Yes, because the Hutts would be totally cool with a couple of Jedi rolling up to their gambling dens and blatantly cheating for several hours. Screwing over one random used car salesman on a single bet is much easier to get away with.
Not to mention the whole "he could be the chosen one" angle, at which point freeing Anakin was just as important to Qui-Gon as getting off-planet.
I've always been curious about Arma, but I'm not sure if I'd like it... It appears to have a lot of depth, but the learning curve always seemed rather steep.
Starfield faked me out for a bit when I took the character creation perk that gave my character living parents that I could go visit and would show up from time to time. They were funny and adorably charming, and I thought it was an inspired touch. Little did I know that was the absolute best part of that game...
Kung Pow is one of the rare few movies to do the whole "we're intentionally making a campy, so-bad-it's-good movie" and actually succeed in emulating that aesthetic and also making something enjoyable to watch.
Don't fall for it, it's a classic blunder! Promoting to king makes it twice as easy to get checkmated! Article 1, section 2 of the FIDE Laws of Chess, states:
The objective of each player is to place the opponent’s king ‘under attack’ in such a way that the opponent has no legal move. The player who achieves this goal is said to have ‘checkmated’ the opponent’s king and to have won the game.
Note that it specifies "king" and not "kings" - the opponent only has to checkmate one of them to win!
I'd say most of them are protestants, but there's been a trend of a certain type of far-right "RETVRN TO TRADITION" wingnuts converting and becoming hardline tradcaths in the last decade or so. Those people absolutely would seethe over a black pope.
It's important to remember that Jones is a grifter first and foremost. He has never sincerely cared about anything in his life beyond his own enrichment, and I don't think this is a sign of him starting now. That said, I think it may still be significant that even hardcore grifters like Jones and Fuentes are starting to publicly speak against Trump. Grifters are always going to follow the money, so if Trump's ship is sinking so fast that even Alex Jones sees it to be more profitable to start to move away from him, maybe the MAGA cult of personality really is starting to finally fall apart...
Granted, that's all speculation, and Trump has managed to defy every previous prediction of the fall of his influence, so I don't want to jump to any conclusions here, but after the Canadian elections, I feel like I have a bit more reason to afford myself a little optimism for the future...
I don't think Morrowind needs a remake. A remake would likely try to smooth over the game's rough edges, but the rough edges are a big part of what makes the game actually work, imo.
Now, at this point I don't think I trust Bethesda enough to get an Oblivion remake right, either, but Oblivion was very much held back by technological limitations of the time, and in my opinion it hasn't aged very well. I can at least see the potential of an Oblivion remake where they don't have to be concerned about how much they can fit on an Xbox 360 disc.
I like the idea of Scaled, but last I tried it, most of the posts were one-pointers and it didn't feel that much functionally different from New.
