MamboGator , to Patient Gamers in The Force Unleashed I/II was not as fun as I thought
@MamboGator@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah. It made the focus a lot more on lightsaber combat instead of force powers and showing off the physics engine of the technically "superior" versions of the game.

I replayed the 360 version of TFU recently and really can't stand it. But I also played the Wii version ported to Switch recently too and it's just as good as I remember. They're very different games and the Wii version was always my favourite.

With Chromeo? Jebus, if I were a concert-goer I would think this was set up specifically for me. I'll never stop loving "When the Night Falls."

ETA: Yep, that music video was definitely someone's fetish. Also, pretty sure that's Olivia Taylor Dudley from The Magicians and 5secondfilms getting pregnant twice as two different people.

I knew you'd retort with this exact example, because you're predictable.

No, I actually don't have the means to save everyone starving in Africa, or even a few. I don't have supply chain access, influence over foreign governments, or anything to directly aid anyone internationally. So I can give to charities, and do, but government corruption in poor nations ensures that the reach of those donations is limited and the cycle of poverty is ever perpetuated in order to maintain their existing power dynamics.

I also fully support foreign aid and am happy to pay my taxes to contribute to that.

I also am not wealthy. I'm not poor, but I have a hard cap on how much I can give to others before I'm hurting myself and my dependents, and that amount is nothing more than enough to keep a few people limping along for a little longer.

A billion-dollar company can reduce the cost of their absurdly priced medicines that would save millions, and still make insane profits. They just might not maintain perpetual growth.

I believe if you have the means to save someone and willfully withhold it, you're culpable for murder.

Pharmaceutical companies aren't going bankrupt if they can't charge thousands of dollars for a single dose. Common medications that are manufactured and sold in bulk subsidize the cost of medicines for rare conditions. They also enjoy patent benefits other industries don't get specifically to recouperate R&D costs.

Governments also can and do negotiate for lower drug costs, which is why medication is cheaper in Canada than the US.

Oh, and don't forget all the public funding pharmaceutical companies already get. Governments dumped tons of money into developing the covid vaccines and the companies made insane profits off of it.

If someone dies because the medicine needed to save them is "too expensive," both the corporate executives who set the price and the government cheapskates who won't adequately fund healthcare should be guilty of murder. Change my mind.

That was one of my favourite episodes of Monstrum.

It's been so long since I read Manly Guys. Time for a re-read from the beginning.

Do you ever drive through thick fog on a deserted road and wonder if you crashed somewhere back there and now you're driving through purgatory?

My favourite part of this movie was that they directly call out WB by making an unnecessary sequel mandate part of the plot.

Did anyone else think the guy doing the voiceover sounded like Werner Herzog?

I really wish game and film companies would stop sharing trailers on xitter, and people should definitely find a different source before resharing it. We all need to quit driving traffic to Elon's nazi bar.
