Oof. Based on these comments, we have a cultural blindspot here.

So his contempt of the guests and his refusal to fawn was part of that.
His entire schtick, for years, was being the “anti” Tonight Show. The late night shows used to pride themselves on being seamless and smooth. Pre-packaged, tightly scripted bits. Letterman was the guy where if the smoke machine wasn’t working, he’d tell the camera to zoom up on it, and get a closer look at the… Read more
There was an editorial in Esquire about this. About how Brad Pitt is best as a supporting actor, and that he’s a quirky side man who’s been damned by leading man good looks, which are exactly the types of roles he should be avoiding. Also, that his best films are the ones that make his masculinity part of the joke.

It was my privilege to work with you. Thank you for everything, and good luck wherever you go.
I would tell that person that he does not have to push R2 all the way down! They made the last part hard to press on purpose, to signify that your web shooter is empty. Just press it until you feel resistance, and then let go. Don’t fight through it.
Oh wow, I forgot about this. That entire launch was... interesting.
I hope so too. But the potential is there. But to be fair, I don’t know how much labor it would take to map an entire game’s haptic feedback. I would guess that it takes a long time.
I liked that though. I think that moving forward, the goal shouldn’t be more rumble; it should be more varied rumble. The Nintendo rumble was great because it was subtle. The DualSense is better, I think, because it’s specific.
No I did not, though I do not have a home entertainment system, nor do I have high quality headphones that would do this justice. :(
If you get one of your guys’ gear to 130, and try to then get that gear to 140, you’ll see what I mean. They start asking that you give them 14 modules at a time. Read more
That only goes so far. You can’t break down your any of your other resources into the grey material, which is the only currency you can use to purchase modules.
Yeah, maybe this might be worth revisiting then.
I tried getting into Assassin’s Creed, and I got out of there fairly quickly. The massive map with eleventy billion glowing flashing mission icons gave me anxiety.
I feel similarly. I really like it, but I’m worried the launch and initial confusing messaging (is it a multiplayer? Is it single player? Is there loot?) may have already sunken it.
That, and once you get to a certain point, the game artificially slows you down by drip-feeding you upgrade modules. You need 14 of them or so to upgrade one level near the end. So you do the daily missions to get two DNA keys, and then you do a vault mission to use those keys to open the blue chests. That’s 20… Read more
Absolutely! They recently announced that they’re going to be allowing you to play the campaign again, with your fully powered characters, so that’s great. Those were the most unique, distinctive missions in the game, and it’ll be great to play them again with what I have now, as long as they scale the enemies to match… Read more
Oh, you don’t know the half of it. I must have broken every pane of glass in Seattle. The feedback and sound on that is so satisfying.
Same. I love this sort of insight. Especially because this sort of work is unsung by design. If the audience thinks the actual A-list actress threw herself out the window or fell down the stairs, then mission accomplished.
