As someone who bought “Super Mario Party” I feel you. We got at best 1/2 of a game and then nothing. I’m not sure I can be convinced to buy a Mario Party game again.

the base game is still very robust for a free-to-play title and that what is usually offered for paid tickets are extra items or Shiny Pokémon
They are 100% correct, but what they’ve missed is that they’ve de-valued Shiny Pokemon. If I can just pay for it, what value does it have? Plus, you’re not paying for exclusives just early access.
I agree, but appreciate that Zelda isn’t just “girl Link”. Ganon & Link sword fight enough, with Ganon dipping into magic, it makes sense for Zelda to lean heavily into it. I do think a bow would be fitting, but I expect we’ll have enough creativity with the echos that it won’t be necessary.
It sounds painful, and I’m concerned there will be too much menuing, but in general I’m trusting Nintendo on this one. (Well, maybe wait for a demo/review.)
Re no discussion,
For some reason Movie/TV discussion on Lemmy is limited. I’m guessing it’s just too niche still. It’s an uphill battle but assholes like me are still here, so we can discuss.
Re no guards, I’m guessing it’s a combination of
Ser Criston Cole putting guards in strategic locations to ensure he isn’t caught.
Larys Strong eliminating a handful of hand maids (and similar folk), replaced with his own. These new folks might not have the family in mind.
Kingsguard hanging out with King Aegon.
Overall not expecting an attack like this. Kings Landing is confident if attacked it will be via dragon.
I would love a continuation of the TV series, but as I understand the creator (of the TV series, Damon Lindlehof) doesn’t have a good idea for what to do next.
Someday I hope he, or someone does, but for now I respect the current decision.

I’d take another Impossible Lair over mainline game, but I’m not against a proper 3D collect-a-thon sequel.
Both were enjoyable, but Impossible Lair was better.
I guess if we get new games in the long run I don’t really mind, it just seems weird.
I played Yooka-Laylee on release and it was overall an enjoyable game. As I understand they fixed a number of bugs a few months after release, but by then us release day folks had beaten it (and reviewers reviewed it).
The first level of the game was excellent, the later levels felt more rushed (or at least lacking the same level of polish). Maybe the changes will be to those levels, although level layout is key so I don’t know if you can just resize/move things.
I played Impossible Lair about a year after release and thought it was awesome.
Based on this trailer I doubt I’ll play the original again, but maybe I can be convinced.
Shouldn’t they just make a sequel in that case?
Apparently there is little proof that she was in the box for adultery, or condemned to die at all.
More likely she was being transported.

For comparison the previous film cost $291 million and is considered one of the most expensive films ever made. It also brought in a box office of $567.5 million.
The new film is part 2 so you can expect a small boost to the previous film once this one releases. However unless this new film does absolutely amazing it will probably stand as the new most expensive production for some time.
Also the last film was a fun action film, so I hope for the same here.
Obviously I don’t know what the details of he suit against Disney but the truth is Disney fucked up and they knew it.
Disney tried to gain a few extra bucks at the cost of a legal battle with Johansson. If Disney won it would have been a clear signal that Disney is willing to screw over top talent for a few million dollars.
Not to compare “Black Widow” to “Endgame”, but that’s squabbling over millions when billions are at stake.
Looking at someone like Johansson that’s squabbling over millions when tens of hundreds millions are at stake. Contracts with top talent now take longer, top talent is a little less likely to work with Disney.
It all but guaranteed a loss for Disney.
The settlement was Disney’s way of saying “we fucked up”, and truth be told was probably at least partially responsible for Bob Chapek being replaced as CEO.
Never heard of this game, although it just releasing on early access is probably why.
Ori 1 & 2 are some of my favorite games, looking up a few trailers and gameplay videos for this, seems like it might be fun. As a rule I never buy early access games, but I hope this develops into a great game I can play in a few years.
If not… Maybe Ori 3 sooner? Either way I’ll wait. (And maybe get this game between)
Layoffs also shake every other employee in an immeasurable way.
Even if you didn’t lay someone off they may now change their priorities. Maybe they focus on the people pleaser tasks. Maybe they focus more on what is good for them to keep their job vs what is good for the company.
Layoffs should be a last resort but tech companies are just playing follow the leader right now. In a few years we’ll see memoirs and books stating “in hindsight we may have made a mistake, but we made the best decision we could with the information we had at the time”, it’s all absolutely bullshit. This is all being done for a temporary stock boost.

Yeah anyone apart from Larian making BG4 is basically fucked. Maybe if they wait 5-10 years and a studio with an established brand comes in, but that isn’t what’s going to happen.
Prior to BG3 I held BG1&2 somewhere in the top 5 games of all time. BG3 had an impossible bar to meet and they not only met it, but far surpassed it.
I’m genuinely sad at whatever BG4 releases as. It’s like someone who loved Diablo 1&2 looking at Diablo 3&4. Diablo 3 was a shell of Diablo 2 and I literally just had to check if Diablo 4 was a released game. Maybe it’s fun to someone, but I’ve completely checked out of the series.
So here’s to BG4, BG:TCG, & BG:Mobile, shells of the greatness that came before them.
Because his name is “Володимир Зеленський”, but neither you nor I know how to pronounce that so it is converted to “Volodymyr Zelenskyy” or a slight variation since there isn’t a direct translation or there are multiple translations.
Different news outlets have different rules, so some articles spell it differently.
But that’s true for every TV show/film.
