Within the last couple weeks we had an MO to hold five bug planets. Between the bug-only players and the MO-only players, we were doing excellently. It was also one of the first MOs where supply lines were visible in-game, so players knew where to go, and how to cut off bugs from taking planets back with defense. Arrowhead thought we were doing too well, so the bugs randomly took back a planet that had all supply lines cut off, in order to put more pressure on the order. It’s not just a yo-yo, Arrowhead is also insistent that even if we do well, they’ll undermine the established rules to get the result they want.
I wasn’t prepared for either the level of animation or how weird it got.
It’s well-deserved confidence. The game alone would have been intriguing with just the sheer amount of choice that’s available, but the fact that it’s all excellently voiced is icing on the truly delicious cake. It’s one of those games that probably will only keep your attention for one or two full playthroughs, but those playthroughs will definitely be different for every person. If you want to give it a shot during the Summer Sale, you can finish at least the first part of a playthrough well under the refund time for Steam, in case it’s not your kind of game.
They’re pretty much only in line with the people who like his humor, but SsethTzeentach has some funny ones.
It was, for most of the movie, absolutely not a good time, but that was exactly the vibe they were going for. It’s cringey, anxiety-inducing, and in a lot of parts like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Definitely worth seeing, but probably not one I’d rewatch in a heartbeat.
If I had to guess, he’s drawing parallels between Newman and Cruise’s careers. The Hustler was the first of several films Newman made in a short period of time that marketed him as a hero. It wasn’t his first Oscar nomination, but it did earn him one.
The Sting was a huge box-office success Newman was in after a bunch of flops, and helped bring him back into the spotlight.
The Color of Money finally earned Newman an Oscar, and it was reprising the same character he played in The Hustler after 25 years. You can definitely see parallels there between him and Cruise with Top Gun (36 years between it and the sequel), and weirdly enough Cruise is also in The Color of Money.
I started using Discord during the pandemic to talk with co-workers in our off time. One of them is an anti-fur. The vast majority of people that I speak to on the platform are furries, but because I’ve got people I know IRL connected, I’ve kept the default blank profile pic.
