Think I'm starting to "get" the Steam Deck. There are just so many games on PC that aren't on consoles and having access to them on a more console like device is very cool, even with some of the headaches that come with the territory

He's overweight for starters

Like I am too but my doctor isn't running around saying I'm in exceptional health

No

It has been like 30 years, do something new and interesting even if the risks don't end up paying off. Reading and discussing theories and the general conversation has actually been fun and interesting to follow which wouldn't have happened with a 1:1 remake

NESbot @nesbot.bsky.social · 19h

Would you have preferred the FF7 Remake saga to stay more faithful to the original story?

Master & Apprentice story on TYTHON! #StarWars

Set between Episodes VIII and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.

After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed. Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch when she herself is unsure of the way?
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there - and to her surprise, so does Leia.

Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete. As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst. With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

Battlefield 6 is awesome

The Dualsense is not

Immediately had to turn off the adaptive triggers. People like this in shooters? All it does with aiming anyway is decrease responsiveness which uhh I mean

Q: "How many layoffs have you authorized?"

Trump: "A lot. It will be Democrat oriented...They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we'll announce the numbers over the next couple of days, but it will be a lot of people...Many of them will be fired."

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The bioweapon from Prometheus was a huge plot element in Romulus

Covenant ended with David taking over the ship & infecting the entire colony with it

Romulus ends with Rain and Andy leaving for a new planet

Gosh I wonder what the next movie should be about and who they should run into

Cancelling a project that may cause the mistaken or the uneducated to realize they're wrong is exactly why it shouldn't be cancelled. It's a slap in the face to the fact that art has historically served as an expressional and instructional tool for humanity to better itself.

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.
