Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

I think it's effective at conceptualize the many forms that resistance can take. Not everyone's suited for piloting an X-Wing.

Shinichiro Watanabe gets all the shine but we all probably should have paid more attention to Keiko Nobumoto while she was still with us. Time to give Wolfs Rain another try.

You're so lucky to have seen Vultures live. I saw Queens at Key Arena in Seattle during Villains and it was amazing but now a live Vultures show seems to be increasingly unlikely and more rare. Especially with Grohls personal problems.

Brave New World gripe 1 The editing is rough during the fight scenes. 2 Suddenly Cap is asexual? Whereas we had multiple movies where Cap's love life was constantly talked about. 3 Omg the cgi 4 Red Hulk should have been a surprise. Marvel got scared. 5 #2 again. Xosha Roquemore is RIGHT THERE.

Yeah it's by no means terrible just not up to the level of Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop, though episode 8 gives me hope. I'm watching it on HBO Max as a fan of his previous work.
DiggNitty (@diggnitty.bsky.social) reply parent
The season is still ongoing. I like it but I feel it's one of Watanabe's weakest so far. The latest episode, 8, has been the high point. I'm hoping it picks up for the final 5.

I really hope people show up for Clair Obscur. It's so good. I haven't been this into a turn-based rpg since final fantasy 10.

14 is a little unfair since it's an mmo but otherwise I hope you're right. I really enjoyed 15 but haven't felt as engaged in the storytelling aspects of FF in a long time.

In absolute agreement that Murkowski should resign if she refuses to do her job. Obviously a lot of these politicians got into the game at a time when it was less likely that their personal well-being could be at stake. They need to get with the times or get out of the way.

Running down the hallway, hand in hand is great, but these over-the-shoulder shots as he's walking towards her are beautiful. The way he fills up the screen. I've watched it a hundred times. #Severance

If mystery box is not your thing turn back now. If you're a 'journey is the destination' kind of person, keep going. The performances are so good.

Hmm yeah aspects of FFXIV aren't my favorite. I preferred XI but it doesn't look like SE is interested in making an MMO like that again. Thought XV was great though.

Whether that confidence is justified remains to be seen lol. I hope they can do it but I also feel really invested in the relationships and ultimate wellbeing of these characters once we get to the final episode.
DiggNitty (@diggnitty.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, that's totally valid. I think the mystery box thing is going to be hard to land for most people even though I love the show. It's impressive to me, though, that somehow, each episode has more questions than answers for a show where the seasons are this short. Shows a lot of self-confidence.

And i say all of this as a Yoshi P fan. That's why I bought the game in the first place sight unseen after playing FFXIV for a billion years
DiggNitty (@diggnitty.bsky.social) reply parent
No need to apologize. It's just like in 12. We're supposed to care about Vaan when Balthier is CLEARLY more interesting as a lead. I just found Clive to be kind of..milquetoast? 🫠 And it didn't help matters when he literally takes Cid's name after his death lol. I just think SE missed on this one 😬

Lol We're talking about a video game series with giant chickens you can ride around like horses. It's all silly.
DiggNitty (@diggnitty.bsky.social) reply parent
I disagree that I had a preconceived bias. I actually had very little exposure to the game prior to playing it and bought it purely as a series fan. It's just that once Cid shows up, it's like, why isn't this charismatic character the lead? Had the same issue with Balthier in 12. But, enjoy!
DiggNitty (@diggnitty.bsky.social) reply parent
That tracks. I've hated Maher for years.
DiggNitty (@diggnitty.bsky.social) reply parent
I just couldn't get into this one. I think I wrapped my head around Cid being a more interesting lead character to me, and it was hard to let that go. Played 15, loved it, and 14 since before ARR, but this felt like a miss to me.

motivations are a huge part of the mystery surrounding Lumon and we finally got some answers! NOBODY had her as the creator of Severance on their bingo card.
DiggNitty (@diggnitty.bsky.social)
Reading the feed it's clear Severance isn't for some people and that's OK. The mystery box aspect of the show is great but the characters and their motivations are really what keep me coming back. Can't see how anyone can watch the latest and come away thinking nothing really happened. Cobel's ..

No way the death Foggy in the new season of Daredevil is anything but behind the scenes MCU shenanigans. I don't see the point of getting rid of Foggy and Karen only to bring in two characters for Matt to work with who are essentially serving the same function but with less personal connection.
