I mostly ramble about trivial nerd stuff, but I'm also on a Bluesky list for "angry politics." My politics are that bigots should fall into a deep, empty well. He/Him.

For me, like I mentioned earlier, there are just some options I *have* to take, that just feel like the only right ones right down into my bones. F'rinstance, that rage-baiting journo is gonna get his ass handed to him every time.

I'm honestly not too worried about being fucked stat-wise - this time, I'll try to avoid subconsciously molding 60 % of the team's stat blocks into the same basic shape, which should help. I don't know how that happened the first time around.

And I don't want that to sound like faint praise. Everyone in the cast does an amazing job, I was just a bit of an ass for doubting it just because I hadn't heard of them and they weren't primarily known as voice actors.

Speaking of precious batboy: I try never to be snobbish, but I'll admit, when I originally saw the cast list, I definitely went "Aaron Paul! Laura Bailey! Erin Yvette! ...jacksepticeye? MoistCr1TiKaL?? Yung Gravy? ...ok?"

But there's not one bad performance in there, and no sense of A- and B-tier.

It's already become clear that there are some options I just can't not choose - this was the case in Telltale games as well. But for the 3 biggest branches, I'm intending to go the opposite way.

Well, for two of them, definitely. I'm just not sure I can cut my douchy yet precious batboy.

Of course, people contain multitudes

(Still, the "Bond" aspect is the least interesting part of it for me)
I honestly don't have any investment in James Bond as a franchise anymore; it's a fossil, and if you move on from all the problematic elements, there's very little left to distinguish it besides the name.

That said, First Light looks like "IO Interactive Does Uncharted," and I'm up for that.

I'm still not over how the Dune menu looks. Dune, the giant-ass SF movie that was a huge success.

Is it the most important aspect? No. But christ it looks flat and uninspired.
Wtf is this DVD-ass menu

And now that physical media isn't popular enough to merit much investment from studios, you only get proper material on the Super Duper Special Edition releases.

Also, Blu-ray menus used to be their own art, and now it's static poster art again. And not GOOD poster art, either.
