Increasingly thinking I should look into expatriating. Not just because everything is on fire but also I'm just very tired and my life has gone mostly nowhere, and a change of situation feels like it would do me good. Go somewhere for a year or two and see what happens, that sort of thing.

Games are art in the sense that you have to take them seriously and therefore take me seriously for consuming them, but they are not art when you want to do art things to them like analyze and critique them or suggest they have deeper meanings or intent.

The thing about all these comics is when you have something so long-running with so many hands at the wheel, things get arbitrarily added but get used so long they become “the way it’s always been” as the characters evolve.

Anyway given that this all started from people arguing Magneto has always been right even pre-Clairemont, it appears that comic books’ morality is too complex for many people.

It really doesn’t. He’s not doing anything good, he says he’s doing something possibly good as cover for trying to *blow up the entire city* after forcing everything into martial law. Batman has a lot of morally ambiguous villains but Bane isn’t one of them, and definitely not *this* Bane.

The slow start is I think one of the more common criticisms of it. If you played the first game you get some buyin from "oh I know some of these characters" and I think they lean on that to get you invested at the start, but it is definitely not representative of the game as a whole.
MrNelson007, Slayer of Stroggs (@mrnelson007.bsky.social) reply parent
But yeah physically slow moving, I get it now.
MrNelson007, Slayer of Stroggs (@mrnelson007.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, yeah, that's the start. But that's just the game being Slow in general, yes.
MrNelson007, Slayer of Stroggs (@mrnelson007.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm not sure what you mean in that sense? Do you just mean lack of access to the larger map or? It does a lot of slow rollout of mechanics but it does slow *everything*, it's a very deliberately-paced game for sure.

I have my criticisms about RDR for sure but it's a testament to the kind of thing Rockstar can do when they actually take their story seriously, and more than anything I've never played a game that let me get lost in the setting more than it.

RDR2 single player is extremely slow, in ways both good and bad, yes. Online is its own separate thing and also doesn't get updated like, ever, because GTA Online makes infinity dollars, but sometimes you just wanna be cowboy and I already finished the offline stuff.

This feels like a problem with any MMO that’s been around for a while, exacerbated further by 14’s insistence that a lot of the story is solo content anyway. MMOs leave most of the “feeling alive” to the other players, and that works great, but only if you’re keeping up with the flow of content
