  • I actually didn’t dislike it that much, but I think the visuals kinda fell apart near the end with a cg overload that diminishes some of the appeal of the movie. I don’t think that part will ever age well. I also think some concepts didn’t really have any significance and couldn’t follow what the point of them was. Time control for example. The megalon prosthetic recovery. Etc. I think FFC had a vision and he wanted to produce it no ifs, ands or buts. That probably had as detrimental an impact as positive. There are some points where someone just telling him to tone it down could’ve done the movie some good. I did like the allusions to Rome, as a great republic (and later empire) that collapsed and how modern America resembles that with decadence and corruption. That vestal virgin sh*t was creepy as hell tho and I have no idea what the point of it was as it was basically forgotten 10 minutes later.




  • I legitimately avoided rockstar for years because they force you to use their store even when you buy on steam. I still haven’t played rdr2, despite critical acclaim. I finally caved and got GTAV on sale cause I realised none of this shit works. Consumers using purchasing power to enforce standards is a losing battle. The storefronts or legislators need to enforce this shit. I think it should be valve. They have the market position and userbase to actually succeed or at the very least convince publishers to not break shit that was already working fine.






  • It costs $49.99 per year (or $11.99 per month)

    Why in the hell does the monthly price end with you paying 280% more than the yearly. That is such an absurd discount I don’t even know why someone would pay at all for this app but more so I want to understand where the price justification is and who came up with this plan.

    To be clear I support artists and more than welcome a platform for them to share and sell art if they wish… I don’t get why it needs to be a subscription service and I don’t see how such inflated charges are going to help artists as it’ll just discourage large numbers of people wanting to support them.
