of writing in the games after the first is perfectly proportional to the amount of Drew Karpyshyn’s involvement, and it sharply declines after the first. A fifth game made purely out of a corporate desire for profit and not to tell a story is unlikely to yield better results, in my mind - see Mass Effect: Andromeda for evidence on that.

It’s probably the fact that the writing was god awful. The gameplay was OK if repetitive, but Mass Effect with bad writing is just Binary Domain.
