    Oh thanks for reminding me of my hot take: Rogue One is a thoroughly mediocre and boring movie that fails to give any of its characters personality or development. The only reason it has any acclaim is that it’s a “dark” plot in an otherwise saccharine franchise, and if the Star Wars set dressing was removed the whole movie would fall over like a potemkin village.

    I do think it’s better than several of the main movies, but that’s not saying much… And I’d probably rather rewatch those trainwrecks because at least they’re entertaining.






  • It’s a ludicrously good value, even if only half the collection lands for you. It’s awesome for the steam deck too. I’ve beaten a good chunk of the games and cherried several. While there are a handful that I would consider underwhelming, the vast majority are clever takes on one or more genres which would be standout hits if they were actually released in the 80s.









  • The fundamental problem is that a web engine is one of the most massively complex pieces of software that we currently use. There are a ridiculous number of standards and behaviors that a modern web browser needs to implement, as well as a whole host of security implications that need constant updating. It’s not like the majority of other software projects, where a determined solo dev or even small group can strike out on their own. It really requires a team of dozens or hundreds of developers putting in consistent effort, which basically means a corporate entity.
