    What is the term for when the internet collectively latches on to hyperbole and half truths for something it decides to to hate; but the hatred is entirely due to the continued spread of those same bits of hyperbole and half truths; and also viciously attacks anyone who tries to point it out?

    I swear, Lemmy’s hatred of Brave is like… mass psychosis? No, that doesn’t seem right. It’s like everyone’s argument against it stems entirely from surface level skimming of hit piece headlines. And then the vitriol is dialed up to 11, all based on shit that you learn is overblown to the point of comedy once you spend even a single minute reading about it.

















  • Honestly, it was my favorite SW game I ever played. Yes, better even than KotR. I felt like I was IN the Star wars universe. Not as a mystical space wizard, but just like… A person. And I loved every second of it. The world felt so alive, especially the cities. There were so many small elements that didn’t need to be there but I appreciated nonetheless, like the street food mini game. Did I need a weird QuickTime event mini game to eat food? No. Did I enjoy the fact that you would get served a big dish of alien cuisine and then actually get to see your character eat it? Like bite-by-bite and could watch it disappear with incredible detail? Sure! There’s a lot of points like that where you can see a lot of love and passion for the game shine through.

    It makes me so sad to hear how poorly received the game was. Coming on the heels of Andor, it felt like it was supposed to be a big push in trying to move the SW franchise away from the constant Jedi/Sith space wizard conflict and focus more on the universe itself. Hell, even the rebellion/empire conflict took a back seat in favor of exploring the criminal underworld. I would LOVE more of that (and yes I know about the Maul show and have been enjoying it, but it too leans heavy on the space wizards).
