Join the league communities and start discussions! They could use more conversation. I’m resuming after not playing in a long time myself, probably because I decided to watch LCS when someone told me that a team besides C9 or TL won last split.
It’ll take me some time to catch up on all these changes, though lol. Hopefully the pro seasons resuming helps.
I feel old that I remember when people made this joke about Capcom - That they didn’t know how to count to 3. Now it’s just Valve, it’s for all their games instead of one, and I feel like it’s been true way longer than I could make the joke about Capcom lol.
For context, there was like a million versions of Street Fighter 2. (SF 2 : Champion Edition, SF II: Turbo, Super SF II: New Challengers, Super SF II: Turbo, Hyper SF II, it went on and on).
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
The problem is no one is ever going to put in the work and prep production effort that Jackson and his team did. It could be made better and more modern, but will it in our current environment? No, all the practical effects would be replaced by CGI, all the armor and costumes for the tons of extras would just be CGI, the extras themselves would be CGI, and it probably would be packed with meta commentary and jokes. Just look at The Hobbit compared to Lord of the Rings. It doesn’t work without all the effort and pre-production, and I don’t think we’re getting a studio to ever make that bet again. It was pure luck we got it the first time.
If you didn’t love the first one, I doubt you’ll like the others. I haven’t read all of them yet, but everyone I know who has read them all always started by enjoying the world of the first one first.
The same thing happens on Reddit, though. I think that’s kind of just the internet from now on. /r/worldnews is literally just a pro-Israel, anti-Palestine echo chamber so it’s nice to see another perspective on here. (I only browse Reddit at work not logged in for the record.) Over here, the hive mind on that seems to change thread to thread.
I like it because you could see how it could be convincing if you didn’t know him. And I always figured that’s how it is with both Lex Luthor and Doom, they sound like good guys to the people they manipulate, but their motivations are based on pure ego.
This is why I still believe in physical media. While most of my purchases are digital nowadays, I consider them disposable basically. For movies and games I really care about and want to be able to keep, I like physical.
Nah it’s pretty bad lol. They just slowly crank up which people are impacted, as fascism tends to do, so maybe you personally haven’t noticed. Or plenty of people have noticed and aren’t sure what the cause is (so they support fascists instead). But if you’re a woman, LGBTQ, a teacher, a student, poor, disabled, or tons of other things you will have noticed quality of life steadily getting worse. It’s just a lot of people aren’t sure what the cause is or how to fix it because political knowledge and participation is so low in this country.
At least strikes have been increasing in the industries which have unions. We just need wider union participation and that would be one more avenue to political participation normal workers could be involved in.
Not sure if you remember or heard but thousands of civilians were killed by Hamas a few days, including many who would probably march for peace with Palestine, children and old people. Hamas are not the good guys and it’s definitely complicated.
My high school Spanish teacher said she learned English after immigrating to the US by watching English soap operas like Days of Our Lives and things like that. I’m sure the same could be done but not sure how exactly. It would probably take a lot of active listening.
