Since I didn’t see it listed yet, fear of change.

Some folks are just fearful of change.

Rarely is a change proposal black and white. We can show you good data to support the change. We can look at it from a reputable source. We can look at how the change affected others. We can agree it’s most likely a good change.

But sometimes we fear it.

What if we’re wrong?

As a user this is content I would expect to see in this community and if the rules need clarification they should include posts like this.

Reading the notes in https://lemmy.world/post/2536430 (linked in the sidebar),

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

This post certainly relates to gaming, which to me means as currently worded fits rule #1.

All the ethics reports and claims, including the one I filed

I’m not against publishing the claims, but I hope it’s clear what was claimed and what was investigated. Additionally what the results of those investigations were.

If MTG claimed something and that investigation went nowhere, I want it to be clear that no information was found. That isn’t to say something didn’t happen, the investigation isn’t perfect, but I want a fully transparent report.

As an Android user, how do you propose I watch?

I’m aware that you released to some Android TV devices a few years ago, you haven’t released to the Android OS yet and as a Chromecast user I’m still out of luck.

You’re ignoring a huge section of the market, so go fuck yourself Apple. You don’t get to ignore users and then complain that no one is watching.

Do you remember when Game of Thrones was only available via HBO Go, which was only available via iOS devices and then Game of Thrones was the most pirated TV show? I FUCKING WONDER WHY???

I’ve (somehow?) watched a number of Apple shows and they are good shows. Mythic Quest, Shrinking, Severance. I’m you’re target audience, it’s time you pay attention to that audience. You’re not picking me up now, I’ve already found “other methods” but you can win me back if you make it easier. It’s going to take some time, but time to get started.

I know that’s a direct quote from the developer, but I disagree that is what actually happened.

The Animal Well journey began in two phases, Basso says: a quick stab at a Metroidvania-styled prototype in 2012, and a bespoke engine project that he took more seriously, which he began coding alone in 2014 during his day job’s off hours.

It was 2017, and some of the design ideas from his 2012 Metroidvania lark had continued pulling on him, so Basso “wrote off” his 3D engine as “a learning experience” and started anew with 2D search action as a priority.

It seems clear to me the prototype did more heavy lifting than he’s giving credit. He clearly had an established vision beginning with the prototype. He spent three years thinking 3D was the best way to achieve that goal, but that goal was clearly based on the prototype. At some point it was clear that 3D was drifting away from the core, so the switch to 2D and a renewed focus was the answer.

It’s also clear that they had a distinct art style in mind from the start.

For his new game, he wanted pixels to scale perfectly to a variety of common screen resolutions, along with visual effects that meshed well with his integer-scaled pixel art.

And that existing engines couldn’t meet that distinct art style.

That home-brew engine is what gives the game its unique look and can allow for unique game elements, but that initial prototype was clearly the guide.

Honestly it’s not just artists. Most people aren’t working their dream job. I’m doesn’t mean you don’t like your job, but if your dream job paid more, or had more availability, or more security, or whatever it is you’d probably be doing that. Luckily actors typically only have a given job for a few months a year, so they have more flexibility (which is also a risk if you don’t have steady work.)

Which button is the retaliate button?

My only regret.

Don’t worry, I got the actual match.

Exactly. The Ministry of Truth says _________ (fill in the blank as needed.)

It will sound like a government agency is providing recommendations, but in truth it’s whatever Elon says.

It won’t have government employees or have to follow government rules. It’s just an expensive government contractor with no rules. It won’t have to prove itself. Just “the algorithm” that has the answer to any problem. How did it arrive at that answer? Difficult to say, it’s proprietary. Assuming any accountability, it won’t be uncovered until years after the decision has already been made.

We also have the hanging Namor storyline. Is there someone Namor could be fighting that requires teaming up with Wakanda? Or someone Wakanda could be fighting that requires teaming up with Namor?

Right now the two nations are at peace, but only barely.

If someone can cause problems for them both it’s a good reason to have them form a more permanent union. Depending how Captain America: Brave New World goes, since it seems to have a focus on the Celestial in the ocean, that might give them something in common to look at. Namor focused on the ocean, and Wakanda focused on Vibranium vs Adamantium.

Adding to that I think a future T’Challa/Killmonger being seen as a leader, but providing the wrong message could be interesting. Maybe they’ve already been through this storyline, but made the wrong choice. Not to say they made the story choice, just one that doesn’t work in this universe. Assuming the wrong thing. Or going down a track that only leads to a poor victory.

Damn. I assumed you could just pay to win. I’m pretty sure white goes first.

Just pick a religion that has respawns, duh.

Sure, we’re getting Blade someday. But are we getting Mahershala Ali as Blade? I’m confident they can find someone to play Blade and that person will do great. But Mahershala Ali is who I want to see and I don’t know how long he’ll wait around.

It looks like Denzel is getting ready to retire, so a villain role makes more sense.

Also after Secret Wars they can probably just have any character appear, trying to figure out where they fit in.

He could also show up as an old man Black Panther, either T’Challa or reformed Killmonger, depending on the story they want to tell.

(Also since I cropped it, made via https://breakingbadintrocreator.kassellabs.io)

I agree. The overarching plot from season 1 worked well, but season 2 just couldn’t put it together. I’m not even sure the show needs an overarching plot. This season it looks like we’re going to meet other watchers so I’ll be curious to see how that works.

It was clearly self defense.

I’m bummed this is the last season, but I also expect it to come back in a few years. It has so much potential, for example as shown in this trailer, mutants like STORM!
