Never heard of FightinCowboy before, but this is a streamer worth following it seems. Hes gained at least one new fan and i dont even really need to see his content. Stick to righteous principles and good will come to you.

Can you imagine the outrage if they simply remade Morrowind?

"Bethesda has gone woke! Not only did they make the elves dark, but they made those same dark elves the slave owners! Literally unplayable!" Even Vivec having two different skin colors would melt their minds.

It sucks that Yasuke is still experiencing racism 400 years after his death. I'm sure he wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

If the bigots are hating Assassin's Creed and it makes news, then that means it's officially good. If it was bad, thr bigots don't make news since they get drowned out by everyone else saying it's bad. It's my new metric for whether or not something is worth watching/playing.

I, unironically, use this as a way of finding movies, TV shows and games that I might like.

If you go on RottenTomatoes and look at the critic score vs. the user score, you can really tell a lot.

For example, if a movie has a very low critic score, and a suspiciously high user score, it's most certainly religious drivel created to push a narrative. If you click on the reviews, it will confirm it. Every time.

Conversely, if a movie or show has a very high critic score, and a suspiciously low user score, it's going to be because of conservative snowflakes getting triggered. Again, reading the user reviews confirms it every time.

In the case of the latter, it almost always means I will enjoy the content. So I will seek out movies and shows that have that discrepancy.

so... thoughts on the last jedi?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 minutes ago

Not the person you replied to, but...

When the sequel trilogy first came out, I was upset because it could have been a lot better. Looking back on it, though, I think that was a combination of nostalgia and high expectations. That's the problem all sequels struggle with, really, and the sequel trilogy didn't hit the mark.

Of the three, The Last Jedi was actually my favorite. I didn't particularly like what Abrams had done with the first one, and while I didn't think switching directors in the middle of a trilogy was a terribly good idea, I felt like I could kind of see where Johnson was going with it.

With Abrams, I felt like he was trying to recreate the original trilogy. Use a tried and true formula that worked and not scare the audience too much. It was bland. Uninspired. Corporate. Johnson seemed like he actually had a story to tell. It might not have sit well with the fans - he might take a big swing and miss - but at least I felt like he was trying to create art instead of merely making money.

Honestly I kind of would like to see Johnson's take on a full sequel trilogy.

Obviously if I could have picked anyone to take on the chief creative direction on the sequel trilogy I'd pick Dave Filoni, but that's neither here nor there.

Well, it depends on how recently the content has been released. If it's recent, you can't use user ratings because it could be review bombed. But if some time has already passed, user reviews with time even out and settle on their true score. For me, user scores are always the most accurate.

If there's anything I've learned in social media over the past few years is that every wrongdoing can be blamed by the opposing political party. It's just so simple.
