Thankfully they've updated the design to address the stick drift!

I'm the cash-shop-anocerous. All my microtransactions bleed your wallet like a phlebotomus.

That's wild. I really enjoyed it and recently rewatched it looking for all the shadow appearances of the devil and other clues sprinkled throughout. The ARG and trailers leading to release were fantastic imo as well.

That said, absolutely respect your opinion on it. I think its another movie like Hereditary that may be a victim of its own hype train after the initial buzz wears off.

Sometimes horror movies hit hard with the preview and opening audiences then get shredded by the 2nd wave of viewers. I try to track this mentally and look for films that find that 3rd wave of appreciation once we're 10 or so years away from the initial hype. Been seeing that happen a lot with the mid-late 90's post scream movies lately. Stuff that was considered utter drek then is being viewed as special now that were a few decades away.

in keeping with the all caps sentiment

FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!

I will go all in on a case of Mt Mist (balling on a budget) and plastic, bulk sack of fritos twists if that happened. My boy and I still load up Jet Moto 2 for a few races a couple times a year.

There's actually 2 recent versions.

A tv show that was pretty up its own ass in trying to paint the new Heathers as overtly millennial.

And a musical which I've only seen the TV adapted version of and it was... decent.

I dunno man, I grew up with the original as a favorite of my early and mid-teens so I probably have some sacred cows about it that prevent me from accepting any updates as something more than a pale imitation.

Thankfully Comcast also has a monopoly on Internet in large swathes of the US so they can fall back on that and raise prices to make sure line goes up again.

As a technicality you would be correct. Games can be removed from PS+ though and it also lauched day and date on Steam. So calling it F2P instead of a PS+ Day One would be a little harder for fans to swallow on PC where it would still have been $40. See also the aforementioned Halo Infinite which launched on Xbox first then PC but only the multiplayer component is F2P on both. You can play SP with Game Pass Ultimate but you need to purchase a license to do so on Steam.

Yeah! Project Titan or something, wasn't it?

Sony failing to get another live service game off the ground really highlights a few things.

  1. How hard it is to launch something in this space. Not only has the market moved away, it was also saturated long before they dropped Condord.

  2. Companies (still) fail to understand that a bad launch isn't exactly death. There are several ways they could of tried to salvage this instead of just Zaslav'ing it for a tax write off 2 weeks in. We've seen plenty of examples in the past 10 years of games that were able to turn themselves around and find success. No reason a company like Sony couldn't align resources to make it happen here.

  3. This should of been on PS+ Day One... I get not putting your shorttail, singleplayer, prestige titles up there at launch. I also get not wanting to go completely F2P, a microtransaction enabled MP game though? Why the hell wouldn't you want the biggest audience possible out the gate? Halo Infinite was a shit show at launch but it was free and has maintained a pretty damn solid user base for years because of it. Hell, I've even picked up a few season passes and cosmetics despite never playing a Halo MP game in the past (outside of lan'ing up for Halo 1 waaaaay back).

Lots more thoughts, but the schadenfreude is just too much right now to avoid jumping on a still warm corpse.

This movie is a certified cult classic for me. the story, acting, pacing, all great.

Logan Marshall-Greens physical reactions and face as STEM first takes over in the house fight scene is dope.
