Light references can be fun but this movie was nearly fourth-wall breaking with how hard they were winking at the audience. When the character itself doesn’t even have a reason or know why they’re saying the line, just because it’s a reference, it begins to feel egregious and kinda icky. Tone helps, stuff like Deadpool can get away with it obviously but I have a hard time giving this one a pass.

You heard what he said. Fred.

They’re not good actors.

It’s definitely the perm thing lol. I remember enjoying this movie for what it is.

I just felt like I ran out of things to do and there was no point to keep playing.

To each their own of course, but it sounds like you basically just “beat” the game, in the same way someone beats Animal Crossing. You just stop playing eventually. I don’t see that as a negative if you enjoyed that time.

It’s an incredible game, a love letter to all the best aspects of the Harvest Moon series. My only real gripe is the NPC characters can feel a little stale and robotic after a while, but during a first playthrough they are all full of life.

Congrats to Billy Basso and to Bigmode for the positive reviews! Always good to see a new IP, studio, and even publisher come out the gate strong.

You’re right I forgot! I only remembered the headstone in the hunters dream just being there.

Closer to Bloodborne’s Amygdala, though it doesn’t take you to the DLC it does transport you somewhere else. But hey ER, BB, same difference.

Just leave already then, it’s fine.

That’s a very black and white way to look at the world but you do you.

Makes sense to be on that site, since a lot of Lemmy users are probably interested at least in part due to the FOSS nature of it. Maybe it doesn’t need to be phrased as a “warning” though, more just as an FYI. Seems like it could scare people away thinking it’s a data harvesting tool, but such is life.

I don’t really have a good answer for you, but I mean you yourself used the word “resistant” to exploits, not impervious. Nothing is bulletproof, so if a user has any concern, rational or not, what’s the harm in covering it?

Maybe your question really doesn’t have to do with the webcam question, it’s more about the level of trust you should or should not have in your software. And that, to me, depends largely on the individual.

What about this indicates AAA? Planned size of 100 employees, no projects announced yet, no mention of funding. Only thing I see is “cutting-edge” which could necessitate larger amounts of funding to develop, but that’s highly speculative and depends on the direction. I imagine after their Rocksteady experience, the people hired on from that company were looking for something different, not another “AAA” studio with shareholder oversight.

I wish that they would (could?) incorporate some gameplay clips along with their talking points. Sometimes I feel it’s hard to understand the complaint without a direct visual, but I know that opens up a can of worms regarding copyright and monetization.

If by inventory Tetris you mean something like RE4’s attaché case system, then no there’s no reorganizing like that - it’s closer to the Witcher 3’s system, with a big grid of square images for each item and a section to the left depicting the character and where equipment can be slotted in. It’s all just a bit cumbersome - item images are small and sometimes fairly generic, sorting options are few, juggling which characters are holding what, characters’ inventories that are back at camp can’t be accessed unless you go back and switch them into your party (AFAIK), which involves telling one character to stay behind, confirming with them, going over to the new character, asking them to join, THEN accessing their inventory.

I mean, it’s just a lot of caffeine. I’m sure some people have no problem, but others will be off the walls or just sick. What’s your typical caffeine intake? If you just want a hot drink to sip on for longer, try a couple shots of espresso and top the mug off with hot water for an Americano.

Believe me, those who have played them don’t really get it either.

It’s a new IP but all the reviews I saw, from sci-fi fans and otherwise, emphasized how unoriginal and generic the plot points were. All style and no substance, and I think moviegoers and especially fans of the genre are more than a little hungry for substance in their sci-fi.

Of course, arthouse does not automatically equal good. They’re good movies because they’re good ideas from people with a vision, and A24 gave these people funding and a platform for their vision, (seemingly) without asking them to make compromises for the sake of profit. This new strategy could take that away.

People will always find ways to make their arthouse movies. The difference is A24 made them easy to find and arguably popular.
