I can see the appeal.

To me it’s pretty accurate. But to me there’s stuff that’s played straight that isn’t funny to me because it’s just normal stuff. But I guess it’s quirky if you’re not.

Or there’s the obnoxious friends who are quirky in the show. But I’ve known people like them in real life. So they’re either a headache to be around or straight up should not be enabled.

That’s how my newer games look at me as I say I have nothing to play. So I boot up an old game.

Actually, I have no time to commit to a new game. So I play games I’m familiar with that I can pick up after being away for 2 months with zero issues.

Please, I play Morrowind vanilla. Actually, I play it on my Series X.

I want America to prosper and I want to protect American values from right-wing radicals that are in charge. I’m very passionate about it. In fact, I live in a red state and I want it to just be better and no longer radicalized by lies and hate.

I very passionately want America to heal from this illness of hate and apathy.

If that makes me a bad person, then fuck me I guess.

That’s because people confuse nationalism with patriotism. I love my country, which is why I want it to be better. Others love their country because it gives them permission to be worse.

To be clear, it’s still not good. I support any kid that wants to sit out for the pledge or sit or kneel for the national anthem. It should always be non-obligatory. In fact, I don’t love the word “allegiance” to begin with.

But it would be significantly worse if the pledge of allegiance was to Donal Trump. Ultimately, that’s what many people are following, but it’s not default in schools to pledge allegiance to him or anything.

Okay, but tbf, pledging allegiance to the flag/country is much better than to the self alleged dictator.

Yeah, but the SNES became retro the moment the PS1 came out. That leap in tech was ridiculous.

I remember my mom getting me Halo 2 two months after the release date and how excited I was because I knew how hard it was to get. That was 2004. Halo 2 is drinking age now.

I remember getting a Wii after release but during one of the console drops. We were second in a line of about 10. I think they had like 4 available.

Agreed. Andrew was pretty much exactly how I imagine Spidey. An angry nerd who deflects with humor. Not the social outcast, weird kid that Tobey’s was.

I heard they offered Jeremy Renner like half as much for season 2 in early talks and the whole thing ended there. But I don’t remember any discussion of a second season before or after that.

So definitely Gwen?

That’s the bulk of what I’m talking about. The core of the movie is A+. Just give us more of that instead of the juvenile humor.

And toning down the humor would make anything left in funnier. Like, give me screaming goats once, then don’t have it again

Thor Love and Thunder by a mile.

What If? had a phenomenal season 1, even if it wasn’t great after that.

Secret Invasion had potential. But it would have needed to be very careful to get the most out of it. I never really had high expectations from it.

Someone said Doctor Strange 2, but IMO it was everything I wanted out of a Doctor Strange movie. DS1 was more of a letdown.

Eternals should have been a show. But it was well made and had some top-notch CGI.

Thor 4 though was the most frustrating because it’s so close to being an awesome movie. Just look at the deleted scene with Zeus. It’s so much better than the orgy conversation. And Gorr was fucking awesome, I just wanted to see more of him. I want them to spend some money, patch it up, and re-release it. I would go to the theaters again for it if they did.

Simultaneously, I’m hoping Superman, FF, and Thunderbolts will reignite consumer confidence. I like superhero movies and I want more of them.

It feels like there’s been “bad movie” burnout in the MCU starting with Black Widow and then Thor 4 doing the most damage to the brand.

Similarly in the DCEU how BvS and Suicide Squad did well, but broke consumer trust in the brand.

You know, I rewatched Thor 2 after watching Loki Season 1 (and Ragnarok and Infinity War and Endgame) and it was a lot better. I think it helped that I knew what to expect so it wasn’t as boring.

Does that seem quick? I feel like that’s usually when it’s hitting digital.

I absolutely loved Dr Strange 2. If anything, that should have been any example of how the MCU could break from the mold from time to time instead of being the same.

Black Widow on the other hand…

Maybe it’s that you can still download stuff on the PSP store, but you have to buy it from somewhere else like the PS3 or Vita stores. I’ll have to check and get back.

Yeah, I had a lot of PSP games saved on my PS3. That sucked when they got rid of transfers. If I remember right, it blocked save transfers for PS1 games too, which was a huge bonus from back in the day. Play on the road, then continue your game on the PS3.

The digital store might still open. I know you can buy games off the Vita’s store still (but you have to use an older style WIFI that is sometimes relegated to guest WIFI and you have to preload the money from another source).

My only problem with Crisis Core is that there’s so much easily accessible side content, I had to force myself to just stop and finish the story.

But I loved that game, and I wasn’t even a big fan of the original FF7.
