People hate Ubisoft so much that they're just not reading the article or your full comments and are downvoting you anyway. What a time to be alive

I can definitely go for that. I think the book in its own right is important for that, and is a great overview of that topic, and wouldve been a lot more impactful if I naturally found it, read it, discussed it with others.

Instead I got the whole overview of what it was trying to do first, had already discussed everything it covers in school, and then they made us read it and it resulted in my experience of "why am I reading this, we sort of went over this in three different ways already"

I find the biggest difference in itch scratched between Diablo-like ARPGs and Halls of Torment is that the pacing is very different. Diablo has a lot more player control over when there are breaks in the action providing downtime for the player to sort through gear and abilities. Halls of Torment sort of has that when you're making choices, but it's waaaay faster

It has a bit of resemblance, in that it's a dark fantasy action game in which the player character fights a very large number of enemy units in order to level up and increase their power while fighting bosses interspersed throughout, occasionally upgrading abilities and acquiring gear. and of course the art style is directly cribbing Diablo 1.

But in the nitty gritty of how the combat works, how the gear and abilities work, the format of the levels and win condition of the game and pretty much everything else, it's very different from Diablo.

Had to read Animal Farm for school. Haven't read it since then, so this could be a now incorrect edgy high school opinion, but I felt that its allegory was so obvious and direct that it had no need to be written and was a waste of time to read when we could've just directly discussed communism instead.

It Takes Two. Phenomenal game, decent emotional story behind it

Personally I'm on chrome on mobile, so when I'm on that page I can just hit the star up to the right of the web address and it will bookmark it.

I actually set it as my homepage so I can just hit the home button and it takes me there, if you're also on chrome you should be able to tap the little box icon up there that shows how many tabs you have open, then hit the three dots icon and go to settings, then tap homepage and you can paste in the link

For me, it's this link: https://fedia.io/sub/threads/newest

This filters it by only my subscribed magazines, and then sorts them by newest

Personally I ended up bookmarking the newest page and just using that

Wouldn't that basically be a declaration of war?

I mean, not entirely. I went to see Longlegs recently, that was amazing and not a reboot rehash. When Makoto Shinkai releases an anime film my theater will have it there. I never thought I'd be able to see anime films on the big screen.

Studio Ghibli did a Ghibli Fest last year showing old movies again in theaters, I watched Spirited Away and it was great. Tickets are usually like 14 bucks, and yeah, buying snacks at a theater is for dummies, just sneak something in or have the self control to not snack at the movies.

You have some valid points, but are being very hyperbolic. Not all movies are reboots and it doesn't cost all that much compared to other date ideas and such as long as you have some self control.

I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I can get used to it.

I also feel like it's strangely anachronistic in referencing modern day trends and technology. Futurama began in a time before streaming and all of that existed, so hearing it reference these things sticks out like a sore thumb, but it's not like Futurama didn't already reference real life subjects outside of Sci Fi, it's just something I'll get used to as the novelty wears off and it settles in with the rest of the show in my mind.

Overall, not earth shatteringly good, but I enjoyed it, and I'll absolutely be on the hook to keep going as more episodes are released.
